Then we changed it to \"ripped off\" and it was still demonetized. We clicked the button to have it reviewed by Youtube. They cleared it within a day or two and it still isn't even up to 1000 views and it's over a week old. Not sure why they say that thing about 7 days 1000 views since they cleared ours so quickly. Did your video get sorted out? I sure do hope so. :)",

If our own experiences in school weren't enough to convince us, our time as teachers certainly put the nails in the coffin of ever sending our kids to school if we had the power to teach them ourselves!\n\nMy best students  were always those who were transitioning from homeschool-to-\"normal\" school.  They knew how to speak to adults (an increasingly rare skill??), they had their own identity, they didn't always fit in (not a problem, in my book), and they handled their own learning with a sense of responsibility that a lot of my other students lacked.  It was hard to watch them struggle in the often vicious social environment of middle school.  Some prevailed and got a little tougher, some went back to homeschool, and others lowered their standards and became part of the cliques.",

I believe the public school system is set up to stagnate free thinkers and teach students to be complaint to authority figures. \nMy grandmother was a community school teacher. Each community paid for the teacher, the curriculum, and built the one room school house or used the community church during the week. She stopped teaching some twenty or so years after the public school system was established. \nIf I had known back when my kids were about the age to start school I would have chosen home schooling over public or privet schools.\n\nThanks for posting!

      "body": "We both went to public school back in Upstate New York. I went to a huge school that had about 700 students per grade and Doug's school had only about 100 students per grade. We are no noobs when it comes to public school! When we had children, we knew that we were going to homeschool them.  We made a list of 10 reasons why we homeschool. There are more, but here are just 10:\n\n**1: Bullying**\n\nThere is a LOT of bullying that goes on in the public school system and we simply don't want our children exposed to that. Bullying is a terrible thing to happen to anyone, especially children. It can totally ruin a person for a long time, even for life.\n\n**2: Bad Influences**\n\nThere are a lot of public school students who are bad influences, and no matter how good your child is, some bad habits could be picked up by them. It could be swearing, bad music, wanting to dress a certain way that we don't agree with, drugs, etc.\n\n**3: It's Our Responsibility**\n\nWe feel like for us, it is our responsibility to teach our own children and not push it onto other people.\n\n**4: Public School Has Different Values**\n\nWe have values, and the public school system just doesn't match ours. We don't like how it is set up or how it functions.\n\n**5: We Don't Let Anyone Watch Our Children**\n\nWe don't trust people watching our children, which is why we have never had a babysitter. So shipping our children off to public school to be with bus drivers and teachers who we don't know all day is not something we are into.\n\n**6: Better Education At Home**\n\nContrary to popular belief, we feel that we can give our children a better education at home. We can help our children one on one. In a public school classroom there are 30 students and rarely does each student get one on one help. Each child learns different ways and at differing speeds and at home you can cater to that. In a public school, students are forced to try to learn the same way.\n\n**7: We Hated Public School!!**\n\nSince we both hated public school and dreaded going there each day, why would we send our children to a place that we hated?\n\n**8: We Know Exactly What Is Being Taught**\n\nIf we were to send our children to public school, we wouldn't really know what they are being taught in each class all day. There are many things that are taught in school as fact that should not be.\n\n**9: Spending Time With Our Children**\n\nSince we homeschool, we spend the entire day together. We are a family that likes to always be together so sending our children to public school just doesn't work for us.\n\n**10: Public School *Could* Cause Social Anxiety**\n\nThis is obviously debatable. I have read online about how people feel about homeschooling and something I see consistently is that \"children need to go to public school to be socialized and if they are homeschooled, they won't know how to interact with others and will be anti-social\". As I said earlier, Doug and I both went to public schools for our entire schooling years. Neither one of us are good at social situations, so going to public school didn't help. In fact, we feel like it made us worse at being social. I am extremely shy and awkward and I feel like it is mostly caused by how weird and embarrassing school was. I hated doing speeches in front of the class, which unfortunately seemed to be all the time. That is what I hated most about school. Public school is an unnatural setting and it does not help with socialization. Our daughter has been fully homeschooled and is super social to children at stores and the playground. She is not shy at all. She goes up to children and they either ignore her or run away from her, and it's a pretty good chance that those children attend public school. This is just our experiences and observations and is also based on other adults we know of who went to public school who are also socially awkward.\n\nIf you are planning to move and want to homeschool, keep in mind that each state has different homeschool laws. In the US, homeschooling is legal in all 50 states, however some states make it extremely hard for you to do so like New York, Vermont, and Pennsylvania. Some states are very free and make it easy to homeschool like Indiana, Missouri, Texas, and Idaho. Here is a map from https://www.hslda.org/laws/ for a visual:\n\n![homeschool states.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf1MKsmQGuQa6ZsFTznr2rW9SmzmnyfEPBGQkiwTUZArZ/homeschool%20states.jpeg)\n\nWe were asked by TheTexasBoys to be a part of a collaboration on Youtube to talk about why we homeschool and how we homeschool. In the video we go over these 10 reasons and we also talk about homeschool curriculums.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV9pRlIIpdo\n\nTheTexasBoys Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkns4vMbwYwinCrZX8JwAig\n\nTheTexasBoys Steemit - https://steemit.com/@texasboys",
