That being said, I prefer public schooling, mostly for the social benefits, and from memories that I'd rather have at school than home despite my thought process when I was actually there. My relatives that are homeschooled (half of my 4 aunts homeschool multiple kids each) live in highly populated areas, changing the social benefits as they had homeschool sports and other activities for them, as well as a graduation ceremony, and many other things I'm probably not even aware of.

Thanks for sharing. I think homeschooling is effective, I just worry that if it were the ONLY option, many would lack the resources or know-how to educate effectively.

I'd have to agree 150%. Even in public school you see children who act out all throughout the years due to what goes on at home. One could not hope to expect a large portion of the child population being not only poorly educated, but having their education neglected altogether.  But schools shouldn't have to be 'public' in the sense that they are government ran and funded which is where I believe the problem with schools we are seeing exist. Lacks competition and incentive for teachers.

Yes, there are a lot of bad teachers... I am not a fan of tenure... but that's a different topic. How can schools (public or private) attract better teachers? How do we get children interested in learning?

Ah homeschooling... or school in the home. I do agree with you that homeschooling is bad when used for brainwashing. I will make a video response (most likely responding to your unschooling video) one day.... when I find the time to start my videos lol.

Regarding other quotes on the page including yours Breece. Personal experience and my extended has shown me that if possible, home schooling works better. About half of my extended family was home schooled, I went to public school. I'd easily say that most of my relatives are more of schools knowledge than me without actually being more 'intelligent'. We need and must have education. The issue really comes with the fact that some places are starting to strip people of these rights.

Please stop telling me how sorry you are that I was forced to go to schools that were so harmful for me while simultaneously advocating that I should not have had the choice not to go.

If you can't see the contradiction here, you are not looking for truth, you're closed up on this matter, and that's fine, it's your choice.

Yes, these ideas will be mainstream one day, I just wish it was sooner rather than later.

I still have yet to see/hear any studies or credible arguments, I only hear that u didn't like school and want to extend the freedom to "drop-out" whenever anyone desires. Good luck with ur activism. It's not pointless. If your ideas are superior, they will eventually be common place, if not, they will slowly disappear. Just for the record, compulsory education at the primary level was affirmed as a HUMAN RIGHT in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it's not "slavery" as you call it.

[NoCryingNowYes]

Ok, you liked school so now you want to force everyone else to go, and you don't care if THEY want to go or not.

That's the root of all the problems in the world. Thinking that forcing people to get your way is a good method for achieving things. It's not.

All you can achieve through violence, is destruction.

I'm not gonna continue with this, it's pointless.
