re: #157 Mich-again

Oh its an absolutely horrible idea. Can you imagine what the USA would be like if every single kid stayed home all day and just went to school on the computer without the daily interaction and socialization of going to school and to recess with other kids?

So its a bad idea if every kid does it. But for some inexplicable reason its a good idea if some kids do it? What a crock of BS. I can’t think of a worse idea for the USA than to have kids sit at home all day and go to school at a website. But this is what the RW and the GOP and the Tea Party are pimping right now.

You undescored why I am not that high on homeschooling too. I think our schools are where we learn how to socialize with our peers. I took a couple online courses in college and man I hated it. Just hated it. Nothing beat human interaction.
