I too am afraid of public school for my child. I have been looking into and saving for private ones. Montessori type school seems to be decent but not all are equal. Do lots of research and start saving now.

I would rather my child go to a catholic private school and just remind him to ignore any religion/politics and get a decent education.

If for whatever reason he ends up going to public I hope to have him ahead of the rest and already know or have a good foundation of the curriculum before he even starts it. Also to teach him to ignore most if not all politics and separate that from what he is supposed to learn (eng, sci, ma, history etc.)

Kids need to be around other kids.
Saw this first hand recently. Home schooled guy at my job. Was told that he was super awkward and didn't talk to anyone for awhile. Gradually came out of his shell and was a good worker for a bit. Then socialized more w/some crummier young employees. Finally fired because he didn't seem to respect management and kept messing around on his phone even when he was running a cash register and had people in line waiting to be checked out.

So I guess the socialization part got better overall, but he was very easily influenced by others and maybe his parents didn't have very firm boundaries/expectations.

Not the only guy in that age group with a strange attitude around working; angry/resentful when assigned tasks and "you can't tell me what to do".

Um, it's a job and completing assigned tasks is why you are getting paid. If your manager "can't tell you what to do" then you aren't really employable.

That one is important.

Good schools in a moderate/conservative area and elementary school is still probably fine. Let them get in that socialization and learn the basics.

Then boys or girls private [probably religious] middles school for those hormone crazy years.

High school age seems easiest for home schooling or self-directed learning. Maybe a tutor or college prep if they really want to go to college. Otherwise may as well let them explore areas of interest and try working at different things to figure out what they want to do.

Private or public but not home schooled. My ex landlord schooled their kids and it was clear as day she wasn't well socialized. Plus that would be boring af to just stay at home and learn from there. Kids already hated lockdown enough, to do that chit for years but learn from your parents or a tutor, fuk that.

Lol used to know this home schooled kid in my neighborhood as a kid and it was quite sad

Would always see him playing football with his dad or whatever in the field

And im thinking like brah just go to school..meet some friends , date some girls


Don't understand the home school mentality
Yes I know public school is a melting pot of kids from a wide range of social economic backgrounds but why shelter them from it ? Lol sometimes its a learning experience in itself

Never quite knew what became of the kid

No weird lib theories are taught

Playing sports is for sure a lower level but more fun at the same time

Pros:

If you're a weirdo you can find other weirdos to be friends with

Cons:

Even though their were 10x as many people as private school the groups that hung out together were much smaller

You have to deal with the dregs of society


The result:

Private school is so much better its not even really a contest. It all starts at home and private school kids all have parents that at least pretend to give a chit about them. I've know several other people who've been to both and all except one person and the only reason she hated private school is because she was shunned after she got pregnant by a mid 20s unemployed loser. I will say if you have trouble getting along with people public might be the better option but if you make friends easily you will enjoy private school 1000000x more

Him and his brother went on a 2 week bender and used ropes and pullies to put their 4 wheelers 20 feet up in oak trees cause they thought someone was gonna steal them lol.

Whether you send your kids to public, private, or even home school them, you have to drill values into their heads and educate them about clown world.

Anytime man. I've had a bunch of people ask me about this IRL and I tell them the same thing. As long as your kid doesn't have trouble making friends send them to private. If you can't afford private find a rural public school where there are no more than 100 kids in each grade. I did fine at a large public school but that's mainly because I stood out since I always had the top grades in my class and was one of 2 white kids in my grade who made the basketball team. I took all honors classes which put me in classes with only 2 or 3 other males and the rest being attractive chicks. If you're at the top of the social hierarchy you'll do fine at both but personally I prefer private for the reasons I mentioned, if you're somewhere in the middle private all day every day and if you're at the bottom public would probably be better

Looking to move and having to think about school districts since son will likely go to public school. Dont want to live in one of the smaller neighboring towns, so either got the big city district with more inner city kids, or the more uppity district where its mostly wealthy snobs competing and probably trying to make your kids life and yours hell if you dont join the bake sale. Want my kids in sports too and I used to hate the uppity district. Loved beating those asshles

sounds like the most feasible option is to keep on top of what they are teaching your kids in school and instill your values into them and be the most influential figure in their lives.


also i've heard a few instances but it's probably not so common, especially in cities. parents with children basically coming together for group home schooling. I.e one day of the week one parent teaches, another day another parent teaches. Would take some of the obvious time constraints out of it, plus nail down the socialization aspect.

obviously would be hard to coordinate, let alone finding parents willing to do this, would involve a lot of trust with other parents who hold same views that you do, etc.

we had a different experience then. I went to both myself. Besides being forced to go to "mass" and being taught by nuns in some classes, there wasnt much of a difference.

And my private school vetted us and we had to score high on tests in order to get accepted.

There aren't nearly as many Catholic schools around where I live as there are Protestant but every single one of the Catholic schools has a more "liberal rich kid" reputation. I've never been to a Catholic school though so I can't speak on it directly. I think the part of the country where you live makes a massive difference on what the private schools are like as well. I live in a deep red state so the private schools reflect that. I imagine the private schools in liberal places like SF are even more liberal than the public schools

Where I live in the upper North East private schools have the better athletic programs/ its more competitive.
Sports like hockey it is not even close, private dominates public.

I did both. But I lived in a wealthy town growing up so the public school was probably not exactly "average"

This.
I grew up in the suburbs north of Dallas. The public schools were on par with private schools, and if a school didn't get its annual "blue ribbon" excellence certification (meaning enough passing standardized test scores), the parents would be out with pitchforks & torches. The communities there are very involved with the schools there (every available seat would be taken at all pta meetings).


Later in life I lived in New Orleans and then Chicago. If you want your kid to succeed at life, you literally can't send them to public school. The difference in quality between public & private/parochial was so extreme that it was a shock to my texan eyes.

I seriously think school could become like asian countries, separating people preliminarily by middle school, a lot more by junior high.

High school could separate people into the following 4 groups:

Geniuses graduating in 1 year plus another year of some specialized experience. These could attend Harvard, etc. or pursue professional school if they want.
Professional school kids. Future engineers, doctors, other intellectual trades. Maybe 2 regular years.
Remedial: These could do low level stuff like assistant work, accounting, paralegal, etc. and would anticipate an extra year to finish.
Future tradies: Gentleman's C in 3 years, 4 if they're a lot of trouble.

Intellect seems to fall into 5 categories.
1) Geniuses capable of leading their own systems (Bezos, founding fathers, quants.)
2) Semi-geniuses capable of leading others' systems with some of their own new ideas. (Chief surgeons, Musk, top attorneys.)
3) Competent people capable of doing others' systems (engineer, nurse, etc.)
4) People able to do some simple tasks (laborers)
5) People needing assistance. (short bus)

This could also involve 2 years skipped for the others in middle/junior high.

So, they're finishing high school at 13 with a gap year of experience to direct themselves.

The current system takes far too long. Look at pro athletes. They compete at 16-17 on the highest stage. There is no reason to think people cannot do intellectual work at this age.

And it's honestly cruel not to segregate people.
Imagine Lebron James stuck in a rec league, or your child trying to join a team with pro athletes still around.

lol. You're a ****ing idiot if you think the school you choose is going to determine whether your kid is gay/straight/trans/whatever. On a side note, there are more ****s in the Catholic church than a 1990s AOL chatroom.
