teaching our kids, exposure to pornography & indoctrinating kids to hate their country, religion, family & Western civilization as concerning.

There's been numerous reports over the last few decades how public education has failed American kids.

Home schooling/private/charter schools for the win. Just saying....

honestly I’m not even sure how this applies. I’m a huge school choice guy, but this seems like you’re shoe horning this

It doesn't, but he does homeschool so I see why he thinks it applies.

What's wrong with homeschooling?

gopman

It’s the cool thing to mock it right now.

Right now? It’s been mocked since I was a kid.

Again, homeschooled so they are still a couple decades behind current trends.

The trends of showing porn to kids & indoctrinating them to hate

Haha. Again your takes do not help support the strength of homeschooling. It does support the view you

You're not outraged that children are being exposed to pornography

Again the logical flow that you are attempting speaks volumes about homeschool.

So just to confirm, you are NOT "concerned" about porn being

Stop, he’s not saying that at all. Don’t put words in other mouths.

In home school, were you taught or do you teach outrage equals concern?

Seriously, man. That’s weird. Trying to pump words into his post.

I'm seeking clarification. His exact quote was "I'm not outraged".

Exactly. I am not outraged.

I'm guessing that you are wildly exaggerating the prevalence and scope of this

Socrates Johnson

I believe there are bad teachers at home and at school.

This is the kind of garbage that needs to stop.

Breaded Hamster

I agree. I would love it if they weren't so far behind. I just don't know how to make it stop.

Come on man - spreading this ignorance isn’t a good idea.

Breaded Hamster

Nothing wrong besides the things that are wrong. I was more pointing out maybe a flaw in homeschooling because

Maybe because the school where it's happening is a charter school?

My post is real. The homicide actually DID occur at a charter school in Idaho Falls.

IdahoCoug

It is a “charter school” not a charter school.

Yeah, I didn't realize what it was until I saw a picture of the crime scene online and realized it was

Given the neighborhood, an overnight murder in the parking lot is not that surprising...unfortunately.

No so fast. I unfortunately have had to send out that text to my homeschooled kids before.

You don’t think people can be killed on charter school grounds?

They can. But you do see my point given the issues surrounding

Given that this happened at a charter school your points are falling very flat…

They can happen at a charter/religious schools & at home.

What happens far less at home? Most child abuse occurs in the home, far far far

Well I mean you said you should send kids to charter schools in response to a post about a murder at a charter school

I don’t want my kids exposed to that, but they will be eventually and I would

Shielding our kids also doesn't help them learn how to let their light shine
