lets be real now.
The number one important thing for happiness and success in life is to develop a good emotional and social intelligence.
This is even more important than IQ.

How does one develop social intelligence?

How does one learn to play the piano?
Ride a bike?
Play chess?
Play basketball?
Pick up chicks?

years and years of practice and exposure and learning from your mistakes and developing muscle memory and prefecting your "art"

now, how can a child learn to "socialise", "read non verbal cues". "learn body language" "learn social skills"

IF they are not exposed to socialisation over and over and over and as much as possible in as many different settings as possible.

common sense says that to be schooled by your mum as opposed to being schooled by 1000 other humans you "socialise' with, just has to be an inferior learning process .

IN fact I read the biography of one famous scientist who was home-schooled until 8 and when he went to school suffered social difficulties from just that reason. The name is James Clerk Maxwell, the 3rd most important physicist in history and someone that Karnal is unaware of even exists.

You're right. I am. Can you show where he exists in the NSW science curriculum, dear?

Maths and Physics. Duh!

Sorry, dear, James Clark Maxwell is not in either of these curriculum.

Quote:

Home schooling parents are closely watched by the Dept. of Education.

Home schooling parents don't have to do a thing. Home-schooled kids are supervised by a Board of Studies home-schooling teacher. They have regular phone contact to explain the work and do all the marking.

All the parents have to do is prepare a work space and get their kids to knuckle down.

Maria would know all this, of course. I'm sure she has as much knowledge of home-schooling as she does with the NSW Maths and Science Curriculums.

The experience my friend had was a little more intensive than that.

Maybe it's different in different states?

Yes, the Board of Studies is in NSW. The Department of Education and Training need to approve home schooling at the district level. In NSW, there needs to be a long-term plan for the student to re-enroll in a DET school wherever this is possible.

Home-schooling for religious reasons is a different criteria, but is still supervised by the Board of Studies.

Maria would know all this, Mother. She comes from NSW too.

Sigh....

1. The word is superseded.

2. In physics and maths you're taught various schools of thought and you're reminded of their contribution.

3. Whilst here, do you know anything about passionfruit vines? Do they need to be cut back at all? I did cut back my choko vine after it finished producing chokos, and it's now growing back with a vengeance. I'm assuming I need to do the same with my passionfruit vine? Yes or no?

Ok..... you can all resume fighting now Roll Eyes

I remember being taught something about Maxwell’s equations but can’t remember if it was Leaving Honors (5th year HS) or Year 1 Physics. Wasn’t a big deal.
