Why our family home-schools our kids... reason #892

[LJ_Reloaded]

#1 At one public school down in Texas, a 12-year-old girl named Sarah Bustamantes was recently arrested for spraying herself with perfume.

#2 A 13-year-old student at a school in Albuquerque, New Mexico was recently arrested by police for burping in class.

#3 Another student down in Albuquerque was forced to strip down to his underwear while five adults watched because he had $200 in his pocket. The student was never formally charged with doing anything wrong.

#4 A security guard at one school in California broke the arm of a 16-year-old girl because she left some crumbs on the floor after cleaning up some cake that she had spilled.

#5 One teenage couple down in Houston poured milk on each other during a squabble while they were breaking up. Instead of being sent to see the principal, they were arrested and sent to court.

#6 In early 2010, a 12-year-old girl at a school in Forest Hills, New York was arrested by police and marched out of her school in handcuffs just because she doodled on her desk. “I love my friends Abby and Faith” was what she reportedly scribbled on her desk.

#7 A 6-year-old girl down in Florida was handcuffed and sent to a mental facility after throwing temper tantrums at her elementary school.

#8 One student down in Texas was reportedly arrested by police for throwing paper airplanes in class.

#9 A 17-year-old honor student in North Carolina named Ashley Smithwick accidentally took her father’s lunch with her to school. It contained a small paring knife which he would use to slice up apples. So what happened to this standout student when the school discovered this? The school suspended her for the rest of the year and the police charged her with a misdemeanor.

#10 In Allentown, Pennsylvania a 14-year-old girl was tasered in the groin area by a school security officer even though she had put up her hands in the air to surrender.

#11 Down in Florida, an 11-year-old student was arrested, thrown in jail and charged with a third-degree felony for bringing a plastic butter knife to school.

#12 Back in 2009, an 8-year-old boy in Massachusetts was sent home from school and was forced to undergo a psychological evaluation because he drew a picture of Jesus on the cross.

#13 A police officer in San Mateo, California blasted a 7-year-old special education student in the face with pepper spray because he would not quit climbing on the furniture.

#14 In America today, even 5-year-old children are treated brutally by police. The following is from a recent article that described what happened to one very young student in Stockton, California a while back….

"Earlier this year, a Stockton student was handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery on a police officer. That student was 5 years old".

#15 At one school in Connecticut, a 17-year-old boy was thrown to the floor and tasered five times because he was yelling at a cafeteria worker.

#16 A teenager in suburban Dallas was forced to take on a part-time job after being ticketed for using foul language in one high school classroom. The original ticket was for $340, but additional fees have raised the total bill to $637.

#17 A few months ago, police were called out when a little girl kissed a little boy during a physical education class at an elementary school down in Florida.

#18 A 6-year-old boy was recently charged with sexual battery for some “inappropriate touching” during a game of tag at one elementary school in the San Francisco area.

#19 In Massachusetts, police were recently sent out to collect an overdue library book from a 5-year-old girl.

The BEST thing a parent could do for their child is to take them out of the Government Run Public Schools!

 

[Bry1313]

Or get yourself involved in how the schools are run. My kids go to a fantastic school, and aren't separated from the world.

 

[john415]

So you are raising them to be shit dick stains as well
Great

 

[pointless]

which one is reason 892? i'm only seeing one through nineteen.

 

[Bry1313]

which one is reason 892? i'm only seeing one through nineteen.

He isn't teaching counting at his school.

 

[Queersetti]

Reason # 893: limit exposure to mandated reporters.

 

[julybaby04]

Or get yourself involved in how the schools are run. My kids go to a fantastic school, and aren't separated from the world.

That is great to hear that your children are part of a wonderful school!

Sadly, that is not always the case, not matter how involved the parents are.

 

[pointless]

heh.

[eyer]

Or get yourself involved in how the schools are run. My kids go to a fantastic school, and aren't separated from the world.

And no doubt your U.S. Representative and U.S. Senators are "fantastic", too, right...

...'cause it's usually always the other guy's schools and Congresspeople who are the problem(s).

BTW:

Would you care to officially identify your political stance?

I've been reading you as a progressive/socialist all along, and your hyperbolic "separated from the world" above simply reenforces that...

...but, I also understand how sensitive progressives/socialists are about being labeled for exactly what they are. So, if you, too, would rather just maintain you don't have any "official" political stance instead of overtly standing for what you are, I'll fully understand.

 

[badbabysitter]

reason #894.... less exposure to different ideas that would end up showing you as a crackpot

 

[pointless]

and a c&per like you. funny how that works.

 

[Skiddles2014]

You home-school because you can't afford public school.

 

[DesEsseintes]

Your list gives multiple examples of why one should not co-operate with the police, who in these cases as so often seem to take joy in going far beyond their remit. I fail to see in what way the schools are at fault. No school has the power to arrest a student.

So the lessons to be learned are:

1) send your child to a proper school;
2) Campaign to abolish the police.

 

[sereneone4u]

Or get yourself involved in how the schools are run. My kids go to a fantastic school, and aren't separated from the world.

My child is home schooled and she is not separated from the world.

She is more involved in the world than my children that went to public school.

 

[RjThoughts]

Cuz they want them to learn that when the Army beat the savage pagan Injuns, it was a glorious vicotry, and when them God-less abominations defeated the Christian soldiers, it was a massacre.

And they don't want the kiddos to learn any of that liberal, Pinko thinking seeping into their brains, like Washington NFL tam name is racist, or the Cleveland Indians' "Chief Wahoo" is a shit-stain racist caricature either.

i swear to god i'm the only sober and sane person here most days.

What did the schools say about these situations?

 

[RjThoughts]

i swear to god i'm the only sober and sane person here most days.

Don't take my sarcasm for drunkenness, though it is cheaper and doesn't cause a hangover

Are you using the Fox News definition of a socialist?

My Congressman is pretty invisible and my Senators are unremarkable.

 

[pointless]

What did the schools say about these situations?

nothing. he stole the entire post from a ron paul message board.

 

[Bry1313]

My child is home schooled and she is not separated from the world.

She is more involved in the world than my children that went to public school.

How are you ensuring your children are exposed to a different world view and people from different backgrounds than your own?

I'm genuinely curious, that isn't easy.

 

[sereneone4u]

How are you ensuring your children are exposed to a different world view and people from different backgrounds than your own?

I'm genuinely curious, that isn't easy.

We have co-op on Monday and in the program she is taught about other religions, belief systems, etc. She is taught to think. Now I did pick a Christian based co-op and I teach her my beliefs but I also pick out curriculum that speaks of other thoughts and I expound upon what she is learning by going to the library, field trips, meeting and talking to people from various walks of life and so forth.

And respectfully, what makes you think schools expose kids to these things? Schools teach what is politically correct and have an agenda.

The school of thought that I teach my daughter works on memorization of certain facts and expanding that knowledge and then in the higher grades they have to be able to defend certain positions based on the knowledge they have gained. It teaches them to think and know and I think it is a great program.

Now nothing is perfect mind you and I am not saying that.

 

[eyer]

No...

...ask anyone here: I use my very own definitions of things.

So, sorry to pop the usual partisan balloon...

...but your reply was a pretty lame deflection attempt, anyway.

Thus...

...I shall simply stay with my initial perception, almost positive that you'll never offer anything to this Board to disprove it, as I also acknowledge you not having the simple fortitude to stand upright on your actual political identity because you imagine it provides you more meaningful opportunities to troll.

Hey, not that there's anything wrong with that...

...after all, you are among many like-minded equals here in that regard.

And if at 18, they'd told you they were becoming Buddhists, because of what they'd seen in the world, you'd be cool with that?

You are outside the public school system, how do you know they are only teaching what's PC?

BTW, your teaching methods are very similar to the core curriculum at our school.
