Do you agree that parents who homeschool their children, should be paid by the government?


I was talking to a friend on here, and he agreed with me. I won't mention his name, because I don't want him to have to go into the witness protection program, for associating with a dirty rotten scoundrel like me.

In my state, it costs about $20,000 to teach a student for a year in a government school. Conservatives are not happy with our tax dollars going to a government school that focuses on teaching crap about pronouns, toxic masculinity, all white people are garbage, and of course, LGBTQRSTUV. Meanwhile, the government schools are saying that math and science are racist. lol

If parents want to forgo this insanity, and teach their own kids, I believe they should get paid. I believe that if this came to fruition, the government schools would be nearly empty. Yes the mafia (teacher's union) wouldn't like it, but tough shit.

This drawing shows what a typical "home schooling" looks like.

Minus the metal detectors, guns, and cops stationed at the school.

So what's your point? Are pronouns better than video games?

@JimBeam Just that "home schooling" usually constitutes anything BUT "school.

As do government schools. But why do you care? Send your kids to the government schools. Let others have a different approach. How would that affect you?

@Punches My daughter passed the HSED testing and I was told she did better than many high school graduates. I was so proud of her! Her brother got his HSED also. We did a lot more than television games. lol

Laughing my ass off. You are awesome.

I'm not condoning war or killing.......
But......the military recruits gamers to fly drone missions. They do that because they are highly intelligent and have amazing skills.

No one wants to hire the pronoun brigade. lol

@RebelFox Those kids falling asleep, I remember that feeling.

@JimBeam Schools actually do a good job of preparing kids for the world of work. Doing mundane boring busy work that really does not amount to anything. Silly rules changing often. Even if you do work your butt off, nothing seem sot come of it. Hearing the same BS over and over. Being told you need to work or try harder.

The only difference between school and work is that schools do not give you a pay check.
