Why Public School is Better Than Homeschool


Got your attention? lol

Relax and enjoy a good laugh as you read through this funny written by Scott Ott of http://www.scrappleface.com/ .

Top Ten Reasons Why Public School is Better than Homeschool

  1. Most parents were educated in the underfunded public school system, and so are not smart enough to homeschool their own children.

  2. Children who receive one-on-one homeschooling will learn more than others, giving them an unfair advantage in the marketplace. This is undemocratic.

  3. How can children learn to defend themselves unless they have to fight off bullies on a daily basis?

  4. Ridicule from other children is important to the socialization process.

  5. Children in public schools can get more practice "Just Saying No" to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol.

  6. Fluorescent lighting may have significant health benefits.

  7. Publicly asking permission to go to the bathroom teaches young people their place in society.

  8. The fashion industry depends upon the peer pressure that only public schools can generate.

  9. Public schools foster cultural literacy, passing on important traditions like the singing of "Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg..."

  10. Homeschooled children may not learn important office career skills,like how to sit still for six hours straight.

Hi :)
I saw your comment on my Cbox about MFW Blogroll and I will try to work on getting the comment area to work again :) My blog has a comment turn-off after so many days so I'm sorry for the confusion.

If you could leave me a comment (@MFW) on a recent entry of my blog with your email address, I will be able to return the email with the coding information for the graphic :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
