Can there be any viable alternatives to schooling?

its interesting topic, i believe that school is a dual concept, learning stuff, and learning social skills

 

 

when my niece first went to preschool

 

we picked her up after school, and i asked " how was school " she replied, "they we trying to teach me my letters and numbers, but they didn't know i already knew"

with a style of language like she got a way with something

 

 

it was great

then she moved to another city around the 5th grade

and she failed a math test just to fit in

 

she pulled the class, being in a year around school, some student would skip a partial grade with her

 

similar to when i was baby sitty my friends daughter oddesy, she was 1 1/2

 

i was playing hackey sac like a juggler, then when she got tired, i grabbed my crayons and started the alphabet both vocaly and written, and after she tried to write each letter

 

we both said "YAAAAAAAAAY" and clapped our hands

 

we did the whole alphabet, and my friend matt, watching me, bought a chalk board

 

when she was 2, i went to his house, she grabbed my hand, and sat me down next to her chalk board, went to her toy bin, and grabbed a book after book and stacked them next to me

 

then she sat next to me, and read every letter in every book

 

with of course a "yaaaaay" after each page B)

 

the idea was it was fun

 

IMHO teachers that are rude suck :angry:

 

they do nothing but make our children want to stop learning

 

~hey, teachers, leave them kids alone~ pink floyd

 

i believe school is very important, but i think we need strickter training for them, with larger saleries to compliment it

 

 

 

i love teaching, i love learning,

 

like i say, it is great to teach, it is better to learn

 

going to school is a major thing, social skills, and communal learning are fundumental to unified thinking

and dynamic problem solving,

 

while it should be encouraged to teach at home, and learn by internet forums and the like

 

i think school is very important

 

:D
