 Post subject: question about the DuPree kidsPosted: Fri Jun 16, 2006 10:01 am 
So I know they were all home-schooled, but I'm not really sure how that works. Did Boyd and Kim make up assignments for them or did a school give them weekly work? And if the school gave them work, did any of the kids participate in a graduation ceremony? I'm home-schooled, today is my school's graduation and I'm not walking and I was just curious if the DuPree's did or not. This might be a question only Kim or Boyd can answer... I don't know. _________________ I know how I was born and I know that I have no choice. I know it may not show on the color of my skin, but I know it’s in my heart and in my soul. –Sara Quin |

If you're homeschooled yourself how are you not aware what you just asked?(not including the graduation part) _________________

I think they were technically schooled by correspondence if I remember correctly. _________________ Scriptozoology, a screenwriting blog .. Facebook |

Yep. It also depends on the state a little bit. Because of differing regulations regarding private schools, etc. _________________ forget the dead you've left. they will not follow you! -bob dylan |

I'm on what's called "Independent Study" where I meet with a teacher once a week and he gives me a week's worth of homework and some tests and then I take that home and come back the following week. So it's a little different. _________________ I know how I was born and I know that I have no choice.

Its an incredibly deep and interesting topic, is homeschooling. I personally think its beneficial, although most parents do not know alot about certain aspects you get taught in school due to the variety of subjects. They also do not have the resources. Although it does broaden the childs mind for they have more freedom! _________________ Hi, I am a jolly old British lad. Whom is a Photographer. My Avatar contains one of my photos.

why is it beneficial? You get the same education (or better) through schooling plus the social skills and people interaction needed later in life _________________

It's not usually the parents that do the 'teaching'. I've never come across a homeschooler who's parents sat them down and taught them. For me, at least, I can't imagine my parents giving me grades.  especially today, there are so many resources that you can use to study on your own- a skill that's useful if one goes to college.
Also, I think it's a little sad that some can't imagine getting involved in anything without a school's help. Getting connected on your own is very easy. _________________ Delmar O'Donnell: Oh, George... not the livestock. |

Me and my 4 siblings were all homeschooled our whole lifes. And I mean completely homeschooled...my mom sat us down and taught us. Or in my case, since I'm the youngest, my oldest sister did some of the teaching. About 6 years ago, we got involved in a one day a week type of school. I believe it is incredibly beneficial, personally. I got to graduate when I was 16 and so hopefully I'll have my Associates Degree by the time I'm 18. To me it just seems like so much time is wasted when you sit at school for so many hours every day of the week. ...sorry if that went a little off topic _________________ But for now we are young Let us lay in the sun And count every beautiful thing we can see |

Beneficial in the way that dreams and aspirations can maybe be more atoned to and developed rather than stay at a school that again offers too much variety and often just glances over subjects rather than delves deeply into interests! _________________ Hi, I am a jolly old British lad.
