Not necessarily.
This actually speaks more to the issue in a roundabout way. Americans are obsessed with numbers and standardized tests, so teachers are not encouraged to be flexible and creative in teaching their students how to learn. They are not adapting to their students the way the teachers in Finland are for example. The irony, is that most of the research and data Finland is using to be creative comes from the United States. But the point is, when someone is home-schooled, a parent is almost necessarily going to modify their teaching methods to help their child understand. That is the utmost flexibility.
I would not sacrifice the sociological benefits of a proper school environment for home-schooling. But given the fact that most schools don't, and aren't allowed to operate in a proper manner, I can completely see the logic in home-schooling.
Half home schooling/half private-public is best imo. If you can, its best to home school your kids in terms of the rudimentary shyt and try to get them on a level ahead of their age group then send them in. Kids need the socialization aspect of traditional school and you won't get that as much through home schooling. Yeah, they can play with friends after school but working on school projects, going on field trips, etc a kid needs those things.
Sounds like an objective source.
California isnt a poor southern state, and its pretty low...I dont think its simply an economic issue.
Cali been broke, but I'd agree its not just economics.
It's more than a quality of education. I took a long trip to the rich cac school i went to... and that shyt was depressing to be around that many people who didn't look like me, but was madddd eye opening
Those cac were not more motivated or smart imo.. they did fukk shyt and stupid shyt all the time. But their culture and expectations were different. At my school going to a top university wasn't something that you strive for...... it was simply expected, every single student was pretty much set up.
If you have a school full of poor but materialistic- and unfocused students - that also have to deal with 10X the amount of life stress and fukk shyt that other kids are dealing with - then the quality of education will be lower --- they come from a lower tax area + the teachers don't give a fukk about them.
I remember we used to work in Hschools... when we would go to urban HS ---- The teachers would be sooooooooooooooooo happy just to have that break, plus we saw madd fights break out, plus gun checks, plus each room door would bolt lock between each class. Of course treating kids like prisoners will fukk w their heads. Teachers used to basically talk to them like they were all bad ass kids.
At other schools there were open campuses that got ur mind ready for college... madd resources, madd standardize test training the the end of school years, and also teachers who weren't depressed to show up.
