That is one of my favorite movies.
Brawndo-the Thirst Mutilator, it’s got what plants crave, it has electrolytes.
It really is turning into a documentary.

I don’t see it as sheltering your kids. They can learn about that stuff when they’re in the 7th grade on up like I did. I dont know that it would happen here, but elementary school children are too young to be learning about homosexuality and whatever the other sexuals there are out there. And now you have kids coming to school at the elementary school level claiming to be the opposite gender. I had never even heard of that until years down the road. At that age all we talked about was who was better? NWO Wolfpack or the NWO black and white. Lol And nascar

Yes but that transgender and learning about sexuality stuff is coming from TV/social media more than anywhere else. People who homeschool had better darn sure make these options unavailable to their kids. My wife has taught every elementary grade, and in liberal Lexington, and she does not teach sexuality stuff of any type. However, she has to deal with it coming to school from home all the time. I was from a strong Christian household, poor, didn’t have much compared to a lot of kids, always in church, and I cussed like crazy around my friends, even as a kid in the late 70s and 80s. My little girl is exposed to tons of stuff, even in our neighborhood, garbage on TV, social media, and yet she’ll yell, “Change it, inappropriate!” When excessive cussing or a make out scene comes on TV. She’s been a Lexington public school student since Kindergarten. I honestly don’t think you’re gonna keep them from being exposed from much these days. It’s more about them making the right decisions….even as a kid. I do think people should educate their children any way they want. I’m just saying most private or homeschool kids that I’ve dealt with simply aren’t “better kids” because of their schooling, more because of the way they are raised and the influence of their parents. 70%, maybe higher, of the kids I’ve seen go from public to private/homeschool is because they are always in trouble in school or the parents have gotten into trouble over their poor attendance. This is a sad and the wrong reason to homeschool and unfortunately the kid will end up paying for it eventually.

“It’s what plants crave!”
“Welcome to Cosco-I love you!”
Thought it was hilarious in my youth but tried watching it a few years back and it didn’t have the same punch. Ha

Cash, so she’s happy. Makes more than she would at either of her other jobs which pay $12 an hour.
We home schooled all three of ours. It has allowed us to hunt and travel extensively while they were young. Well, admittedly, the wife handled the bulk of it, but I weighed in when it came to English and History. We started with an accredited program out of Florida. When the kids were young, they were part of a homeschool group that met twice a week for socialization and group learning.
As they got older, we switched over to a homeschool program offered through our public county school system. That gave them a public school transcript and access to all public school functions. They got to participate in graduation, dances, etc. The program was, I think, originally designed for dropout risks, but they enjoyed having traditional homeschoolers participate because it brought the GPA for the overall program way up.
It has worked well. Two of the kids are now in college, the oldest with one degree and working on another. The youngest has decided to go the trade school route and will start in the spring.
If both the parents and kids have the discipline to stick with it, its a good way to go. But definitely go with an accredited program. The kids will have to take the same standardized tests that public and private school kids do to continue their education.

My son and his fiancé are wanting to homeschool his son. She was homeschooled till high school I feel she is a little different. Also my grandson loves being around other kids. I want him to go to school I’ll handle all the liberal bs.

I think the lesson I’m getting here is do what you feel is best for your kids.

I can see that from the posts there are good sides to homeschoooling, I’ve just based my opinion on the home school kids I’ve been around growing up and as an adult. Most of them were lacking in social development or have obvious gaps in their education.
My niece is incredibly book smart, her husband, let’s just say there’s a reason he wears slip on boots. And their collective thought process just by the things they say and do just leave me wondering if that’s the next generation raising kids how are the kids going to turn out?

What I was thinking. With what everyone says the cost of daycare is and throw some homeschooling tutelage on top of it.....garuantee there is a strong market for it.

Im laughing at the slip on boot joke, good one bud.
Yea I have a couple family members who were home schooled and they are odd as $3 bills..Uneducated as well but they are prime examples of the wrong way to do it. I dont hold them indicative of all home schooling just a precautionary tale that it has to be done correctly and with seriousness.

Ive never met a homeschooled person who is a normal acting citizen in group functions. Its wild.
I see a lot of grandparents that have custody of their grandchildren.
That may not be a bad thing because most older parents don't put up with boys wearing girls' clothes or boys dating boys or girls dating other girls.
When I was a kid a boy darn well didn't wear anything that looked like girl clothes. Pink shirt would get you beat up for sure.
