But those younger might think twice about dating and/or limits to set if they do date!

The concept of courtship is being put to practice especially within homeschool families.

Courtship is not a new practice, but rather an old one that is proven to be tried and true.

Homeschool kids are NOT like other kids. Studies show they are even LESS adjusted when they leave home. They may be "good kids" but they are "good kids" with issues.

'Home school kids are not like other kids' Correct and Praise the Lord

Studies show they are even LESS adjusted when they leave home Less adjusted to what? to the world? angain i say Praise the Lord

They may be "good kids" but they are "good kids" with issues. This is stated as if no homeschooled kids dont have issues

With in my family i have seen good home schooling and extremly poor home  schooling.

Since you made this statement:
Studies show they are even LESS adjusted when they leave home.

I'm asking you to back it up....  ::) YOU made the statement; YOU prove it!
What studies? Who did the studies? When were the studies done? Where did you read them? Who told you about them?

Have you ever heard about citing your sources?


Feel free to search the web for socialization and homeschooling.

I have. But thanks for the permission!  ;)


Ironically enough, you claim to have read studies to the contrary, but do not post a link either.

You expect me to disprove what you haven't proven? Now that's an interesting take! ROFL!
Not so ironic, though, when you realize that you proved nothing that needed to be refuted..... The true irony would be making a statement and not being able to back it up. Hmmmm.... But I'll assume you actually know what you're talking about.  ;D So with that in mind, let's go back to the original question: What studies?

By the way, if you can't prove it, just say so and we can move on.... ;)

Tibby, I can't decide whether you amuse or irritate me most.  ;D

Is it really so hard to say that you just spouted off and don't really have any basis for your statement (except for anecdotal)?  ::)

And in case you overlooked what I thought was obvious; I DID refute your statement... anecdotally, of course!   So there was no irony for you!  

"It is foolish to answer a question that you do not understand."  G. Polya

Ah dear young Tibby.... ;)

As the Bronse rule says: Prove unto others as you would have them prove unto you. Why are you the only one who gets to be anecdotal? I DID post in this thread first

The Bronze Rule - LOL! Let me explain this s l o w l y  :P
You made the FIRST comment that needed to be proven. And, as a generous gesture, I DID post some 'proof' from studies.  ;) All the other was just you blowing smoke.... ::)

As you’re buddy Sincereheart was saying, I’d like to see these stats in writing. From an unbiased source. If you can’t post facts from an unbiased sources, don’t try to crucify me for the same thing.

Pssstttt, Tibby.... Psalm119 DID post a link. A source. A reference.
You didn't.... BIG difference!  :P

you have spouted off about something you know absolutely nothing about.

This would be my contention, also..... Or as ebia says;
;D

Studies show they are even LESS adjusted when they
leave home.

...adjusted...?
 
Adjusted to WHAT?

The world?

Yeah, right.  *Adjusted* to the world.

Not a very good yard stick by which to measure an education--so that I'm "adjusted" to the world.

Ok, I get what you are saying now. I remember this from middle school. Your pulling the old “I asked you first” move. No, I did not cite a source. But then again, neither did you. It is a little hypocritical to tell someone to cite a source, and then not cite one yourself. You want me to cite? Then you cite.



I meant an unbiased source. I thought I made that clear because I used the phrase "unbiased source."



Well, at least you finally cited something. I guess it is my turn now. As Voltaire's famous saying goes: "A witty saying proves nothing." Your turn again.

Anyways, this is fun, but let me know when you want to stop bashing and get to debating, ok?



Nice to know Gnosticism is alive and well in good ol' CU.

Nice to know Gnosticism is alive and well in good ol' CU.
A bit Gnostic, don't you think?
Is that... No it can't be... I think I hear the Gnostic Train coming!
Vulcans are Gnostic.
 I think you are being way to Gnostic, but that line was just to funny.
Maybe Jack Chick should have a tract on Gnosticism, it might be enlightening.
If you think these Gnostic piles are truth, you need to seek the lord for better discernment.
I don’t know, all this Electronic Chips and Nuclear War Theory just seems a bit to Gnostic for my taste.
Looks like people are more into reading poorly written, Gnostic propaganda with a cheap escapist plot then reading a quality piece of literature that has changed the lives and mindsets of people the word over!
Are, as good little Gnostics, should we just not die?
All the heretics running around, Gnostics, Arians, televangelists.
Yeah, and pretend like I, in my Gnostic posts, know biblical prohpecy and understand it at the infallibility level?
There is a little but of Gnosticism in a few of the members, but you will find most are generally open to new and interesting Sceintific data.
No, you will be told not to box everyone else into your weak Gnostic definitions of the World.
Besides, if the world really is going to end, mocking the Gnostics is all I have left
Is the word Gnosticism in that post somewhere?
Oh, look, their it is again: Gnosticism.
Nice little bit of Gnosticism he has on his profile.
Unholy heresy, Batman! It’s Gnosticism!
Oh look! It is a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Gnosticism!
Did I see the word Gnosticism in that post? No? Oh, look, here is it again: Gnosticism.
Yeah, Sapph, the Left behind series is an entertaining read, but a bit on the Gnostic side.
Some of them have board-line Gnostic dourine, other are down right insane.

Apparently, you still don't get it - but that's ok. And actually, it's more college level. If you make an absurd statement, then back it up. And you can let go of saying I didn't cite a source, I did- in another thread to avoid continually derailing this one. And no, what's hypocritical is to make a bald statement that you can't back up and then shift to ANYTHING but that...

I meant an unbiased source. I thought I made that clear because I used the phrase "unbiased source."

And I thought I made it clear that you STILL haven't posted ANY source! You're playing this game because you got busted! You made an ignorant statement and can't back it up so you're trying to distract from that.

Tibby, How many 'jobs' have you had? I don't mean lawn-mowing - I mean those kind where you show up when scheduled and get a regular paycheck? Are you supported or self-supporting?

Anyways, this is fun, but let me know when you want to stop bashing and get to debating, ok?

Bashing? You seem to say that a lot when someone disagrees with you. Is it really bashing? Or are you just so used to having your way, that you can't handle it when you're shown to be in the wrong?

So I've posted some 'proof' for Tibby here:
http://forums.christiansunite.com/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=2763;start=msg41519#msg41519

You claim their are studies, but you can't seem to post them.

 ???

Links and/or references were posted....

 ???

However, logic would dictate someone who doesn’t get out much doesn’t get a lot of socialization done.

Logic would dictate that those who are out in the community around a wide range of people would be MORE socialized than those that stay in a group of peers all day....  ???

No, normaly I say that a lot when people make it a habit to attack me, as you have.

This isn't the first time you've accused me of this. Where have I attacked you?  ???

Smile, put on a happy face. No need to get so worked up over something that someone you haven't even met says.

Uh Tibby, you haven't in any way changed my life or affected my joy......  ???

Yeha, the 12-15 time was rough. "I'm just a Kid" by Simple Plan did a great job of capturing the pain of this age in the lyrics. Such a painful age. Before you can drive, just entering your true Teen years. Starts at 12, you are not a true teenager yet, but you are surely not a kid. And that just keep going for the next few years. The good part is, it is a small step in making you the person you are. If you don't dovelp a "lone wolf" complex, that is.

"Oh, all my friend are hanging out at the club, and I'm not. No big deal, I don't really like them anyways"

Ah, good times, good times.

Tibby, do you set out to be deliberately insulting?  
And with all your wordly wisdom at what age? Oh yeah, 19.  

sincereheart, What is the matter with it? Do you set out to deliberately be a complete jurk? I was reminiscing the hard times I had at that age. It doesn’t take a genius to agree with Tom, and add on to what he said by talking about your own experience, just a few short years ago. Honestly, what is your problem, sincereheart? I didn't think someone would get offended by a simple post, but I am truly sorry that I did.
^Willow, Take note, that is what I'm talking about^

Yes, now find me a group of people who ONLY spend time with their peers, and we will talk.

Here's a really simple test for you..... Count up the hours spent in a regular school day, plus any outside school activities, plus travel time (school bus, etc.). Then add sleep to the list for the average public school student. That would be the time spent with peers. Now subtract that from the 24 hours that God has given us. What does that leave?
I'll give you an example: Here, the bus picks up at 6:30 a.m. and drops the kids off at 4:15 p.m. That = 9 H 45 M. Add what? 9 hours sleep? That goes up to 18 H 45 M. Let's be cautious and add only 1 hour a day spent on outside activities (for the younger that might be playing with friends, older might be after-school activities - whatever). That comes to 19 H 45 M. That leaves 4 H and 15 M that the child is directly influenced by the parents. Of course, out of that time the child will be doing homework, etc. so that total time is not directly influenced by the parents.

But just back to the time directly spent with peers = 9H 45M
The time directly spent with family  =                      4H 15 M
More time IS spent with peers! Logic would dictate that who you spend the most time with is who would have the most effect on you.

Who was calling names? BTW, it's spelled 'jerk'.

Who 'snapped out'? Who 'attacked' whom?

Not your Joy, just your temperament.

ROFL! If standing up to mistruths is temperment, then so be it......

Thank you, Ollie! I've wondered that myself. But not just here...

From Tibby:


 :-X

Hmmm, this IS interesting.  Did you compiles these, sincereheart?

Nice work.  Thank you.  That's a little bit of work.


What's the deal, Tibby?  Care to respond to this?
