Why Homeschooling is Better than Public Schooling




My name is Jayme, and I believe homeschooling is better than public schooling. There are many reasons why homeschooling is better than public schooling. For example, freedom of religion, being able to teach your child what you think they need to know, and avoid teaching what they don’t, and being able to let your child have some freedom. No kid needs to sit for an hour and a half, getting a lecture on something they could learn in 10-20 minutes, and what about family time? If your child is at school for 6-7 hours, you are never going to see them! Especially if their teachers packed  a load of homework on your kids.

If your child goes to public school, he or she is most likely going to be taught evolution as fact. But what if your family doesn’t follow these beliefs? Your child will be taught a different mindset than you, and that could turn into a mess when they come home and tell you that they learned that humans evolved from monkeys. It is better to homeschool because then you can teach your children the beliefs you feel they should know.

Or what if the teacher decides that it’s a good idea to have their students spend a week, learning every single detail about the Pig War? Is it really important that your child knows the name of the father of the man who owned the pig, or the wife of the man who shot the pig? It is better to homeschool, so you can teach your child what you feel they need to know, and don’t waste time on the things that are no longer important.

And what about the hours your child will spend, sitting and getting lectured on one topic or another? Most of that time is probably spent hunched over a desk sleeping! And that means they will most likely get a detention, and have to spend even more time at the school! If you are homeschooling, you the teacher get to decide how much time they spend on each topic.

And when your kid gets home, most of the time they either lock themselves in their room to do homework, or they flop on the couch and play a video game until 10 PM. You are never going to be able to see them, or have a conversation that doesn’t involve school. So, in many ways, it is much better to homeschool than to send your child off to public school.

Top 10 DC Heroes







Hi! So I finally came back after a long wait, sorry about that,
But, for with my return, I also bring another top 10 list! For some of the DC Heroes I currently know about. Please note that a lot of characters on this list will be from Young Justice and Legion of Superheroes.

Please remember that this is only my opinion, and that I don't know about EVERY DC hero that is out there, these lists are based off of characters I know, from shows and movies I have watched.

If anyone who reads this knows what 'DC' stands for, could you comment and tell me? I've been trying to figure that out since I first watched the original Superman movie, one of the first DC movies I ever watched.

Top 10 DC Heroes
10
Number Ten on the DC Hero list is Triplicate Girl, from the cartoon Legion of Superheroes
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WesternAnimation/LegionOfSuperHeroesTriplicate Girl is an amazing character, she has the powers to split into three different people, and thanks to her Legion of Flight ring, which Brainiac5 invented, she, and her copies, can all take flight. She is a member of the Legion of Superheroes, from the 31st century, and was introduced in the first episode when the Legion was waiting for Brainiac5, Bouncing Boy, and Saturn Girl to bring in Superman from the 21st century to help them stop the Fatal Five. I like this character because she always tries to do what she can, and never gives up, even when in Season Two, she loses part of herself, and has to become Duplicate Girl.

Number Nine on the DC Hero list is Beast Boy, from the cartoon Young Justice (Invasion)
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/YoungJusticeTheTeamSeasonTwoBeast Boy was first introduced in Season 1, as Garfield Logan, he and his mother lived at an animal sanctuary in Qurac. After being injured in an explosion, Miss Martian was able to use her shape-shifting powers to change her blood type, and give him the blood transfusion he needed. Later, at some point between season 1 and season 2, his mother died, and he was taken in by the Team. he also began to develop shape-shifting powers, due to his martian blood, and his skin, hair, and eyes were turned permanently green. Unfortunately, his shape-shifting powers are limeted to animals only, which is the reason for him taking on the name Beast Boy.
I like this character, because even after all that he went through, he can joke around and have fun!
8
Number Eight on the DC Hero list is Superboy, from the cartoon Young Justice
Superboy


Superboy is one of the founding members of the Team. first introduced in episode 1, of Young Justice. He is a clone of Superman, but also has Lex Luthors DNA, which helps him not be as aggressive as the first attempts to clone the man of steel. but, because of the human DNA, Superboy is unable to fly, nor can he shoot lasers from his eyes. as a side effect of being a clone, Superboy does not physically age, so he is stuck looking like a 16-year old until he dies. For the entire first season, up until the Finale, Superman absolutely hates the newly created Superboy, and avoids him as much as possible. But, during the finale, the two make amends, and begin to get to know each other. by Season 2, SB has not only a hero name and an Earth name 'Conner Kent' but a Kryptionian name 'Kon-El'. His powers include Super-Strength, a Super-Leap, Info-red Vision, Iron-like skin, and he also has small Psychic Powers, as a side effect of being a 'Geno-morph' Clone of Superman

7
Number Seven on the DC Heroes list, is LEGO Batman, from the movie LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes Unite
 In the Movie LEGO Batman: DC Superheroes Unite, Batman must team up with Superman, and the rest of the Justice League to stop Lex Luthor, who has allied himself with Joker! One of the best scenes in the movie, the scene that put LEGO Batman on this list, is the scene where he and Superman trick Luthor and Joker by switching costumes, and pretending to be affected by the Kryptonite and the shipping container that they threw at the duo. Batman may not have powers, but that doesn't make him any less of a hero. in fact, it makes him stronger, as he doesn't have an easy weakness like Superman or Green Lantern, who have Kryptonite and the color Yellow as their weaknesses respectively. And Batman is always ready, just in case any of the Justice League turn evil

6
Number Six on the DC Heroes list, is  Artemis, from the cartoon Young Justice
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Artemis_Crock_%28Earth-16%29  Artemis Crock, AKA Artemis is the third protege of Green Arrow, the first being Roy Harper a.k.a Speedy, and a clone of Roy who started as Speedy, then later changed his name to Red Arrow. Artemis made her first appearance in season 1 of Young Justice, posing as the niece of Green Arrow, but that was a lie, as later revealed in season 1, Artemis's real parents are the ex-con Huntress, and the villain Sports-master, and her sister, is the assassin, known as Cheshire Cat. but despite her family, Artemis was able to choose the right path, and later, at some point between the two seasons, she and Wally West aka Kid Flash retired, and began dating. Artemis, like the BatClan (Batman, Robin/Nightwing, Batgirl/Oracle, Robin II/ Red Hood, Robin III/Red Robin, Robin IV/Batgirl II/ Black Bat, and Robin V) doesn't have any powers, but her strong bow and large supply of arrows make her a formidable opponent

5
Number Five on the DC Heroes list is Impulse, from the cartoon Young Justice (Invasion http://youngjustice.wikia.com/wiki/ImpulseImpulse, AKA Bart Allen, is the grandson of Barry Allen, also known as The Flash from about 40 years in the future. he traveled back in time, to make sure that his horrible future never happened. this hyper speedster always tries to keep things 'Crash' so that nobody has to 'Feel the Mode' for in his words, it's always better to 'Crash the Mode' like his grandfather and cousin, Impulse's power is Super-speed

4
Number Four on the DC Heroes list is Superman, from the cartoon Legion of Superheroes

Superman-lshThis version of Superman was taken from Smallville, the night before he would go to Metropolis. He was found by Brainiac5, Bouncing Boy, and Saturn Girl, who were looking for him, to see if he could go with them to the future, and help them stop the Fatal Five. he stayed with them for the entire first season, and at the end of the finale returned home, at the same moment he left. 'Just in time for chicken and dumplings' but during season 2, when a Superman clone from the 41st century appears, Superman is called back into the Legion to help them assist Superman X from preventing his disastrous time-line. This version of Superman's powers include: Super-Strength, Super-Flight, Laser-eyes, Freezing Breath, invulnerability, and X-Ray vision.

We're in the top Three now, the third on this DC Heroes list is...
 Superman! From the four movies
 http://www.cosplayculture.com/article/amazing-evolution-superman-celebrating-over-75-years-suit-steel The Superman Movies portray one of the best versions of Superman that I have ever seen. In the first movie, we get a look at how Superman became Superman, and met Lois Lane, and had his first major battle with Lex Luthor. In the second movie, Superman has to face off against three Kryptonians, who were banished, just a few months before Krypton exploded! This Superman fills up to the nickname 'The Big Blue Boy Scout' as he will help anyone who needs it, even if it is merely a cat stuck up in a tree. This version of Superman's powers include: Super-Strength, Super-Flight, Laser-eyes, Freezing Breath, invulnerability, and X-Ray vision.

2
 Number Two, we're almost to the best of the best (In my opinion) Number two in this DC Heroes list is....
Miss Martian, from the cartoon Young Justice
 http://www.writeups.org/fiche.php?id=5335Miss M, the niece of the Martian Manhunter, and a White Martian, is the mind reader of the team, literally! Her powers include flight, invisibility, mind-reading, density-shifting, and shape-shifting! Miss Martian, or M'Gann M'orzz (Megan Morse) is a large fan of Earth TV, and loves to try out recipes from different shows she's seen. she based her earth form off of a character from a show she used to love called 'Hello Megan' she also based her personality off of the show's main character, going as far as to even slap herself in the forehead and say 'Hello Megan' whenever she realizes something.

1
Number One, the DC character who, in my mind is the best of the best
 While Miss Martian was a close second, the hero who deserves the title of the best of the DC world is Brainiac5, from the cartoon Legion of Superheroes!
http://losh.wikia.com/wiki/Brainiac_5 Brainiac 5 deserves the title of number one. For many reasons. One of them being, that even though all of his predecessors, the Brainiacs 1-4 were villains, Brainy worked hard, and became one of the greatest heroes on the Legion of Superheroes. He moved away from his home-planet, and removed himself of the Coulan hive-mind, and studied in New Metropolis. After his invention of the Flight-Ring, he was accepted into the Legion of Superheroes, where he took on the name 'Brainiac 5'. Brainy has a 12th level intelligence, which is something he constantly feels the need to remind his fellow legionnaires, as they constantly question whether his projects will work or not. He is 95% robotic, and the remaining 5% is Kryptionian! So it is no wonder why, when the Legion needs help, he instantly thinks of the 'ancient' Kryptionian hero, Superman. One of his other inventions, the one he used to transport Superman throughout time, is the Time-Bubble, which allows one to go back and forth in time!
