We started my son into an online school for kindergarten, mostly because it offers flexibility for our family, higher academic standards, and allows us to work with his behavior in a safe environment. He's not violent or anything, just high energy, and we're concerned that in a standard classroom environment it will be too restrictive and lead to him acting out. We understand he still needs to learn social skills, but we can work on that in accordance with our ideals and in times and places of our choosing.
Thanks for your feedback! It sounds like the issue that we raise in the video of a lack of educational standards and quality is one of your top reasons for homeschooling. Thanks for your feedback and we wish you the best of luck with his homeschooling in the future!
When I see the number of people who interact with this channel, I feel disappointed with the type of parents who raise children today. They are wasting a treasure that was given to them for free.
@@Veltrosstho Never the opposite. Teaching your child the Glenn Doman way is to spend as much time as possible with them.

@@riel0563 it’s great that your looking into different educational options even before having a kid. Keep in mind about the statement about non-Christian teaching or no black history… we were discussing examples of what kinds of concerns parents have. The concerns of parents in regards to educational standards, moral instruction, etc. greatly vary from parent to parent. Thanks for your input about the need for security in schools. It’s great to get feedback and thoughts from parents and parents-to-be
Your approach is all wrong. Public school purists are some of the most unmimaginative people I've ever met in my life. Homeschooling is not ONE THING. It is a very rich spectrum of different combinations of home instruction, tutoring, partnering among families, and increasingly things like microschooling, where teachers unchained from the mind-numbingly stupid government school blueprint are much, MUCH freer to show their teaching chops. And, last but not least, already, in places like supposedly left-leaning Seattle, there are partnerships between public schools and homeschooling groups to offer a flexible mixture of services that affords immensely improved options to parents and students. One thing is for certain. Anyone who shows zero interest in innovation and experimentation and expanding choices is just an ideologue or union shill, neither of which give a CR***P about education, but instead, want to shoehorn the entire educational system to into some narrow fascist paradigm that fits a stale political story they are telling themselves.
@@littlerainyone Not sure if your message was meant for us or another commenter, but we absolutely agree that homeschooling comes in different forms. At the end of the video, we propose how schools could launch co-ops where parents and students alike can learn about mutual interests and common causes. Thanks for your thoughts and input!
Believe me if I didn't have to work, I would home school my kid. When the education system is completely disconnected from the authority of the parents, that's when homeschooling becomes very appealing. I want to know everything about what's being taught to my kid. And I want to be able opt my kid out of anything that in contrary to our values. That means permission slips without consequences when parents say no.
Homeschooling should be illegal. The entire point of public schooling is to ensure that all kids have access to a standardized education. You have no right to deny them that.
@@BMC_self-invent We appreciate your feedback. Did you like the idea that we presented at the end of the video about schools having co-ops where parents and students attend alike for mutual learning? Interested in your feedback on that point
@@canada1529out of interest, given the great violence issues in US schools, what would you say to parents who have the very valid worry that schools are unsafe for children? That they must send their children they feel is unsafe? I’m also wondering if you’re a parent yourself, because most parents would agree that they have a better sense of what’s right for their child than the government does. If you are a parent, do you trust the government to make your child’s life decisions over your own judgement?
@@Veltrosstho It seems in the earlier history of homeschooling (1970s), there was cross-over between unschooling and homeschooling, but now they are very different concepts of how children are educated!
Well for me, it was the school employees giving me trauma, doing nothing about bullying, good ol ableism, and not teaching me anything (except in math, I did learn stuff there. Funnily enough my math teachers were some of the best teachers I've had) so yknow, I don't do public school anymore! I do an online school thing so I'm still getting an actual education (aka I'm learning real things (well not really, only learning things in history class and math, other subjects are saying things I already know) and I have an actual record of my schooling) though.

They did NOT know how to deal with me, and I fall into the low support needs area of autism. they would find fault in something I did once a week or so, which is odd since for the last year of school I just slept during class (which they didn't have a problem with the sleeping through class part). plus they kept bringing the schools dean around, when they knew she seant me into a panic attack (they had other options, mainly the 10 or so social workers they had) also they once told me I wasn't having a panic attack when I obviously was. they're reason?

@mikemikeson3360 I grew up homeschooled and I plan on homeschooling my kids. The rebels tend to come from the ultra controlling parents who are a minority.
@@lelandbuerman4025 Out of interest, what are you most concerned about your children being taught in schools? As we said in the video, a lack of “moral instruction” is a big concern for many parents in their choice to homeschool, but these concerns greatly vary amongst parents.
@@domanlearning I live in NYS and I don’t want leftist views pushed on my children in their youth. I do not mind if gay people exist and are treated equally. I mean hey my tattoo artist was a lesbian in my youth… but when I toured our local school they had gay/trans flags on every single classroom placard next to the room number. The teachers name at the top, and “my preferred pronouns are…” underneath. My children have a right to go to school without being force fed propaganda in their elementary school on up.

Remember folks, homeschooling is not unschooling.
Unschooling is just a new word for passive parents to feel good about themselves.
