Will you home school or send your kids to private school?

The public school system has failed the children of America. Unfortunately there are a lot of lazy and bad teachers that are out numbering the good public school teachers now. Curriculum is utilized to indoctrinate children and reduce their ability to critically think. Feelings have replaced all rationality.

A lot of this is to blame on teachers unions, which is why I am such an advocate for school vouchers. Families with children should be given the opportunity to choose whether their tax dollars will be used to send their child to public school, to a private school, or to home school their children.

Due to all that, I’m debating whether I will have my children (When I have them) home schooled or have them go to private school. I’m leaning more towards private for the social factor, but I think a better classical education could be taught through home school.

What are you guys doing or have done?

Not having kids for one
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

My kid is in public and I plan on keeping her their but private school is getting more appealing. If they pass the BLM agenda then I’m sending her to private.

Most home school kids are awkward. Not doing that to her. Kids need to be able to socialize with all walks of life and that is what appeals me to public schools.

I'd teach my kid everything, but send him or her to a school for social development/credentials. I can teach my kid every subject from K-12 though and probably up to undergrad in STEM fields easily.

Sadly, I will never father offspring since society has deemed me to be genetic sewage. But I can take some recourse in watching their civilization collapse in my time left on this Earth.

Why the hell would you homeschool them.... especially if you have daughters.

I've met a couple of early 20s homeschooled females... would never do that to my daughter

Some public schools are better than others. Imho it isn’t because teachers are all that much better, but because those students come from communities where parents put more effort into educating and raising their kids. Thats why it isn’t always about the $ when it comes to a good school atmosphere. We have less affluent towns with better rated schools in some cases here in NJ, where the community is tight-knit and solid.

Is your school district working on implementing a BLM curriculum? Is the school board in favor of it?

If not then definitely thinking private
Yeah exactly. What happens if this virtual learning takes effect, at that point I don’t see the difference between that and home school.

I still have time 5-6 years so a lot can change between now and then, but it’s something that I’ll be watching closely.

One major thought is decreasing my reliance on the government in a myriad of areas, especially when it comes to education. I’m sure I would be infuriated if I moved to an expensive neighborhood to be in a good school district and then boom teachers strike. Now my kids aren’t getting educated and I’m paying a premium for it.

Private school or homeschool.

Public schools in California, in all socioeconomic levels, are leftwing indoctrination factories. Homosexual/transsexual agenda, feminism, disturbing sex Ed for young children, attacking manhood (toxic masculinity), and a militant atheism, are all standard. The level of education required is being lowered constantly.

There are some nice growing home school networks that are not based on religious identity (those are almost all Jewish or Protestant) but rather on a more traditional education system. I am interested in those.

I have a family member who is homeschooling his two children and they are part of one of those home school networks (a Jewish one). I really see the difference in intelligence between his two kids and other children that age. He works (military) and she teaches them certain topics and they have a math/science tutor. They are both enrolled in a variety of activities and also meet with the children from the other families for outings and birthdays, etc.

Yeah a classical education really appeals to me. I really enjoy how a classical education emphasizes courses in logic and rhetoric which I believe are necessary skills for children to have going forward.

I’ll have to look more into home school networks. I’ve already planned on having my children involved in sports, volunteering, and other activities as well.

Did you ever consider that government schooling is what made you anxious in the first place?

Lol at having your kids indoctrinated.
Will probably find a group of like minded individuals and get several people to educate the kids in a group.
A small number of students per teacher works far better.
Have them study several languages and STEM subjects.
Get them involved in lots of activities outside of school.
Sports, hunting, fishing, playing musical instruments etc.
