I wish I could convince my sister to homeschool hers. :alexjonescrying: But she uses the "I'm [and I assume her hubby] too dumb to teach anyone anything!" excuse.

I'm not gonna lie. I've met a few home school parents who's intelligence is in question, but when I look back at school, in most classes, except a few, teachers did very little. Instead they held up a book and flipped pages while they played the audio on tape (remember that) or they'd bring in a reel to reel projector to play some short about Abraham Lincoln, etc. Fuck
... I didn't even learn to write until I was in law school, when a professor made us all read the elements of style, which takes about an hour.
Tl;dr school is a waste of time, and with today's tech, kids can learn more from YouTube if you know what to look for.

@Humpleupagus @cowanon public school is a waste tbh. so is college for 100-200 level classes. the best teaching I ever had was in ultra specific history classes I took like food production in the american colonies. I also enjoyed one teacher in HS that was very hot that trauma dumped on me about her Life.

@Diceyocean @Humpleupagus @cowanon it still makes me mad thinking about that I got ripped off all the negatives and none of the positives of that situation. no made tv special no just get to hear horrible stories about her husband beating on her

@Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @Humpleupagus @cowanon you are probably supposed to make the move first. But at that age you don’t have the maturity or age for that. If you were 18 you could have said “I can make you feel better “

@Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @Humpleupagus @cowanon in high school I had a really hot teacher that would stroke my arm and stuff. Bitch took me out of finals celebration party, which is 10th grade in Norway at about 16 before you move to gymnasium or work school, by the arm when everyone was drunk and threw me out. I think she got off on throwing me out since she only singled me out. Later someone broke into the school at another part of it and I wandered into the broken door with a buddy and police caught us. But they let us go after she said we probably hadn’t anything to do with it while saying over and over “be nice to (my name)”
