Skuze me sir, but sending your kid to waste 7 hours a day for his entire childhood in school, being forced to learn what the school thinks is important, is not exposing them to the world. I wake up every morning with the ability to spend my time how i please, and from that freedom i've gained much maturity and a full grasp on what the world is about. I went to school untill the end of 7th grade, when i left, like i said, i learned how to think for myself. Put me up against someone who goes to public school in a general knowledge quiz and i garentee ill pwn them, and i havent done a single worksheet in 3 years.

Well thats why you dont know a clue about public schools.

If you were so fucking smart you could've been in college at age 15.

Also, no offense here, but you seem to not have a clue.  Public schools = waste of time?  Okay....

BTW I go to high school and I admit most of what I'm doing is bullshit.  But it doesn't matter.  Staying home and isolating yourself is not the way to deal with the problem..

The Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services intervened after the couple's eldest child "reported physical and emotional mistreatment" by the father, court papers said. The department conducted an investigation and found that despite the couple's assertion that their children were enrolled at Sunland, they were educated at home by their mother, who does not have a teaching credential.

I dont isolate myself. Maybe going to school for 12 years of your life is the isolation?. Infact i know it is, im free to do as i please every day of my life. Yet people go to school as if its a jail sentance. Truely the public schoolers are the isolated.

Like anything in life, you get returns based on how much you put into it.  I was far from isolated in my public school, and in fact, if you want to, you can actually be challenged.  It just requires effort and a willingness to do it.  Maybe that was something you lacked, Mitch.

When the time rolls around when i need to know something, for a job, then i will learn it then. Study my ass off, and it'll be fresh in my mind and ready to use.
Or you could be forced to learn it all when you dont need it, forget it, graduate, and need to relearn it for your job again.

1 thing though before we continue debating, what is your point Senor? Are you arguing with me just for the sake of arguing?

My point was clear.  If you don't put anything into your education, you won't get much out of it.

If you want to go through life with the attitude of "I'll only learn it when my job needs it", you'll never hold a technical position.

I dont put much into my education at the moment and i already know much more than any of my friends who go to school. If i put more into my education then of coarse i could learn so much more, but right now, i wouldn't know what to learn. Math? I don't need advanced math or science. Infact if i did want to learn something new i would take a business coarse, or maybe learn some American history. But at this time in my life i don't care tbh, because i don't plan on going to college.

Obviously, you're not planning on going into the English field.

My career is going to be owning my own business like my father does.

"Like your father does" or "Dad is gonna give it to me"?  If it's the latter, then be honest with yourself: you'll always be ignorant, but you will make it.

No. He's not giving me anything. I don't want his business. I'd like to start my own, possibly a clothing line some day.

What happens if it doesnt work?  What happens if it falls apart and you lsoe everything you invested?

Your fucked.

Sit there and say you'll never need such and such, but when you have nothing to fall back upon, your gonna be kicking yourself in the ass.

I think maybe Mitch might agree with the fact that we should be learning shit like history and religion in high school instead of advanced math I know for a fact I will not be using when I get a job.

I'd agree with that.  People are citizens first, scientists later.
