you are actually going to claim Einstein was home-schooled?

I'm not claiming anything, I just copied a list . This is what they had to say on the subject of Einstein

Like many creative geniuses throughout history, Einstein was largely self-educated. While it is common knowledge that Einstein had difficulty in school, and although technically he wasn’t actually homeschooled, Einstein self- taught himself in every sense, particularly in the field of mathematics.

So he wasn't home-schooled at all. That's a big admission given the topic was home-schooling. And using one of the greatest minds of the last century as a typical example was always going to be an epic fail.

try to focus dopey, which of those on the list, or their parents , were troubled?

You and Lisa haven't destroyed anything. It's mostly just been a competition between the two of you to see who is the most rude and obnoxious ... with you making outrageous claims and Lisa heckling from the sidelines like a hyena.

Home schooling is a viable option for some people ... and it can work very well.

Well it generally doesn't work very well at all and is always a second-rate option leading to second-rate outcomes.

You have evidence of that claim i take it?

'Maria' ~ this is your bold and unequivocal assertion:

Quote:

Home-schoolers are without exception, 'troubled' people.

'Without exception.'

To which you have shown zero evidence.

Have you provided any evidence that all home schoolers are "troubled people"?

You are simply making an assessment built on your own prejudices.

Actually, I am basing them on my own experiences and that of the reports of various education authorities around the world that tend to frown on the practice. You of course base you opinion on simply finding my own and disagreeing with it.

Don't flatter yourself. You are disagreeable without the influence of my predilections.

So you are asking me to accept your anecdotal evidence over the anecdotal evidence of my own experience and that of other posters in this thread who claim they are witness or even participants in successful home schooling?

No. Afraid not.

Ah language and how it can be misused and misunderstood.

Mind you, I am still to see a stellar example of home-schooling. No one has produced one although the board's anti-Einstein (johnsmith) tried to claim that Einstein was home-schooled.

Indeed it can be misused. Never use always when you mean generally.
