   the right wants order and will always reach for the nearest order even if they've seen how broken it is.
   
   it's like Gell-Mann Amnesia, but for politics.

     @shortstories most ACs want order and see the chaos of the government and think that just removing it will help.

     It's funny because my kids are smarter and more well behaved than public school kids. Public schools are a hot bed for diseases of the personality and mind. And I'm not just blaming teachers per se (but don't think I'm letting them off the hook either. That's another rant). It's also in part that good people are putting their kids in regular contact with bad kids. Habits get picked up and behaviors spread.

     It's really a patch work of sources and materials, workbooks, etc. plus some hands on stuff given my and my wife's different skill sets. She's a visual artist... ahe can paint, draw, sew, etc. She has a six foot cabinet and a hutch full of art and sewing supplies.
     
     We're both musicians. We have a baby grand, several guitars, two drum kits, and many other instruments.
     
     I'm more analytical though, but have zero visual art skills. I'm the better musician, and she'll readily admit that. I'm also a better logician and far more "fluid" thinker too. I know my way around computers and networks also, so I assist the kids and my wife by giving them the technical resources they need and otherwise by helping them learn to teach themselves (this is ultimately what you want kids to learn. With the modern imternet, the possibilities are pretty much endless if you know how to learn how to know how).
     
     We do a bit of "unschooling" too. Kids are always learning. Sometimes you just want them to think they're playing. And the truth is, learning never ends. The distinction between "home" and "school" is an artificial one maintained by the state.

     @Myshkin @Humpleupagus @shortstories @sickburnbro it really is the best place to have a cathartic experience and act out, puts you on a more even keel irl, and imo that's why so many people freak the fuck out, they use platforms like fakebag and twatter and tiktard that keep them crunched in a box
     
     but it sounds like i'm on the right path, we're kinda thinking the same approach with unschooling and hands on as well of course as the basics especially in the elementary school time frame. they dont need to be yelled at for not sitting still for 8hrs imo and their time is better spent with us.
     
     ps i'm a musician too and my wife loves craft stuff so i think it'll be fine, just seems daunting until you really look at how most public school teachers aren't intelligent and they deal with like 30 kids so 1 will be easy imo and his brother will gain from our trial and error

     The big issue for most is having the time. I'm self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. My wife does admin work for me in the evening, so her days are competely free.

     If I could recommend anything for really young children (two or three y/o) the Endless Alphabet, Reader, and Numbers apps really work. They think they're playing, but they're actually learning how to read, spell, add, etc. It won't do shit for older kids though.

     @dictatordave @Humpleupagus @sickburnbro

     So they do not have to have the level of reading comprehension required to read it because you read it

     And if they have questions about big vocabulary words then you tell them you will get back to them on that and look it up later and tell them what you find out

     Then you look up the words and explain later and that way you create the lesson plan based on their questions

     @sickburnbro I'm gonna be honest, I wanted public schools to close because it was far easier way to cut off the janny-tranny pipeline to kids. It disappointed me how deeply the scare-demic left a bad taste in my mouth. From the circle of friends I have that have kids in other county schools, kids seem to not talk about what is said to them by teachers in class. I'm rather concerned, in a bad way.

     @EvilSandmich @teknomunk this is the wrong way of looking at it, section 8 vouchers was a tool and it was perverted by the system as a way to attack whites.
     
     Trying to be pragmatic inside of a system run by people who hate you is foolish.
     
     Schooling is weaponized by the system. Thus school vouchers cannot be looked as a way to "fix" the problem, but a tool which only destroys school mafia which is captured by the system.

     @teknomunk @sickburnbro School vouchers are usually like section 8 housing vouchers: a way for blacks to invade a tacitly white space.
     
     I guess, maybe, they could be used at privately run institutions so that Whites could get an even more explicit place, but at least in my state there's funding issues that would have to be addressed, and separately, I've had some distant experience with players in that space, and oof, if you think public schools are are a grift....

     NOT using the desire of teachers to not reopen to push for thr school voucher system the rights *says* they want was either a massive tactical mistake or a sign the leaders of the right don't actually want to get the school voucher system.

     @Whitewall_Blasphemy what I would suggest to you is that taking action takes mental energy. Most people are mentally destroyed by the modern world ( and it does it on purpose )
     
     Use your energy to carve a path others can follow.

     @sickburnbro I have a friend who used to teach. He refuses to admit that school is both unnecessary and one of the most detrimental things we do to children. We literally throw them into this monstrous hierarchy of moronic, moody women who threaten their entire future and teen hormone pecking orders. And they don't even learn well, most of them.
     
     Especially males, because asking them to sit perfectly still for 8 hours a day during their most formative years, to never feel aggression or annoyance or anger, fucks them up. They either become emasculated and cuck to the arbitrary authority structure (the goal) or they act out and fail and then struggle forever because college and "we're a family" office jobs are purpose designed to keep the same structure from cradle to grave.

     @sickburnbro @teknomunk Who's mafia though? White suburbanites are generally happy with their schools and aren't keen on the idea of ne'er do wells from more...urban areas taking advantage of the schools that they have worked to keep up.
     
     Don't get me wrong, I'm no defender of the status quo on this, I just don't think vouchers will ever be a part of the solution.

     @EvilSandmich @teknomunk If they were happy, vouchers wouldn't be such a hot topic. Learning to differentiate between happy and accepting of a status quo ( because they don't have any other choice ) is an extremely valuable skill

     @EvilSandmich @teknomunk The rabid progressives are bad at this, for instance and think that everyone has a "false conscious" and they aren't happy with things, but they were wrong about the working class and mainly wrong because they project their broken mental frame on normal people.

     The right is more pro-social and they don't understand how or wish to be anti-social; no matter how broken society becomes, the herd always clings to itself.
