This reminds of of my friend who says, LOOK AT JOHN MAYER! LOOK AT WHAT HE DID! But for every successful one, there’s a million losers. This was a TERRIBLE argument. Because for every successful homeschooled person, there’s 999 creeps. And yes, most home schooled kids are just off somehow. How are you gonna justify a kid not going through and socializing with kids their age? Your social skills are dominantly influenced by one male 30 years older, one female 30 years older, and a family cat that probably runs away when you walk toward it during shower time? It is just downright creepy and that’s why most homeschooled people are creeps.
No social skills
Yea
@@sparrcrow4411 the opportunities for social interaction between all ages outside of public school is practically limitless. I was a homeschooler and I couldn't even keep track of all the people that I interacted with throughout a given week.
Also sorry I keep throwing around unfinished replies. I can't seem to get ahold of the commenting process as simple as it is.
I started getting homeschooled in the 3rd grade. Thanksgiving in 7th grade my father got diagnosed with cancer and at the beginning of summer after 11th grade he passed away. Even though I missed out on a lot of things, thanks to homeschooling I got a LOT more time with him than if I had been in regular school and I am so thankful for that ❤
My sincere condolences for your father.
Oh, honey. I'm so very sorry about your dad. Praying for you and your family. ❤
But you’re ignoring the fact that not every parent has the time, patience or aptitude to teach.
No, but they can learn as well. Most homeschool curriculums are preset as it is. 100% of school curriculums are preset as well. I think we’ve all had our fair share of teachers who couldn’t even actually TEACH the material and would just hand out worksheets. It’s not as difficult as it seems. The opportunity is what’s hard to come by since so many parents need to work outside the home to support their families.
Priorities
Not every person marries the right partner. A partnership involves dual effort to make sure they both achieve the life they want.
No, she's not, because that's not the argument she's making. Just because not every family can homeschool doesn't negate, invalidate or even argue against a single thing she said.
if they weren't ready to raise their child correctly they should have waited to have a kid
I was homeschooled since the first grade, entered college at 16, and am now in medical school. Through the entire time, my mother always taught me to love to learn. Looking back now, I cherish the time that we had together, and I am so grateful to have that opportunity both to be with family and to learn as much as I did.
Ha! Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
@@onehandednedned6673
No...not at all.
Homeschooling is the very best way💯💯💯
Hey OP, you must be Asian.
That's awesome!
OMG I'm not schooled but when I was 5 I drop out since first grade as well but now I entered to 10 grade lol I wish I shouldnt
The problem I have with my mom… is anytime I hang out or talk to her I get yelled at. So I choose to stay away. 😂
Not sure why that’s funny
@@joelj7279 coping mechanism to the trauma
Might wanna find the root of that. Is it because you are genuinely difficult, or if it because she has her own issues that need addressing? For the sake of a healthy, loving, and long term relationship with your mother, you definitely should ask yourself why she's always yelling at you, and then try to fix it!
Have you ever sat down with her and had a serious talk with her? It might help. There's clearly a problem here. Hope the best for you❤
Same, can't hold a conversation. Tried to talk and bond, ended in a lecture 🤣🤣
If you’re not counting any time spent caring for the child, you’re discounting pretty much all of the time. Meaningful bonding happens during regular caretaking too…
Thats true
The thing is, that time dwindles rapidly the older they get.
Something as simple as watching a movie or a game together, is probably just as important. Something that you can interact with them over: gardening, cooking, chess etc
THIS! My son and I constantly bond during otherwise meaningless things. He helps me cook, he helps me clean, he and I play together during bath time, we make mundane tasks fun with music and laughter.
I have to remind myself this daily
I was going to say the same thing it feels disregarding to the amount of time I spend as a mob doing things for my child to say that all of the things that she does with me while I am simultaneously doing things for her is not time spent.
Actually you shouldn't ignore bathing and all the other tasks around careing for your child. These moments of care are what makes you bond, these are the moments a child learns: my parent cares for my needs and helps me get them fulfilled. This is more important than any word, any conversation could be, this makes a child experience that it's seen, that it's loved, that it's protected and cared for!
👍
Did you even listen ? Of course not.
Yeah but as a teenager you don’t take a bath with your mom, so you don’t really bond during those moments.
@@leludallasmultipass what do you think I overheard?
@@lenagrande3255 that's true, as a teenager you and your parents are hopefully building up on the foundation you formed when you were a small child.
And still, these moments of giving care are often seen as an unwelcome duty, rather than crucial opportunitys to bond.
My aunt homeschooled her kids and unfortunately it was a disservice to their education and social aptitude. She wasn’t prepared to give that level of teaching
yes but that's why what i did, regular homeschooling through elementary, and then in middle school doing a combination of online schools and co-ops was so much better. still spent much less time doing school than the average public/private schooler, but was getting a rigorous education from home. also my classes were almost entirely honors or ap classes, so i was still getting a quality education
Definitely depends on the situation and if the parent is up to the task.
That’s one bad example lol. Obviously not every parent is fit for that.
@jingle balls yup, but when they're not up to the task it gets bad fast...
The schooling plan for my eventual kids is still tbd, but I personally feel like I could do it; I was a few semesters away from finishing a teaching degree when I decided to step away from schooling for multiple reasons and teaching has been a passion of mine for most of my life.
I have also seen it fail big time with my siblings, and my husband feels he missed quite a bit due to his homeschool experience.
Definitely depends on the preparation and dedication of the one doing the teaching/raising.
Most people aren’t.
As somebody who was homeschooled due to disability, but was also in person schooled for all but 4 years I would pick public school everyday. The friendships I built through public school meant more to me then anything. I was still able to do a sport that required 5 hours of practice a day, have a great relationship with my father (so good infact my mom was jealous of it)
That's valid, however, the traditional way of homeschooling, and the way that's most commonly done now, is to be a part of a homeschool group/community, where you work with other homeschoolers and learn subjects in a class. My homeschool group has about 200 families enrolled, and I see my friends from that at least twice a week, and our friendships are one of the most precious things to me. The rest of the week, I'm socializing with my other friends from other activities, or with adults and kids I don't know at places I'll spend time with my parents, like museums, playgrounds, shops, toy stores, or volunteering to help with the homeless, like delivering food to their house or serving at a shelter.
I agree, my deepest friendships that have lasted into my 15 years of adulthood are the ones I gained from my homeschooling groups not when I went to public school. But each person has their own story and homeschooling isn’t for everyone.
Hell nah. Maybe I just despised the social aspect of face-to-face learning, but I HATED SCHOOL WITH A PASSION TILL I WAS HOMESCHOOLED!!
True, honestly, if I was public schooled if probably be less depressed, but I'd be far more anxious, and I am glad I am homeschooled, it works for me, if I had to do public school I doubt I'd get anything done, atleast with homeschooling I don't have to interact with anyone, I can just sit down and get it done, no worrying about anything, and I always know what my grades are, and how much more I gotta do till I'm done, i can finish school whenever for the year if I set my mind to it, it's nice, and it's less pressure, I don't have to be worried about being humiliated if I fail something, instead if i fail something I can do it over and over again untill I understand how to get the answer, like with math
Everyone learns differently, I do better homeschooled, you do better public schooled, and that's perfectly fine
the thought of homeschooling terrifies me. when covid came around i was thrilled to stay at home all day, but at this point public school is the only thing that makes my life as interesting as it is. i would rather die than ever be homeschooled.
I went to public school and learned to harden up because of that. My mom was fresh off a divorce and doing everything herself, I usually didn’t see her until at least 8pm and then it was mostly dinner, get my ass into homework and then bed. I knew though she had my back and really was the only one to show me love and attention. Now older and all the experiences I’ve had, what we sacrificed in time together I know get to shower her with it because she’s always been there for me. 37 years old and let me tell you, the best part of my day is getting to see her and hear about her day.
I'm the only one there for my son but he remembers his dad fondly because his dad never is there to tell him to do anything he doesn't want to do or to get on his nerves. His dad was a cheater, sociopath, lazy, who turned trans.
You had a good mom, and you're a great person for appreciating her. A lot of homeschooled parents act like parents who put their kids in public school don't love their kids, when in reality, it's sometimes the better choice or they have no other option. It's good for a parent to know their limitations rather than do something that might make things harder for them and their kid for the sake of their ego, because they want to prove to themselves that they can "do it all". A truly good parent is someone who puts their ego aside to ask for help or aid so their kid can have a better life. A busy mom wouldn't be able to properly keep up with their kids' homeschool curriculum and help them the same way.
As others have said, as long as you socialize, hangout with those around your age, do other activities that interest you, you would do fine in homeschooling. I did homeschooling and I didn't do any of those. I was too focused on my studies, my program had deadlines, I eventually felt a burnout.
I'm so sorry that was your experience.
@@brandicook910 aww thanks 😊
But in the end it was my choice and my circumstances. I shy away from socializing although I do try to come out of my bubble. I do not have a passion in anything and all I'm really good at and is "important" to me is school. The reason I did homeschooling was to graduate early. Also, the way I studied was terrible and is still terrible. I literally take notes of every word 😅
socialization is key!! my cousin is an only child and he’s homeschooled. although he is extremely smart, his social skills are nonexistent.
Yeah as someone who does homeschool since the start of 2020 and has barely done activities with people, ye u can get burnt out
@@lavenderlesboMaybe find out if there are any other homeschooled kids in your area and he can hang out with them, or find an extra curriculum thing for him that involves interacting with other kids
I literally, physically supported the school system for 7 years, volunteering in the office and in classrooms, but each year was worse than the year before. My kids were bored, and bullied, including by teachers. When it got to the point my 11-year-old was so depressed he was planning his suicide, I pulled my kids out of school and homeschooled them. It was against the law in our state at that time, and some parents actually faced legal charges. Homeschooling was a huge financial and career sacrifice, but absolutely worth it.
I was told that my kids would not be accepted to college & that I was ruining their lives.
But each of my 3 kids was accepted to their first choice of top-rated colleges, and got great scholarships. It was definitely a career sacrifice for me, but well worth it. I will never regret it.
However, it's a sad reflection on our education system.
I just need to say when my mom said she is was proud of the grown-up I became, I burst in tears, I wish more parents would say it. She always told me she is proud even when there wasn't a reason, but that just really hit the spot.
For me it was when my GF’s parents called me the “perfect guy”. I felt like all of the efforts by my mother and father were justified in that moment
It's a good point, but it's also a huge privilege to be able to be homeschooled (assuming you have good competent parents), because most families are already struggling on a dual income household. It's also worth mentioning that *most* parents are probably not competent enough. I think everybody can agree that there's a lot of... useless parents, so to speak.
Also important to get that social experience that public schools provide you, as I think most will agree that homeschooled kids have a tendency to be quite sheltered people. Obviously not all are like this, and there are some great people who were homeschooled, but I think they're the exception and not the norm.
The "social experience" that public school provides is entirely the problem. Homeschooling provides students with MUCH wider options for socialization leading to higher emotional, intellectual and spiritual maturity.
this is what my husband and i were afraid of, because we were basically cutting our income in half when i became a fulltime parent. but, we’ve found that since i can stay at home, i have more time to be intentional with the money we have; i make more food at home, i have time to go to the grocery store on days when they have deals, we save on childcare of course, and there’s things i can do on the side that don’t require me to work fulltime but allow us a little extra income.
so, yes, it’s hard, kids are expensive and life is expensive, but if you are determined to make it work you will. we’re very comfortable on one income and we may not be the richest people in the world, we can still afford food on the table, we can still save money for retirement and future investments, and we are much happy with me being home . personally, i would much rather be at home knowing my child is getting a good education rather than being a bit richer.
Struggling on dual income is a choice, me and the wife have made it work on one for years. The government made divorce so common and incentivized uncontrolled spending because congress doesn’t understand what a budget is.
@@bernadettesandoval3990 you say that but most of the homeschool kids I’ve seen are mentally deficient or socially inept chronically online kids. Homeschool for conservatives is just so they can infect their kids minds with their own beliefs.
@@bernadettesandoval3990 not true, homeschooled kids are often so socially deprived they act almost autistic
"She's the one that raised me, not a teacher" what a line
Yeah, but having multiple adults giving you different perspectives on topics is a positive. I lose it when I hear a parent say “my teachers kid told them x, can you believe that!?” Yes. I can. Other people don’t believe what you believe, and if you can’t give a retort to your child as to why what the teacher told them is wrong, or at least WHY you disagree, maybe you should evaluate the belief that you hold.
@@lucascofell4680 Your real for this. She trying to make it seem like that's a negative
@@neighborgoods7624
It is a negative. A parent should be able to veto any teacher who doesn’t project/respect/protect the values of that family. Because that ability is almost never the case for parents, protecting their kids from the teachers is urgent.
@@timopper5488 That was not was I referring to my friend. I was referring to Lucas.
@@timopper5488 If you think learning about multiple viewpoints and perspectives is a negative than you have an issue if that's not what you are saying than idk.
i recently switched to being homeschooled and yes, it’s so much better for all of these reasons
As a 15 year old I can say that is so true. Thanks to my mom I'm graduating very soon, and I'm also in a lot of sports and have a lot of freedom. I'm very thankful that she didn't keep me in public school.
Are you single?
Why does that even matter?
I am happy for you! However, unfortunately not everyone (including me) can function well homeschooling. I am supper excited to go to an actual school soon.
I'm getting homeschooled next year and I'm so excited! I am the national chess champion of my age, but have been struggling to reach something at an international level because i lack time. I don't have many friends in school, but I've met tons of awesome people in chess, so my social life won't be hurt a lot
I think it depends on your parent as it can make it difficult to perform in exams and damage your attention span coming from someone homeschooled until 14
I work in a library and im surprised by amount homeschooled kids. They come in to the library to borrow materials. And they seem behave kids and like to talk to us.
I went to a regular school until the 7th grade then my mom pulled me out and started homeschooling me til I graduated and thank God she did. Honestly reflecting on it now it didn’t matter what my mom said or taught me when going to regular school she had little influence on me thus why I didn’t speak properly or even know how to speak properly I was getting depressed and horribly anxious I wasn’t learning or progressing as I should have. I thought I was nothing a useless nobody who wouldn’t be able to do anything worthwhile in life something was wrong with me and everyone around me only confirmed that teachers and students. That’s not how a 10 to 12 year old should feel or think. When we started homeschooling I absolutely flourished I learned more than I ever have before and remembered it I still remember the things I learned while homeschooling now that I’m in college when I can’t even remember last semester already. Homeschooling saved me and allowed me to grow as who I am as my own unique individual person and not in the box regular schools and society wanted me to be
In the US, Homeschooling also helps your kids to not get shot down
That’s true, but only with regards to school shootings. Very unfortunately, our kids are at risk of being shot down at church, or at Walmart, or at a concert, or at the movies, or in the grocery store, or at the mall, or at a birthday party, or at home. Can’t exactly keep kids away from ALL of these “soft targets” and only ever allow them to travel while inside tanks, while simultaneously making it easier and easier to buy, carry, and use firearms with fewer and fewer restrictions.
@@KatySueWho that's...grim
Thank you so much for posting this vid. Homeschoolers are often looked down on and I'm so happy that someone is sticking up for the homeschooled community so thank you ❤
❤ Yes, this is exactly why I homeschool my daughter. She is doing amazing and loves to read like nothing I've seen before. My kid will absolutely be an educated force to be reckoned with. I refuse to let the educational system break her spirit like they tired with me just because we learn differently. I'm forever baffled that educating our youth isn't a top priority in this country.
I am a public school kid and I have a deep meaningful relationship with my parents. I go to school everyday, then work right after that and I still find time to spend with my parents. No one needs to be homeschooled to have a relationship with their parents. They just have to be willing to work for that relationship.
I LOVED homeschool life! I had clubs I was involved in for spending time with friends, I could learn at my own pace, had more time to do other skill activities, we went on “field trips” family trips all the time.
That is wonderful! Many adult children are estranging their parents, especially moms. We need young people who still respect and value their parents.
A lot of these kids had abusive parents, that's why they estrange.
Being homeschooled in a loving and supportive home is one of the biggest privileges in our society. Maybe it's just me, but someone who got to grow up like that really has no right to judge the rest of us. This honestly makes more sense now. I didn't realize she had such a blessed life. You can't expect others to see the world they way you do when such a small amount of other people have had your kinds of experiences. She would benefit from some empathy towards people who weren't as lucky....
A blessed life? You do realize that her dad left their family, one of her brothers died suddenly when he was still in school, and she has another brother who has had mental health problems, tried to kill himself multiple times, and has been diagnosed with schizophrenia? What about all of that is easy and privileged? If by privileged you mean that her mom loved her enough to make sacrifices, then yes, she was privileged.
How is she judging anyone?? Sounds like you’re projecting tbh
OK so now that I know Brett did homeschooling, it makes a lot more sense to me now that someone her age can actually think instead of just following the mob lol.
Yes girl! Thanks! I'm homeschooling our large family now, it is so much hard work, but I get to raise them. Love hearing it from a former homeschool kid!
Good for you! We homeschool our large family also. I wouldn't change it for the world!
Traditional school also teaches children to stay put and only care about work but you need to take care of yourself mentally and you need time for yourself.
I don’t know what kind of school you went to, but no school has ever taught me that
@@caitlyngreene4474my kids school have medical and mental health checks every semester.
They also have outreach and extra help for troubled kids.
They care very much.
Well unfortunately nowadays, both parents have to work in order to provide for the families. But as long as you socialize with others, the better you are.
Neither things you said are true
No they don't. We've been homeschooling for years, and only my husband works. For some it may be true that 2 incomes are necessary, but not for most.
@@AS-yz2iz you’re right, after daycare and other expenses often the family saves money by bringing the wife home
@@AS-yz2iz just because your husband can afford you staying home with ur kids doesn’t mean that a lot of families can do that as well. it’s tough out there. ur very privileged to be able to stay home.
@@aubreycarach2512 I said that not all families can do it, but most can. There is no falsehood in that statement. And I'm very grateful that we were able to do that, but it came with a LOT of sacrifices. Totally worth it though.
Homeschooling me was one of the best parts of how my parents raised my siblings, and I.
Homeschooling is the best decision our family has ever made.
Oh Hell no.
My parents have little patience with me. School was my escape, I always threatened them if they beat me up I will tell the teachers. So that is one way I stop the abuse.
Homeschool works for some, and Vice versa. The education system here in general doesn’t make justice children education.
Although homeschooling can be very good for students with loving parents and students that still have social skills, it seems like such a clever way to hide abuse. Usually when you are being abused, teachers, counselors, or neighbors realize what is going on. But when abusive parents keep their kids in the house 24/7, nobody can find out..
For everyone on here: there are a hundred different ways to homeschool!! Most homeschool days look nothing like a public school and that makes it so much easier on the parents and kids
There is a lot of sacrifice that has to be made with homeschooling, but it is 100% worth it. I wouldn’t trade it for anything on earth. So many unforeseen blessings have come from it.
I am a 14 year old girl and I went to a public elementary school but was homeschooled in middle school for a number of reasons. While being homeschooled I would start class at 8:00 am and be done by noon and that gave me so much time to find activities that I enjoyed and to learn new skills. I learned to knit and crochet, I started playing d&d, I read a ton of classic literature, and I'm just so glad my parents homeschooled me because I was feeling some major burnout while in public school. Leaving at 6 am and not getting home until 5pm was taking a major toll on me because I had no time for anything other than school. Extracurriculars weren't even an option because that would mean getting home even later and not having time to do homework. Our public school system is failing and it makes me nervous for when this generation becomes adults.
Oh I also crochet ( I haven't quite figured out knitting), I like to crochet little animals for my neices. I also recently took up embroidery it's a pretty fun hobby. I was homeschooled until highschool and am currently in college to become a nurse. Good luck with all your endeavors in life.
Started home schooling this year. Best decision ever and it might make me live a little longer!
I just want to say this. I am homeschooled and have been homeschooled sense this November.
The pros usually beat the cons and the bonding time is amazing, and the freedom and less stress it is great. The biggest con to Homeschool is socialization to the public. But nonetheless, I did sports and socialized with friends and sometimes would activities in the evening and hangout with friends and it’s great.
To those of you who say “oh my parents don’t have time”. My mom would work from 2:30-6:00. She would stay at home, for a few hours and help us slightly with our work (I am digital / online school) and she’d go to work. My mom and my dad picked it up very quickly what their supposed todo and same with me. And I’d like to say that some of you, that genuinely don’t have experience with it cant say that much u less you try it! 🤷♂️
My wife started homeschooling our oldest(9) this year. He loves it because he generally wakes up 5:30-6 and can just start doing his reading, poetry, and language studies. Rarely, if he tries, does it take him past 10am to finish his day's work. Then he can ride his bike to the park, there's a gamestore where he looks at Pokémon card, or sometimes he comes and works with me as a carpenter.
I was homeschooled from day one till I graduated. Can confirm, I was very blessed and would not have it any other way. The freedom to get your school done early in the day and get outside and work on the farm or hang out with friends for me was unbeatable. I was 1 of 5 and all of us were homeschooled and were doing very well in life. You also don’t have the pure pressure or bad influences that comes with public schooling
Love this! Question?
I am staring to homeschool my child this upcoming fall, my question is how do you keep records of your homeschooling for the future? Like for college?
@@lifesabeauty111 you don’t need to until high school or so
@@lifesabeauty111 the first thing you need to do is recognize that home school is not “public school at home”
I love the relationship I have with my son. I know homeschooling afforded us the opportunity to really know each other well. Miss him like crazy when he’s at college, but couldn’t be prouder.
I am homeschooling, and I absolutely love it!! I would never ever want to go to public school. But the main problem is that being around family so much can get crazy, and it is not always what I need. So I'm so grateful to have the privilege to be at dance for 12+ hours a week, or doing other activities such as hanging out with friends or family, and I have that ability because I have so much free time being homeschooled!! I didn't know Brett was a homeschooler too, that makes me so happy 😊✨
Wild to me she assumes that day-to-day stuff like bathing kids, making dinner, eating together are not important bonding moments.
Right? 😵💫
Brett is a perfect example of why homeschooling works. Brilliant, articulate, personable, entertaining, and gorgeous to boot.
The bad thing about this is that if you start homeschooling kids young and do it for a while they will find it hard to make friends a have more variety when they try to either in or out of actual public school when they decide to move their kid to public school
Homeschooling is the way to go if you can.
Whenever I try talking to my dad he says "not now, I'm busy, I have a headache"
Her parents did a phenomenal job raising her. I wish I was able to homeschool my kids.
No you don't
You are able, you just choose not to. I live in a house of four and my dad is the only one who works. My mom stopped working to homeschool me and my brother. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Don't expect people to feel bad for you when you have a choice and choose to not make it
@Cora Mountaingale funny I didn't know you know me or my situation. Good for your mom that she can and even better that your dad is a good man and provides for you family so your mom is able too. Unfortunately we're not all that blessed.
@@caleighloganmusicwell they obviously failed to teach u empathy
@Phyllis Zirfas I have no empathy for the lazy and stubborn. I understand that there are exceptions, but the majority of people COULD homeschool, and just don't want to give up the luxuries. You're right, they didn't "Teach" me to be empathetic, they taught me to be just. And they taught me to have honor and work hard.
I'm getting more and more convinced that home schooling is going to be best for my baby. He is only 1 year old, but has benefitted so much from having me, his Dad, and grandparents around. Also, he goes to baby gym and I play music for him. I think these things are invaluable for his development.
All of our children were educated in public school, and all three are now in college and doing well. They made many friends through the extra curricular activities, and frankly, we believe that the socialization process helped prepare them for the college life.
Thank you for this. I’m going to spend time with my parents more now❤️
My youngest son finished his entire week's work online in approximately 20 minutes. He was supposed to be in a very advanced program, but the subjects were 3y behind what he'd already learned by his then 6th grade year. He was bored, and lacked outside socialization. So I sent him back to public school. Then dedicated way more than 35m a day to spend with my kids.
She is not wrong when you start giving your family a chance you will see that even if there is some friction they love you more than any one they will be there through high and lows. They can be the best escape from your pains
Got to love cherry picked stats. 35 minutes is enough to wake them send them to school then send them to bed once they get back. Also if my mother taught me I'd believe that crystals have special powers and i can tell fortunes
Children need more time with their parents that wake up and go to school and go to bed. Also, you would still have your own free will. Homeschoolers don't just magically share all their parents beliefs
@@pioneerprepper2048 sorry my point was not clear I meant parents spend more than 35 minutes with their kids on average even if they attend a school.
@@lg6707 yes. But the point of this is that the 35 minutes is actual time spent with the child not doing dinner, clean up or getting ready
I am homeschooled. I end up being around my parents at the very least 14hours a week talking. And I'm at my dad's office the entire day, so if I need help, or need anything he's there. I'm also happier, than all the people I've seen. I still hate school, it's just easier. It is so much freedom. I have so much time to just breathe and do what I want. Ofc I have a deadline, but it's not 2weeks. It's a few months
This is so good. I was homeschooled and it was the BEST way to grow up and learn. If you're thinking of homeschooling your children, it's a beautiful thing.
If that works for a parent/parents then it is a good option. It is also a good idea to put children into clubs so that they can make friends and sometimes you may need to introduce your children to other children yourself because introverted children won't form those bonds on their own or it will take them a long time.
- a social life, and social development
Those things can be developed through homeschool groups. As she mentioned, she took gymnastics, and she volunteered. So, there are opportunities to interact with others your own age.
I homeschooled my son and he was involved in Little League baseball, a youth soccer league and his church group.
What's your point?
I wish I could be closer to my dad but it’s hard when he finds something to fight about every time I try to uphold a conversation
We should pay parents to stay home with kids.
In a voucher system, any parent could start an independent homeschool and pay themselves the voucher as tuition
@@bernadettesandoval3990i’m curious how does that work?? i live in california & have my psa (private school affidavit) to be able to homeschool. i’m also disabled which is why i can homeschool him. but even then school materials & curriculum isn’t cheap, i don’t go through a charter or anything just me, books & the internet. i do get a lot from thrift stores but it still adds up. thank you
Or just give them a tax rebate since they don't use the public school system.
I have never been homeschooled and I am literally my moms best friend and spend most of my day with her if we are not counting school but even then it’s not school that seems to be taking the time away, I’ve also never had social media that I’m obsessed with posting on 24/7, that I feel the need to or people will think I died, I believe no mom knows their child as much as mine does from my friends to my emotion problems, you don’t need to be homeschooled to have a long talk or a good relationship, you just need to know that your parents are ready to talk and if they are not then they aren’t, it may be bad but it’s true, some parents just don’t parent but if they do then they will listen and they will love to talk with you like your best friend, that’s how I see it
Ohhh she was home schooled
Everything makes so much sense now
Brett's is absolutely right. All my friends with home schooled children are worlds apart from public schooled children.
They became real people. Not the programed zombies being produced today. Just look around. I wondered why Brett always seemed so level headed... Now I know.
Best wishes to you and your family Brett.
I pulled my daughter out of school when she was in 7th grade. I had her with me all of the time. best time of my life.
I’ll say this. As someone who was homeschooled from Kindergarten all the way to the end of 8th grade, yes, it does have its advantages. But I’ll also say that I had no friends and was often considered the odd one out because of the fact that I was homeschooled, and therefore, not like the other kids. Homeschooling can also lead to fights and tension between the parents and the kids. It was only after I started going to a public high school that that tension started to dissipate between my parents and I. Plus, homeschooling doesn’t really allow the kid to discover who they are. Public schools are a lot better for that. I know that’s not necessarily what this video was about, but I just wanted to say that.
I don't know how I feel about this...There's a big social aspect to public school that I think is very beneficial, and regardless of bullying being wrong I also think that conflict with other people to an extent can also serve a good purpose in toughening up a child for a world that doesn't care about their feelings....But on the other hand I am 23 years old, and my mother told me a month ago that she doesn't feel like she really even knows who I am...And it wasn't in a malicious way, it's was just the honest truth. I personally keep a lot of who I am away from my parents because there are a lot of values that I have that I KNOW they definitely don't...and our relationship is rocky as it is rn. I worry if I really showed them who I am that they would be ashamed of me, or feel like it was some sort of personal attack...I'm not gonna say it's a bad thing that my values differ from theirs, or that they would have been different had I been homeschooled...But maybe I'd have a better understanding of how they'd react if we spent more time together early on...Because that would have left me less and less opportunities to hide it all...Idk.
I wish I was homeschooled. If I was, my innocence wouldn't be taken away at a young age.
This girl. 😍 smart, beautiful, family orientated, shares difficult, sometimes unpopular opinions. You’re appreciated.
When she shares what she loves. Shes moving. I hope she stays in this direction of guidance ❤
This. I was a working mom with my first and then switched to being a homeschooling mom. I had a ridiculously long commute, esp in MN winters, and I grew sick of not having that time together. That and my child needed frequent and intensive speech therapy and the open time slots after work are few and far between. I knew it would only become less time together as he got older and would want to be in activities too... Plus I'm a stickler for kids getting the amount of sleep their brain actually needs at night so that decreases time available.
I also didn't know about studies like the Quebec Canadian daycare one where hours spent in daycare was a predictor of bad behavior (esp for boys) in kids whose families were middle class or higher. Kids who didn't have healthy relationships at home or lower class families did better in daycare.
A lot of it comes down to bonding. Kids need to bond with adults, rather than learn from peers but most of the time in classrooms they bond with peers bc the teacher student ratio has more than a handful of kids paired with a teacher. This is why they're absorbing culture based on what media and hibbies and such are cool amongst their peers, rather than family culture and traditions. (Family immigrated here generations ago and I have zero Polish, German, Irish or English traditions 🤷🏻♀️. I'm sure that will be true of current immigrants kids in a generation or two.)
As a teen, I still ho on walks with my parents, I go to the gym with them, I go on trips with them. Even though I do a lot with them, I still do a lot with my friends. There needs to be a balance, because one day, your parents will be gone and you’ll regret the times that you never made time for them.
Seeing this makes me happy as a homeschooling mother of 2
I was homeschooled 5th-12th. Now that I’m a parent I can acknowledge my kid is way too much like me. We already don’t mesh well when it comes to structured learning. 😂 I will be enrolling him in a private school. It will be the best option for our family. I’d absolutely love to homeschool him, so it’s hard to know that it shouldn’t be our first choice.
Homeschooling is great in some optics but it lacks socializing. Not in the way like having no friends but breaking out your comfort zone, learning new ideologies and culture differences etc. It prepairs children more for the world. Half half is the best in my personal optic if he parent is in state to teach.
Glad it worked out for you though and gave you such an amazing relation with your parents! :)
I just spent an hour betting money on blackjack with my stepdad. Now that's what you call bonding
Amen! I am so thankful that we are homeschooling our daughter. I love the time we spend as a family, learning together with her. This is a true Blessing! Dawn 😊✝️🇺🇸
It’s also important to socialize so you should probably be in a sports team or something to
I’m 13 and I still sit in my dad recliner with him bc he loves me
You can’t convince me this isn’t Ben Shapiro with a wig
Homeschooling is amazing when you have good parents if your excuse is you don't have the time or money then step back and look at you're priorities
35 mins a day. Girl both my parents were full time working parents and they always made time for me. Anything after 5 o clock was family time.
I feel so lucky and blessed to have such a good relationship with my family and mother. I don't know what i would do without them and genuinely enjoy spending time with them and go out of my way to. It's so unfortunate that some children have parents who treat them poorly or don't know how to love properly and God forbid the abuse some have to go through.
That's why I'm so happy I was homeschooled and will be schooling my 3 kiddos
You did have to finish classes by a certain period. You had 9 months. But even with that being said the point Brett is making rn is very valid. Being someone who went to public school all my life I honestly cannot recall most of the things we learned bc a lot of teachers weren’t motivated enough to take time and sit down with one kid when they had 100+ students to look after as well. On top of that I never really saw my parents/family since I went to school 8:30-4:30 and then would get home around 5 bc of busses and stuff and when we sat down to eat dinner it was like 30 minutes and then we all kinda just went out own separate ways for the remaining of the day. I’m not seriously considering homeschooling my kids for a vast majority of their lives. Maybe not all bc I do still think it’s good for kids to have that “normal” life like attending a normal high school. But I would have to keep close eye on the teachings and curriculum and really be part of the PTA because kids are still pretty easy to brainwash even as high schoolers
I homeschooling my youngest and i get to spend so much more time with him than i did with my older children. We love it.
Yess homeschool bestie
thats a perfect way to explain the benefits. I wrote a compare and contrast essay for my writing co-op class and its homeschooling vs public schooling and i got lots my info from my old friends bc ive only been to a private school or homeschooled, but they are always on about how terrible it is.. I love school... its sad they can't find joy in it bc of where they go
so cool to hear a voice as young as yours in this space vouching for homeschooling and saying its awesome. you're so well-spoken too it's exciting to see the influence you have. Thanks for the content xx
I am crying ❤❤❤❤what she sees as benefits of homeschooling andbhiw she values her family ❤❤❤❤amazing❤❤❤❤
The problem with this is some parents don’t have the time for homeschooling. It takes two jobs to sustain a house so more than likely both parents are working. It sounds so simple to do but only if you have the funds. I love Brett cooper and she is right but it shows her disconnect from common people that are living paycheck to paycheck.
Omg! I spent more than 8 hours A day with my kids. Plus their sleeping time. Also worked 40 hours a week. We worked opposite shifts so we never had daycare or sitters. My kids are amazing adults, all in their 40’s doing the same with their children.
"I'm not in school until 3:00 pm" imagine us french when we are at school until 6:00 and even 7:00 pm sometimes not even having the time to talk about your day to your parents because you have to eat , shower , do homeworks (at least 2 to 3 hours btw) and then go immediately to bed because the next day you do the same shit and you must wake up at 6:00 am. This school system is upsetting considering you do that for 18 years and even more when you do superior classes , our childhood has been robbed.
I genuinely spend around 10 minutes a day, after I eat dinner alone I go sit outside with them where they tell me they are too tired to talk to me :/ I know they care about me but it just really hurts and it's really isolating, especially during summer break.
Not every parent has this option. I am glad it worked for you, just as school works for other kids.
I am homeschooled and my Mom is literally my best friend! I have more memories than I can count with my family because of my parents choosing to homeschool us since we were little and I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️
Homeschooling isn’t always better as some one who homeschooled until 4th grade and then again for a semester in 7th grade I had fun as a kid but I got depression as a teenage when I homeschooled in 7th. Some people really need the social interaction from a school including me.
This is awesome! I didn’t know she was homeschooled! My little boy is about to enter kindergarten and we just got him signed up for to be homeschooled this week! We’re very excited for many of the reasons listed here and more!
My parents are hardcore liberals, while I have more conservative beliefs. All they do is talk about politics when I’m around, and saying how my beliefs don’t make sense. It’s really hard to talk with and interact with them because of this. All they care about is politics and shame me for thinking anything different. I want to get closer with them but it’s really hard and the tension between us is getting really intense.
I've been feeling so guilty about starting kindergarten homeschool for my only son. I definitely needed to hear this😅. He will be going to "real" school next year
There are also lots of resources to make home schooling easier for those intimidated. Socialization can be achieved through friend groups, neighborhoods, hobby groups, religious groups, etc. I was home schooled my entire life, and throughout it, i out performed a lot of public schoolers, and often had stronger principles and character.
Socialization is a double edged sword. Can teach a kid good things and also teach them bad things.
I’m close to my parents. We always do movie nights. We don’t have to talk but there’s laughs and screams and it’s so fun for teens
