[Beware of Cuccos*]

I guess I could have worded my thoughts better (that's something i've been having a hard time with since I quit smoking).

My thoughts (or experiences from others that i've known) on each of the schooling styles (that I can think of)

Spoiler

Religious-
One-track and close-minded. I'm not religious, but I don't mind faith. But when you deprive children of everything else in the world it becomes a problem.

Homeschool-
Depends on the parent(s). I don't agree with it, but some (very few) can do it right. I feel the kids are deprived of so much, more so than what they gain. They don't learn proper social skills, and it's much harder to make friends as they get older, not to mention while they're still in the school age.

Private-
ALL THE DRUGS.

Private Religious-
ALL THE SEX.

Public-
You have your good and bad, but every kid gets to go through all their phases with each other. There is some bullying, but it makes kids strong for when they get older (it has helped me, crazy as that sounds).

Wait.. This is about formal education church schools? I am not a good reader with headache... In which case, I could care less if the actual required material is taught or surpassed (state wise)

At the moment we're discussing all different types of schooling and how they affect kids, positively and negatively.
