the level of fed up that people are on with public education is pretty hilarious.

@theshortbus @Victor_Emmanuel @sickburnbro I think the only real upside of public schooling is that it's supposed to be something to help teach socialization. That however only works in a high trust society where the teachers actually punish violent behavior and allow for positive interaction. Since it doesn't school is nothing but a net negative that praises the mediocre, coddles the worst aspects of society, and punishes any real excellence

once they started forcing integration in the 70s, it was the end of public education.

The principle behind homework is that information gets stored in long term memory better if you review it several hours later.
This is not applicable to how most teachers treat homework though.

@theshortbus @Victor_Emmanuel @sickburnbro Honestly the real issue is that schools take up so much of a kids time. I think it's genuine cruelty to make kids wake up as early as they do, to spend 8 hours plus travel to go to mediocre lessons, and then come home and still have upwards of another hour of lessons to do at home after the fact.
Kids should be allowed to have more freedom to run free. Not be shoehorned into lessons at hours worse then what I work as an adult

Homeschoolers routinely report that they spend only a few hours on the lessons. The public school system seems designed to be maximally ineffective, even ignoring things like sticking violent niggers in the same classroom as regular kids.

Homework, in principle, should be banned. If you teach everything you needed to that day, that's on you not the child.
