I love when people chime in like this.
Put your money where your mouth is, pull your kid out of school and show teachers how to do it right.

The more I see of my kids homework the more I realize our public education is

Learning 'how to learn' is very important, though.

Agreed - but can't we focus on things that are more applicable?

More applicable to what?

If “learning how to learn” were important to you, public school is the last

You certainly can’t learn that from public school

On actual languages that he can leverage later on.

Are you also mad your kid's blood type is B+ and not A?

Not me, I can’t even do 1/2 my daughters 6th grade math

It's not all bad. My 95% number was more exaggeration than real number.

Your critique of the education system is there's too much math and science?

Definitely not.

Even if you considered it daycare, you’re saving thousands

My dad was a teacher. And a great one.I don't think the teachers are the problem

Have you considered teaching young students molecular biology? Why teach them

Realize you are talking about their work from home schoolwork, stuff teachers

Actually none of this is based on the last couple days.

He’s not wrong. Way too much busy work. It’s been shown it doesn’t help

Part of it is trying to expose them to different things they may like

Public school is largely pathetic, yes. However, you get out of it what you put in. Sure, no one will push you and if

I agree with this completely.
mikecito

I’ll say this. As a teacher of 15 years, school is way too long.

I learned a lot of useless stuff in school. But I didnt know it was useless

I just laugh a little when people complain about free daycare.

Private school for the win....

Another good point.

The difference in my AP/IB courses at private schools and my brother's at public school, were night and day different.

Hmmm. I had no idea there was such a vast difference.

So why can a public school student still get a 5?
puntersarepeople

I would guarantee they come from a home with involved parents that prioritize education. Or, as I stated, you get out
indocoug

Considering we pay taxes and often can’t choose where to send a child. Possobly
SouthernBlueBlood
3/17/20 1:02pm
Well, to be fair, it probably isn't a fair point to make
Mufasa
3/17/20 1:18pm
I ignored that. To me it was a word of frustration rather than being literal

Yes my hyperbole was extra strong in the moment
