Here’s more on some of the wonderful youth that are part of our schools:
A group of teens and pre-teens were seen attacking mom, Lakesha Graves, and her daughter in Cambridge, Maryland.
Shortly after a Chicago mother and her son were attacked by a group of teens, another mother and her children were assaulted by a group of juveniles in Cambridge, Maryland. Lakesha Graves says she and her daughters were attacked by a mob of students who allegedly intentionally got on the wrong school bus to attack them.
However, when Graves tried to de-escalate the situation, she says: “A 12-year-old rushes me, and then her friends follow up, and the boy punches my daughter in her face twice. And, you know, from there you see them dragging me across the field by my hair…” Graves told WMDT.
Cambridge Police told the local outlet that though some of the students involved were too young for the juvenile justice system, four of the kids were referred to Juvenile Services.
“We’ve seen juveniles escalate from assaults to vehicle thefts, the robberies and homicides,” Cambridge Police Chief, Justin Todd, explained. “We’ve seen it right here in our local community. And I think we’re going to continue to see it. And still we see a difference and a change.”
Where do such young children learn such violence?

A quality education is so much about the students that make up the school. Unfortunately, in America there’s so many pieces of ■■■■ that make up our schools:
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested eight members of the “United Thoroughbreds,” a traveling youth football team, on Saturday morning. The teens, ranging in age from 14 to 15, were charged with felonies after deputies say they coordinated a scheme to steal more than $2,200 worth of merchandise from a Dick’s Sporting Goods in Posner Plaza.
Using knives to “cut” other students is a sure way to ruin education:

Probably the first steps
(and they cannot be the only step) are to
– immediately, suddenly, and all at once re-institute tracking.
(good students in one class or building, poor students in another beginning… hmm 4th grade or sooner)
– steadily, and not-too-slowly, do away with social promotion.

My kids school has standard classes, advanced classes, gifted classes and classes where you earn high school and college credits simultaneously. Anyone can sign up for advanced but if they can’t or won’t keep up with the course it’s down to standard. Pretty much classes available for below average to near genius. Enough for the really able to be challenged or the manual labor inclined to get by on.

The trend continues as more people realize that homeschooling is far superior to the public trash our schools have become.

Teachers who achieve “degrees” and state accreditation of the now lowered standards don’t teach. Thanks to their so called “teachers unions” headed up by partisan hack ideologues, don’t teach subject matter. These babysitters preside over undisciplined unruly wildings that IF they apply the school districts outlined curriculum, are basically learning from devices other than practical instruction.
Now you know why Johnny can’t read.
And the high and mighty school boards aren’t worth a ■■■■ either.

how are their social skills? non existent.

“Among homeschooling alumni in CRHE’s network, it is rare to meet a homeschool graduate who experienced no struggles with socialization, understood in this way. In some cases, homeschooled children have sufficient interaction with friends to meet their social needs, but are socialized primarily with other children who are also homeschooled; these individuals often go through a painful period of adjustment, learning unfamiliar social norms and cues, when they begin interacting with other peers, whether in college or in the workforce“

I have not met too many people who can teach HS math and science.
But K-4? K-6?
Most parents can do far better job of teaching the core subjects.
And in every HS there are a bunch of socially mal-adjusted nerds and other usbgoups of outcasts
(plenty of chance of poor social skills when a gifted kid attends HS)
and many are so rotten that half the reason for homeschooling is
to PREVENT one’s child from being socialized into the HS herd.
Overall, “socialized by the schools” is lottery at best.
So . . . socializing is something homeschooling parents should keep in mind, (right up there with their ability to teach trig. or physics)
It is NOT however an ispo facto argument against homeschooling.
Fact is libs don’t like it only because it became popular in the conservative community first. Full stop.
