Interesting.
That echo's a concept I've been developing for quiet some time. I'm agin
government schools. I think that children should be homeschooled. When asked
how those homeschooled children are going to learn social skills by
interacting with their "peers" I point out that it's irrelevant.
By that I mean.....why teach children to interact with children? Childhood
is a temporary thing...the remainder of their lives they will be dealing with
adults. Why not teach children to deal with adults to begin with and be done
with it?
Yes...I know...look at all the things they would miss by not interacting with
their peers.....like drugs...bullies...teenage pregnancy...and other such
character building experiences..
