Bad idea. You want kids to socialize, otherwise they turn into the "homeschooled" stereotype, i.e. weird and malodorous.
That was my old opinion on the subject. Tbh I never talked to most of my classmates. The ones I did talk about I don't talk to anymore. You can talk to people out of school, too.
Yeah, but as a child how are you going to socialize if you're homeschooled? You're going to have to get your child involved in lots of extracurricular activities, or hope the neighborhood kids will continue to play with your child after middle school or high school. It's really not worth it unless you're some religious freak like Varg, which it sounds like you are. In that case you might as well send your child to a religious boarding school.
If your kids and the neighbor kids aren’t cooped up in classrooms all the time, they’ll have more time to to socialize, play. Ideally the “home schooling” rout should be more a community schooling. They get out of the house and learn team sports, courage and responsibilities, develop physically and mentally to function in their world, not the pit boss’s at some jobby job
If a subject like math interests them, they’ll have access to tutors who can instruct and direct them to further reading. It shouldn’t take fifteen twenty years of your life to cram these things in their heads
Yeah, but will they if they don't have to? Probably not, unless they're already extroverted, which is unlikely. On the other hand...

Look I probably won't. But in another way, it removes the structure from your life from an earlier age. You won't have your comfy place to make friends in, so you will probably learn to find friends out of school. In the other case, when you are out of HS you have 0 idea how to make a single friend. Maybe a colleague? But that's about it.
Adults don't have friends. They have associates. That sounds nasty and cynical, but friendship is a liability. You can't trust anyone. You shouldn't procreate or engage romantically for the same reason, the likelihood of betrayal by the partner is high.
Most of the people I've known who were homeschooled were well adjusted. It probably has something to do with their parents being high IQ and wealthy enough to afford the time to give their child an adequate education.
Kids turn out this way in public school too; look at the average anime club. The kinds of kids who "socialize" end up picking up countless bad ideas and dreadful habits because of the people they're socializing with. The key is just to not lock your kids inside all day, but create a healthy social world for them through church and/or extracurriculars.
I know people who were pressured into anime "culture". They were into better stuff before that
Best strategy is to send them to school and drop out around 9th grade and take the GED. That way they get the early socialization and avoid the wageslave indoctrination and moral corruption of those years.
You're a fricking idiot.
Eh, I think this largely comes down to personality type.
I grew up playing with two homeschooled kids. I went through public school. They both turned out to be better adjusted than me.
Picture points out the statistics.
>You want kids to socialize, otherwise they turn into the "homeschooled" stereotype, i.e. weird and malodorous.
That is an uneducated statement. Picrel as proof.
>Parent Profession
This is the issue with homeschooling. The average parent isn't a professional in a prestige field, they're a laborer. The average adult in the US reads at 6th grade level (and that's an inflated stat, it's actually much lower). What you're actually encouraging is further polarization and elitism amongst a select group of individuals that can afford quality education (whether private tutoring or direct education by parents using government-issued materials). That's fine, but you haven't solved the problem or really addressed any obstacle regarding education for low SES individuals. To actually make any difference in terms of education, you'd need to implement full-scale adult courses to train parents, and that's not feasible since most parents do not want to teach their children. At all. Because they know that they don't have the requisite knowledge, the time, and they just don't want to spend what time they do have to themselves with their kids. I don't know if you've noticed, but most parents despise their children.
>really addressed any obstacle regarding education for low SES individuals.
It has always been quite simple: don't have kids of you're poor.
But of course proles can't accept that. As a matter of fact, I don't think they even think too much about it. It just happens: you meet a bloke, he cums inside and 9 months later the little rascal comes out of it. Such is life.
Homeshooling is an issue for people who should be able to properly educate children by themselves. If you're a prole, why would you even care? Just send the kid to public school; at least they'll learn how to fight.
That's sad, anon. There's a clear and evident difference in low SES families. There are two types:
>the parents care
>the parents don't care
In scenarios where the parents care, the children are encouraged to do better, to be better. They shouldn't be disadvantaged because circumstances beyond anyone's control negatively effect housing and employment. The parents try and fail, but they tried, and that makes all the difference. Helping a family achieve the education their child wants, and they want for them, is one of the most satisfying things I've ever experienced in my adult life. To actually help someone be more is an amazing thing.
>It has always been quite simple: don't have kids of you're poor.
Stop being such a bourgeois homosexual.
Well, make your little revolution, then. chop chop
I'm sure that's extrordinarily rewarding. Doesn't change the fact that mass public education is and will always be trash.
How do you challenge this? Move poor kids with better prospects - i.e. with a cohesive, caring family unit - to better schools? Stratify society even more? I mean, I'd love to do it, but would progressive educators allow it?
In any case, homeschooling is not for poors. It makes absolutely no sense to provide education in that manner when we need poors (including mothers) to always be available to work.
Read it again, it's better for low income people than public school.
>"homeschooled" stereotype, i.e. weird and malodorous.
So, IQfy?
My neighbor homeschools his kids and they are successful and outgoing as frick. Lil homies just do schoolwork and Bible study in the mornings and just ride motocross all day long.
I did 15 years of school and still ended up as a IQfy incel
I was unschooled. It's pretty based to go through life self-taught but the lack of socialization and only spending time with my dysfunctional family made me a bit eccentric. Also it's unfortunate to not have the ability to learn things like art, music, languages, higher mathematics, and sciences in-person. I think the ideal education system would be very self-directed with tutors available and a strong focus on socializing the students together with things like sports.
This is an issue but sometimes it's better than the alternative. A lot of children are traumatized in the education system. They might be bullied or have some mental difficulty that troubles them. Taking children out of school to protect them from this is good. Otherwise, it's incredibly irresponsible to think you can just lock a kid in some suburban home for two decades and have him turn out normal.
If the problem is socialization, put the kid into clubs. Swimming, horse-riding, languages, music whatever. Friendships made in school are like those made in prison: nobody wants to be there and they have to help each other get through.
I did homeschool for highschool, i did not have any real friends only acquaintances. I don't regret but i think anyone doing it should be aware that it's almost imposible to mantain friendships in the longterm.
Did you family go to church?
School friendships don't last. People drift away, move, or become losers.
is not perfect since your kids won't socialize but I prefer it over lgbt propaganda mental intoxication
There needs to be a loose confederation of non-profit private schools that teach conservatively.
No and yes. There needs to be free people teaching their children creativity, curiosity and independence. Nonprofit but frick this “conservative” idea. That just leads to another captivity.
By 'conservatively' I just mean teaching them the basics without any kind of political angle.
I even prefer the word “traditional” to “conservative”
Lets just call it an actual education in contrast to the indoctrination of schooling

The end all be all of why public school is terrible
Frick that's a long article. Lol. Public School really does fricking suck though so that probably means that article is legit. Going to give it a read rn.
If you want to see a real separation between rich and poor, have illiterate ghetto people home school their kids
I think it's a good idea if you are rich because then you can afford private tutors otherwise no. Parents aren't more qualified than teachers and even if the parents themselves are teachers, they are only qualified to teach one subject, two at most.
Ah yes my favorite author, Homer Schooling
I was partially home-schooled. My dad was a professional adventurer and didn't give a shit about "convention," so he was always telling the school "I'll be taking Anon to the Amazon for a month. Bye!" Then they failed me and made me repeat the 4th grade because apparently missing two and half months of school is not okay. So my dad found out what was required to get certified as a home schooler, and from 4th through 8th grade, I was like half-time public school, half-time home school.
It kind of sucked, because my dad didn't believe in "weekends" or "summers," and so school was kind of a 24/7, 365 days a year, thing.
I think about this a lot for my nephew.
I hated public school and was just thinking today about how those experiences made it harder for me to enjoy adult life.
I'd love to homeschool some of my child family members but I'm also stuck wage slaving 40 to 60 hours a week just to afford a place to live. I couldn't rely on pay from my family members because their financial situations are even worse.
Homeschooled anon here. AMA. I think I turned out ok, other than posting here.
Joggers shouldn’t be schooled anyway
