The school system has many problems. That doesn't mean that homeschooling isn't 10x worse.

  In aggregate, sure. At a personal level, probably not. Just pick whatever works.

    So simple! Why didn't I think of that. The reality is that what homeschooling parents think is "right" is often extremely noxious and damaging. Again, not all of them sure, but a large portion.

      > The reality is that what homeschooling parents think is "right" is often extremely noxious and damaging Yeah, which is why it’s bad in aggregate. But that generally isn’t the case for parents that send their kids to normal school first and then pull them out when things aren’t working out for whichever reason.

  Just because you can point to cases of homeschooling that's 10x worse than the average public school doesn't mean there aren't homeschooling environments that aren't much better, and public school environments that aren't MUCH MUCH worse.

    What a fundamental misunderstanding of statistics. Were you homeschooled? /s
    • CuriouslyC 3y ago
      If you think you made a meaningful statistical statement, your fundamental misunderstanding of language is a strike against any public school that graduated you.

        And original too! -- Let's end this conversation here, this is devolving into useless banter.
