Comment One word: homeschooling (Score 1) 1228
I couldn't agree more; The standard education is a danger to public health.
I hated both primary and secondary school (highschool). The last year at highschool I only attended the exams, completely skipping all classes (this was in the 70's when such a thing was still possible).
Being bullied for 10+ years is not without consequences. It causes serious psychological damage, something one can well do without.
Years after I left school I asked my parents why they did't have me educated at home. They replied that they thought I needed school to develop social skills (something I did years after leaving school).
Kids have the right to grow up in a non hostile enviroment. If you have kid that are `too bright for their own good', make shure that they have the education that meets their specific needs.
