The cartoon says it all. Like they say, a picture is worth 1,000 words.

Max Barry’s dystopian novel _Jennifer_Government_ placed schoolchildren in corporate-sponsored schools. If I recall correctly, the kids even took the sponsor’s name as temporary surnames. (As adults, they would use their employer as their permanent surname, of course.)

Going into stereotyping doesn’t really fit. I post here regularly. I believe one of the greatest threats today facing both freedom and government is the corporation. Worse that those lines are blurring and both corporation and government are beginning to get the same mindset. Guess what? I’m American.

But the facts are:

Microsoft is successful to the extent it is because it is protected by a copyright law that locks up software ideas for about 100 years.

It has nthing to do with Micrsoft being a well run company. It’s all about monopoly.

Eventually, anyway, schools will Linux or other open source software. After all, why pay for what you can get for the acual cost to produce, nothing.

This is what happens in america. people are selfish and take gifts for granted. They beleive that everything from the corporations is good from the heart, but in truth they are evil. People don’t find anycorporations evil. Most even believe the MPAA and RIAA are government organizations. Its scary that they will allow themselves to be governed by corporations. The fears that have been during the filiming of “Dr. Stangelove” have come true and people are not realizing that, its disturbing. They beleived at that period that corporatoins such as “Coca Cola Company” where going to control america, yet its the media industry.

I’ll pass on your first sentence and on your second, our daughter’s best friend is at traditional school, as are some of her other friends. They hang out every day.

She also spends plenty of time with other home schooled children who, not at all incidentally, aren’t confined to specific age groups. This means they’re able to interact comfortably with kids ranging from toddlers to teens. And of course, they’re with responsive adults 24/7. Altogether, this gives them outstanding social and communication skills.

Apart from that, I’d lay money on the fact that you haven’t had much, if any, exposure to home school families.

Cheers!
Jon

This is a stupid article. I hate annoying opinion shorts like this, especially by people who suffer corporate paranoia. Believe it or not, the whole world isn’t dumber than you. Everybody sees the advertisements and it doesn’t make us brainwashed.

PS Homeschooled children end up alienated and alone when they because they don’t learn any social skills through school. Spending every day with mom and dad makes it difficult to survive in the real world.
