Jacob's Mo

I'm strongly considering home-schooling my child. What benefits are there vs public or private schooling? Do you find that you have better control of your kids (discipline wise)? Do you find that your kids have better manners?

I really need some honest opinions. I went to public school myself and hated it. Please no mean comments.
*Also how early do you start homeschooling?

Answer
Hello My Friend!

Benefits?:
(Almost TOO Numerous To Write them all)

Intellectual QUALITY~
Creativity~
Getting them to Think For Themselves~
Parental Bonding~
Developing Social Style~
Flexibility~
Academic Achievement~
Dance, Art, Music & Drama are Focused on~
Martial Arts~
Yoga~
Swim~
Sports~
Building a Strong Character~
Effective Use Of Time~

& Probably THE BEST Benefit?

*Keeping My Kids AWAY From Despicable,
Negative, Moronic Students in The System.
The schools are filled with "GANGSTERS" !!
Most have NO Social Style!

Feedback:
Make certain you join a Home-Schooling
Network in your County. Every week we planned
Major Field-Trips. We went to Museums,
Musical Concerts, Plays, Movies, Toured
Manufacturing Facilities, Picnics, Nature
Reserves, Aquatic & Beach Excursions &
Toured major Universities & Colleges.
Keep your kid around OTHER Smart Kids
who are Homeschooled!

We went to Libraries & Hospitals.
Volunteered at The American Red Cross,
& many Service Organizations. Toured an
A.S.P.C.A. Animal Shelters. Etc.!

Almost ALL Home-Schoolers have much
more Emotional-Intelligence & are VERY Well
"Mannered" !!

When do you start?

The DAY your baby is born!
READ To Them!
Play Classical Music to them.
Sing & Dance with them!
Build Leggo Blocks with them.
There are reading Programs for babies now.
At about 6 months a baby can READ!
(Public Schools? They Graduate 17 year olds
who CAN'T Even READ a Sentence!)

Good Luck!

It's the BEST Decision I EVER made!

Read Maria Montessori's Biography!
This woman was a Century AHEAD of her time!

You are a SMART Woman!

*Beware of Parents from Public Schools!
They will NOT Support YOU! Do you know
what they will actually say? "Your Child will NOT
know how to act Socially~ if they are Home-
Schooled! This is FLAWED Thinking on their
Part! The OPPOSITE Is TRUE!

Almost ALL Home-Schoolers
are MUCH More Socially Sophisticated
then the Gangsters in Public/Private School!
The Network Provides a Powerful Tool
in the Developement of your kid!

That's my take my friend!
Do I make any sense?
Have I given you any ideas?

PS: "Religious-Homeschoolers"?
I personally preferred the "secular" Networks!
But ...... to each their own!

Where should i go surfing that is near shelter island, San Diego?

Clayton M

I am going to be staying at Shelter island, San Diego and I would like to know where would be a good and close place to surf. Preferably with small to medium sized waves.

Answer
I would take a quick drive to Ocean beach, Mission Beach, or Pacific Beach, or anything north of there. Any of the beaches, instead of the harbor, which is where shelter Island is. The further north you go, the better the neighborhoods get. I would not go to OB or Mission beach at night; too many gangs. They are fun spots and very pretty, but go during the day, as there are too many party kids there. Locals call Pacific beach "PB" Ocean beach "OB" and Imperial beach "IB" etc. But don't go to imperial beach; too far and too close to mexico, so you get the sewer releases in their waters-- too close to home here in the US. Have fun, and good luck.

How old should we reach in order to be a volunteer for a pet shelter?

beach shelter image

I'm 12 and i want to be a volunteer for Humane Society in Huntington BEach. But i'm afraid that i'm too young to be a volunteer. Does anyone know about this? I'm kinda experienced with dogs. I used to have 2 dogs in the past so i know how to take care of dogs. And can anyone tell me what a VOLUNTEER does? Walk the dogs, feed them, bathe them, take care of them? Please help

Answer
Minimum age at the Orange County Humane Society in Huntington Beach is 18 years of age: http://ochumanesociety.com/custom_content/c_88885_pawticipate_volunteer_programs.html If your parents consent, it's possible that your family could volunteer as a foster home. You would take care of animals that need extra TLC until they are able to be put up for adoption.

What are the differences between a beach and a "headlands and bays"?

Ayumi

Please list as many as you can think of. (It is revision for my geography test tomorrow. 10 points for best answers)

Example:
Beach are formed by deposition but headland and bay are formed by deposition and erosion.

Answer
A headland is a point of land, usually high and often with a sheer drop, that extends out into a body of water. The word is often used as a synonym for promontory. A headland is often referred to as simply a head, either in context or in names such as Beachy Head or Koko Head. Gibraltar is a headland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headland#List_of_some_well-known_headlands --------

Headlands and bays are often found together on the same stretch of coastline. A bay is surrounded by land on three sides, whereas a headland is surrounded by water on three sides. Headlands are characterized by high, breaking waves, rocky shores, intense erosion, and steep sea cliffs. Bays generally have less wave (and often wind) activity than the water outside the bay, and typically have sandy beaches. Headlands and bays form on discordant coastlines, where bands of rock of alternating resistance run perpendicular to the coast. Bays form where weak (less resistant) rocks (such as sands and clays) are eroded, leaving bands of stronger (more resistant) rocks (such as chalk, limestone, granite) forming a headland, or peninsula. This difference in the rate of erosion is caused by differential erosion. Refraction of waves occurs on headlands concentrating wave energy on them, so many other landforms, such as caves, natural arches and stacks, form on headlands. Wave energy is directed at right angles to the wave crest and lines drawn at right angles to the wave crest (orthogonals) represent the direction of energy expenditure. Orthogonals converge on headlands and diverge in bays which concentrates wave energy on the headlands and dissipating wave energy in the bays. In the formation of sea cliffs, wave erosion undercuts the slopes at the shoreline and they retreat landward. This creases the shear stress in the cliff-forming material and accelerates mass movement. The debris from these landslides collects at the base of the cliff and are also is removed by the waves, usually during storms where wave energy is greatest. This debris provides sediment, transported through longshore current for the nearby bay. Joints in the headlands are eroded back to form caves which erode further to form arches. These gaps eventually collapse and leave tall stacks at the ends of the headlands. Eventually these too are eroded by the waves. Wave refraction disperses wave energy through the bay, and along with the sheltering effect of the headlands this protects bays from storms. This effect means that the waves reaching the shore in a bay are weaker than the waves reaching the headland and the bay is thus a safer place for water activities like surfing or swimming. Through the deposition of sediment within the bay and the erosion of the headlands, coastlines eventually straighten out then start the same process all over again.More....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headlands_and_bays --------- A beach is a geological landform along the shoreline of an ocean or lake. It usually consists of loose particles which are often composed of rock, such as sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles, waves or cobblestones. The particles of which the beach is composed can sometimes instead have biological origins, such as shell fragments or coralline algae fragments.

Wild beaches are beaches which do not have lifeguards or trappings of modernity nearby, such as resorts and hotels. They are sometimes called undeclared, undeveloped or undiscovered beaches. Wild beaches can be valued for their untouched beauty and preserved nature. They are most commonly found in less developed areas such as Puerto Rico, Philippines, Thailand or Indonesia.

Beaches often occur along coastal areas where wave or current action deposits and reworks sediments.More............ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach
