  Why and How Home-Schooling is Better then Public School

  I'm a home-schooler and I've been hearing about a lot of disasters and bad things that happen at public schools so I decided to make a rant about why and how it's better for kids to be home-schooled. First, I'll tell you about what bad things happen at School.

  First, I've heard that when kids are bullied, it makes them not be able to do as well on their work and when they bring home a lot of homework, it also makes them not do as well but when they are home-schooled then they are safe from bullies and they can do their school work at home any time.

  Kids are also safer being home-schooled because it seems like kids at School are more likely to be killed and/or sexually assaulted by any bad teachers that are at the School plus some kids bring hidden weapons and such then kill other kids with them (although it has been taken care of at some schools as I've heard.) One more thing that makes School a dangerous place is school-bus crashes. Yes, I know it's a risk riding any vehicle but it's better when the kid dies with his/her parents in a crash since if they died in a school-bus then their parents would suffer severe depression from losing their kid. Back in February, I heard about this one school-bus crash and four of the students died since they didn't wear their seat-belts and it broke my heart when the reporter was saying their names and ages while having the photos of each student shown and having sad music playing in the background. That report was so depressing to me that it's been bugging me for a long time.

  Anyway, good ways to home-school your kid is to have them watch at least one hour or less of something that teaches them stuff and then they can do math pages, read about history and such. and there are also some good video games for various systems (the PC and the Nintendo DS generally) made to teach them stuff. There are also some good sites online that teach kids stuff like Cosmeo and I just read on tesh.com that there are virtual schools online. Anyway, that's all for this rant. Seeya next time!

  I give credit to Fox News since they reported some of these bad things that have happened in schools and I give credit to John Tesh and his site tesh.com for some of this info on School.

  My Favorite Sonic Cartoons in Order

  I felt like listing what my favorite Sonic cartoon series are in order and giving them a description why since I've been a Sonic fan for a long time so here's what I think of them.

  The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog

  This is my favorite Sonic cartoon because it's hilarious and it can be pretty cute at times. I grew up with AoStH and I used to watch it every night on Toon Disney until the time changed. Even though it doesn't have any rings, it's still more like the games then any of the other DIC Sonic shows since it's actually featured stages and badniks from the games and has Sonic and Tails together like in the games.

  Sonic the Hedgehog (AKA SatAM)

  This is my second favorite because it's got an interesting plotline and it can also be cute at times. The charactors are very enjoyable in this one and it's got alot of fun adventures. It references the games some since the charactors besides Sonic, Tails and Robotnik are based off of the little animals that Sonic frees and how it features power rings sometimes.

  Sonic Underground

  This one is has an interesting plotline just like SatAM does and the charactors are still enjoyable but it's still not better then SatAM. Unfortunentally, unlike the other ones, it's barely like the games and Tails isn't even in it but it's still a good series and I love that they featured Knuckles in it.

  Sonic X

  This is my least favorite since it's not really as enjoyable as the other ones and the featured human charactor, Chris has most of the screen time in the first season plus 4Kids gave it alot of bad edits and voices making the english version terrible. The Japanese version is still good but still not as good as the other Sonic cartoons. The best part of it is how it adapts the games sometimes and it's got songs playing in the background at special times like in other anime series.
