    man i hate to say it but people really shouldn't be allowed to raise their kids whatever way they want

    like you should at least have to take a course or something

    obviously i don't think we should have rigid conservative "family values" imposed but this is practically abuse

      That shouldn't even be controversial. You don't own your kids. They have a right not to get fucked up when they're at their most vulnerable.

      also homeschooling should be illegal except in rare circumstances. i'm sure there are a few people for who it was genuinely better than going to a real school but in the vast majority of cases it stunts learning and social development

      i was e-schooled (at home but with charter school curicuulum so no insane christian bullshit) for elementary and high school and it's a miracle i'm capable of socializing at all. i love my parents but i really wish i had just gone to a regular school

        Regular school is nothing but a long, extended torture session where you cannot escape. I wish I could have gone to home school. You should be thankful at what you "lost".

          The answer to bad schools is good schools, not no schools.

            Me? These issues are widely reported and experienced by everyone (except the popular kids, of course - if you're one of those I can see why you don't get it). And I was cishet. Imagine what it's like for BIPOC or LGBT kids. A thousand times worse.

              i wasn't one of the popular kids in middle school and it was still a lot better than homeschool. i'm sorry school was bad for you but your experience isn't universal

          You can escape, you go home at the end if every day. You know what kind of school you literally cannot escape from? A home school. Don't talk down to other people telling them they had it good because you fantasized about their life while not knowing the details.

        I disagree parents have rights just not the right to do whatever they want all the time or the right to cause the child significant harm. They for example should be allowed to see the kid and be the primay caregiver to the child but not the right to make dangerous decisions about what the child should be doing.
