Homeschooling wtf!?

[Something completely different]

I was homeschooled all the way through from kindergarten to high school. I made a thread about it recently: http://atheistforums.org/thread-14619.html

thanks fo info

Why is "homeschooling" legal in the United states?

Not sure. Probably because religious fundamentalism runs deep and the main reason many parents homeschool is ensure their kids don't fall for evolution.

more of an argument to incriminate it.

Dont you see the potential danger of indoctrination lurcking in that practice?

Yes.

so why do you still have it?

It's not thought of as nonsense by 46 percent of americans unfortunately.

I frist thought this was a joke.
you have no idea how this just upset me.
I think the last time I lost so much faith in humanity was when I visited a exebition in Ausschwitz one year ago.

It's hard to described. There's not like there's a barrier that separates american into crazy and not-crazy.

I was suprised to find that there is a actualy very small definition of the term on wikipedia. The term doesn`t only include imigrants, but also include political movements aswell as religious movements.

definition:

Parallel society (German: Parallelgesellschaft) refers to the self-organization of an ethnic or religious minority, often immigrant groups, with the intent of a reduced or minimal spatial, social and cultural contact with the majority society into which they immigrate.[1]
The term has been introduced by the German sociologist Wilhelm Heitmeyer into the debate about migration and integration in the early 1990s. It rose to prominence in the European public discourse following the murder of Dutch director and critic of Islam Theo van Gogh. In 2004, it was elected by the Association for the German Language second as Word of the year.

so it`s clear, not crazy or not-crazy. it simply means, a comunity wich rejects the sociaty inwich it exists and attempts to create it`s own sociaty within that sociaty.
