Homeschool is such a blast; most of my kids are night owls like their dad, and we get our best ideas after nightfall. And this is feasible; being unbound by the constraints of public school normies.

So they get actual school science credit for building hydraulic arms & claws out of cardboard, popsicle sticks, syringes, tubes and hot glue - after sundown. I’d probably give my eye teeth to have had the same opportunity as a kid.

@jeremiah @KingOfWhiteAmerica kinda both.

Public school is the worst.

One place where most people will deal with actual violence in their lives.

@ins0mniak @KingOfWhiteAmerica same. I had a break in the middle at a private school (think hippies, not hogwarts or prep school) that really turned up the contrast on the issue.

I see public education as the defining fundamental evil of modernity, and if I had a magic wand, its first use would be eliminating all public schools in North America and every politician that supports them.

@jeremiah @KingOfWhiteAmerica In DC its been remarkable. The charter school movement has mad night and day differences for kids here.

the unions hate it for obvious reasons. Simple reality is those charter kids are going to colleges or otherwise succeeding where as a lot of those kids stuck in public one are out stealing cars...not even joking about that.

The crime here is almost entily kids skipping school and doing awful shit.

@ins0mniak @KingOfWhiteAmerica my brother and his wife were public school teachers, and quit for similar reasons. There was only so much bullshit and gay rainbows they could take.

The kids that can speak in complete sentences that I know these days are homeschooled. Public school kids are stupider for going than if they'd stayed home and watched anime.

@ins0mniak @KingOfWhiteAmerica if you read a good biography of Thomas Edison, he was already in business at 13 making about $50 a week, which in today's money is around $2000 a week.

School wastes incredibly important years; not just for gaining experience, but for building a nest-egg and establishing one's self and one's reputation in the community. It's missed opportunities for apprenticeship and networking with capable people.

It's confining the majority of one's relationships to similarly young, immature, dissociated people instead of connecting with the community one lives in.

It's great for creating the temporary tribes of youth, and diasterous for passing on traditional skills and knowledge.
