I have never seen a home schooled person who wasn't a complete shitshow.
That's because the ones who aren't keep it a secret.
Seriously. I was homeschooled K-12, but in real life I only mention it when asked, and it feels embarrassing.
IMO the only time homeschooling makes sense is if your mom is a teacher that became disabled or something and it was more practical to teach you at home.
Otherwise it's just a huge waste of time and missed opportunity to make friends and learn social interactions
They're already putting the Ten Commandments in schools, and they've been strongly encouraging "under god" for decades. It already makes sense to opt out for irreligious reasons, depending on where you live.
I've been un-teaching my kids the police propaganda they all get at school. It's less work than home schooling and helps teach them to question everything, I suppose.
that's exactly it, you're letting them get exposed to the problems and helping to correct them. That's setting them up to be more critical thinkers throughout their life. It's like a mental vaccine.
Yeah, we don't have homeschooling in my country, it's just not allowed and I feel like most people would assume you are mega weird. I'd automatically assume some brainwashed maga cultist flat earther anti vaxxer.
I'm pretty sure every country allows it under special circumstances. For example I know a girl (European) whose parents were circus artists and she got home schooling during the long periods where they were touring internationally. It's just not allowed to homeschool for no reason.
That is probably true.
I was homeschooled and like to think I am only half a shitshow, whilst unapologetically and enthusiastically supporting Harris and Walz.
*Important context, my entire immediate and extended family is far-right, including my mother who did said homeschooling. She and my brother were at Jan 6th and, I suspect, were in the Capitol. Though I have not found them on any videos.
If you want to keep her off the radar dont say another word
At this point that's probably all the people they'll charge for the 2021 January 6th. They've got to get ready for the next one in 2025.
I was homeschooled K-12 and I'm definitely a shitshow... But at least my parents were just hippies, not Christians
I've never met a hippy home schooled person. Just fundie trash.
Just gotta know where to look. Pick up hitchhikers that look like Joaquin Phoenix. And have names like Joaquin Phoenix.
Same. Pretty worried about my niece whose parents are anti-vaxx, Christian, libertarian types.
A good friend of mine was home schooled, but they did high school in the public school system. Which probably is what made the big difference in how they're a well adjusted person.
