There are GOOD public schools out there and GOOD kids who attend them whether you choice to believe that or not.
In all fairness though, your views on marijuana are probably not the same as the poster you are quoting (according to the recent marijuana thread).

I could then see a black kid on a bike and make the assumption that he has stolen it, of course I don't know whether or not he has. Seems ridiculous, I think.
So you've done similarly. You must know a few homeschooled kids that you've perhaps observed in crowds, and you've stereotyped them as distinguishable in that situation. Then you go and apply that to "almost all" homeschooled kids in crowds. That is a stereotype. Had you said "I know x number of homeschooled kids and most of the time those kids are socially awkward or whatever you meant by "can be picked out of a crowd", then you'd be reporting an observation.
I'm not saying your original statement is wrong, but is a stereotype.
Go back to my original post. I very clearly stated it was a personal observation... and by using the past tense in my description it's very clear I was referring to only my own experiences.
Had I spoken in present tense it would have been a stereotype.

Nothing significant. I was just saying that your views of acceptable and the OP's views of acceptable are probably different, based on your viewpoints of marijuana.

few things
overjustification effect.... if you give too much praise they will do the opposite of what you want
you can always go for private school
yea expensive in some circumstances.. but better in some as well
its a lil better education.. it is what you make of it.....
you can get a good education anywhere..
and if ur a good parent and if your involved
you kids wont do "bad" drugs your kids wont sleep with everyone
everyone here that is over 30 really dont know what they are talkin about wen it comes to school cuz they havent been there in 15yrs
you think you do but u dont
you think all these drugs are everywhere
drugs are there if you want htem
you have to go looking for them to find them
kids will make their own decisions
u just need to be there to guide them
and wen i have kids i hope they smoke weed rather then drink
drinking can kill
weed cant kill(and it doesnt lead to other drugs)
also
one of the biggest reason children are homeschooled
is because there parents are too scared to let them live their own lives
if you dont let them live be prepared for a messed up adult who has trouble socializing

lol as a 24 year old, I graduated in may 07. And you are wrong, I went to an affluent high school no gang problems, but drugs where everywear, from
[hr]
, steroids to crack. I didn't go "look for it" i didn't have to, it was offered to me every day. I can honestly say that out of 30 people on my baseball team 50% of them were using some sort of drugs from weed, and it is a gateway drug (The slippery slope argument is a good argument) to steroids. THC effects the nervous system simular to alcohol.
A 12 year old kid isn't old enough to "live their own lives" that is why you can't drink till your 21 or use tobacco till your 18, you can't drive till your 16, and you can't enter into a legal contract till your 18. Why in the world you you allow your kids to face something far worse when they are in still in jr high?

liek drinkin
alot of european countries have very low drinking ages
but barely have binge drinking problems??
wonder why
cough parenting cough
and at my "private school"
yea there were drugs but there was a small group of people
and jsut cause u went to a rich highschool doenst mean nothing
just means you can afford more drugs

and they had more drugs then my private school in the middle of the ghetto

Using drugs and alcohol equates to living? That's sad.
"France has the highest rate of alcoholism in the world" and they start legally at 16... Alcoholism is a serious concern across much of Europe....

i didint say drugs and alcohol have anything to do with livin
i think makin ur own choices do wether they be right or wrong
and i didint say n e thing about alcoholism i said binge drinking
and thats probably one of the older drinkin ages over there
and wat i meant by wha ti said was that they have more respect for it
kids in europe arent taught to be scared of drinking
kids here are told no and no and no
so when they can they will abuse it very badly
the only way to learn is to make mistakes and to lose

1. HAHAHAHAHA!!! You guys remember trying to use that line on our parents?
2. Wow... as a former cop who has seen drugs from the inside, there are SO many things wrong with those statements. Educate yourself, sciknen...
3. Ummm... I'm not too "scared to let them live their own lives." They are children, they do not have "their own lives" the way adults do. What they have (at least should have) are parents who direct and mold them as they develop the foundations of character they will need to successfully establish and execute "their own lives." That's when they become adults, not when they are children.

So did you learn to look both ways by walking infront of a car and getting hit?
Or learn not to touch a hot stove by planting your hand on the burner.
If one can only learn by the school of hard knock then that one is a moron.

i have a very good education
and most kids do burn themselves wen u tell them not to touch
and just cause i support marijuana and parents not controlling every thing their kids do
doesn't mean i am a moron or uneducated
and marijuana is in the same state alcohol was in
prohibition
the only reason why it was ever made illegal was political
i was going to college for chemical eng and doing very well
decided i wanted to be a firefighter instead
also u cudnt show me any proof that weed kills or make u do other drugs
one could say that alcohol(a drug) leads to other drugs
also there are some things u have to learn for yourself
and to the guy that is a former cop
maybe u shud educate urself instead of just listening to what authority tells you
use the internet and do some research about how many deaths where cause by overdosing on weed
or just hwo vague the hole gateway drug evidence( survery) is
and how you could say the same for alcohol
if you ever took a few college classed they tell you how litte you can count on a survery as empirical evidence
