RE: Groovy School Live Worksheet

in The LIFESTYLE LOUNGE4 years ago (edited)

Yes! That's WTF I'm talkin' bout. Blog, baby, blog! I live for this shit. LOL. OK I'm getting carried away. But seriously. I can totally relate to not being able to do everything. I miss spending part of each day perusing blogs and being inspired to write my own. You certainly have a knack for blogging and I appreciate it. As for online classes, I won't do it. I made my way straight through 4 years of college without taking one class online. I need the face to face interaction. I need real time verbal discussion. Half the fun of school, to me, is having a great professor who keeps you interested and fellow students to engage. I'm putting grad school off until I can find the right program and do it all in person and no masks or social distancing. Screw this shit! LOL. For my own kids, nothing has changed since they're both fully unschooled since day one.

I love this comment so it took me some time to answer @movement19,

First I will say, "Thank you for answering the key question. Your answer was dope, but I ain't got no candy for you. There is no Groovy coin or reward for people who participate in Groovy School just like I don't hand out candy to make kid's teeth rotten.

I'm not even going to make a Groovy community, but looking at Mineopoly's blog overtime I see an overall theme: "Liberating students from the iron clutches that have been imposed for more than a century."

I made my way straight through 4 years of college without taking one class online.

Well, congratulations on an education well deserved. There was no internet when I was in school. And "4 years", somehow I thought college was a six year gig. I was sick of the social science BS so I changed majors and graduated in pure science BS. They don't BS in pure sciences until you get to graduate school. And graduate school is the biggest waste of money so you better make sure someone is paying you to study.

For my own kids, nothing has changed since they're both fully unschooled since day one.

How many days old are they? Or are you with the Mark Twain method of education:

"When a child turns 12, he should be kept in a barrel and fed through the bung hole, until he reaches 16…at which time you plug the bung hole."

*Samuel Langhorne Clemens

So are they home-schooled or are you just letting them learn from your example? How is that going?

My kids are 10 and 7 and they are actually unschooled. they have no idea what it's like to sit quiet in a classroom or have to ask permission to do anything let alone go pee pee.

Your kids will have no problem to think for themselves and solve problems in creative ways.

I think waiting in line and following order is something they can better learn at an airport or through a sports team than school.

I don't want to put all the blame on Friedrick of Prussia so I will distribute the blame for the education system mess among all past aristocrats.

Your show starts in 3 1/2 hours from now?

I got kicked out of better colleges than you will ever enter.
