IMO the only time homeschooling makes sense is if your mom is a teacher that became disabled or something and it was more practical to teach you at home.
Otherwise it’s just a huge waste of time and missed opportunity to make friends and learn social interactions
They’re already putting the Ten Commandments in schools, and they’ve been strongly encouraging “under god” for decades. It already makes sense to opt out for irreligious reasons, depending on where you live.
I’ve been un-teaching my kids the police propaganda they all get at school. It’s less work than home schooling and helps teach them to question everything, I suppose.
that’s exactly it, you’re letting them get exposed to the problems and helping to correct them. That’s setting them up to be more critical thinkers throughout their life. It’s like a mental vaccine.
Yeah, we don’t have homeschooling in my country, it’s just not allowed and I feel like most people would assume you are mega weird. I’d automatically assume some brainwashed maga cultist flat earther anti vaxxer.
I’m pretty sure every country allows it under special circumstances. For example I know a girl (European) whose parents were circus artists and she got home schooling during the long periods where they were touring internationally. It’s just not allowed to homeschool for no reason.
That’s because the ones who aren’t keep it a secret.
Seriously. I was homeschooled K-12, but in real life I only mention it when asked, and it feels embarrassing.

That is probably true.
