I didn't want to blabber about this in the ACA thread, but would anyone here put their kids in homeschool? :/
I think it takes away from socialization. people suck?
actually I've been looking into this:
http://www.k12.com/
they have private and public options.
She has 2 cousins within 2 months of her age, and more within 2-3 years. Not to mention that I plan to still enroll her in some other activities.
The mother is more worried about that than I am though, but she frets about everything, even more than a normal mother would, I keep telling her to go see a damn shrink... /siderant
Wasn't specifically talking about you or your situation. It just brought up the thought.
I could see it working, provided they are involved in other activities in which they engage with kids outside of the familial sphere.
Some of the most important aspects of education is the fun and tradition involved with it. It reminds students that they're allowed to be goofballs from time to time, and that's not to say that they can't have fun at home, but some of those organized social events like homecoming and clubs and proms are necessary.
Now let's say you have someone who abstains from those activities (like yours truly). It allows them a chance to learn a hard lesson about being social that they'll rely on later on in life. Either that or it will just cause them to abhor social situations, but homeschooling wouldn't alter that either.
The lessons in teamwork, compromise, ect. in various clubs and extracurricular is important, I think. You have to learn to confront, adapt and/or overcome different situations and people at a very basic level also.

How would you participate in hands-on labwork? Labgroups were fun too.
I don't think I could opt-in to homeschooling either, Mos.

I think it takes away from socialization. there are valid reasons senorita.
For example some friends of mine have 3 boys and Noah is a soccer coach, meaning he's always gone like 4pm to 10pm weeknights and would almost never see them. So elise and him are home schooling so he gets to spend a lot more time with them.
Here, it's mostly evangelical loons who want to close off their children from the rest of the world who opt to do homeschooling.

I think it takes away from socialization. 4 of my cousins were homeschooled. Granted it was more of a small community type thing like 20-40 kids (I forget exactly) of all ages (my cousins have about 10 years between em) and different parents in the community taught different things... I think this is how it worked... I could follow up and ask again. One has already graduated from college and is getting his masters and is wading his way through the filth that is DC politics and the other in college is an engineering major... The oldest is a little akward but I mean no more than any nerdy kid but he's very well spoken and socialble.
The other one is pretty normal. Both pretty bright... the two youngest girls are very normal too if not a little too overactive lol...
I know the knee jerk reaction is to think homeschooled kids are hiden away and lack social skills but its usually not the case in my experience. There's other kids in the neighborhood and many of them seem to be very involved in their communities.
I always thought they were a bit naive when younger but hell I was extremely naive growing up lol... ahhh looking back lol...
tldr? If you're worried about missing out on the social aspect just get them involved in the community. They have sports you can enroll them in and volunteering at local community centers and what not. there's lots of programs around.

and speaking of finding a better way of teaching our childrens teh stuffs... how far away are we from the direct download?
"I know kung fu"
did anyone else watch the Matrix and wonder why they didn't download some acting lessons to keanu reeves first?
<warpy matrix brain download noise> they had the port installed already... maybe it was in that pile of disk drives dozer skipped over...
the movie would have been more believable if when he jumped out of the chair he had some talent... other than getting his *** kicked at high speed by whatshisname... the guy that does the car commercials now..
is samuel l jackson upset he didn't take that roll?
I wonder how many people think that is SLJ? ***he is in every other damn movie ever made...
I'm going to yell "I loved you in the matrix" the next time I see him

So basically you're "valid reasons" have nothing to do with the education or development of the child and instead is just some dad that wants to sped some time with his kids?
Is he qualified to teach them anything? I mean I think it's great that a parent actually wants to sped time with his kids but...
There's always the weekend... you're just going to get tired of them anyways... and why does this guy only work like 5-6 hours a day?

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
