      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter But the home schooling option merely encourages anti-intellectual, anti-social clan mentality & invites other ills.

      @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter Not necessarily. It isn't without risk, but better that than teaching a kid that humans rode dinosaurs!

      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter Sure...if I *HAD* to live in a backwater fiefdom, yes I'd probably home school. But it invites xenophobia.

      @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter It depends on the learning environment created by parent and how she compensates for lack of social setting.

      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter Recreating the typical school melting pot is a tall order, not to mention the movement away from parental supervisn

      @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter You are right, recreating the same is impossible. But is that school environment really necessary?

      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter I'm not sure what you mean; is it NOT important that the cultural microcosm of schools prepare kids for society?

      @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter It's important that kids are prepared, but it doesn't necessarily have to be done by traditional methods.

      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter To me "non traditional" always sounds like people making a show of bucking the system, whether it's good or not.

      @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter How many problems were created by sticking with traditional ways, and how many fixed by non traditional ways?

      @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter I don't see kids spending time at school together to learn and bond as 'traditional'. That's just common sense.

          @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter Probably only a dozen hours per week at school serve that purpose. You can get those hours outside school, too

          @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter I think this overlooks important developmental/behavioral aspects. Anyway, this thread is getting long.

          @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter Not much of the time spent at school is spent socializing. Recess and team activities, mostly.

          @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter Would you say kids bonding at homeschooling association events for kids is traditional?

          @Gomba13 @BillyMcWhirter Unless those homeschooling events are several hours a day each day, I'd say it was insufficient.

          @emlynaddison @BillyMcWhirter About two hours per day sounds right to me. It is realistic, and it is being practiced.
