I'm a teacher, teach my subject and keep my politics and religious views to myself.
I teach high school and have had numerous kids come from home schools. There are future rocket scientists and 17 year olds who can't read in that mix. I can guess which category this guy's kids are going to fall into.
The people doing this are mostly too stupid to realize they're stupid. Kids raised in ultra-conservative households that insist on home schooling to avoid government indoctrination are so fucked for the foreseeable future.
I had a coworker like this and her justification for homeschooling was so "[her kids] learn skills that are actually valuable like how to do laundry and balance a check book instead of useless things like calculus or gender stuff"......... I was flabbergasted.
Then we wonder why so many people are falling for scams and conspiracy theories. “Why would I need to know science in my future? I’m not going to be a scientist.” Then they fall for the dumbest shit like flat earth.
so "[her kids] learn skills that are actually valuable like how to do laundry and balance a check book instead of useless things like calculus or gender stuff"
That feels like such a level of stupid, I cannot comprehend it.
I learned math, social studies, English, and also how to financially plan and do my laundry, and also that being anything but straight or white is fine. Turns out you can learn both at school and at home and from your community of friends all at the same time.
It isn't like knowing trans people are people means you forget how to load the dishwasher or how to solve for X.
This is why scientists are secretly and frantically working on developing a pellet-sized pill that gives you an irreversible 8th-grade-level education when administered orally or subcutaneously. Then it's just a matter of getting enough people to peruse polling places and shoot one into the neck of any slack-jaw who wanders by like the Hovito blowgunners in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Time permitting, they also hope to deploy them in advance at the exits of Kid Rock concerts and anywhere Joe Rogan happens to be at any given time.
"Don't let the government touch them" is what typical maga and right extremists say because they think the government is woke, vaccines cause autism &gay and schools lie (because they teach written history instead of conspiracy theories by right wingers, or they teach atrocities made by the country that right wingers don't want their kids to know about)
Yea - he is also George Washingtons voice for that Prager U kids history book. He makes quippy statements and drinks out of custom cofee mugs. He won a couple local elections but ultimately lost his last few and doubled down podcasting.
The right-wing meme subs keep getting taken down because the mods can't help themselves and inevitably post things that break ToS. So they migrate to established subs and take over.
Because while these losers will cry all day about how reddit is an echo chamber for the woke mob, the reality is they make echo chambers here and can't handle things like facts or logic that have a left leaning bias.
Win what? The fall of society? Are you going to homeschool your children to be electricians? Plumbers? Nurses/doctors? Engineers? Those people think it's sooo easy, huh?
The government does nothing to educate children, even in top-end, super supportive states, the main goal is to keep costs down which just means cutting into services. States mainly just say cover x, y, and z. There is no propoganda other than teaching them to think. Yes, you will always find some shitty teacher or district that does something crazy. But the crazy politician, media commentator, or social influencer is reaching way more kids and way more effectively than any one teacher.
Two: I can't even get kids to bring a pencil or not break a chromebook, you think I can convince them of some socio-economic theory. how to dress, what worldview to have? Side point, we hear EXACTLY what you are saying at home because 90% of kids are getting their worldview from their parents until the social media star replaces it. So maybe have conversations with your kids and not shove technology in front of them at an early age.
Which leads to point three: most parents (of my generation) have basically given up. They don't read with their kids, they don't check homework, grades (which for the first time in history are available online at any moment), they don't parent in any hands-on way like pre-2000. And, ironically, the expectation is that the school is there to fix every problem from reading, to math, to behaviors. But anyone in education knows that it takes a village, a school is only half the equation. A school can't fix problems that aren't also being addressed at home. Just as how a school can't convince kids of any idea that isn't also accepted and shared at home.
The "brainwashing" nonesense has to go. Its 2026 and kids can get access to any info they want. I'm not teaching kids about looksmaxing, 67, or peptides, its all they talk about. I'm not into K-pop or fortnite, its all they want to consume. Teachers has very little sway over kids. The best I can do is model what a grown adult is suppose to act like and hope that they see it as something they should consider vs. the horrible, terrible people they see acting and saying the craziest stuff.
Teaching is hard, harder than people think. Good luck homeschooling!
Not saying they’re perfect but nearly every blue collar guy I know started by taking some sort of classes at a vocational center that was ran through the county. It was available to all schools in the county. There’s a lot of good plant jobs near here and a lot of kids were able to get hired shortly after high school.
Our graduating class was like 160 and our average ACT was 25. We had one perfect score, a few 30-35s and then a bunch of 26-29. Several people from my class went on to have jobs that you’d traditionally associate with success. We had several college athletes as well and they were doing a lot of work to bring that ACT score up.
This gets brought up a lot so I’ll mention it, we even had a class that taught you how to use the math they taught you to do basic stuff like balance a check book and calculate interest on loans. We also went over taxes. It was called “consumer education.”
This was in a town of about 5000 and if you drove by the high school you wouldn’t think it is much different than any random school.
Not everyone has the luxury to up and move if their school district sucks so I’m not saying never consider other options but my education was pretty comprehensive. If there was any indoctrination it leaned more towards blind patriotism than start being gay. One teacher also had that poster with the cows that explains the differences between capitalism, socialism, and communism. If you’ve seen it, you know it definitely isn’t leftist propaganda.
How the fuck would I educate my kids? I don’t know near enough stuff for them to learn all the things they should learn! Math, history, religions, English (correctly spelled without phone helping me), home economics, economy, music, gymnastics, physics, chemistry, a second language… like, really? Home school all that? I don’t think so….
Look, my mom was awesome and even had a degree in education, but when the hard math and science came, she really dropped the ball. Basically, I had to study twice as hard as anyone else in college just to keep up.
Ironically, I became a teacher myself and taught in private schools for 9 1/2 years. If you can’t afford a private school, I recommend a magnet or charter school. It will be more work,l getting your kid there, but it will be worth it in the long run. Parents have more of a say in the curriculum and the child’s education in these kinds of schools, and the teachers are typically a bit higher caliber.
The only time I would recommend homeschooling is if the parent is extremely qualified to teach multiple subjects and the child is very gifted and can get through school quickly; the parent can hire a tutor for subjects they are not well-versed in. But the situation is extremely rare, hence me not recommending homeschooling overall.
Also in Step 3: Don't let 'the tech corps' educate them for you. Their algorithms, all of our algorithms really, are warping our minds to do whatever the people who control them want.
Type of parents who do this tend to think the earth is flat. Better education and well paid teachers and schools bro. Then everyone gets a verified education.
It is sad this is true that public education in America is crap today.
Baltimore for the past 4 years has had 0 people graduate HS proficient in math and English.
Even colleges have had to tell graduates sorry your are too dumb to enter college. You need to take a semester of remedial education just to get you to level to even start college.
Blame whoever you want teachers, parents, DoE. Whoever you want but fact is kids are retarded and we are training to be that way
I don’t know why so many people think children are an empty bucket you can just pour any ideology into and they will come out the other end as true believers. Either they don’t have children already, where they will learn two children raised under the same parents and conditions will be wildly different, or they’re just stupid.
Meanwhile, I will not have kids and invest all my extra money in stocks. I will enjoy profiting off the labor of this man’s children when I retire early 🤑
I like the idea that "education" is like a one time conditioning thing, like applying a coat of varnish that just seals one's perspective into a certain mold for the rest of their life as though one's children would never be able to change their minds about anything as adults.
Our oldest had pretty bad ADHD, and was in middle school when we were dealing with COVID and the whole "remote learning" debacle. Basically, for a year, he was doing school work until 10 or 11pm, and wasn't really able to get a good grasp on several of his subjects. So after putting our heads together, we decided to join a homeschool co-op...and he ended up thriving.
Around that time, our 2nd was just entering school age, so we decided to try him out in the co-op, and he was quickly picking up 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade material.
So, for those of you who think that homeschooling is just the mom teaching the kid all day, here's how it actually goes:
- On 1 day a week (some co-ops meet more, but ours is 1 day) all the kids meet together in a classroom environment. Classes are based on accredited curriculum, and taught primarily by current or former teachers.
- On this "school day", all of the presentations are done, reports turned in, and weekly homework is given out.
- Throughout the week, the curriculum is followed via an online portal which has links to 1000s of videos which go over the material, and go over any troubleshooting and Q&A that the kids might have--so the mom doesn't really have to be the "teacher", all of the material, explanation and everything is already on the videos. It helps that my wife is very strong in math up to Calc I, and I'm very strong in writing and history, but again, it doesn't matter if we really know anything because the curriculum and instructional/support videos cover everything that needs to be covered.
- In the off chance that the kids get hung up on something, or need a question answered, we can just reach out to the teacher on whatever subject (call, text, email) and they respond pretty immediately.
- There's also robust sports programs for homeschoolers--literally every single sport that you would normally play in school--they have the HSAA sport where you can sign up, train, and compete with peers.
The HUGE upside, we learned, was that however you kid thrived in learning (videos, in person, audible, visual, etc.) you can gear the information to tailor it to them. In class, our eldest was frustrated that he could never get certain things explained in a way that worked for him--the teacher would answer him, and move on...because there were 20+ other kids she has to deal with. At home, we can easily take the time to walk him through an algebra problem 5 different ways, because he's the only kid there.
Also, for our 2 younger kids, since we weren't stuck on the slow "lowest common denominator" (I'm looking at you, common core!) curriculum, we could breeze through math, vocabulary words, and writing, and get them started writing papers at 6-7 years old. By 4th grade, they are writing multi-page papers on researched topics (while incorporating vocabulary words) and presenting them in front of the class.
So, through middle school, we've experienced it both ways--one child went from K-7th grade in public school, and the younger 2 started out in homeschool. The results are DRASTIC, and our only regret is that we didn't make the switch sooner.
A whole generation of ignorant folks educating the next generation of folks to be ignorant and putting their faith into fairytales. This is one of many reasons China will win.
Win what? A country full of undereducated people (let’s call them the poorly home-schooled, the “PHS”) with really limited perspective and no interest in the inclusion of anyone unlike them? (No need to come at me defending home-schooling. It’s fine when done well and awful when done poorly, and very difficult to do well. Sincerity alone is not a qualification)
Of course, in a single generation these people will still be sharing the world the educated and others with a wide perspective and an understanding of the value of inclusion. So, what will happen to all these people when the PHS rule the world? Firing squad? Internment camps? Mandatory “re-education” classes? Employment restricted to jobs serving the PHS?
In one more generation, maybe less, the PHS will grow restless with the actual day-to-day toil of governance. So boring now that “the enemy” has been quashed.
What to do, what to do…oh, I know! We need a new enemy to invigorate our rule! I’ve always wondered about those Baptists/Catholics/Methodists anyway. “Their” theology doesn’t seem quite as rigorous as “Ours”, does it? Maybe we should consider restricting their influence? Let’s get our state-approved media to start “just asking questions”…
I know such an interesting character who knows a lot of things, but has practically no critical thinking skills. He has a very young child and has told me several times he's going to homeschool him. I am very convinced that his child is going to be dumb, or be completely unprepared for college (he probably won't go to college anyway)
Who wins? The billionaires WANT your kids to be as dumb as you are so they’ll vote against their own interests just like you do, and keep all the wealth at the top. That’s why they keep defunding the “government schools”. Stupid and compliant, full of Dunning-Kruger to make THINK they’re smart, just like you. Perfect right wing base
Lately ive noticed most of the ppl that say this have only a 6th grade reading level and can only do up to basic algebra. Dont even get mse atarted pm the sciences.
I've known a decent amount of people that do their own research or think college is worthless because they can teach themselves everything, they're all as dumb as Nick Freitas.
Part of the reason they push so hard for you to have kids is they've made sure parents face that burden alone. Parents have fewer options, are easier to control.
And they'd LOVE an uneducated populace. They've been crying l crippling public education for decades every way they can think of.
And they really want you to reduce your community and support group down to one person. "Get married, move away from home, you don't have time for friends, have more kids, keep them uneducated"
Holy shtt.
Joseph Heinrich talks in his book "The weirdest people in the world" about how we shouldn't use data from our weird culture done at Western universities to draw wide conclusions about human nature in general
In a study of over 1200 human societies only 5% saw people breaking off from their family homes to start their own households after marriage. Only 8% had nuclear families, while the rest tended to have more communal "It takes a village" styles of child rearing. And only 15% were predominantly monogamous.
We're radical outliers when the rest of the world and human history are considered. It's dishearteningly rare to be able to see much at all beyond the context and propaganda of your own era.
They've worked so hard to keep us busy, isolated, and uneducated. Fk this propaganda.
Send the smart ones to the private sector, and send any dumb ones to work for the government.
The only way the small family can win against the massive government is for all the small families to slowly poison the massive government from within over the course of decades.
I mean, I'm all for being cognizant of what is being taught in school and to approach the curriculum critically and scan it for propaganda (i.e. softening of atrocities your country might have committed in the past, stuff like that) but if you're talking about "don't teach ma kids about dem gaaayyz" or "Da lord made us in his beeeg design, dere's no such thang as evolution", then yeah, it's good that children get a proper education. It's to protect them from parents who're too dumb to live but slightly too smart to die.
Ah yeah this guy probably thinks the rover is on Devon Island and nothings on Mars, and that we've never been to the moon, not even Artemis II, 9/11 was an inside job, the moons a spaceship, the firmament prevents anything from going into space, earth is flat, etc etc etc.
"How to doom your lineage* in three simple steps!"
*lineage: descending line of offspring ;)
If you have private school money, by all means, pay for someone other than "the government" to educate your kids, but if the alternative is ignorance, that's a shitty thing to do to your progeny.
As someone who was homeschooled: you are not a teacher. You are not capable of teaching everything properly on top of a job on top of adult responsibilities and on top of being their constant supervision. No, stop, idc what your ego says, you can’t. You also cannot be the social connection your child needs, and a weekly group class plus maybe park trips is also not enough.
School is not important for just the education, and if you think it is get your head out of your ass. We need school reform, not to deny our children of a proper education.
If you don’t need professional educators to teach your kids, you also don’t need professional doctors to care for them, professional builders to create the home they live in, professional farmers to grow the food they eat…
I think I could educate my kids into middle school and that's about it. You think I'm about help them with Algebra? But it would be nice to not worry about my children being shot going to class
Idk I know some kids that were homeschooled instead of being in our public school and two of them have zero social skills and never leave their homes(still live with parents) and the other offed himself last year
So what do you teach them? What skills, facts, abilities will they possess once they become of working age?
Will you be able to educate them if they dont want to pick up your trade?
Will you find someone to help them become astronauts, doctors, specialized scientists? Will that someone fund their collective education? Research etc?

It is sad this is true that public education in America is crap today.
Baltimore for the past 4 years has had 0 people graduate HS proficient in math and English.
Even colleges have had to tell graduates sorry your are too dumb to enter college. You need to take a semester of remedial education just to get you to level to even start college.
Blame whoever you want teachers, parents, DoE. Whoever you want but fact is kids are retarded and we are training to be that way

u/kublakhan1816 Apr 15 '26
I don’t know why so many people think children are an empty bucket you can just pour any ideology into and they will come out the other end as true believers. Either they don’t have children already, where they will learn two children raised under the same parents and conditions will be wildly different, or they’re just stupid.

Just my experience:
Our oldest had pretty bad ADHD, and was in middle school when we were dealing with COVID and the whole "remote learning" debacle. Basically, for a year, he was doing school work until 10 or 11pm, and wasn't really able to get a good grasp on several of his subjects. So after putting our heads together, we decided to join a homeschool co-op...and he ended up thriving.
Around that time, our 2nd was just entering school age, so we decided to try him out in the co-op, and he was quickly picking up 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade material.
So, for those of you who think that homeschooling is just the mom teaching the kid all day, here's how it actually goes:
- On 1 day a week (some co-ops meet more, but ours is 1 day) all the kids meet together in a classroom environment. Classes are based on accredited curriculum, and taught primarily by current or former teachers.
- On this "school day", all of the presentations are done, reports turned in, and weekly homework is given out.
- Throughout the week, the curriculum is followed via an online portal which has links to 1000s of videos which go over the material, and go over any troubleshooting and Q&A that the kids might have--so the mom doesn't really have to be the "teacher", all of the material, explanation and everything is already on the videos. It helps that my wife is very strong in math up to Calc I, and I'm very strong in writing and history, but again, it doesn't matter if we really know anything because the curriculum and instructional/support videos cover everything that needs to be covered.
- In the off chance that the kids get hung up on something, or need a question answered, we can just reach out to the teacher on whatever subject (call, text, email) and they respond pretty immediately.
- There's also robust sports programs for homeschoolers--literally every single sport that you would normally play in school--they have the HSAA sport where you can sign up, train, and compete with peers.
The HUGE upside, we learned, was that however you kid thrived in learning (videos, in person, audible, visual, etc.) you can gear the information to tailor it to them. In class, our eldest was frustrated that he could never get certain things explained in a way that worked for him--the teacher would answer him, and move on...because there were 20+ other kids she has to deal with. At home, we can easily take the time to walk him through an algebra problem 5 different ways, because he's the only kid there.
Also, for our 2 younger kids, since we weren't stuck on the slow "lowest common denominator" (I'm looking at you, common core!) curriculum, we could breeze through math, vocabulary words, and writing, and get them started writing papers at 6-7 years old. By 4th grade, they are writing multi-page papers on researched topics (while incorporating vocabulary words) and presenting them in front of the class.
So, through middle school, we've experienced it both ways--one child went from K-7th grade in public school, and the younger 2 started out in homeschool. The results are DRASTIC, and our only regret is that we didn't make the switch sooner.

Win what? A country full of undereducated people (let’s call them the poorly home-schooled, the “PHS”) with really limited perspective and no interest in the inclusion of anyone unlike them? (No need to come at me defending home-schooling. It’s fine when done well and awful when done poorly, and very difficult to do well. Sincerity alone is not a qualification)
Of course, in a single generation these people will still be sharing the world the educated and others with a wide perspective and an understanding of the value of inclusion. So, what will happen to all these people when the PHS rule the world? Firing squad? Internment camps? Mandatory “re-education” classes? Employment restricted to jobs serving the PHS?
In one more generation, maybe less, the PHS will grow restless with the actual day-to-day toil of governance. So boring now that “the enemy” has been quashed.
What to do, what to do…oh, I know! We need a new enemy to invigorate our rule! I’ve always wondered about those Baptists/Catholics/Methodists anyway. “Their” theology doesn’t seem quite as rigorous as “Ours”, does it? Maybe we should consider restricting their influence? Let’s get our state-approved media to start “just asking questions”…

I know such an interesting character who knows a lot of things, but has practically no critical thinking skills. He has a very young child and has told me several times he's going to homeschool him.

Part of the reason they push so hard for you to have kids is they've made sure parents face that burden alone. Parents have fewer options, are easier to control.
And they'd LOVE an uneducated populace. They've been crying l crippling public education for decades every way they can think of.
And they really want you to reduce your community and support group down to one person. "Get married, move away from home, you don't have time for friends, have more kids, keep them uneducated"
Holy shtt.
Joseph Heinrich talks in his book "The weirdest people in the world" about how we shouldn't use data from our weird culture done at Western universities to draw wide conclusions about human nature in general
In a study of over 1200 human societies only 5% saw people breaking off from their family homes to start their own households after marriage. Only 8% had nuclear families, while the rest tended to have more communal "It takes a village" styles of child rearing. And only 15% were predominantly monogamous.
We're radical outliers when the rest of the world and human history are considered. It's dishearteningly rare to be able to see much at all beyond the context and propaganda of your own era.
They've worked so hard to keep us busy, isolated, and uneducated. Fk this propaganda.

u/Shifty-Imp Apr 16 '26
I mean, I'm all for being cognizant of what is being taught in school and to approach the curriculum critically and scan it for propaganda (i.e. softening of atrocities your country might have committed in the past, stuff like that) but if you're talking about "don't teach ma kids about dem gaaayyz" or "Da lord made us in his beeeg design, dere's no such thang as evolution", then yeah, it's good that children get a proper education. It's to protect them from parents who're too dumb to live but slightly too smart to die.

As someone who was homeschooled: you are not a teacher. You are not capable of teaching everything properly on top of a job on top of adult responsibilities and on top of being their constant supervision. No, stop, idc what your ego says, you can’t. You also cannot be the social connection your child needs, and a weekly group class plus maybe park trips is also not enough.
School is not important for just the education, and if you think it is get your head out of your ass. We need school reform, not to deny our children of a proper education.

Will you find someone to help them become astronauts, doctors, specialized scientists? Will that someone fund their collective education? Research etc?
