> ignoring the religious indoctrination
Although this is correlated with homeschooling, the movement is much larger in 2023. Also remember the alternative is state or corporate indoctrination. When I think about all the ridiculous ideas and fads I was taught in public school, maybe it wouldn't be so bad to leave childhood with some stories about Moses and Abraham instead.
- hef19898 3y agoI am with John Stuart Mill when it comes to education: Free choice for everyone, with the state setting the minimum threshold when it comes to curriculum and quality. Modern US homeschooling does not comply with that idea, as there are no standards today.
