Since you want to be a member of this place, Okay, I'll give you a
typical hello you can expect to get he

Went to your blog and read a bit. I just about puked.
WTF do you think ur doing UNSCHOOLING your children?
By your own words they "...learn... by asking questions." And doing
things???!
When I taught second grade I had a couple of those poor kids. They
couldnt write, couldnt read, and had now idea how to solve math
problems. You are doing your children a GRAVE injustice which I would
call abuse or neglect at the least. How do you expect them to be
successful. You have just condemned them to a life of academic failure
and most likely personal/social failure too. Oh, I guess they can do
what mom is doing.......... Live by doin a bunch of guys. What is that
old
saying, your just one man away from welfare.

Give them a break and PUT THEM IN SCHOOL.............. ANY SCHOOL!

Besides that will give you more time to shove tofu up your self
indulgent, egocentric (careless of the feelings of others) ass and
play groovy chick with your poly boyfriends.

What's a poly ?

BTW I agree Bob, they need an education. Not much use navigating if
they can not read a chart and do a bit of math.. Then again, we need
someone to run the needle guns and flip burgers.

Have you turned into a moron lately, Joe? You say they need an
"education" as if an education was something you could actually receive
in public schools. Stop for a moment and think how public schools have
very little to do with education nowadays. They're all about a
bureaucracy whereby incompetent teachers and administrators make large
salaries and do no educating. Rather, their jobs have become
indoctrinating young minds into the socialist agenda.

Any children on a cruising yacht, with whom their parents spend two
hours a day teaching them the three R's, will be more highly educated
than the mind-numbed retards the public school system produces. And
combine that real education with the interaction they have with
different cultures and they will be far better human beings. The only
problem I foresee is if the woman does all the teaching. The man should
do the lion's share of it.

Woooooowww now. Any parent IMO can provide a better education, and
aboard a boat traveling the world will be the best. But the parents
have to as you state teach the the three R's, or better yet home
school teaching all the required courses that they can get a diploma
and move on to higher education if they so desire.

I agree 100% and hope the parents take the time and effort required.

And
combine that real education with the interaction they have with
different cultures and they will be far better human beings.

Indeed, the best education on earth, but in most cases not good
enough to land many rewarding careers. And unless the kids are super
smart and able to forge thier own path to success, not having a degree
will stymie them.

I think both could add value.

Dear Wilbur,

Im gonna have ta call bull**** on most ya said about public schools.
But I can only talk about Oregon public schools. But that don't seem
to stop you from yakking out ur ass.

Kids in Oregon public schools get an adequate education IF the parents
do their part. Kids gotta be ready to learn and sometime that don't
happen for all em. So who gets the blame when kid cant seem to learn?
1) the K-3 student for not knowing enough to be ready to learn.
2) the parent for not knowing 6 hours sleep for an 8 year old and
sugar for breakfast aint such a good idea.
3) The school for having 35 second grade students for one teacher
cause there's not enough money for more teachers. Oh, pay the teachers
less. That's a good idea cause they all make $100,000 per year. One-
two-three...... eyes on me Wilbur. My paychecks per month my first year
teaching 2001-02 school year take home was $1730. Why did I quit
teaching kids? Cause I never worked for so hard for so little in my
life. My family came first. So I quit.

But let me tell you. The kids in my class learned,,,,,,, or at least
the ones who were able to. Why were some not ready and able to learn.
Well 84% of the kids were so poor they qualified for free lunch.
Poverty makes for some pretty ignorant people. So yes, send the poly
hole's little ****s to public school (in Oregon) and they'll get a
damn decent education.

Or send them to a religious home schooler and when the kids want to go
to grad school they can answer all the questions on the GRE with , "It
is Gods will......"

In summary Willburr, how many hours have you actually spent in a
school classroom in the last 10 years?

Oh, I forgot you are were a teacher....or no uhhh, a Principal! Ya,
that's it a Principal. That's the ticket a Principal, yaaa .

Based on the forty years, or so, I have lived outside the U.S. I'd say
that any interaction between American kids and local kids is minimal,
nearly nonexistent in fact. True, I know of one or two cases where
the families lived in a remote areas of town where there were no other
foreigners and the 5 year old played with the local kids and picked up
Japanese in a few months, but that was extremely rare.

Most foreign families outside the US live in foreign enclaves,
associate only with other foreigners, shop only in stores selling
foreign goods and the local culture has little or no effect on them.

I have also seen innumerable "home schooled" kids on yachts and I'd
guess that as far as the three R's go they are equal to kids educated
in America however few of them get much of any grounding in the
sciences or higher math.

I think if I had children young enough to go to school I'd be happy to
see them home schooled until about the age of 10-12 when I'd prefer to
have them in a formal school system.

Few of any age have much in the way of either science or higher math.
If they haven't got it they can't teach it. And few seem to value
those things.

My neighbor, the fuel polisher, raised and home taught 5 kids on a
39' custom sailboat in Mexico. They moved ashore when the kids were high
school age. The last one entered college this year with $19,000 in
scholarships. The others are in or graduated from college.

BTW, the fuel polisher also does deliveries and is delivering a new
112' Westport yacht to San Diego! What a boat! No shoes allowed on
board! Completely computerized. Cruises between 18 and 22 with a top of
almost 30. $9 million and you to can have one.
