[NEWS] Annoying Orange cutting budgets of public school programs by 6 billion, afterschool
IkeTheGeneric:
I saw a couple people talking about homeschooling earlier. Homeschooling isn't that good of an alternative to public schools unless there's strict policies to ensure children are getting a proper education. Things like mandatory comprehension tests at the end of every semester and programs to assist parents in being able to afford schoolbooks and educational tools that have some form of quality control by the federal government (to avoid the stuffty christian-baptist schoolbooks that don't teach stuff)
I've seen one too many people get forgeted over from homeschooling due to lax study times, lax laws and shoddy teaching. They started their life insecure and unsure of their academical prowess with a diploma that is seen as a stigma in a lot of the workforce. It really just isn't worth it, in the long run.
King Tøny:
That's home schooling.
We all know homeschooling is 1 big safe space.

Yeah, homeschooling tends to be a one-stop-shop for sheltering your precious white, good christian boy/girl from the evils of liberal public education. Then you end up with socially handicapped half-savants who have no idea what grade they're in, and are probably a year or two behind on their mathematical skills.

You say that like gender studies isn't a mandatory requirement in education now. Intro to Sharia Law (Islamic Studies in non-liberal strawman terms) is next.

I mean, I actually worked hard in my public education to get good grades, instead of you who goes to for-profit private schools and pretends to be better than all those entitled freaks who can't afford the same amenities as you.

Who's acting better than anyone else? You said I didn't know what I was talking about but ironically enough I have more experience with education archetypes than you do.
The vast majority of public education funding goes directly into the pockets of higher education administrators anyway. The actual kids going to public school probably wont even be noticeably affected.

That's kinda like what happened to my friend. He got homeschooled, and he asked me once to quiz him for a science test. I found out he was using one of those Creationism-lite textbooks that was like "actually evolution can't be proven by the scientific process so it's not true", and I didn't say it to him but it actually kinda disgusted me knowing he's not ever really gonna have a clear picture on evolution and scientific reasoning in general.
So yeah, homeschooling sucks ass.
