Now, what Matt Walsh said is true, but I have to stress that homeschool or online schooling isn't for every kid. During 6th grade we decided to start book homeschooling. We moved in a town with tons of gang activity and it was a huge Hispanic population in Grandview, Washington and we didn't like it there and didn't feel safe. So, we started homeschooling. And it hurt us in a lot of ways. Not only in the social part of it as I do have social anxiety and other anxieties but it also hurt our education. My brother and I needed more of a teacher. My parents weren't able to help with that kind of stuff. So, both schooling options has it's benefits but each child is different.
Now, I personally never experienced any indoctrination in my schooling but in today's climate it's everywhere so we really have to teach our kids or our future kids to sniff out bullshit if they go into public school.
That's a great way to look at things thanks! I am indeed writing in complete sentences, unlike PedoJoe. You're right! And those choices made me the 20-year-old I am today. I'm totally MAGA! I'm not perfect and I have a lot to work on, but those experiences allowed me to think a different way as well. So, there are benefits.
I don't disagree with you per se. But in a healthy family situation, homeschooling is 100% better than the subtle, and sometimes overt indoctrination of public school teachers. I think Matt Walsh's point isn't that homeschooling is for everyone. But that homeschooling is a totally viable option, where there once was a bit of a stigma attached to it!
Oh, yeah, for sure. Homeschooling is definitely a viable option and will be the best choice for many families. Every child and family will be different. I was lucky enough not to have that indoctrination in my schools. But in today's world it's everywhere. And being homeschooled doesn't mean you have to be not social. I failed in that department, but other kids don't have to.
I'm always willing to share my experiences. They're not perfect parents no one has them, but they did try their best. It wasn't necessarily the best route but it's a route we chose and we move forward not backwards.

You say it failed, yet you're alive to tell the tale and writing in complete sentences.
Like they say, the Devil's in the details.

Thank you for sharing. Kudos to your parents who saw a problem and tried a different route.
