Despite having agreement with rightoids, homeschooling should be illegal. If your kids have autism or some other social condition, it should be considered an extremely severe form of child abuse. I went to a special high school and there was an autistic kid there who was homeschooled for middle school to keep him away from it and it fucked him up. Even at our school he didn't really have any friends and that was an accomplishment. In order to not fit in where I went, you had to seriously work at being a jackass. There was a kid with very severe autism and he fit in better then the home schooled kid who had potential to be "passing."

I think homeschooling is an excuse to have your older children babysit the younger children all day long and that they get zero education, and I agree it probably should mostly be illegal. I will make exceptions for kids dealing with severe anxiety or something.

Context?

Or is this a reply to the person saying homeschooling should be illegal?

Why is microblogging UX so strange?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Because you can quote someone without actually speaking to them, and the UI has to show that as well as replies to that exchange.

It’s not perfect but it makes sense in context. Also, they all have timestamps so that should make the progression obvious.
