My experience..... If your primary peer group are all your age, then I see it as soaking in a pool of collective ignorance.
I think it more important to rear a child to be strong within themselves,........ That I knew how to play the game well doesn't mean that I liked the game or wanted my child to have to sink into it.
... Public schooling, even in the primary grades is bog-awful for smart kids. Boredom, enforced silence, mandatory sitting for hours, kindegarten homework, school mandated ritalin, the inability to pursue your curiosity for more than a short period of time if at all, the interminable busy work, the ongoing public embarrassment for the kids who don't get it as quickly, the push to acquiece to authority that may or may not be worthy.
.......
....Schools are geared for one type of learner - auditory learners. Those kids who can retain much of what they hear in class. ........ Kids with different learning styles aren't accommodated in a group schooling situation.
......who carry the psychological scars of the socialization they incurred.
