Do you wish you were homeschooled? Are you homeschooling your kids now? Do you plan to homeschool in the future?

    I think homeschooling is the wrong answer to a real problem. Most schools are broken by design, they’re conceived to teach obedience and form docile workers, not to develop personality. But homeschooling can cut you from the realities of socializing with other kids… i’ve certainly met a few individuals who were homeschooled and had trouble adapting to social life.

    But why would a school have to be that bad? Can’t we have liberatory schools where children are treated as persons not objects?

      The problem when I was a kid were other kids and that’s nothing you can solve.</br> Some kids are just bullies and “prequels of an a.hole” and while they figure out how to be a reasonable human being every other kid has to suffer.</br> And some children suffered so much that sometimes I think that homeschooling for them would be the lesser of two evils.
