this is just my humble opinion , that home schooling is best, why should everyone turn their children over to government indoctrination anyway?
Exactly. I home schooled my son after the 5th grade. They had been working on him (and the others) to be punching bags for the bullies. Despite my advice to him, he took the punishment till it became to much and he fought back. Of course, I had to go talk with the principal about it. With him sitting right there, I let her know my son was not sent there to be a punching bag and since the school was unable to stop it, that my son had to take the matter into his own hands. And that while he might be in trouble at school, he was a hero in our home. That was his final year in the public school system.
Between that, all of the social engineering that he would come home with trying to dictate changes in our home I had enough. He was a bright child, often in trouble for finishing his work before the others and out of boredom and being a boy he would talk and joke. So he was home schooled, getting his technical certificate in computers 3 weeks after his 18th birthday. He now makes more money than I ever had. And as to the idea that it socially stunts a child's growth, my son is loved by many in a way I have never known nor will ever know.
Thanks for adding your thoughts on this and keep
sticking to my guns on this one.
You legend you, thank you, your seal of approval means more than you know.
Thank you for your kind words, as well as the votebot. I really appreciate the gesture but wanted to let you know of something I have been participating in. While I am not rabid about the votebots like some are, I do think they are bad for the long term success of the platform as far as their impact on newer users. Without making a lengthy explanation as to the whys (as everyone has their own opinion) I wanted to let you know I have been refraining from using them, and have been using the nobidbot tag. It is a newer tag that those of us who dislike the influence of the bots have been using as a new search feature to bypass the control the bots have on Hot and Trending. I went ahead and deleted the tag from this post so hopefully no harm no foul.
I really do appreciate the kind gesture. Please know I value your insights much more than a monetary value and whatever your voting power is (even if you have none to spare at the moment) is always the right amount when it comes to your weighing in on the topic.
It is the fact that my vote power is low now, and the value of my vote also, that I thought your post deserved more than I can give, so I gave in that way, you may note I am bot free on my own posts, I do see it as a plus for others though, maybe that needs to be written in the code, though then everyone will have 10 accounts on here, I do not have all the answers, I just wanted to give you some upvote loving.
I really do appreciate the gesture. I was thinking while I was writing my explanation to you (which wasn't easy as it is hard to ask for kind gestures not to be made after the fact) that maybe they should have a do not use list users can opt into that would tell the bots not to accept bids for certain accounts.
I do understand your thinking and have been struggling with vote issues enough myself I actually bought some Steem yesterday and am trying to rent enough delegation so I quit running out of votes so quickly. A few weeks ago I was consistently running between 45-55% voting power which wasn't good as it was going lower daily.
