#Classroom Homeschool

[faeriefully]

what do you MEAN American public schools don’t teach what a verb’s aspect is??? what do you MEAN they expect all students to take foreign language classes without teaching them the foundations of their own language?!?!? what do you MEAN you want to address literacy without providing a deep education of descriptive grammar usage they already subconsciously use!?!?!?!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!???

I don't think that kids should be exclusively homeschooled, but I also don't think that kids should be going to a building with hundreds of people 5 days a week during a pandemic. It's one of the main reasons why it keeps spreading so rapidly and won't go away. They don't take any preventative measures at schools anymore (at least not around here). You got kids? You're getting sick. Your coworker has kids? You're getting sick.

Schools are back to counting attendance. You can't even keep your kid home long enough to recover from covid before sending them back. They literally send a "truancy" (police) officer to your house if you keep them home too often.

I feel like we could be doing something better. I'm not entirely sure what the solution is. But this isn't it.

yk that military kid camp i went to? gone for like a week? there were so many homeschooled kids it was crazy. and people that skipped grades. like a 14 yr old is a junior and this 15 yr old is starting freshman in college. made me feel 1) dumb 2) better because i feel like i am inherently less awkward and less socially inept than the average homeschooled kid. i do feel bad a little bit. not a lot.

you are less socially inept than the average homeschool kid I promise. this includes me unfortunately. also don't worry about whether or not they're smarter than you I promise something is still wrong with them

ballad of a homeschool girl is very fucking me coded it’s insane. get out of my head liv 🙄

[caffeinatedopossum]

Sometimes I wonder if being raised in a cult gave me a unique ability to spot bullshit. Like at some point, I had to learn that everything I believed and everything that everyone around me believed was utter bullhsit. And the reasons for us needing to believe those things were almost worse.

But then once I left, I realized so were many of the beliefs that everyone else has. Supposed 'opposing' beliefs were never actually that different from one another. There's no reason for a lot of the stuff people do and even more bad reasons for doing other things. Like why is school the way that it is? There's so many problems with it and a lot of people recognize this yet dropping out is still seen as an awful, terrible thing to do- something that will set you up for a life of failure- even though that hardly reflects reality.

I could go on about this for hours but I'm sick and I feel like this thought still needs to microwave in my brain a little longer

[makkie-is-screaming]

seriously stressed now bc so many people I love could get shot for just going to school or shopping where I live. There’s a shooting at least once a week. Someone threatened to shoot my cousin. My best friends school has had multiple bomb and shooter threats. And I honest to god don’t know what I’d do if any of these things happened to them.

I see some folks worrying that public schools may be "just as bad" for bullying and abuse, and the thing about public schools that especially reduces the potential for abuse is that students aren't kept isolated with one or two adults 24/7; elementary kids my have one classroom teacher, but there are often assistant teachers and administrators in and out of the classroom, nutrition staff in the cafeteria for lunch (and breakfast if they get it at school), more admin and other teachers waving at kids as they arrive and leave for the day, and even sometimes extra teachers dedicated to physical education/sports and probably language (typically Spanish here in the US)

while maybe a student is around a malicious teacher for a majority of the day, any sort of physical abuse is fully illegal and would almost certainly occur in front of the rest of the class and thus have witnesses, as compared to at home where some amount of hitting is often legal if done by parents to their kids and there's never a witness or someone interrupting; plus, students get new teachers every year, and then start having multiple teachers throughout the day in middle and high school, so an abusive teacher won't be around their victim for nearly as long as parents are around their kids

plus, schools have gotten better about recognizing the complex forms bullying can take, so now it is a real story when someone posts about their kid being bullied at school because it's become far more rare, and again students are around each other less and less as they progress through the grades

now, the biggest concern does remain students with exceptional needs who are in specialized ("self-contained") classrooms with the same teachers all day, but providing individualized care to students with significant physical and congnitive disabilities is a separate conversation imo because there are so many more circumstances to consider

I was homeschooled and went to private and public schools because my parents had to make up for my local public school district being a mess when I was the age to attend there (they lost their accreditation entirely for a while), and I have now worked in three different public high schools, and while I have seen some students struggling with not getting along with some students or teachers, I've seen way more of students (and jaded teenagers at that!) running to go hug their favorite teacher even as that teacher is telling them off for breaking dress code, or asking to borrow a pencil from the teacher whose subject they hate, or complimenting their classmate who is a bit shy, or just in general giving off every sign that while they may not love writing essays or solving equations, they're actually relatively happy to come to school and experience the offline world outside of their house

I have known homeschooled ppl who were better off for it over a public school education. I have met kelsey tuoc, and i am fully willing to believe her kids are better served by it than by a more ordinary education. I am willing to support (some) parents in their decision to homeschool their kids, and there are many circumstances where i think it is individually the best option

But, politically, the homeschool lobby needs to be broken by force and the institution of homeschooling needs to be abolished. Especially in many us jurisdictions, where homeschooling is minimally regulated, it is just an obvious magnet for child abusers with a horrifying body count. I am fully willing to believe there were ppl whose experiences on the rides at action park were magical and irreplaceable, doesnt change the fact it needed to die

!!THIS IS NOT A VOTE BLUE POST, TOP COP FANS GO HOME!!

I think things like this end up exposing the straight lines this view takes. Vance is like, obviously a White Birthrate Guy, and half the coverage of his run has been dedicated to how much he fucking loathes (presumably white) childless people. But like, as can be seen clearly here, Birthrate Guys don't really care about the copious amounts of kids they have. Because that's not the point of the ideology - the point is using these children to breed more (white) children, and thus "out-breed" the Other. Why give a shit about listening to your kids interests - here he is, publicly disparaging one of his sons on a podcast, because he interrupted him on a phone call. I wouldn't say that telling your kid to "shut the hell up" when he's trying to talk to you about something he enjoys is like, good parenting or whatever.

But besides that, being a Birthrate Guy dedicated to pumping out as many White Babies as possible just is a straight line from what's currently in vogue with conservatives and white nationalists in the Anglosphere - full, unending control of your kids. Look at the growing homeschool movement talking about "not co-parenting your kids with the State". Look at the demands that schools communicate every choice a child makes to their parents. Look at the push to ban transgender existence in schools! Look at the push to remove transgender and "woke" teachers from classrooms! They don't want kids! They don't want human beings! They want tools! And luckily for them, the entire concept of the Family has been centered on giving them tools instead of children - of course they're not people, they're a constructed class without any rights whatsoever, and what little time they get away from their parents is now under an insane culture war siege.

It's all connected!
