Helllooooo Nurse!

Don't ask about the title...I was trying to come up with a post title, and then I thought about Anamaniacs, and...well, that's what Yakko and Wakko say when they see an apparently good looking girl.  Or woman.  Or nurse as it is often, which is why they say, "Helooooo nurse!"
So anyway, yesterday I talked to a British guy walking his cat.  It was pretty awesome.  I want to walk my cats.
Today I want to talk about education.  Not school, education.
It's important right?  People need to know how to read, write, do basic math, ect, but so many people drop out and fail, and things like that.
I think that everyone should be able to be homeschooled for at least preschool through kindergarten.  I know not everyone will agree with me, but from the mouth of a former homeschooler, and a now privateschooler...HOMESCHOOL IS GOOD!!!
Does it mean that you're not socialized?  You know...if you're homeschooled, and away from all the wonderful influences that bullies, druggies, and people who just don't want to learn?
WELL!  For your information, the word socialized, which is a dirivitive of the word socialize means this:  1. To place under group or government control. 2. To make friendly, cooperative, or sociable. 3. To convert or adapt to the needs of a social group. 4. To take part in social activities.
Well, if you're wondering, I've always been quiet welly socialized.  I want to know what the public schooled kids argument is...
I mean seriously, when you're homeschooled, you have time to actually get to know who you are, and what you believe, without getting picked on by bullies...unless you have younger siblings who constantly poke you, or cousins who come over to poke you...but that's not really classified as a bully is it?
When you're in a public school, you're gonna get picked on.  Even in a private school.
And if you want to keep your child innocent, by all means send them to a public, or even private Christian school, because none of the people there have dirty minds, and none of them there would ever think about repeating disturbing jokes to you child, and of course none of the third or fourth graders there would ever sing a suggestive song, and 5th and 6th graders have conversations about sex, and boobs and stuff...
Take a hint...THEY DO, AND YOUR CHILD WILL NEVER BE INNOCENT AGAIN!
Granted, even when they're homeschooled, there's this dratted, yet awesome thing that was invented...it's known as google...anyone can google what a hickey, and if you look up certain things, you can, and sometimes will get pictures of shirtless, braless women.
Honestly, there is no innocence anywhere, but you'll keep you child more innocent than if they go to a public or even private school.
Anyway, moving away from the innocence topic...do you really want people that you don't really know implanting ideas in your children's heads?  I have calculated that I now spend more time with my classmates and teachers than I get to spend with my amazing mommy.  Do you honestly want your little kids away from you that much?
Humph.
There are pros and cons to being homeschooled, and public/private schools...I made a list: Pros and Cons
Well...I need to get off my soap box...and get to work and stuff.
See y'all!
