    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.
