Teach them that all you want but they won't be smart enough to live by themselves. Imagine wanting your kid to be as dumb as possible.

School is important but politics is importanter.
Live and let live?
Nah, hang em.
Context?
Or is this a reply to the person saying homeschooling should be illegal?
Why is microblogging UX so strange?
Someone tweeted that homeschooling should largely be illegal.
Someone else quoted the tweet them and said people like them should be hung. Quoting a tweet is like replying while also saying, "HEY, EVERYBODY, LOOK AT THIS!"
Then a third person corrected the second person's grammar.
It could be assumed that the second person was homeschooled, but there's no evidence within the picture to support that.

There’s nothing wrong with home schooling if kids are meeting or beating national standards. What people doing home schooling need to remember is that college admissions are competitive af, so as long as you plan for that home schooling isn’t necessarily damaging or detrimental for child education.
Besides that, the U.S. needs higher national standards for stem at younger ages if the U.S. wants to train a globally competitive workforce. So while I respect individual rights to home school, I don’t think that home schooled students should ever be cut any slack on performance
Here’s some data https://www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/Taubman/PEPG/conference/homeschool-conference-slides-jolly-wilkens.pdf
Though there are other reports which say that homeschooled students perform better than public school counterparts by wider margins, but it’s hard to say without looking at the data and comparison points directly. I mean, it wouldn’t make sense to compare rich homeschooled kids against poor inner city public school kids
Edit: oh so the autist in me always forgets the social and emotional dev part, but that’s super important. As someone who was bullied in public school, I am not sure I have an endorsement for public schooling as a great place for social and emotional development. In fact, public schooling may even be detrimental for highly sensitive children.
The key issue is that not every parent has the time or resources to home school, so the U.S. needs well funded and globally competitive public education because the few rich or well resourced home schooled kids are not going to encompass the entire U.S. workforce, or indeed carry the work of the entire nation on their shoulders
It's banned in every civilized country, isn't it?
