Remember those parents that kept their kid's gender a secret?

[Steve~]

They reveal it at last. Someone please get the kid away from that household. :frusty:

Stupid 'sociological' experiment at the child's expense.

Kid looks messed up already. This had to be the mothers idea.

The Star reported on a baby Storm with parents who are practicing the same scenario. The backlash is pretty amazing.

Next it will be home schooling for f--- sakes...

Maybe you are joking but just in case.

...the average home-school test results continue to be 30-plus percentile points higher than their public school counterparts.

Many studies have been done. Lots of them completed by organizations with a vested interest one way or another.

Overall it appears that home schooling is very successful.

I will say again! Humans need a license or certification to do everything except reproduce! 10-20 years from now when this person goes berserk and murders people, J.Q. Taxpayer becomes its parent(s).

 

[Thunderballs]

Just proves that any nut can be a parent.

Great except are those children social misfits, just like many genius children that skip one or two grades and then don't fit in when attending high-school, post secondary?

I really could care less as my tap is closed because I never wanted to bring a child into the shitty world.

I know someone who has a daughter who was a social misfit AT public school. She became so messed up by the bullshit at school that her parents pulled her out and homeschooled her. By the time she was 21 she had graduated (late, I know) and soon attended a university for some medical program. She's now a nurse and doesn't showing any sign of any adverse effects from homeschooling. If anything, taking her out of the nightmare she lived every day at school saved her life.

It may be that she was okay because she had time to develop relationships in her early public school years, and was only pulled after turning 13. School can be a dangerous and depressing place when you're a teenager....
