That has nothing to do with homeschooling.Jelly wrote:To what extent should children be 'sheltered' from the secular culture?

You are my hero Anna><>. The only time evolution was ever mentioned in my school life was a few years ago. I spent about 1 class period on it. My teacher didn't believe in it, most people know it is a theory meaning it hasn't been proven so it isn't true. And the only class we really talk about religion in is government, my teacher asked once, most of the time she just wants to know if there are any muslims so she can ask them about their faith in realtion to the news artical someone picks for current events. Though there arn't any in my class. Public schools tend to try to leave religion and other things that people may find offensive out of the classroooms so no one get's offended or wants to find a reason to sue the school.Anna><> wrote:The whole thing about evolution in public schools is extremely overrated. I think that in biology we spent maybe 3 classes total talking about evolution per year. It's not focused on AT ALL in the schools here. It's not like you're being bombarded with atheism all the time in school
It also depends what kind of family the person has, I have been in private school before, and all of us were of the same faith, I led a very sheltered life for most of my years which I am very thankful for. Depending on how good the public school is can depened on what kind of influences you have and what kind of people you will meet. There are 3 or 4 highschools north of where I live that people don't want to go to because of bad things, so they transfer in for the magnet program. Depending on family life and enviornment can influence on what kind of person you will become or choose to become.Jesus' Princess wrote:Now, I'm not saying that this is the normal reaction to students educated in the public school system, or that it's evil or anything like that, all I'm saying is that when a child (or by this time, young adult) goes out in the world, away from their parents, and has been around bad influences six hours a day, five days a week, and thirty six weeks a year for 12 years, they might handle things differently than someone who spent the majority of their time as a child being taught by their parents. Again, I'm not trying to bash public school or anything, just speaking from what I see around here. Also, the schools around here are really bad, there's one high school that is downright unsafe, so yeah.
Dude. Play sports or something.Whitty Whit wrote:Well, it may be like that in your school, Anna, but other schools may be worse. xD I like the education I get by homeschooling. Like KF, the biggest problem is very little social interaction. I really want to hang out with people. I just can't... cuz' I'm homeschooled... It's a toss up between better education (than I would receive in a Christian/public school) and social interaction. I would think that better education is...better because if one is homeschooled all of his life and has very little social interaction and if that one goes to college, he will have more social interaction. So in the long run, I think homeschooling is still better. Does any of this make sense?

I'd say right now that the main reason I'm doing what I'm doing is because of the ginormous waste of time that is public school. School from 6-3, then homework from 3-9? Is that really necessary?

Even in my public college we only spent less than 5 minutes on evolution in biology class. In organic chemistry my teacher always emphasizes that these things we study are just theories all the time.Whitty Whit wrote:Well, it may be like that in your school, Anna, but other schools may be worse. xD I like the education I get by homeschooling.
