Exactly what a weirdo would say.

school in the state and a great option. We’re also a part
of a coop
of other kids and my son loves that, too. He’s not weird. The other
mom’s and kids aren’t weird. There are many positive things for home
schooling. I think with Covid madness and shutdowns, a lot of people
are homeschooling anyway and finding that it works well for them.

I got thumped and choked by a few teachers, I was right at the end of
the road for teachers being allowed to handle business properly. Now
they allow kids like i was to disrupt everybody else. I was messing
with this one kid at lunch one time because he had the same last name
as me. After he had had enough, he popped me in the nose, probably
broke it, but it resolved the situation and he was able to finish his
grilled cheese in peace. Teachers saw it, even walked by while I
mopped my nose. It was simple, I was being a bully, he was done being
a bully, he addressed it using terms that were clear and we both
understood. The teachers saw that it had been satisfied and left it
alone. Today I probably would have been taken to an ER and the school
would have paid the bill, that poor kid that was just enjoying chili
and grilled cheese day would be expelled, probably arrested.
We didnt have gloves, we had an open lot across from two of the
schools, I assume after school theater was a pastime for teachers.
They had to be watching us resolve disputes because everytime
something would go to far they'd swoop in and drag people off,
otherwise problems simply got solved in those lots.
Public schools are too dangerous now and too political. I'm really
hoping I can find what I'm looking for

If
you got into a fight an old navy boxing teacher would give you
both gloves you would would duke it out. I thought it was great
fun. But I generally came out on top. Literally. I would borrow
the gloves and fight during recess for fun at times.

Why I'm there is another tangent and another category.
When I was in school in the 80's, if Kid A was wailing on Kid B
then an adult would step in and probably put Kid A in a headlock
until he's under control. Today, they aren't allowed to
physically touch the kids, and they're somewhat restricted in what
they're even allowed to say to them. So today Kid A gets asked
nicely to please stop doing that to Kid B.
That's all fine and good unless you're Kid B. My son was Kid B.
Kid A's mom was president of the PTA and refused to believe her
special offspring could have done anything wrong. School did both
jack and shit. So my wife said to hell with NY schools.

They do trend weird. In fact, I'd say homeschoolers range
from a little weird to effin cray-cray.
There are some whose kids have weird health conditions the
school can't accommodate. Like an extreme allergy or an
unusual disability. These are usually fairly sane.
The religious homeschoolers are often trying to protect their
children from the perils of the sinful world around them, and
those are some of the less crazy ones. However, some of the
religious ones are flat-earthers and young earth creationists
who don't want their children brainwashed with secular
sciences and/or have a persecution complex. The school teaches
facts like evolution and the earth being round, so therefore
it's persecution.
There are also people with weird lifestyles that the school
system won't accommodate. These could be vegans, nudists,
or
almost any other kind of weirdo you can imagine. I'm not
judging, I'm just sayin that they are, by definition, weird.
They're generally relatively safe and normal. I don't worry
about them doing or saying anything too insane, and I get
along just fine with the vegans in particular. You just have
to make sure to make something they can eat when they come over.
There are some who have, shall we say, "less mainstream"
notions about how school should work. "Radical un-schooling"
for example. If you read about unschooling I think it's a
method that really could work well for the right type of
curious and self-motivated kid & parent. It also may result
in a kid who's 12 and can't friggin read because his
"un-schooling" curriculum is video games and TV.....I
exaggerate, but only a little.
And finally, just to put the fear of God into you, there was
one home school family in the co-op who I suspect are child
abusers. You see, school is full of mandated reporters, but
if you're at home then there's nobody to see the evidence (and
I won't elaborate on this).
So if you join a co-op or otherwise link up with other
homeschool families just be sure to practice your poker face,
because you'll hear some weird shit.

I have an incoming Junior and an incoming 8th grader Id
prefer not to send back to Illinois brick and mortar for
at least the upcoming year with all the covid games and
politicking going on. The schools we deal with have
obvious union pressure to have ensured the remote
curriculum failed, dont want to play that game again the
coming year.
Have any of you personally dealt with or had customers
relay any good solutions? Im looking for instructor led
homeschool as educating without beatings isnt something im
really capable of.
there is a BYU curriculum I looked at but that gets some
hefty pricing and i couldn't ascertain whether its
acceptable in Illinois
