Sounds like a certain Ronbot poster at a now-defunct site who claimed shopping at the grocery store with her kids qualified as homeschooling.

Ain't that right, zeit?

Creative writing too. :lmao:

I found what I was looking for...sorta.

This chick is priceless.  Oh, and google her name and stand by to punch your monitor.  What a ****ing tool.  This is where your tax money is going, people.

Maybe we should start government farms and substitute that for foodstamps. You would required to fill some job there. Plowing, planting, weeding, picking, shelling, cooking, canning....there is bound to be some type of job even the most disabled could do.

I bet a lot of people would discover they didn't need foodstamps (government help) afterall.

We personally know a family that subsisted on government assistance until both parents got heavy enough to qualify for disability.  (As though that is somehow different? but whatever)  After that, they pulled all their kids out of public school and began to "homeschool."  One kid is my daughter's friend, she mentions little tidbits like, "Dad says were going to start having math classes next year for sure," and "We walk to the library (only the kids, of course) and write down all the book titles on certain subjects for our English classes," or "We did Home Ec all day yesterday, that's why I couldn't meet my friends at the park."  Of course, I asked her what they did for Home Ec, hoping it was something like planning a meal, shopping for groceries, cooking/baking, etc.  Nope, the kids spent the entire day cleaning house, washing dishes and doing laundry.  Now, there is absolutely nothing wrong with teaching your kids how to do these things and having them do chores!! But picking up after Mom and Dad and doing their work is NOT a Home Ec class...it's a way for Mom and Dad to continue to pack on pounds while the kids do all the necessary labor. 


That is terrible, MrsSmith.  Stories like that color the reputation of people like my parents, who went through the trouble of home schooling four of us siblings for most of our school years. 

That being said, you have to stop and ask yourself if they are learning anymore there than they would be learning in public school.  :-)
