I have a few memories that my parents have placed at around me being 2. I would say they have also remained through repetition, but in my case not active or voluntary. Those memories, although very vivid and specific (I can pinpoint them as

There has been a considerable increase in speech delays and disorders after 2020. Some of that is related to lack of diverse socialisation (watching/hearing different people talk) but also caused to masking. Not being able to watch the

Isolation is not a requirement in home schooling. It can happen? Yes, it's a risk. Can the opposite happen? Yes, I've seen it personally. My home schooled nephews know and are known by everyone in their village and surroundings. S

My point was not clear. What I'm saying is that often it would be better for a certain profile of people to not be forced to attend what in my country is mandatory secondary education, and that it would be better to put them to work on

Thanks to ubertaco for the neat response point by point, but I don't think any of your points are relevant, even if they are true. I know a couple of big-scale farmers in the US. They are Christian, and believe in Creation. That doesn&

Young-earth creationist, as in "God created everything from scratch in 7 days". There are many scientists out there that believe in that. They are not scientifically ignorant, they just believe different stuff from you, which, min

Lucky you. I've seen quite a bunch of the opposite. But then you do whatever you can to move on and find another job with a better atmosphere. Sadly, it wasn't so easy as that with school.
