This article from New York Times asks kids ages 13+ if they would like to be homeschooled. Scroll down to read their responses in the comment section. Then skip a few pages to where the homeschooled kids start writing their responses.
Here's one of my favorite responses. To be fair, I chose one that had correct grammar and spelling:
"Personally, I dont think that being homeschooled would be good because then you’re like this clueless person when you get to college. You wouldn’t know how to socialize and communicate with other people. You would be missing out on a bunch of projects, hands on, and group work. Basically, you would be unaware of the world. *Shrugs*… Imean if you can’t focus in class than you should go to like a private school where they might be more strict but still provide the social activities ..:D"
Seriously, like, pull them out now before it's too late!!! :D
Reading through there, the thing that struck me first was the homoginized nature of the PS comments. One thought; many mouths. Once I got a little further, I realized how *bad* the spelling and grammar was in the PS posts. Just one more reason to HS!
