Home Schooling - discuss

LO, Waiting for the teacher to explain something?

I was in Home-schooling from grades 5 to 11

Whats the need for so much homework?



So basically a kid is forced to do something they don't necessarily want to?

I was at a private school in which i didn't have to do sport.

I'm sorry but i absolutely think sport is overrated and overcompetitive.

Sport is bad for you! Being thin is healthy?

over competitive, only to someone who does not compete in activities. (Sport/general knowledge/athletics days etc.)

When a kid is given to many choices, that's were the problem starts!

No i'm just thinking I also knew everything when i was 17.........

lol :D

Why must you stereotype everyone?

Just typical

Nope...I've never seen a kid not want to participate. There's enough of a choice to satisfy everyone. Sport is very healthy and team sports help with a lot of life skills...negotiation, team play, strategising etc

:rolleyes: not stereotyping everyone! Who is everyone?

You don't work do you?

anyway, not attacking you, just my opinion... :D

so much wisdom for a 17 year old...
 
as a matter of fact i do... I have two jobs.

It felt like an attack

I still asked what sport do you do?

@gazer how much homework do your kids come home with? in the afternoon?

my comments were aimed at sport and competition, but good on you for the 2 jobs!

I have a full time job, so sport moves/transforms to hobby after school. I kites surf, squash, gym -> more for cardio, jogging etc.

If I may ask, what jobs do you do? How much time do they occupy in your daily routine?

Well i make Recordings for the church and that can take anything from a hour to more a day, am currently busy with lectures.

And then I do VHS to DVD and LP(records) to CD, it has slowed down a bit since i am actually busy writing exams, but usually takes about 3 to 4 hours...

I worked in a restaurant at one stage too but decided to leave since it was interfering in my schoolwork.

Probably between 1 and 2 hours a day...but they have 13 subjects so it's not that bad.
 
I also had a **** load of subjects in primary school, and I found it very useful.
It gives you some exposure to everything so you know a little more about what kinda subjects you will take later on. Do you wanna pick your subjects in grade one already?
 
i understand that and thats true i did do allot of subjects but back then i can't remember there being 13...
English obviously isnt your strongest subject :D Although spelling your name took a while to come to me :D

From what I remember I had
English
Afrikaans
Sotho
Maths
Geography
History
Natural Science
Technology
Computers
PT
Arts and culture

Thats 11, cant think of more righ now
 
Allot is allot because my mom taught me allot, but yeah english is not my strongest subject...

I did all those subjects he he, except for sotho.
 
WOW 13 subjects?

How many are used later in life?

They're both not yet in Grade 10 (one is grade 8 and the other grade 9) so they have:

English
Afrikaans
French
Maths
Science
Biology
History
Geography
EMS (accountancy)
Hotel Keeping and Catering
Technology (Woodwork/metal work)
Art
Music
Life Orientation...(Guidance, PE, Religious Instr)

That's actually 14. They write exams in all of them too
