hello
i would like to know more about the disadvantages of homeschooling. I am doing a letter to the editor for a school assesment task and I need to find as many disadvantages as possible. If you can help please respond.

okay. please read my posts carefully.

in each case i refer to the original thread question. the question. the asking for information about the negatives only.

yes, i can and have read all of the post that come after. yes, i agree with most of them. yes, they generally support the idea of home schooling.

i get it.

but before another person reads my posts and tries to correct me on my misunderstanding of the thread, please read mine a little more carefully.

i disagree with the nature of the question. the original post. the asking for negatives only.

> "man... that question hit me wrong. absolutely no interest in the positives. unbelievable" referring to the original post where there is only a stated interest in the disadvantages...from my 1st post.

> "okay... maybe this isn't bashing, but its not a thoughtful, open question about the pros and cons. at best, if she thinks there are pros, she knows them all. but sounds to me like this is mostly interested in negatives. that is what i was talking about.

maybe my interpretation is wrong. if she wants all possible negatives in order to be able to counter them or address them, i guess thats different. i read it originally as a desire to put home schooling in a bad light." the "she" here is the original poster.

i never said the thread wasn't a thoughtful discussion. it was the original poster i have issue with.

man, this is painful.

i didnt feal like readin just posting my input
watch the south park episode concerning this and you will know my stance(also very entertaining)
i beleive that public schools should be mandatory but still not enough
parents should encourage and let experience as many of their child's interests as possible at home because the school is not able to provide.
school is just the base
im 22 and most of the knowledge i value the most i learned outside of it but i couldnt without the base from NY public schools

Unfortunately the original asker has only posted once and I doubt he/she is reading this.

i know you need to be careful about dredging up threads that the original poster isn't looking at probably.

but if this is the only reason to keep a post alive then why aren't posts locked after a certain time or number of posts in which the original poster hasn't responded?
