Teachers Be Crazy
Barmymoo:
Dawg your sex ed cannot have been more awkward than mine and I was at a state school. Our form tutor was the most committed evangelical Christian I have ever met, and her sex ed classes were "Don't have sex before marriage or you will go to Hell". Well. That was helpful. It wasn't until year 11 (aged sixteen, at which point I'd already accompanied three friends to the clinic to take the emergency pill) that we were taught by an external nurse how to put a condom on, and I had never even heard of the implant or the injection until then.
How was homeschooling? I'm really interested, I'm hoping to homeschool my own kids when I eventually have them so I'd love to hear about it.

It was amazing, because about two weeks into my father gave up and I spent the next year focusing on learning how to play guitar. :mrgreen:
(Not even joking)

@barmymoo
Mine went well :), I enjoyed it because we could focus on more IT based stuff, and there was more involvement on my part, which is very important. But homeschooling requires a lot of work and studying(if you yourself don't know the subject yourself), but home schoolers perform statistically better. I did spend time in public schooling as well, which sucked a lot because of bullying.
richlitt:
My homeschool experience was good but I was lonely.
When I went back to school in eigth grade, I cried twice on the first day - once because the movie 10 Things I Hate About You wasn't christian on the bus, and once because of all of the disrespectful your mom jokes.
So, yeah. I'd suggest against homeschooling your kids, especially if you're evangelical. It will take them years to get over it. And they might move across an ocean to do so. And only call around once a month.
Barmymoo:
I don't even have kids yet, so I guess it is kind of premature to be planning this, but I'm not evangelical and I hate that film anyway so my kids are going to be fine.
