Homeschoolers

tonyamanda said:homeschooling is a good idea for kids like my son who have no idea "how" to interact with anyone.. hes fine in the classroom but has problems playing with other kids so when he comes in after lunch he is frustrating and it disrupts his learning.. i would consider home schooling just for my son in the future if he continues having problems socializing cause i don't want him to feel sad and upset that he can't make friends..

Interesting I've never seen a test that goes even remotely that high..
What kind of IQ test was it?

Because its a discussion forum? The topic has just stimulated a related debate, is that such a bad thing?

this is a good debate with (so far) no flaming or spamming. It's not often something like this comes around
Anyhow, im interested in the IQ thing like Skarteh, but i think he was kidding.
I've never taken an IQ test...

An issue I thought I might bring up is Unisex schools. I had a friend that lived in Sydney, going to an all girls school, paying 5 digits a year, and her parents retired up here.
She became an insanely close friend of mine, but truthfully she just couldn't handle a co-ed school! She couldn't deal with guys, and had trouble adjusting simply because there were children that actually had pretty crap lives. It's interesting how the kind of "perfect-world" thing really hit hard (and my schools easily the best in the region).
She did tell me though that she's glad because it makes her appreciate how lucky she had it.
In the end she moved up north a week ago to go to Boarding school at another all girls rich school

Research shows students learn more efficiently as single-sex schools - look at Melbourne High or Mac.Robertson Girls, for example.

Yep

I don't really like to say that, I prefer to say my IQ as a raw number.
