• Myth of SocializationI think the problem is that you believe homeschooling to mean locking a child at home and never letting her go out to talk with people. That's not even remotely true. Studies have shown, contrary to your claim, that homeschooled children can and often have…
• Socializing as a homeschooled kidI think one of the biggest misconception about homeschooling is its debilitating kids' social skills. I don't think that is necessarily true. Socializing with kids is not the only way of socializing as lots of anti-homeschoolers seem to think…

• I read the article you sourced. It says teachers encourage girls, rather than disregarding them. The article I posted says why men are less likely to be teachers. The reason is difference in general personality between the genders. Your idea of why is speculative and wrong.…
• 1. My opponent makes the argument that boys perform at lower levels than girls because of hormones. I would like to propose a more likely reason: teachers. Men account for less than 25% of teachers (1). Both males and females are of course better suited to teach their own kind,…

• Ok, I know that students can't get a job 15 or younger. I agree that 15 or younger shouldn't be allowed to get an after school job, but since that topic didn't mentioned the age, I assume that underage students are excluded.I agree that students should have an after school job…
• I agree that all students should have an after school job because they can learn how to be independent,. In this way they can know if they have mistakes, they need to change it. This can build up their responsibilities of themselves. This way students can earn money. They don't…

• Yes, bullying is an issue, but you"re wrong when you state it is dealt with quickly. "Each day about 160,000 students miss school because of bullying or because of their fear of being bullied. The sad fact is that every 7 minutes a child is bullied on the playground. Adult…
