I recently read an article saying that the number of homeschooled children was on the rise.

Since were all going into baby mode...

How do you want to educate your children?

Public if it's a good school. I certainly don't mind where I'm at now, and we actually have better overall test scores than most private schools in the area, so I'm kind of biased.

Private would be nice if I had the money and public wasn't a good choice, as I want my kid to learn multiple languages at a young age and be very accelerated (hopefully my future kid(s) would be very smart, or at least hard-workers)

As for homeschooling, I don't want to be a teacher and I don't want to make my kids live the life I want. There's such a thing as too much involvement...

Homeschooling is a very good way for children to get good educations, IF their parent it willing and able to teach. I have always been homeschooled and by the time I got to middle school I started to pretty much teach myself using the curiculum my mom buys.
That said I really hate homeschooling now. I think in elementary school it may be a pretty good way to tach cildren but to me it seemes that puting childern in regular(public or private) schools for middle school would be a good thing because then they could interact with more people rather that just being at home all the time.
Also there is a big difference between homeschooling and unschooling, I just wanted to say that.

My sister home schools her kids, we have mixed feelings about that. However she has decided to bring up her children in the outsides of normal society and wish to develop them naturally.

This means that the children do not have any norms of society that they have to follow and can dictate their own lives.

However this also means that all 3 boys have long hair and are rather nocturnal.

But at least my eldest nephew got his black belt in Tai Kwon Do at 11. The 8 year old is already a green belt.

I'm pushing my sister to get the 4 year old into hockey, however she says that the sport of hockey is too violent and dangerous for her likings.

All things considered...

I used to do live steel combat. So really I am totally desensitized to violence. 1 part stunt show... 1 part martial arts expo and tourney.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76rQv6Emaf4 <--- look for the guy in yellow and black checkerboard leggings. And if you're really lucky you'll see a blonde haired Neuf.

I'll explain the rules later. NOW STOP ASKING WHAT I LOOK LIKE!

Nice throw! I spotted you. You stand in the background a lot.

I've experienced 2 of these. I spent about 9 years in a public school. it was pleasant enough, if a bit standard. If you can afford the extra gelt, and your children have potential, I'd go for boarding school. My brother is going back to a public school, though, as he makes as much effort as... my brother.

Did you show your face? I couldn't see the upper half because the yellow/black leggings were simply dashing.

whee

And what was that guy saying to you at ~0:48? He looked like he was trying to annoy you or something.

I'd post a video of moi, but the only one on YouTube of me (that I know of) involves a few lagers and me singing Violet Hill - Coldplay, while dancing in the mirror.

There's a little bit at the end where you can see me with a bad blonde dye job and you might hear my voice at the very tail of the video.

Wait? You have facial hair? Lol.

The dialogue is awesome in the credits.
"Play the thing about the battleaxe!"
"Noo, probably Bob-sh*t!" (In revision... "probably DOG-sh*t")
"Eww! Yuh!"-"Possibly!"-"Yuh!"
"Right that's our show see you later!"

Public schools.
I don't really have a reason, I just think Public Schools will be better for my children.

We both lost our weapons which means we hand to end the fight with gauntlets or retreat back and get more weapons, hence all the wrestling.

He was taunting me to throw a punch so he could get an opening to take my block off.

I believe that fight ended with a mad dash to get more weapons and then he womped on me cause he could run faster.

Sounds like fun. The closest I've ever gotten in fencing, which is slightly less... brutal? At one point in that video I could see you standing over two guys and one seemed to be trying to rip the other's head off via punches.
