I've already graduated one child from homeschool, and if this Cr*p intensifies on the removal of parental rights, etc, I'm going to give my 12-year old an early GED, pass her and graduate her from home school early.

I've already experienced "parental exclusion" when enrolling my son in early college program. My underage son was invited into the career counselor's office and I was told that I needed my son's PERMISSION to sit in the office.

This infuriates me. I have a feeling if the rapture doesn't happen soon, some of us are going to be begging for His return!

Yeah, but you know how your feelings change after you take your meds.

I notice that you uphold the standard your son can attain. Although, most people would wish that their offspring may achieve more than themselves. But I understand that there's not much hope of that in your particular case. In fact, it's a no-brainer to assert that your children will achieve your level of education. In other words, your children will be as stupid and dull as you are. Future sources of hilarity and mocking. Ha ha ha!

Oh, by the way, any news yet on the predicted persecution of the Rapture Ready site by the black President of the USA Barrack Obama? It's been quite a while, you'd think it would've started by now. Oh, and while I'm at it, any news on the predicted Whooshfest?
Ha ha ha!

There's no short answer for that, every state has different homeschooling requirements and sometimes more than one legal option for homeschooling. I'll focus on California because I know the law here best, and because it nicely illustrates the multiple options available.

Some parents opt to use a private "cover" school that offers supervision and advice, testing, etc and will issue the diploma. Conlara and West River are popular programs with a great deal of flexibility to choose one's curriculum, Calvert is more of a distance learning system with fixed assignments, and is another popular option for high school students.

Public home-based programs can be similar to private cover schools, but generally are less flexible on the needs of children whose abilities or interests differ widely from grade level norms. In my experience expectations in these programs vary widely but are frequently neglectfully low. As public programs, these generally offer diplomas indistinguishable from those of conventional public schools.

The private school (or R4) option permits the home school to register as a private school and meet typical private school requirements. These schools can issue their own diploma if legal requirements are met. Nothing distinguishes this diploma from that of any other small private school.

The final legal homeschooling option is to use a qualified private tutor. I'm not sure what the deal is with a diploma is in this case, as I've never even heard of anybody actually using this option. Even if one were paying a tutor, filing the R-4 is less of a headache.

GED's don't work that way. You don't get to hand them out, you don't get to decide if your kid passes or fails. It's a state administered tests, not a kit you can buy from CostCo.

Have you even thought about how much damage this could do to kids future? Have you considered it for even a second? A kid who is "graduated" from homeschool at age 12 has little or no chance at getting anything better than the most menial entry level jobs and little hope for any serious carrer advancment. But you didn't think about that, did you? Seems to me that you are too wrapped up in yourself, oblivious to the harm your actions may cause, indifferent to other peope because it's all about you, how you are being wronged, how you are being persecuted, how you want to get raptured and go straight to heaven. I could not find a bit of concern or compassion for your kids in your entire post.

Keep trying to sabotage you kids education and they will be the ones doing the begging, while you will still be waiting for the rapture,

So you're upset that the ::snicker:: "early college program" ::snrk:: "career counselor" treated your son as an adult? What is the world coming to?! It *must* be TEH RAPCHUR!

By the way, get used to it -- long before I turned 18, thanks to *long* years of counseling and many, many doctor's appointments to treat depression & anxiety, I knew that professionally, and legally, what I said in the office *stayed* in the office, until *I* said it was okay to bring Mom into it. Hell, I *still* take Mom with me to the *really* important doctor visits. Like when I found out I have Hep C. Christ, I spent the next *year* in and out of the office, the lab, various scans, a fucking liver biopsy, finding out that, no, I just have to fucking *live* with this because there's only a 50% chance of the *treatment* working, and due to the common side-effect of severe depression (fucking interferon!), and my history of depression, they weren't going to *try*! So here I am with a potentially FATAL disease, and all they're going to do is "monitor my condition"?! Meanwhile, the pain meds I'm on have the potential to cause fucking LIVER DAMAGE! Does anyone ELSE see the problem, here?!

You're goddamn right I wanted my Mom with me! But the point is, IT WAS MY CHOICE TO BRING HER IN TO THE OFFICE.

Why? Because legally, everything I say to my doctor, short of threats to harm myself or others, STAYS BETWEEN ME, AND MY DOCTOR. For the doc to bring my Mom into the office without MY PERMISSION would be not only unprofessional, but ILLEGAL. She can't even send information to other doctors without MY FUCKING SIGNATURE.

Good GOD, Ruth, your son is becoming an ADULT -- most parents would be HAPPY about that. Worried, too, of course, but fucking HAPPY.

Oh, and you *can't* just randomly "graduate" your kid and give her a GED -- there is a test for the GED, and I suspect you haven't taught your crotchfruit anything outside of Teh Buybull. I suggest you put her in a *real* school, where she can actually learn something useful.

It's people like you that give homeschooled children a bad name. You oppress and manipulate your children into your twisted ideology; denying them access to different interpretations and viewpoints under the guise of "religious foundations" or whatever the fuck you want to call it.

My little brother is a homeschooled child. My family is impious, and my brother is very, very socially inept (high functioning autism, among other things)and can barely tolerate being away from his parents for ten minutes. While in was in general school, he would misbehave. Every. Single. Day. He goes to school half of the day, now and when he comes home, his instruction is continued. By his sixth grade year, we hope he'll be able to fully adjust to a full school day.

Your actions, you cunt, make people believe that homeschooling arises from the need to oppress children. Fuck you. If there were more people like you giving homeschooling a bad name, it may cease to exist. How dare your actions deny my little brother (and those like him) the right to be educated in a way that benefits them, as opposed to their parent's flawed ideologies.

Fuck you, you stupid bint.

1.) I suggest you turn off your T.V. (or at least away from Fox News) and your A.M. talk radio now!
2.) Like everyone before me has said, a G.E.D. is not something you award or give out. The G.E.D. is given by a government given diploma through a test given to 16-18+ year olds depending on which state you live in.
3.) Your kids are growing up and you need to let them become independent and self reliant. You need to stop being such a "helicopter" parent before they really resent you and abandon you in a nursing home.
4.) Hey, doesn't it say in the Bible that no one knows when Jesus will return and that He will return when he feels it is appropriate and not when RRuth on RaptureReady does?

- He didn't return when Emperor Diocletian was tormenting Christians
- He didn't return when the Vikings raided Christian villages and monasteries
- He didn't return when Orthodox Constantinople was sacked by Western Christians
- He didn't return when the Muslims invaded Spain
- He didn't return when the Anabaptists were being wiped out for the sin of making the Catholic Church look bad
- He didn't return when the Catholic Church began torturing suspected Protestants
- He didn't return when the Protestants returned the favor

But surely he will return to make sure that you can horn in on your son's appointment with the school guidance counselor.
