Come see where you kid is going to fail at common core and get robbed and beat up DON'T put your kid in the wicomico school system , take a chance in Detriot.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Keep them home and teach them what little you learned over your life. Skinning muskrats, plucking chickens, spot lighting deer and poaching rockfish are not considered life skills.
ReplyDeleteWhen all else fails in the event of an EMP, they will be life skills...
ReplyDeleteWow, could they make the date of the first day back to school any more confusing and complicated? Wasn't it so much easier when everyone started on the Tuesday after Labor Day?
ReplyDelete9:07, what a ridiculous statement.
ReplyDeleteWhile trying to portray homeschooling parents as stupid rednecks, you have shown your own ignorance.
You may have expressed two of those items as illegal activities, but everything you mentioned IS a life skill - in an emergency, it's how people can survive. People get paid to pluck chickens. Thank God for farmers who raise the food you put into your elitist mouth with your perfectly manicured hands.
But even more to your point, I will be sure to inform my friend whose homeschooled children are BOTH going to Ivy League schools - with scholarships - what you said. Perhaps you would like to have coffee with her. But you supply the overpriced Starbucks. They are a tight budget family and in addition to physics, she taught them the value of a dollar. I'm not sure, but they may also know how to pluck a chicken.

ReplyDeleteThank you! Spot on, some people can't help but identify everyone on the Easter Shore as ignorant rednecks but they have no problem indulging in our scenery and bountiful farming products. You can't fix stupid but you can call them on it and walk away smiling.

Schools start before Labor Day so low-achieving students can have five more days of instruction before state testing next spring. If you think that will change, be reminded that all decisions must benefit the least academic folks in our schools.
