Aspies For Freedom

It doesn't matter for me how messed up the education system is, because I'm in a Charter School that doesn't have to listen to the Board ^_^. Also I'm in Canada.

Every time i hear it i cringe, i always wonder how someone's parent is going to be competent enough in all the different subjects that are usually taught.

It's not a matter of being "competent enough", it's a matter of being less incompetent than the government-hired teachers. In general, homeschooled children do better on standardized tests than do government-educated children in the USA. Likewise, homeschoolers are not a group of isolates who communicate with nobody. There are large networks of homeschoolers here.

Lucky you. In the USA, government-run schools are often the worst possible schools in an area.

I can't vote on this poll - My answer is "it depends". Many on here know what I think about how hard it is to get a school to wrok properly for a kid who is a differnt learner or that I am against the whole middle school idea - not natural. Many schools do okay but the size of the school I think matter a lot. There is an old homeschool thread on here that talks baout alot of this - I found it to be very interesting.... as usual ATM had great posts... and I think I was first introdiced to dogbrain on that thread.... Also I realize this topic/thread/poll is very old as is Dogbrain posts here - but also very good!

Anyone posting on here - recently/currently - in a school system that is "screwing you" now? or doing something right? What grade? What state?

Well, this was ages a go, really. [Btw, NSW, Aussie here.]

When I got bullied[... For YEARS, I might add], all the administration did was give the bullies a theoretical slap-on-the-wrist. *scowls* Argh. Yeah, going to put the smackdown on schoolyard bullying my @$$.

*tirades*

Hmm. That stands out most... but I know they did more wrong, too. I just don't feel like remembering it... *sighs* Mehh.
