The issue with homeschooling (my opinion)
Sort:
Interesting. I’m going through both home schooling and conventional schooling.
#417 so... because they want to control their children and not let them get ideas of their own

Okay, Hunky. While the OP has made some admittedly inaccurate observations, let’s not post things like that.
I rather enjoy a good spot of satire, so if a joke thread has been made, I will respond in like manner as I please.

You might have learned the wrong things from your interactions. I think you're pretty sensitive too.

Guess you're taking about GenJ kids.
Indoctrination happens either way. It's either home, private or public.
The hope is that public "indoctrination" will help to build a more cohesive society of people that will also look out for each other. Perhaps it hasn't really worked out well in some places but the solution might lie in improving pubic education rather than seeking other avenues.
Not really, there is some indoctrination in homeschool, but not as much, we learn why we believe what we believe, not just what some randos in DC want us to believe.
If we know why we believe what we believe, we know why we don't believe what we don't believe, and than is is an informed decision, not indoctrination.

Lots of people claim to "know" and make "informed" decisions that run in opposite directions. of course all of the "other" people are wrong ...

I am making a claim. I am taught to believe in God, I can provide evidence for that. I was taught to be conservative, I can make an argument for that. Just because I can doesn't make me right, yet it means that is is now a somewhat informed concious choice made by myself and not my teacher.

Conscious and informed, not necessary right. Agreed. As more information surfaces, one can only hope that the choices will be reevaluated. Otherwise, oh well ...

wrong does not equal indoctrinated. I can prove in DMs I am right if you want.
If you can defend your position you aren't indoctrinated

Didn't say it does. At each institution, there will always be areas that are accepted uncritically. It depends a lot on the receiver. One could be in a cult and claim the same. Then would it matter?

Where did cults come into this? I don't speak for all homeschoolers, but from my experience annoying adults from our families communities and churches are always happy to play the devil's advocate, and make us stand our ground.
In summary, what I'm trying ro say is homeschool isn't "bad", just different. Both types of schooling have their own flaws, but I honestly prefer homeschooling, because it allows parents to teach their kids the way they want, not the way the government wants.
