Topic: If we can educate our kids at home why do we need to send them at school? - page 11. (Read 6859 times)

for me "homeschooled child"  sounds a bit weird. like what's wrong with these kids? are they disabled in any way? 
it's not like being disabled is wrong but you know it may prevent child from going to school. and if a child is fine why would they stay at home the whole time?

It is not only about education, it is also about interacting with other humans of the same sort - ie children. This is usually necessary, or the children may never integrate in society later. But of course school is usually quite destructive for the most clever piupils' potentialities, so I see your point.

And what about friends, the world around, what development will they get sitting in the four walls of the house. With whom they communicate, develop, they will know. You are delirious, turn on your mind, your children should develop fully and not be wild people with a poor lexicon.

There are things that we can learned inside and outside the school.We need to send our child to school not only to learn anything about there subjects, but also to learn how to socialize and join themselves to other people.While inside the house, it is where the values and good attitudes needs to be taught on the child.

i am also thinking why we need to send our kids to school, even if we can educate them. but my mom said that its better at school because as a parent, you do not have all the experience in all thing and you do not have knowledge in all things, so there is a school that will fill the lack of knowledge you thought to your children

Not every time we will be at home to teach them.
And also, parent alone don't know all things.
Sending our kids to school is to gain more knowledge, wisdom and understanding

And, the kids will be brainwashed into tolerating stupidity. 

Don't tolerate stupidity. Fix it by teaching the kids right, at home, where they CAN be taught right.

One of the best things parents can do for their children is teaching them to tolerate other people from all walks of life. School does this pretty simply and subconciously. By enrolling in schools children learn to live with different kinds of people and become great social beings. Without tolerance the world will self destruct because we are all different in many ways.

No, they don't have the same values. And that's irrelevant anyways if you do your job as a parent right. It doesn't take much to talk to your kid about different possible ways to handle situations.

And socializing in school is a complete joke anyways. I honestly don't understand how people can even try to make that an argument. In school you are forced into a random group of people that you have nothing in common with. There's absolutely no merit in forcing your child into such a situation when you can just let it choose freely who it wants to interact with.

And no, the internet definitely isn't the "most unsocial way to interact with people". If anything, the internet is a far better way of socializing because people can talk about their problems openly without repercussion if they want to. That's not possible in school at all, where you could easily get bullied or shunned for the rest of your time at school if you speak up about something. Not to mention that school is a place of mediocrity and lazy little shits who have forgotten how to live life. I certainly wouldn't want my kid to become another brainless zombie who just follows stupid trends just to belong to some herd of uninspired, lazy and incompetent people.

Kids are much happier when they can do what they want freely while being encouraged to challenge themselves as well as supported when things get rough. None of this happens in school.

If school was a good method of raising a happy and successful child the world wouldn't consist of 99% unhappy and unsuccessful people who look back at their lives in old age and whine about how much they have missed out on.

The first one is they need to socialized with other people, this will teach them how to blend in society, it will teach them a lot of new things and school facility is better than homeschooling and kids need to socialize with the same age kids, this is good for their mental development

in any case, at school they will teach you what you will not teach) At school, children both learn and rest, they have a new acquaintance. They learn to communicate) And at home what? only you and all. And the child must develop in all sverah)) But in general, parents also work, and I think not much time will be that they would teach their child

I know some children who were trained exclusively at home and even did not go to kindergarten..and how parents did not try, it's very difficult for these children to perceive many rules of social life.

Kids can learn different things and knowledge at home but sending them to school is the best and right thing to do. They can learn new things in school and at the same time, they can improve their social activities because of their friends. There also some activities that schools can offer that they cannot do in home. Schools also mold their students to become a good role model to other people.

Don't you think that families with home schooled children have more or less same values, way of thinking etc...? (Same can be applied for music school.) How will a child learn to cope with something that is far out of his/hers comfort zone? Internet is the most unsociable way of socializing, it is easy to stand your ground behind a computer and something totally different if you have to do it in front of a group of people. I believe that homeschooling doesn't give you a variety of  needed interactions with different groups people and it does not prepare you for real life.

Yes, we can educate our kids at home but we still need to send them to school because what we can teach them is not enough for the student to learn a lot. They also need to socialize because if they are only having a home-study, they could not develop their social skills and it will make them be so ignorant of having conversation with other people. They also need to have interactions with other kids at the same age so they will not feel like imprisoned. Because as what I observed, those kids who grew at home without interacting with other people at the same age are not comfortable to socialize because they are used to be alone and no one to talk to.

Because kids need to be with other kids. Learning together, playing together, and experiencing new things together. It helps build their character and makes them unique and distinct.

I think the existing school system of my country doesn't satisfy the currect children needs. So I will have to look for other ways for my kids education. May be it will be home teaching, may be some other forms of education will appear till that time

we need to send our children to school for having friends and get them into an open commmunity, gathr self steem and learn alot from different people, we cant team them all they need at home what we can do is to teach them the foundation they need once we are out there

What are they going to learn from their classmates if their classmates are completely oblivious themselves?

Character building? Educators aren't the only teachers in school. They get to learn from their classmates, friends, and most importantly experience.
They learn how to get up, and become better. If intellect isn't the only factor here.
