Darn!

I missed the bad pun joke party!


The only bad joke around here is when your mother pranked your father by poking holes in the condom assuming her birth control would take care of it.

Pun jokes are supposed to be jokes. Taking normally and awkwardly shoehorning names into your sentences is not humour :u

The American education system needs a big overhaul. It's outdated by decades and treats kids as statistical data points rather than human beings

An educated country returns the investment many times over. Brainless kids will be brainless doctors and politicians one day

Honestly, the American school system is extremely inefficient. Unfortunately, since it is so poor, I don't have enough brains left to think of ways to improve it.

Honestly I don't know why homeschooling isn't more popular than it is. Those are some of the smartest fucking kids. They're generally not as social, but otherwise they're really smart compared to most public schoolers.

Requires quite a bit financially, as well as dedicated time from parents to ensure that learning takes place? Of course, you could hire a tutor to do it, but that raises the financial requirements further. Though there are some online programs that are good for building a strong education, they tend to be supplemental in nature, and sometimes are also costly. Really, it's not easy to be a homeschooled kid, or parent to a homeschooled kid.

I said popular, not practical.

But yes that's why it's not. It is, however, wildly more effective than public school. Developing a system that teaches that much information to that many kids isn't easy to begin with.

You can be a genius but not have social abilities and still fail in life.

It's the difference between IQ and EQ.

All IQ and no EQ you end up with doctor house.

There's plenty of IQ geniuses that could be considered retarded in the EQ department.

They're also really stubborn and unwilling to consider other points of view, because they've been spoon fed biased information from their parents their whole lives. And they're pretty awkward people to be around. I wouldn't want to hire someone like that.

I think House is just apathetic and doesn't give a shit. Or at least pretending to not give a shit.

That's really true actually. This girl I dated who was homeschooled knew everything there was to know about theology off the top of her head. But she was also extremely racist toward anybody middle eastern, so THAT didn't last long.

I don't know man, homeschool them for information but have like sporting or art or social events that they have to attend. Or put em to work early in the factory to both be productive AND socialize. Two birds one stone.

But that actually defeated the purpose of homeschooling then.
