What's behind the increase in homeschooling
You're viewing a single thread.
Religion and the fear of "woke" things being taught to their children like evolution, sex education, history,science.....
Those people exist, but you should read the article for some more perspective. Trans children who faced bullying and black families who want to avoid systemic racism in the school system are also significant groups.
Eh, there are more insidious ways children get indoctrinated in public schools.
They're taught to:
Obey authority no matter what
Learn/do/value what other people say they should learn/do/value
Put STEM above all else
Sharing information is bad
The kids who are successful now will be the ones who are successful later
They are also exposed to alternative viewpoints, different cultures and concepts,.
Yeah, schools aren't all bad.
This has not been my experience as a either a public school student quite a few years back now, not as a parent of public school aged children.
Public school has its own gigantic share of problems, but the criticisms above seem exaggerated to me based on my experience.
The only one that doesn't ring true to me (granted now from 25 years ago in the 90s) was the last one.
Your first two points apply far more to private religious schools than to public schools.
Hmmm, I've never been in a religious school, but those first 2 were pretty big in my public school in the 90s.
