I’m not a fan of using anecdotes in conversations like this, but I’ll give my personal experience and observations anyway. We have homeschooled our kids the past two years. My son is a 5th grader and my daughter is a 1st grader. The academic aspect has been wonderful. It’s has provided us a ton of freedom and efficiency. But I have also witnessed many homeschool families that don’t set very high expectations for their children academically. Those kids are well behind grade level. My belief is that they would be in the same boat whether in school or not. If the parents don’t care, the kids won’t either regardless of how good the teachers are. The social aspect has been miserable. Most (and I use this word intentionally) homeschool kids and parents are every bit as weird as the stereotypes portray. We have enrolled our kids back in private school for next year simply because it’s too difficult to replicate the social development that a school setting provides while homeschooling.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ There's no reason to doubt it. It's just as likely as the possibility that homeschooling is responsible for the test grades.

You are not smart enough to homeschool your children

@Blarfk @currermell @quesadaaa_ Possibly, but I highly doubt it.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ The trend lines aren't evidence, for the same reason - it's correlation, not causation. There could be another variable that is affecting homeschoolers over time and causing the trend line we see.

In equal settings, having knowledge of “how” to teach is definitely important. Most homeschool parents would be better off hiring a tutor with formal training than trying to educate on their own, but having individualized instruction from a competent parent is more important than being 1 of 30 taught by a trained teacher.

@Blarfk @currermell @quesadaaa_ Them performing better is not evidence, but the trend lines are for sure a piece of evidence. While it’s not enough information to draw a conclusion on its own, it’s one data point that points towards individualized time being more important than a formal teaching background.

@Blarfk @currermell @quesadaaa_ Okay. 🤣 I WAY over-read your post. My apologies. That is obviously true. I think I’m just in a contrarian mood and was hoping to debate someone. Thanks so much for taking the (unintentional) bait.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ No, I was saying that having knowledge of something and being able to effectively teach that knowledge are two entirely different things.

I may have misunderstood your argument in your original post. I read it as you were saying that you believed public schooling was superior to home schooling because the teachers took some education classes in college. It sounds like now that you are reserving your opinion until more data is available. I am tracking now?

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ No, I'm not saying that - I'm saying we don't know! Like in the example I gave - maybe rich kids tend to perform better, and homeschool kids tend to be rich. If we enrolled them in public school they would still perform better, but not because of the home schooling.

@Blarfk @currermell @quesadaaa_ Let me make sure I have you’re argument correct. Are you saying that the kids that homeschool would perform equally as well had they been enrolled in public schools?

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ But the reasoning is incorrect - it confuses correlation with causation for one (like I just described in the other reply). Maybe it's true because of what you are saying, but we don't know. There is no proof - it might be the opposite!

It’s a simple chain of reasoning. Homeschoolers outperform public schoolers on almost every metric. This is a provable fact. No one argues that parent involvement is the biggest indicator of a child’s success. Students are going to benefit more from one on one time than in a mass learning factory that is a public school classroom. It’s hard not to conclude that the individualized time and learning setting carries more weight than an instructor with a pedagogical background.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ It's not setting out to prove anything - it's saying there isn't proof that homeschooling leads to better results. It might be, but we don't know - the proof isn't there because of the issues it brings up. And sure, I'm happy to talk civilly - back atcha!

So who was responsible then if not for the people educating the child? Also, the gap is less important than the trend lines. A gap is expected because more unprepared public schoolers take the exam than with homeschoolers. Unprepared homeschoolers usually don’t sign up for the test. The trend lines are the evidence. Public schoolers are performing worse year over year while homeschoolers continue to improve.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ And this graph is just doing the correlation vs. causation problem. Just because homeschooled kids did better on a test than public school kids, it does not mean that the home schooling was responsible.

It’s not necessarily that the article is “wrong”. It just doesn’t prove anything. It actually works against your argument to an extent. It highlights that parental involvement matters more than the formal education setting. P.S. Thank you for having a rational chat. It’s much appreciated. Those are rare on this platform.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ What is incorrect about the other points that the article brings up (and the studies that it links to)?

It is 100% true. The article you linked proves nothing. The only valid point it makes is about the math gap. You also provided a very biased source. I’ll provide something that is pure fact and inherently unbiased. Let’s focus on the metric of the ACT. As you can see public school scores have been consistently on the decline for about two decades, while the other two groups have been improving.

@MPFB_Prediction @currermell @quesadaaa_ Easy - that's just simply not true. crhe.org/research/the-t…

@Blarfk @currermell @quesadaaa_ If the field of pedagogy actually has an innate value, explain why homeschoolers outperform public schoolers in almost every metric.

@currermell @quesadaaa_ Having knowledge of something and understanding pedagogy are two entirely different things.

This person may not be smart enough to homeschool their kids, but the vast majority of homeschool parents are. This is evidenced by the fact that homeschoolers outperform public schoolers on almost every metric. Teaching is not hard!

@WGB1981 @NUCLRGOLF For sure! I have top 1% club head speed and my stock 7-iron goes about 180.

Why did anyone in New York think this situation would be any different? These particular people may not have voted for him, but they ALL are going to be dealing with this until he’s out of office.

I get that @BenjaminSWatson did not feel called to pursue a coaching career and I respect that. I also understand that his first priority is to his wife and children and coaching is a MASSIVE commitment, but imagine the impact he could have had had he pursued a coaching career. He definitely has the makings of the next @TonyDungy.

@DivotDoctrine The best is the ole chunk and run with driver. If I could replicate that on purpose as a fairway finder, I would use it 80+% of the time.

Why does the chunk and run shot always have a good result?

Please, for the love of God, do not follow this advice.

This is correct. Immature people show emotion immaturely.

Seriously though, I love that you decided to take a risk and launch a business. I’d love to hear more about the concept. It’s scary, but it provides a lot of freedom. If you need someone to bounce ideas off of or want to brainstorm some ideas on how to scale it up feel free to shoot me a DM.

@MPFB_Prediction @AnotherJerryLU @TheTowelRackWKU @KyletheDonKY @wkupd I am a better person. I just don’t like people like Jerry😂💯 Just felt like trolling today

Idk what all happened, BUT anything where fans are being fans and not being inappropriate should be fair game. ESPECIALLY in the student section.
