    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.
