Children who are homeschooled are less likely to become promiscuous.

Why don't more parents provide schooling for their children at home? They surrender their children to indifferent teachers, destructive peers, and media that is harmful to the child. It is less to do with the wealth of the parents and more to do with their morals and the closeness the child shares with the mother and father. The child has to internalize what their mother and father teach them, and not adopt the personalities or traits of their peers and those they see in the media. They need to be raised in loving and stable homes where the parents are committed to the proper growth of the child and able to build a solid foundation, ensuring they are of sound moral character.

Children who are locked up in a basement are also less likely to become promiscuous . .

Is that really the best argument you can find for homeschooling?

What of the millions of children who do not have loving and stable homes? Should they "internalize what their mother and father teach them" and perpetuate a cycle of violence, ignorance and hopelessness? Or do we just ignore them?

You know this is not a sensible thing to say.

These are children who attend school. They walk into a school building and are taught by men and women who are not their parents, surrounded by peers who are bad for them. The parents send them to school to be cared for by the state. Teachers are overqualified nannies and schools are centers for the state to mould the children, not the child. The collective nature of schooling necessitates the education be superficial and subpar. They want conformity. To not conform is to be insane. But to be insane is to possess a spark, a flame that ignites and cannot be put out. They do not want anyone to light up the room. They are afraid their fire will spread.

It's called irony . . a literary technique to highlight the ridiculous title of your original post. I learned it at school.

@SunshineGirl It was hidden behind a veil of irony. It is a silly remark that has no bearing on homeschooling.

The title cannot be ridiculous when it is true. Children who are schooled at home are less likely to become promiscuous. Do you want a promiscuous child?
