tee-hee!
Makes me lol because it’s true.
Feel free to use the ordinal post rule on me, I love to learn new things
Can’t, you didn’t say the magic word.. rules are rules, mate.
… Do I have too? I don’t like trolling, Eddie.
By the way, Eddie..

LMAO!!! Good one, Tyler..
That was hysterical!
And precisely why I never home schooled my kids.
My ex wanted to try with our kids. I suggested she try doing it for one semester and let’s see how it goes. It didn’t last 1 month before I had them back in school.
Would it be over-generalizing to say that most who want their kids home schooled need a little more basic education themselves?
Yeah, I guess it probably would.
Hmmm…I never really thought about it that way before…I just love a over-generalization!
Well, most people do!
And I love replacing “an” with “a”. Dammit, my troll side has emerged! NOOO!!!!!
No randy, it’s been here all along …
twice…
Meh
I was homeschooled and I am now in a good community college. My four siblings were also homeschooled. One is a Ph.D and graduated magna cum laude. One is a software engineer at Google. The eldest is a successful accountant who has been promoted above others. They all had friends, activities, sports, etc. They all learned about the ‘real world’. I tested out of having to take English entrance tests at the community college where I am taking my initial education. I have been tested many times that I am “gifted” in and English and langauge. Stating that all homeschooled children are of a certain manner is generalization. It is neither fair nor appropriate. It is just as unfair of me to say all public-school children receive poor education, have overbearing schedules, and will fall into bad behavior.
You would be correct in terms of generalizations. In my particular situation my ex didn’t really have the educational background or ability to home school. I did what I could, but in all honesty, I don’t think it was suited for my kids. One thing I don’t necessarily agree with on home schooling is the social interaction. Even given todays climate with bullying and such, I still feel strongly that kids need the interaction with other’s their age to help formulate social boundries. I wouldn’t mind if kids were home schooled as well as have some class time. To me that might strike a fair balance.
My sis and I never had a problem with social interactions, except for the fact that we were socialized with a much older age group than just our peers. We had neighborhood playmates, and we were also “holding court” with adults who were friends with our parents. It made for a really well-rounded experience growing up. Also, the fact that she and I both graduated (her with honors) from a two-year community college before going on to a 4 year university for our Bachelor’s degrees (hers in teaching, mine in Poultry), we were allowed to have our “high school peer” experience. Personally, I’dve been happy without all the crap in “high school”
And I hated all of the drama.

Of course, my sis and I were extremely lucky, in that my dad is a college professor and my mother has been a teacher her entire life (elementary school with a special ed rider…she teaches pre-K kids with special needs right now), and so we didnt’ have to deal with the uneducated parent just winging it.
Well no wonder you’re so smart! My sister in law and one of my nieces both home schooled their kids, but also had them in various “after school” enrichment activities for music and field trips and what not. My niece’s kids were also raised on Monty Python and interactions with their odd relatives (um, like me) so they are not like “real” high school kids at all. Way more fun.
I think you and your sister would prove to be the exception to the rule. With having both parents qualified to teach that would give you a leg up. I’m afraid that a lot of people that get the notion to home school probably don’t have the ability to teach their kids out of a paper bag.

The few kids I do know that have been home schooled probably did better despite mom and dad. But they still seemed to be lacking in some social areas.
I know several home-schooled kids, and they vary. The family I know best is part of a home-schooling group that does many activities together, from field trips to specialized classes to parties & vacations. This is the peer group for the students, and also provides the parents with more resources than just their own abilities.
These parents are not qualified teachers, but they are thinking, aware adults capable of finding what they need to assure their child’s development. Like Froofrou, their child’s peer group also includes adults. While comfortable having adult conversations, she’s still very much a kid. And a well-grounded one, at that.
My kids got educated through a mix of public school, private school, and homeschooling. My daughter who lives in Texas now did private kindergarten (the preschool where I worked at the time had a kindergarten program) then public school for 1st through 7th grade. In 7th grade she hated her school so much it was a daily battle to get her there (Yes, I do mean “battle” — there were a lot of days I ended up frogmarching her into the guidance counselor’s office personally!). On her guidance counselor’s suggestion, I found her a really awesome boarding school for 8th and 9th grades (very small, rural area, total crunchy-hippie-peaceandlove-vegetarian-no tv kinda place, which occasionally made me
, but it was great for her!) then she did two years at one public school, wanted to transfer to another for her senior year, hated the new school, and homeschooled for the rest of her senior year. She’s a chemistry major at St. Edward’s University in Austin now.
Her younger sister did public school until the middle of 10th, then finished 10th through a homeschooling extension program that was PURE crap, and then homeschooled for 11th & 12th. About to join her sister in Austin (with hefty financial aid due to awesome test scores!). The youngest homeschooled for 8th grade because he couldn’t stand his middle school, but decided after that to go to public high school, in part because he didn’t think he was self-motivated enough for homeschooling. Overall, we’ve managed to work it out but I’ve learned there’s no one right answer to educating kids.
“I am now in a good community college” – isn’t that an oxymoron?
“Gifted in English and langAUge.”
…Unless, of course, English is not their first langUAge…
i wanna learn a langauge. it sounds like more fun than learning a language… i hated spanish.
Pardon me for a typo; I guess that I forgot that humans are supposed to be completely infallible.
See that you don’t forget that in the future.
What is wrong with a community college? Many people use community colleges as steps toward four-year colleges, for vocational jobs, or in situations when they need to work and balance school at the same time. My community college has an excellent secretarial program, graphic design, art. One of my best friends is going on to the Art Institute of Houston.
Just re-read your last until it sinks in that you’ve just said “it’s an intermediate step, and teaches typing like it needs brains”.
Secretarial work takes a lot more than typing. If you think that is all that it consists of, you haven’t been paying attention. And no, I’m not in that field–I’m an academic.
There is no shame in community college. People associate it with the remedial courses which are offered, but that is certainly not the be-all and end-all. All colleges and universities have to offer remedial courses, because of grade inflation in public high schools. I haven’t taught in a community college, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect what they do.
Any honest work is good work. It doesn’t matter what a person’s background is as long as that person has character
Community colleges are a great way to get a lot of those required courses done for a LOT less money, for one thing. They also have a lot of courses scheduled at times when people who work days can get to them; not to mention the function of teaching vocational skills that aren’t normally associated with four-year degrees but which are very much needed, like auto mechanics or HVAC repair.
They are also very useful if they are the only college in your town and you can’t afford to go to the university yet
I was about to comment something very similiar, diss. Community college IS a great place to get a lower (AA, AS) degree without getting a giant kick in the pocket book.
A community college can be a great opportunity if you’re interested in pursuing education along local speciality lines. Where I grew up a major industry is large-scale dairies, and the Ag program at the CC is exceptional. A perfect stepping stone, with a lot of hands-on experience for people doing undergrad work that they may not have experienced elsewhere.
*sigh* may not experience elsewhere.
the other thing about community colleges is if the university of your choice is a top one, bypassing the first two years there and applying with an aa degree can make a difference. the big univ. here will admit a degree from a cc over a freshman coming in from high school
If you want to save a lot of money on your core classes, a community college is perfect. You just have to make sure your credits transfer. All of my sons went to a CC before going on to Uni and they save quite a bit by going that route.
My wife just graduated summa cum laude from CC with her AA and is going on to a 4-year college this fall. The financial savings are HUGE.
Well, I *did* say I was over generalizing
Congratulations to you and your family, you seem to be exceptional people!
My experience with home schooled kids is limited to the dozen or so that have come in looking for work; they’ve seemed like lovely, sweet people, but they had no experience with, well, ANYTHING. Never watched TV (not a bad thing, really), never seen a movie (except the ones shown at their church), never read any books except the ones their youth group minister assigns them, never been anywhere, never met anyone (again, except for their church and their church members). They seem in a permanent state of shock, horror, and growing panic, as they realize MOST PEOPLE DON’T BELONG TO THEIR CHURCH OR HAVE THEIR EXACT SAME WORLD VIEW, OMG!!!
But, as I said initially, it would be overgeneralizing to say every home schooled kid has that experience.
-Vomits-
Yeah I knew someone who was homeschooling and had billiards at the basement pool table as the gym/physical activity part. Not too much different from this video sadly. I weep for the kids. This was a funny video though
Not roflmao funny, but at least lmao funny.
A better actress as Mom might have pushed it over the edge for me
True, Acting is not the mom’s calling for sure. Good thing it wasn’t a dram lesson. Fine arts would have been even worse than the math lesson…
It was a guy… They’re a comedy group, min, not an acting production, just those five guys
Actress? It’s a five-man comedy group, Mark
This whole video would have gone a completely different route if it’d been my mom in it. She used to threaten me with home schooling if my grades in middles school didn’t come up. I knew that was a hell I didn’t want to explore.
nigahaga watcher
?
Yeah.. there were two votes.. His own and Osama’s!
Osama’s got Iranian citizenship? o.O
I think it’s his mom’s vote.
It’s a darn shame to see election protests in a Mideastern state.
Maybe we’ll see some in Iran someday.
What the hell?
He’s kidding right?
By the way, PK community- I’d like to apologize in advance for my H button not always working correctly on this computer, but from now on I’m using this laptop. So, if I’m missing any H’s, I apologize.
What the ‘ell?
I was going to say that…. you comment stealer!!!!
*points*
Arrest this person nightstick wielding police officer!
Sorry Guvner. ‘e dinnit mean no ‘arm.
‘es got no arm! poor fella’, don’t be to ‘ard on ‘im. ’tis just a bit gimpy’s all.
Does your phone have any 5′s? Does your calendar have any 7′s?
Go fish.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
What? I’m easily amused.
*snort*
You make me feel really good about myself. Thanks.
LOL this guy looks like Steve Carell in 10 years.
1- You know who this guy is right?
and 2- Only the air. Other than that, they’re not tooo similar
No…they really do look alike. 0.0
he’s always reminded me of those joke glasses with the fake nose (ahmadinejad, not carell)
HAIR* sorry.
I don’t know; I always thought Ahmedinejad bore some resemblance to Carell with a beard, as in Little Miss Sunshine. [link] Not like “ZOMG separated at birth!1!” or anything, but a resemblance to the extent where if you needed somebody to play Ahmedinejad in a movie, Carell’d be a decent option.
I thought we acknowledged that Jake Gyllenhaal looked like Ahmedinejad…. [linky link]
I can see both options. It’d really depend on whether this hypothetical movie was a comedy or drama.
Steve Carell from Evan Almighty maybe?
PURE COMEDY GOLD.
Woah, woah, woah. Hasn’t anyone pointed out the irony in Ahmedinejad doing a peace sign? Or is that the British F.U. sign and I’m confused?
I’m guessing V for victory…
No, the hand would have to turned around (knuckles facing outward).
Plus, no matter what your country’s gesture, any time you flip someone off you get “fvck you” face. You don’t even realize it but you’re totally doing it.
along with a lip curl.. always the lip curl.
Like so (linky-dink).
Yeah, exactly!!
plus, i think the fingers are supposed to be together for the british f-u thing
No, they can be apart. Living in Oz you see that gesture quite often. Especially on the freeways..
Yeah, I’m not sure exactly why he feels it so important to tell the French knights that he still has both his bow-string fingers.
actually, it’s code for his secret service to assault the two ninjas sneaking along the roof.
er… guess that’d be ceiling.. ;P
Maybe he’s confused about the “Live Long and Prosper” sign….
actually i think he got arruond half the votes, since the country is as devided as america (republicans and democratic people)
Actually you aren’t thinking enough if you don’t even bother to read your post, thanks :/
Welcome to our little club. Tyler. I think you’ll fit in nicely!
I’m liking Tyler more and more each day!
It might be time to hand him his official Eddie2000Trollstick… complete with laser sights, night-vision thermal imaging and stun/kill option switch.
i thought we were still using the ones with metal spikes? do i need to upgrade?
those are vintage, i’d keep it
Wait, if I get one, do I lose my “capture and bring to Troll Dungeon” orders?
No, you can use the stun option if you want.
JUST LIKE BUSH!!!
Too soon!!!
When he got home after that news conference, I slugged him. The second voter must have been his mistress.
ROFL!!
awesome! very funny =)
Mahmud Iamdenutjob
HA!
May I steal this from you to use in conversation to make me sound smarter and funnier than I actually am?
Ha ha nice
Is he wearing guy-liner?
I’m not sure, but I do see guy-shadow!
I think he needs a little more concealer for those bags under his eyes.
I think he should stop trimming the eyebrows–his nose needs them fully-fledged for balance of size!
You can’t really be a good evil overlord without bushy eyebrows anyway. What are you going to peer out from under as you watch the torture of your nemesis, or watch your goons freeze him in carbonite? Really, it’s Putin’s only flaw as an evil overlord.
Well, I suppose Putin could make up for it by stroking a cat while watching. Except that might not be nice to the cat. Maybe basement cat can take on the duty?
I can totally see Putin with a Mr. Bigglesworth, gently stroking his head while wearing a ginormous pinky ring. Oh, and a bad ass suit.
Definitely the suit, and the cat. Maybe a discrete, tasteful ring? Putin tends to be a bit on the subtle side… Until he decides to tear you apart with his hands!
No, Viking. He has a giant pinkie ring containing a secret poison dart and a second pinkie ring on the other hand that’s invisible due to the fact that it activates the world’s largest laser defense system and Putin keeps it subtle like that.
putin needs to get “grandma wrinkles” from the real housewives of new jersey. that is one MEAN looking hairless cat.
and no, i don’t watch that tripe, i just read the gossip blogs because work is booooooooooooring.
A cat? Nope, Putin has a tiger, remember?
A tiger is just a BIG kitty!
Nah, Putin doesn’t need something to distract his enemies from peering directly into his eyes while he steals their souls and gobbles their mental health. That would just be unproductive!
Great pic. :p
Although… Every time I see this guy smile, I just want to take a mallet to his head. Bugs bunny style.
lol, but i still looking for the picture where he holds a turkman hat which looks like one these things cheerlader use to wave around.
His mamma still loves him.
Nice guy!!!
Something we can all agree on.
Any kid can learn with some attention and a few well written books. The big thing I learned from school was how to be around other people. Then again, looking at schools these days, I suppose they would learn how to be around other felons…
/bad joke
-sighs and pats the sitting president on the back-
The secret security suggests you don’t make any more jokes THAT bad, sir.
By the way, I’m the only Secret Security member there is here.
politics is such a great divider
Will somebody please make a look a like for this dirt bag? I don’t know how to make them. i think you could find a good squidward to match.
Lol… too funny!
