Despite having agreement with rightoids, homeschooling should be illegal. If your kids have autism or some other social condition, it should be considered an extremely severe form of child abuse. I went to a special high school and there was an autistic kid there who was homeschooled for middle school to keep him away from it and it fucked him up. Even at our school he didn't really have any friends and that was an accomplishment. In order to not fit in where I went, you had to seriously work at being a jackass. There was a kid with very severe autism and he fit in better then the home schooled kid who had potential to be "passing."

I think homeschooling is an excuse to have your older children babysit the younger children all day long and that they get zero education, and I agree it probably should mostly be illegal. I will make exceptions for kids dealing with severe anxiety or something.
Kids like that would be the most harmed I think. Kids need to learn to get over their anxiety issues. Public schools harm autistic kids by creating spaces where they never have to get outside of their comfort zone. You will fail in the "real world" if you can't handle overcoming "anxiety."
What if we sell kids their comfort zones? Oh! Or better yet, rent them.
Fascists: do fascist things
Liberals: correct their spelling, then allow them to continue because fascism doesn’t threaten capital
Homeschooling is technically the opposite of fascist approach. As in "state being in charge" vs "parents being in charge".
That said, some parents are just too dumb to allow them full control over their child's education. Just in my case it was their "try harder" attitude about school, while something like homeschooling would work much better.
Imagine an autistic adult who never dropped the imitation and missed on most good things in life, trying to impose the same onto their autistic child who at least understands that imitation takes too much energy and isn't worth shit (and is seen right through by NT people anyway), thinking that their fake smiles, stupid loud nonsense talk and even fake hobbies (as in those they know nothing about, but talk a lot in public) don't look that, and also being scared shitless of the very idea of going to a therapist ("I'm/you're NORMAL", this is common in ex-USSR though), and, finally, actively sabotaging any idea to isolate their stupidity and ignorance to them. That would be my dad.
Other than personal examples, there are good and bad parents and there are good and bad schools and there are good and bad education systems.
Parents generally don't groom their children to become cannon fodder, some education systems do ; parents generally don't want their children to be fooled by politicians, and education systems are directly influenced by those politicians ; parents generally care for their own children to have some successes, while for Prussian-style school systems it's normal that some are just discarded, if the majority becomes good drones.
I went to a special high school where there was an autistic kid who was homeschooled for middle school. He was one of the few people who didn't fit in.
If your point is that he somehow would "fit in" were he not homeschooled or in any case at all, being autistic, that's exactly the kind of ignorant bullshit making me wary of mandatory public education, because the system is often defined by people of such opinions.
Libertarians believe that they should have the benefits of society, without any of the responsibilities that come with it.
That's more sovereign citizens.
Libertarians are just naive. They say they want to derestrict corporations and then complain when corporations start oppressing everyone.
They're house cats.
Context?
Or is this a reply to the person saying homeschooling should be illegal?
Why is microblogging UX so strange?
Because you can quote someone without actually speaking to them, and the UI has to show that as well as replies to that exchange.
It’s not perfect but it makes sense in context. Also, they all have timestamps so that should make the progression obvious.
Yeah I'm just an old person and back in mahdaay we didn't have no Twi'er
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.
I always used to think i deserved to be hung. As i get older it matters less
Average is absolutely fine as long as you learn to use it.
I've got hands and a tongue. Like yeah doin it old fashioned is cool and it's cool if that works every time, but most ladies can't get off from just penetration.
Oh. Well, um, I can.
Congrats, you're in the 35%! Some ladies can orgasm solely by nipple stimulation; around 1%. They are truly blessed.
It's all about the angles.
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.
Live and let live?
Nah, hang em.
School is important but politics is importanter.
