2007: Don't home school your kids. They'll turn out weird. 2024: A record number of public-school kids identify as barn animals.
Hahahah. It's funny AND true.
That was literal propaganda, and I can’t believe all of us fell for it
@@Azurethewolf168 Wake up and smell the roses, it's completely true :(
@@wantsanewvehicle i mean the homeschooled kids being weird. That’s done a lot in the media where a minority of the population of a group is conflated with the majority.
🤣🤣🤣
Homeschool kids learn critical thinking skills while public school kids learn to be critical of those who think for themselves
🏆
Homeschool kids learn critical thinking, public school kids learn critical theory.
Well said. 🙂
Homeschooled kids are functionally literate -whereas public school kids are literally dysfunctional..
Excellent observation! 😂
You wish 😆 I knew a bunch of home schooled kids and they were the most confused individuals I'd ever met. They were clueless about science and were taught religion as their science and history lessons. They also had no clue how to think logically because everything was from the "magical sky man" 🤣 They were also more racist and less socially skilled.
One of my proudest moments as a mom happened when my son went to public school for the first time in 5th grade because I needed to go to work part-time. Before that, he was homeschooled and private schooled. After two days at the public school, he came home wanting to talk. My mother in law was there too. He said, "Please don't make me go back there ever again." Mother in law said, "You are absolutely going back, that is a fine school." He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, "It's a prison mom, please, don't make me go." I looked at him square in the eye and said, "Okay, you are NEVER going back there. We will figure out another way." He was so happy. We got him in a homeschool co-op where other parents were willing to help me out so I could work. Mother in law was plenty mad for awhile. We bucked her on college too, because he didn't want to go. She said, "You have to go, you have no choice; it's what everyone does." Instead, he studied what he was interested in (while working minimum wage). Today he is a professional Surveyor where he gets to be out of doors, he is debt free, and he and his wife are co-op homeschooling their daughter -- she was reading at four, and is having terrific adventures. Yay for homeschooling parents; it used to be that going to school was a privilege, now being homeschooled is a privilege.
Thank you for sharing your story! I wish more people would share their stories. My family is considering homeschooling and this makes me more certain it's the right decision
@lindseyfranks3150 do it and don't look back! It is worth the sacrifice. Best thing we did when my oldest was in 8th, now she is almost done with Lab Tech program after she discerned she wanted to do that over the nursing path she initially started. It is the best for all of us, even when it is tough!
Absolutely go for homeschooling. Do not let anyone intimidate you out of it. We home schooled our children for 17 years and each of them went to college and excelled after graduating from homeschool. Now my daughter is homeschooling her own children. And that was 20 years ago that we homeschooled our children. I would do it again in a heartbeat. And today it's even more important to homeschool your children because the horrific influences in the schools are a serious danger to our children and the family. On top of that the resources for homeschoolers now are so much more abundant, the possibilities for you are endless. Find some other homeschoolers out there and talk to them, get encouragement from them, and hang out with them. It's a great way to go.
Also do not allow anybody to intimidate you into feeling like your children have to go to college. These days there are so many more opportunities for skilled positions that are so necessary in our society and do not require a college education. College has become a business and a propaganda machine unfortunately. One of the beauties of homeschooling is that you are able to allow your children to follow their own bent, their own interests and even tailor their education to fit and further their interests before they need to go out into the world.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement! I really appreciate it!
Home school kids, go to bed, at night, the same gender as they got out of bed in the morning.
That's hilarious but the truth
Yes!!!!
Honestly, so do the public school kids. The difference is the conditioning that convinces them feelings trump facts.
Love this!👏
You lose braincells everytime you wake up, aint got much left.
Home School Kids learn social interaction from adults.
Public School Kids learn social interaction from other kids, who don't know how to be adults.
Home school kids are allowed outside to socialise and probably more so than school kids who have homework or computer games.
Home schooled kids parents usally won't want their kids not socialising if they are investing so much time in their kids futures.
The big problem with modern schools in this regard is the age segregation -- it's one of the single most harmful things done to children. Instead of looking up to those youth older than you, you are taught to fear and avoid them. Kids are taught to only play with and speak to same-grade pupils.
@@RavenMobileyeah that’s dumb
@@firewizzard86not to mention you don’t have to deal with 8 hours sitting doing nothing, not moving like your meant to as a human. Along with not waking up at 6 and then coming home and not have any energy to do anything
@RavenMobile bro. I do not want the 3rd graders around the high school sophomores.
In your head, it's wholesome. In reality, your 3rd grader comes home hearing more profanity in a day than you've said in a week, and learning "Samantha's pussy smells like fish" because some sophomore thought it would be funny to say that loudly enough to hear.
Man, I didn't hang around high schoolers in the 3rd grade, but I tried to hang around 5th graders, and guess who _very_ quickly learned profanity and the existence of porn?
This guy.
"Age segregation" bro please lol
Homeschool kids taught how to think
Public school kids taught what to think
Neither is necessarily true.
@@lkqgirl3121 It's a bit of both in homeschooling. We all teach kids right from wrong, so yes we are telling them how to think morally. We give explanations though at home.
More like: Public school kids are brainwashed by Woke Leftist SJW Progressive Democrats masquerading as educators.
This is the single most accurate comment here.
THIS ☝
I was homeschooled until age 17 and went on to graduate college in three years with highest honors. My siblings and I are happily married to our spouses, own our own homes, have had jobs and provided for ourselves since we were 18, and are looking forward to retirement in a decade or so after carefully planning for our future. Homeschooling (when done properly) prepares kids well for life.
Watch New Polity podcasts on retirement…
Only a few kids in public school are actual PEOPLE.
No prom, no home coming dances , no ‘be good to your school’ pep rally’s, no year books, etc…..You missed a lot
I was homeschooled by my mom. My dad was against it the entire way. Up until I scored in the 97th percentile on my SAT.
I have been a history professor for over 25 years, best students I have had were homeschooled. They are better prepared, more eager to learn and are much better at communicating with others. I have been so impressed I started to share all my lectures as a free resource to help homeschooling families.
THANKS, we're homeschoolers and are checking out your channel now! Good stuff!
Wonderful! Hope you find some helpful content! @@concernedfornewmexico
Same here … I subscribed. Thank you, Professor!
I'm lucky to already be subscribed!
I subbed just now
Public school kids pretend to be cats and pee in litter boxes. Home schooled kids learn responsibility for their pets and clean the litter box the family cat uses.
This is the best example of the difference between public school kids and homeschool kids.
This is so true! Especially as a homeschooled kid.
So, I'm not the only one to take a tour of the local public school!?
Very true, my 11 year old (also homeschooled) sister can attest. 😆
Best comment award 🏆
Homeschool kids are told to go out and play after finishing their work. Public school kids are told to sit quietly doing as little as possible when they are finished doing their work.
Or watching the movie "Waiting to Exhale" for English class OR going on a field trip to Target.
Thanks for pointing out the obvious… dumbass
Public school kids learn to read Pat the Bunny in 2nd grade. 🐇
Homeschool kids learn to clean the bunny for dinner.
Homeschool kids spend time with their families, & are together a lot.
Government school kids are rarely with their families, & are taught to hate & keep secrets from their families.
I like that you called them government school kids because that is really what “public school” is. It is a government run school.
I wish that weren’t true!
This is the comment I was looking for. 100%
That is part of the purpose of government schools.
I'm not even a father yet and I've already decided to homeschool.
One of the single most important and impactful decisions you will ever make is who you marry. The mother of you children and your support for life
Bless you for your wisdom. Pray for your chosen partner God has for you.
Same as a missy!
Always remember, "Range Day" doesn't have to get stuck on Tuesdays! Best decision we ever made.
You won't regret it! It benefitted our family in every way! We did it all the way through their education. God bless!!
I was homeschooled. Not only did I graduate from HS early at 16 and start community college (didnt want to transfer to university til I was 18), but at 17 got it in my head I wanted to join the Air Force and scored an 89 on my asvab. My mom was dedicated. If you are a dedicated mom you can give your kids a vetter education and life! My mom did so much stuff with us growing up. Constantly going to museums, aquariums, the zoo, farms, the orchards, construction sites, police departments, etc. She would call ahead and coordinate so we could meet workers and ask questions. We met trash truck drivers, police, fire fighters, zoo keepers, doctors, nurses, quarry men, framers, (the blue collar workers always thought it was neat to be "interviewed").
It gave us a greater appreciation for how the world works, how things actually are made, and the people who make it happen.
I promote homeschooling!
This sounds so freaking awesome. Please do the same for/with your kids.
As soon as I heard “comment section” I knew where I’d be for the next 30 minutes 😅
This comment section is why bullies exist
I worked for many years at an historical site teaching kids about life in colonial America. I could always tell the home schooled children from the quality of their questions, their articulation when asking those questions and their knowledge of American history. You guys nailed it once again.
I volunteer at a nearby national park. We can always tell the homeschoolers just by their conduct. They're considerate and respectful, and civil.
Last spring, the park had four busses arrive... unexpected and unannounced... from a neighboring county school. The kids were like uncaged animals! One of the rangers' had his hat stolen, a gate on a main trail was broken, trying to conduct any semblance of a tour was a joke, other visitors felt unsafe and left the visitors center... and the restrooms had to be jet sprayed with disinfectant and heavy duty cleaner afterward.
The park superintendent not only wrote a letter to the teacher and principal about the student conduct & lack of control, but she also made clear the school was no longer welcome to the park as a school group. Best of all, she called the school district superintendent with the same report.
And to top it off, I'm a retired middle school teacher myself. Sooo much has changed since I retired in 2007... from the kids, the administration, the state mandates, and federal government meddling... homeschool if ya' can.
My homeschooled kids LOVED going to historical sites, hiking in National Parks, watching deer, elk, grizzly and polar bears up close in the field (Dad is a wildlife photographer), and going to meet our clients in their church clothes, shaking hands and being polite - the whole socialization bit, even before high school grades! (In high school, we took them to South Korea on our working holiday!!)
@@justme.9711 I hate to be pedantic, but it's correct to use "an" if the H is silent and followed by a vowel sound. Example: class started late and then "an hour" later, we had lunch
@@xblJoey I never knew that, but I've heard it and used/applied it many times - DOH! lol. Thank you so much for that brother. I don't mean or want to be vain, but I'd like to delete the comment, since it is in err and is not helping anyone, though it did, through you help me. God bless, from Australia.... Mate.
Did you ask them if they where home schooled or public? Blanket statements make for small minded fools who spread ignorance. Maybe they where kids that had a good set of parents,did you ever think of that our do you like insulting good kids who have parents that work in society to provide something to the world besides division and hate of others
Seriously though, the only weird homeschool kids I've ever met are because their parents are weird. But public school kids are weird because its a state requirement for graduation.
True, so true. 100% FACT.
Public school kids seem weird because they're traumatized.
I’m a 38 year veteran homeschool mom and I approve of this message. Yes- we’re ALL weird. But weird is just another word for AWESOME! Great job, Bee! 😂👍
I was homeschooled for only three years, 3rd-5th, and I was reading at a highschool level and doing algebra by 6th grade. Knocked it out of the park. Turns out when your teacher is your parent, they have way more incentive to make sure you are actually learning something.
As a public schooler that recently became homeschooled, they make public school sound too good its way worse
So true! 😅 I grew up mostly homeschooled. I only attended one year of public school. So when I decided to go to my zoned school's prom in my senior year, I was extremely disappointed to find out it was NOTHING like school dances on TV. 😭 Girls do not sit in chairs along the side, and boys do not come ask random girls to dance. And 16 years later, when I was training to be a teacher, I had to work for a semester in public high school. Boy, I have never heard so many curse words from kids' mouths in my entire life!
Who taught you to read and write? Public schools don't do that.
Yup. Former public school teacher turned homeschool mamma of 4 and counting. It’s a zoo out there. 😢
It`s "OMG" vs. Psalm 92: 1 "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound."
I was home schooled until highschool, so glad I went because it was super fun for me, but I didn't learn a damn thing and my grades reflected that in majority of my classes, history and computer science was fun though
My wife and I are teachers for a home-schooled group of kids in a coop. I spent 28yrs as an Army Infantry officer. My degrees are in history. I teach geography, history, the Constitution, and Government. My wife, a retired public school elementary music teacher for 27yrs, teaches choir, piano, and English. I also am a lifelong jazz brass player, so I have two trumpet and 1 trombone students. All the students learn map reading, using a compass, know all the terrain features on military maps, and understand the value of paper maps in a grid down scenario. These kids ARE smart. They all read way above public school grade levels. Here is the really nice part. They can write! Their papers are very good. They cite their sources correctly. My wife and I are having fun. There are many different ways to get home schooling. The coop is made up of working class, two income earners. The cadre of teachers are retired people like myself. Trust me, we do not do it for the money. I want the kids to be empowered with knowledge. We need more "thinkers" in America and fewer zombies.
So great here. When the SHTF you, your wife, and those kids and others you may have taught in the past will have a significant high chance of being survivors.
@@survivingbehindliberallines That was our thinking. The concept of a Renaissance man in education is important. Why can't kids or adults be accomplished in many different fields? If possible, I say yes. The arts, sciences, history, classics. Build your own community. Neighbors, friends, family, looking out for, protecting, teaching, and yes, we can weather storms. This called mutual support in the military. A unit on offense usually has at least one unit to the left or right providing support, if it is needed. For some fun reading, study the tenants of war. Take those same tenants and apply them to everyday life. You will be ahead of your peers. Works in business as well.
@sisleymichael Thank you for taking the time to write edgar you wrote. My daughter is going to 6th grade and we are seriously considering home schooling her instead of sending her to middle school. I learning so much and got ideas from your comments. Salute to you from Jacksonville, Florida.
Im homeschooled, and last year we learned everything there is to know about maps, then at the end of the year we went on a hike using only our maps and compasses.
Oh, by government standards used by the FBI, your a threat to democracy (ie the teachers unions) and need monitoring
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️ The best decision hubby and I chose was to homeschool our children. Now, I am in my 20th year and teaching my grandchild. Parents AND grandparents, you can do this!
The gun part in this video is so true! 😂
I’m a Media teacher at a public school. Thankfully, almost every teacher and administrator is a Christian. 🙌🏼 We receive the Brave Books, and I read them to the kids. We are also having their book fair this spring! Bye bye scholastic!!
One of our kids decided to do grade 11+12 in public school. He had many things to say about the difference but the one thing that stood out was, “The teachers spend most of their time being police officers. Not much lesson going on.” God, protect our ability to have the home education choice in our land.
Amen!
Too often public school teachers are not allowed to police in any way. Most of the rest of the time they've settled into their role as apathetic prison guards, allowing obvious injustices to occur. And these days they weep for joy when kids ask about their odd actions & looks designed to make the classroom all about the teacher's lifestyle choices.
Oh you beehive in that novel. Breed to lie and spread lies. So sad you will never know the truth.
As a part time middle school substitute teacher I can confirm this statement. Fortunately for me where I fill in it is more about just trying to keep them quiet so you can get through the lesson. I would guess there is only about 10-15 minutes of quality time spent on the lesson.
My youngest grands spent three years in public elementary and because that being the biggest issue they are now homeschooled..
Your son or daughter you created means ts your choice, unless you relinquish them to daddy government.
Strangely enough, my daughter who happens to be homeschooled, graduated a full year ahead of schedule. She's now getting A's in college. Including in such courses and calculus 2 and advanced organic chemistry. Her calc teacher wrote in a recommendation letter that she is one of the best students he has ever taught.
What a freak. What kind of monster have I helped create. :(
My doctor, or whatever career she ends up pursuing.
You definitely should be ashamed of yourself for raising an amazing student....
The main problem is sports though. Can homeschool kids get drafted in college football or have hopes to play professionally???
Yes, my kids were able to participate in HS sports. My daughter was going for UND hockey. She was very good. UND cancelled their women's program before she graduated. The USA olympic team recruited players from that team. Very sad day.@@mofimTV
@@mofimTV Um YES 😂
Homeschooled all four of ours, and no one could tell they were homeschooled. I made sure they interacted with everyone and were polite and sociable. They are all happy, successful adults today, and I love being around them.
I worked for a local school district, and whenever I met kids that had been previously homeschooled I was amazed at how they could carry on a conversation like an adult.
"It turns out everyone is weird." YES. THANK YOU. 🤣
that destroys the meaning behind the word "weird" and turns it into a useless word
@@christmaskitty5891
I think weird means 'my interior life is not completely congruent with the way everyone - including me - typically acts.'
Normal is sooooo overrated.
Eh, sort of. If you have a baseline of normal, there are numerous different ways to be weird. Pretty much everyone is abnormal in some way, just not the same way. One guy is mostly normal, but he absolutely has to get up at 5am and go run a couple of miles. One girl is mostly normal, but she reads 3 books every week. There are also the negative examples, like the guy who is mostly normal, but smokes and drinks heavily.@@christmaskitty5891
@@christmaskitty5891 haha but "weird" is so subjective... :P I just agree with the concept that since we're not robots, everyone has SOMETHING weird about them. Even the "normal" people. 😂
Homeschool kids get along with their brothers and sisters. They also know how to respect elders. Public school kids are taught to think of self first. ❤❤❤
Yes! My 4 adult children who were homeschooled through elementary grades still make plenty of time for their sibs and love family gatherings.
Now the younger cousins are getting to be best friends.
Hahahaa, good one
Maybe as adults it is more true than for other families. But it was the opposite for me compared to my friends when I was a kid
SO TRUE 😭 THANK YOU💖
Um… wait I’m supposed to be getting along with my siblings??
Here's a difference: homeschool kids are only bullied by their brothers or sisters. Public school kids are bullied by fellow students.
My wife was homeschooled and took college courses at age 14. Graduated high school at 16. I was in public school and squeaked by high school just three months before I turned 18.
i homeschooled my 3 sons till 9th grade. i was so blessed to give them a childhood! we did school work from 9-noon and they were done for the day. they played and read the rest of the day. they had a few chores around the house like dishwasher duty, sweep or vacuum duty, take out the trash… all in all they had a real childhood! all 3 have their own family’s now, only one homeschools his 5 kids but all of them are great husbands, and wonderful fathers.
famile
That's great! How did you help them develop their social skills?
@@bartholomewhalliburton9854 So many ways your kids can be socialized in a positive way instead of being stuck constantly with kids that are tiktok addicts. Its being proactive as a parent to make sure to put in the effort to do so. Communities have a lot of activities available and you can reach out to people that have your same thoughts. Being open to chatting with the moms and dads at their activities and not being afraid to try to connect. You would be surprised how many ways kids can connect.
Homeschool kids want to be a doctor or a lawyer when they grow up. Public school kids want to get a lawyer and sue a doctor when they grow up.
Hence the home-schooled kids got jobs that paid them quite well!
I’m a homeschooled kid and I endorse this message.
My kids wish they could have attended public school… their idealized version of it, anyway. They have never met a public school kid who didn’t envy them, intensely, for the fact that they didn’t have to “go to school.” When they were little, I let them have snow days to match the school system, but even then the public school kids didn’t play outside 😢
I'm a mom with kids in public school, and I also endorse this message. 😆
ayo speak for yourself lil bro
Me too
@@Callsign_Sturm they’re also taught that a classroom setting is the only way to learn since the desire and ability to learn outside the classroom was stifled by the more urgent need to escape the stress caused by the public school environment.
Home schooled kids graduate high school early and actually know how to read, write, and do advanced math. Also they can discern right from wrong, good from evil, and friend from foe.
They probably can answer the question, "What is a woman?" with an intelligent response, as well. 🤣😂
Idiot
What? You mean, do any kind of math!
They absoultely are terrible from discerning friend from foe, they've only met friends!
I homeschool my youngest 2 (our oldest 3 went through the public school indoctrination camps) and we go to homeschool co-ops , of course there are always exceptions but for the most part I’m blown away at the difference between public school and homeschool children. This video is pretty spot on. The self confidence of the homeschooled children to me is apparent from not being at a public school where there is a much more prevalent spirit of anxiety, a spirit of confusion, a spirit of depression, competition and materialism.
I’m 33 now but my mom homeschooled me and my 3 brothers k-12. I have the best memories as a kid! I didn’t know what style was until I was in college. I was allowed to just be a kid. We went to museums, the zoo, trips during the school year. It was the best. I loved the experience and wouldn’t have traded it for public school. Especially because all my friends were in public school and they would share horror stories with me.
Babylon Bee: My go-to, trusted news source. Who else remembers when they were satire? 😜
They were satire?
Nailed it!! 👍
The bucees bit had me rolling!
Home school kids bypass jr. college and go direct to university. They also can use they're, their, and there in a sentence correctly.
Don't forget your and you're! Sigh. The forgotten "yourses."
best decision ever. My wife and I homeschooled our 3 boys. First class was Jr college at age 15. Jr college degrees at age 17. Socialization was co- op, sports and church. Oldest is an ER Dr and two time collegiate D1 national champion in mountain biking. Middle son owns his own business and youngest is a Delta pilot. Kindest most confident men ever. Huge sacrifice and scary. So many resources available. Find your local homeschool group and ask questions. So much curriculum available. Good luck
Homeschool kids enjoy their own home-grown peas. Public school kids enjoy tide pods.
As a kid who has been public schooled, I would be the first to criticize the public school system. However, this should inspire compassion rather than condescension for kids who haven't been given the opportunity of home school. These kids are not inferior, just inferiorly educated. I hope that homeschool and classical education continues to increase so more kids can receive a well rounded education, not just thirteen years of government daycare.
Compassion is not what satire is about. 🤦♀️
I don't think anyone here blames the kids for their predicament in public schools. We understand that they're a captive audience to people who, for the most part, are enslaved to a corrupt and horribly misguided system.
I feel you. I'd sooner mock parents who choose to send their children to school then wonder why they're not learning anything and they're all messed up and being bullied.
This comment is an example that not every person who is public schooled turns out poorly. Well said. Although the video is satire and should not be taken too seriously.
You're one of those people that "fact checks" jokes, aren't you.
"Two hours of lessons stretched into a full day" summarises my experience as a high IQ kid in a concerted (halfway between private and public school) so well.
I'd take novels to read in class under the desk after I got my work done or while the teacher was explaining concepts I'd already mastered. Or I'd be reading chapter eight in the history book while the class was covering chapter two.
I remember a teacher got mad because I was drawing while listening to his monologue about the day's subject, thinking I wasn't paying attention. He adked me to repeat what he had just said, and I just belted out the whole thing fro. the start, word for word, all five minutes of it. I then explained the drawing helped me from becoming distracted and lost in my own thoughts.
As someone with pretty extreme ADHD, autism, and sensory issues -- I can relate!
I spent at least 30% of my school time drawing. I find it easier to listen to people I'm not looking at, looking at people's faces/eyes is a huge distraction!
I knitted in university classes for the same reason. And when the semester was over, I actually had something to show for it!
@@EarlyMusicDiva I have taken up darning while watching RUclips so I don't feel like I am wasting my time.
Loved my 7th grade math class when I was in public school (in the 1970's, before homeschooling was legal). The classroom was across the hall from the school library, so my teacher let me go there after I'd finished with that day's work. So glad when my high school started allowing students to take less classes, so we could leave to go to our jobs. Because it only took 3 years to get enough credits, but 4 years were required to graduate. I took lots of literature and art classes to fill up my schedule. At least in those, I could do all my assignments in class, which made it easy to work full-time. But as a homeschool mom, my kids got to run downstairs and play with their Legos and other toys, during short breaks. After the other school work was done for the day, they frequently ask if I could read more of the history book we were using. (They were usually library books, so I read aloud to all of them.)
@Fridelain So gifted yet you spend your time commenting on RUclips. Very inspiring tale.
In either situation you have to be an advocate for your children all the way through.
I was a judge and later judge captain at one of the regional National History Day competitions for about 10 years.
I can tell you that our best entries were from parochial and home -schooled students. During the judges interview, their ease in communication while discussing their project with adults was more than evident.
I was homeschooled and we homeschool our kids. A lot of this is true if not a bit exaggerated of course. I remember this kid who worked for me saying that homeschooled kids are weird. I told him, when I was growing up, I always thought public school kids were weird.
Weird, usally code word for unique, which is a good thing if public school is just producing goverment worker drones.
I'm a public schooled grandfather home schooling my 10-year-old granddaughter. She has a 139 IQ and reads Tolkien.
Dude, seriously. SAME.
As a 12 year old homeschool kid, I can firmly say, Tolkien is the best! 😂
DAMN. Good for you grandpa.
I first read The Hobbit when I was 15. That was 47 years ago and I've read it and The Lord of the Rings many, many times since then. When our son was born there was no question that we would homeschool. He was assessed when he was four at being on level with 12 year olds in his speech and understanding, and he is also on the autism spectrum. When he was 7 I started reading Tolkien to him. He's 25 now and has explored the lore of Middle earth far beyond what I've ever done. It's been an incredible journey, one that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world. If she doesn't realize it already, your granddaughter will one day understand what a wonderful blessing she's being given!
Good job Grandpa! I can't wait for my homeschoolers to be old enough to read Tolkien!!!!
As a parent who supports his wife homeschooling (and also teaches math after work) I can confirm the benefits of homeschooling. When there’s no agenda other than learning things, the 2 hours of information spread out over 8 hours in public school is hilarious because it’s true!
You get 2 hours of info on a good day in public school, most of it false.
My siblings and I went to public school but our parents denied us access to technology and the internet and other such distractions until jr high, so we grew up without the crippling social anxiety, depression, confusion over sexuality, etc while also getting the benefits of public school (i.e. being able to make lifelong friends and connect with others of our age group).
Reading was also a skill that was considered very important in our family, and while we weren’t reading War & Peace in 2nd grade, my siblings and i did (and still do) have some of the highest reading scores in our grades.
It’s not homeschooling or public schooling that makes the main difference, it’s the way the parents raise the kids.
And this is why I'm homeschooled, also i don't want to wear shoes all day
same. I do school in my pajamas, in bed
I don't do it in pj's 'cause I like opening the curtains and I don't do it in my bed 'cause 1: I will fall asleep instead of doing school and 2: I have a loft bed and I'm too lazy to get all my school from the living-room, but I do lay on the floor while doing my school
As a veteran homeschool mom, I can absolutely agree with this. Shoes only go on our feet when we leave the house.
@@brendag.763 amen
@@brendag.763 Yes, when I put on shoes, the kids always ask where I'm going. 😄
Home-school kids: raised by parents
Public school kids: raised by teachers
(who do you want your kids to spend 8 hours per day, 5 days per week with?)
Bonnie and Audrey from 'Outnumbered the podcast' had a great episode about Christian home-schooling, Bonnie home-schools 10 kids, Audrey home-schools 9, they had some amazing stories.
I have a lot of respect for most teachers, and there's wisdom in a multitude of counsels. The issue is more that teachers are often expected to manage 20 to 30 kids and can't by the nature of classrooms give kids as much individual attention. And really that's fine for part of a kid's day. But we've created mega schools that have kids spending hours in a car or bus instead of having downtime to physically run around. Smaller neighborhood schools which would enable more parents to volunteer and improve adult/child ratios. Or even more Montessori options which would allow kids to progress based on individual ability rather than a standardized lesson plan would help.
There are a few bad eggs. But generally the teachers are not the biggest problem with the public school system. It's over crowded classrooms, state mandates that force teachers to teach to a test (or use substandard material/approaches like common core math), and lack of support for discipline issues and other problems.
Multitude of godly counsels... a Multitude of worldly counsel???
@@AmoebaInk
This not a good set up. Kids should be at home with their parents that won't have 20 - 30 kids to manage and who would love and care for them far more than a teacher. People get excited when they hear about a low student to teacher ratio in a school. What about homeschooling, where that is automatically true.
Public school kids are raised by other kids
Teachers have 6-10 years of child focused education and children of their own. Parents have no education and think Fox News is a Reputable News source.
When I was homeschooled I had agriculture class. I took care of a ton of animals. The oldest one was my personal project. We went hunting for health. I read and memorized the ten amendments, constitution, and the Gettysburg address for history. I use a much larger vocabulary than most people, even in 5th grade. I feel horrible for the kids that this despicable education system has victimized for the sake of propaganda
Homeschool your kids! This is our most important battlefront. 2nd most is the elimination of property taxes, but that's a tougher one.
Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's. For some reason it feels good to tell anti-home schoolers that their public school system is being funded by local home schoolers.
Matthew 22:17-22 KJV
17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
@@believestthouthis7 Yes I want to avoid the dollar and just live a simple life, but doing so would result in the government making me and my children homeless by stealing our home.
@@kinvert
Sad truth that nobody truly "owns" their property in that sense. The best bet is living somewhere with really low property taxes and a low cost of living. It doesn't hurt if the school system is horrible either because those areas tend to have little to no home schooling restrictions.
@@believestthouthis7 Yes property tax is more than just slavery it also abolishes private property ownership.
So called "property taxes" are communism. ☮
Public schooling teaches you good social skills. Such as saying "Oh my god, you were homeschooled? But you seem so normal! Do you have a bunch of anxiety or social issues?" to someone you just met is polite, reasonable and acceptable.
Funny that. It was secondary public school that has taught me how to be an effective asshole. Surprisingly valuable lesson, comes in handy when you're dealing with other assholes.
😂
Not really. Doesn’t jive with introverts. Introverts hate being around crowds since it gives them social anxiety. Public school is top tier for stress and anxiety for anyone that has a perfectionist personality. Will flip out on Grading scale is not perfect and make a scene in whole classroom. (Kid on the ADHD spectrum)
So no.
Those type of kids are best to be homeschooled where parents can handle the kid. Teachers can’t cope with behaviors, let alone deal with over 30 sum students in a class when some students need more attention than others.

Fifteen years of homeschooling and I completely missed out on the paste side hustle. 🤦🏼♀️
Probably because I'm a product of the public school system, but this reads as if your parents made you repeat 2 years of home school. 😂
Now you know why that paste hustle never came to be... 😜
@@evenmoremax2540 Ha! My kids are homeschooled, I too am a product of government schools.
I am reading this as Heather not being homeschooled 15 years but homeschooling for 15 years. She said she missed out on the hustle which means she lost the $$ potential.
Really would have come in handy during this gestapic reign of Pedo BiteMe and his "no inflation" inflation.
It’s true…I was public schooled and did indeed eat the paste!😂😮But the Lord saved me and we homeschooled and Christian schooled when we had kids. The paste didn’t seem to do TOO much damage…
@@heatherjohnson487 I knew I had to be the weak link in the conversation. 19 years of public school (all the way through college) failed me once again! 😆
Homeschool kids can sing the 'Veggietales' theme flawlessly.
Well done showing the extreme absurdity of how people on the opposite ends think of each other. Truth be tokd though, i didn't want my kids to be homeschooled because I didn't want thrm to br rudiculed by other kids and parents. Now ...12 years later, and my kuds have finished school, my wife doing homeschool with our kids was the best decision she we could have made. Im glad she pushed for it, and i trusted her.
You left out that in the sixth grade, public school students read at a second grade level... AT MOST.
Well to be fair NOT IF YOU LIE IN BALTIMORE. 12 high schools - the students could not pass minimum requirements to pass any tests... at any levels.
meanwhile in Forsyth county, the average 10th grader is at college levels in all subjects.
I think that's just a gen alpha issue (which is actually worse now that I think about it)
Public school students learn to read?! That never happens with home schooled kids.
@@davidbeppler3032 I can smell the copium that emanates from you
Homeschool kids: encouraged to build flying RC aircraft from scratch.
Public School Kids: gets into trouble for building a single paper plane.
Our 6 year old homeschooled son, took apart his RC car, and put it back together - and it ran! Paper airplanes were part of our school day - it's a science activity. Thank goodness our open floor plan makes a good area for flying them.
It's so funny. I live in Poland so far from USA and it is so similar here.
When we've decided to homeschool our daughter everyone tried to scare us but it was a good decision. We are learning together, spending interesting time as a family.
Public schoolers have lock-down drills (active shooter), which my fourth grade grandaughter described to me in detail.
Homeschoolers learn how to be responsible gun owners.
Yes. The drills are so scary and you never know for sure if it really is a drill. I'm so glad I'm homeschooled now so I don't have to go through that.
public schoolers fr think we're locked in our parents basement being fed propaganda all while having no social contact at all 🗿
while public schoolers ARE locked in crappy rooms being fed propaganda all the while developing poor social skills
We (my fam) are a public school family and trust me, I don't think you're uneducated propagandists. Unless you sit home all day getting lessons taught by Joy Reid 😁
@@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805As a home school mom who was sent to the public indoctrination camps for 12 years, I can confirm this.

That whole "socially adjusted by public school" concept is a crock of shite. It teaches kids to be afraid of crowds is all.

I took my daughter for a tour of the local fire station last week and all the firefighters' kids were also homeschooled.
Homeschool kids get to sleep in, as long as their teacher does.
Public school kids have to wake up at like 1:35am so they can wait for the bus for 37 hours.
As someone who was both homeschooled and went to public school, I can confirm that most kids are actually weird.
As a Homeschooled 10th grader right now I can say that the part about backyard chickens is true. Also
Homeschool kids learn to build things from scratch while public school kids cant set up a Ikea table if there life depended on it 🤣🤣🤣
Some homeschool kids even learn grammar, punctuation and spelling.
yes but who has time for that@@tc6818
Homeschooling here! And yes I'm strongly thinking about those chickens in my backyard! 🤣
@@tc6818some... I went to college... and???
your gonna wanna work on this
I homeschooled my child, after in 1st grade private school, he was so frustrated that no own would let him read harder books?!?
As my students 'lead learner,' we learned the LOVE of learning, how and where to learn, tool that will last a lifetime!
Thank you Classical Conversations! Homeschooling is NOT for the weak, but HE makes you strong! (Jesus)
As someone who was both home schooled and public schooled, I can vouch for this 100%
public schools really do stretch out 2 hours of lessons into a full day and then send kids home with even more to do
“Pew pew pew!” Suddenly the kids learn about Black Helicopters, Black SUVs, the Alphabet agencies . . . and seeing their classmates handcuffed. How cool is THAT?
pew pew pew ...
We homeschooled our kids up until high school. Thought the sports programs were a good option. Our kids tested 2 years above the public schoolers when they first went. It was a smaller town school so we didn’t have the gang and drug problems to deal with. Home schooling was a great thing for all of us.
Home school:
Designed to create self reliant adults who create value for themselves and others
Compulsory State Indoctrination Camp:
Designed to make a dumbed-down, complaint, easy manageable citizenry.
Home school students wake up every morning to do their school work; public school students are just always "woke."
Haha, this one made me laugh so hard!
Home school students receive no education, and no social skills. They are "asleep" and racist.
Huh?
Pfft, not true. I never woke up in the morning to do my work. I always slept till noon and then waited until my mom was thirty minutes from getting home from work to start my homework!
Generalize people and show us how ignorant you home schooled are please.what a shallow statement this is and very insulting.You must of had a education on insulting others by spouting such hatred.You are not making a good case for being home schooled, sorry😮
Homeschooling: The adult/ parent has authority on what happens.
Public schools: The leaders of whatever gang is dominant in that particular school have authority on what happens, with the teachers and administrators too chicken to stand up to them out of fear of being either beaten up, stabbed, or (Worst of all to them) being openly accused of "Racial profiling" on social media.
I like the one about homeschooling kids learning to be critical thinkers and public school kids learning to be critical of thinkers.
As a father of 4 homeschooled kids, I approve this message.
I homeschooled my children… best decision ever!
We homeschooled our kids. The world was their classroom!
Oh I love the satire of Babylon’s Bee 😂😂😂
As a public school teacher, the kinda accusations thrown at us for what we teach students are WILD. The satire here feels all too real.
They need to make an edition with private school kids. We exist too!
I have experience with public and private school and personally I didn't see a difference. Same shenanigans.
I am a homeschooler, and I approve this message.
My daughter went to public school at age 14...only because she had exceeded my capacity to teach her. She took a lot of college course credits IN high school, graduated 10th in the whole school, top 15 percent in the state/country, went on to get a biochemistry degree and landed a microbiology job right after graduation and is working towards med school.
Love all the hilarious comments comparing public vs homeschooled kids. Just as funny, and true in many ways, as the video itself.
The “full day packed into two hours vs. two hours packed into a full day” was the best one
Less bullying at home school.
Unless you have siblings haha
@@TheMinecraftOtterOfficialLOL
No mass shootings
Less but not zero.
@@PurePuritan speak for yourself. We have Nerf wars everyday in this house
Home school kids: Normal physically.

Homeschooled kids only end up weird when their parents are weird, w/ public school even if the parents are fine the environment could make the kids dumb
Government/public school isn’t normal. It has been common in recent times. But normal? Even at its best it is still a social construct that needed to be invented in order to exist at all.
wow
My wife and I have been homeschooling our 3 children for 5 years, since we personally witnessed the downhill decline of the public school system. Our children (10, 12, 13) are amazing and they are still children, enjoying their childhood. They have plenty of time to become an adult, though very strong, mature, and intelligent grownups. Oh... it was a sacrifice of our time, work, and money etc., but are children are worth it.
My mom homeschooled me & my 7 siblings for 20+ years. Zero regrets. 🙌🏻
Homeschool kids understand basic math while public school kids demand $15 minimum wage and then complain a fast food burger costs $20.
I make $15 and I can rent an apartment and pay all my bills on time
And they can’t make change to boot.
@@austinyoung9875 Good on you! Both my Gen Z kids are doing just fine too!

I was home schooled and took a whole day to do school work my sibling could do in 2 hours. But at least I wasn't put on psycho drugs because I was lazy and a procrastinator.
Do you have ADD?
@@pintsizestories196 Maybe, ADD is a little ambiguous in it's definition. I can focus, just not well on things I don't have an interest in. Subjects that required a lot of memorization were harder. Felt like I was overloading my brain with more info then it could take in at once. (If I didn't have an interest.) Math I was good in since it was more active processing then memorization. Or maybe I just found it interesting.
It was tough seeing other people being able easily do things that I seemingly couldn't, but I could accept those limitations if it meant otherwise I'd have to take mind altering and potentially suicide inducing drugs to overcome them.
We homeschooled our four children. Three have graduated. I have two children who had similar learning as you've described. That was one of the blessings of being able to homeschool them. They could go at their own speed and we could adapt their schooling to their unique learning abilities.
Each child has their own strengths and weaknesses. Schooling might come hard but there are other areas where they shine. One is not better than the other😊
This is the reason I homeschooled initially. We could go at the pace of the child.
That gun comment is way off! Our local range is closed on Tuesdays!
If you live in the country, every day can be range day!
This is so relatable. I was homeschooled and grew up on a small farm of goats and chickens too. I actually don't mind being homeschooled.
Homeschool kids: Tuesday's are range day with dad
Public schoolkids: Everywhere is the range and everyone is a target
(but not when I was in public school)
As a home school mom, my kid has been at a college reading level since 4th grade and it DOES take about 2 hours to do what public school forgets to do: actual lessons.
I formulate my own curriculum based on the required subjects and various materials and books that I research.
Many home school moms resort to pre-planned online content...but that's just as lazy as sending to school if you ask me.
Get. Involved. With. Your. Kids.
Good for you, I agree and did the same. Now all 6 of my homeschooled kids are successful, happy adults with families of their own❤ I miss the days of teaching my children but now I get to help with grandchildren .
Personally I use a bit of both, I have an online curriculum that I use, but I alter it to fit my kids needs
Please kindly keep in mind that homeschooling 4th grade isn't anywhere near the same as middle school or highschool grades
I'm curious if you are teaching your child about the Lord and the Bible? I would say that that is the most important thing in the end. The purpose of the early US education system was to teach people to read so that they could read the Bible.
There is no shame in using curriculum that has already been organized, especially as a starting point. Most parents will discover more about a child's needs and interests as they go and add supplements.
Isaiah 54:13 KJV - And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Proverbs 9:10 KJV - The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Online courses are good for older children when the subject requires more depth and that takes more of professional to teach such as organic chemistry, advanced calculus, advanced physics, etc
Home schooled kids learn to socialize with all ages of children as well as adults and elderly people. Its amazing.
I taught my children at home, it was more like 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, the 5th day was catch up on anything and for field trips or Library day.
As a former homeschooled kid and current homeschooling mom I approve this message.😄
Homeschooling may be better but I have public school friends and I feel sorry for people who have to go to public school because their family needs two pay checks.
Probably cos the parents went to public school and were told all their needs would be taken care of...
@@TheRealJimW Maybe... but then again. Sometimes the parent(s) only option is public school or no education at all. And no matter how much I hate public school, the little education it gives would be better than nothing.
It's also a self-perpetuating issue. The money spent on daycare, various home services, school tuition (if the kid goes to a private school), etc... tends to be very close to the amount which the second spouse earns. Not always, if a dentist marries a CPA, then they'll make way more when they both work (although money certainly isn't everything). Usually, one or both members of the couple will work in something like retail or food service (if an office job, commission-based sales is likely). There's absolutely nothing wrong with those fields, but usually the take-home pay from the second paycheck will be rather close to the additional expenses produced by getting the second paycheck. If one spouse has seasonal work (lawn care business on the side or something), it also changes things.
There's also a question of the standard of living. If it's a question of having two paychecks or being homeless (especially with rent these days), that's one thing. Sometimes the question is whether or not people are willing to drive cars which aren't very nice (running dependably, but not stylish), not wear the latest fashions, and not take fancy vacations (this is a surprisingly big one, many people are willing to have a much lower standard of living 51 weeks out of the year to take a nice trip for 1 of those weeks).
All because of fmnsm
The homeschool kids' families "need" two paychecks too but we just sacrifice and make it work.
As much as I understand this is satire, there is so much truth to it as well.
Nothing like being forced by law to be in prison all day to be bullied and learn nothing of mportance. Granted not a chance my mom would've ever home schooled, sometimes it's a no win.
Our daughter turned 4 in March of 2020. 70/30 on homeschooling in Feb 2020 C0Vid 19 sealed the deal. Not sending my daughter to school 😷 in a face diaper.
After K. Before 1st grade she was at 3rd grade reading level.
Public school (locally) 2nd graders are at 1st grade reading level.
So glad we made the right choice. Might even skip 4th grade after we get all Language Arts (Nouns/pronouns straight.) Sentence structure & solid foundation laid next year. She loves any book series right now. We are in the middle of two, just for fun times after school hours.
