What really resonated with me about this video was @ 3:20 where she talks about the importance of games, because it mirrored my experience with my own kids. Games are fun for kids, and if you can make learning fun, they soak it up like a sponge.
 
Racist and sexist username posts anti intellectual youtube garbage. Shocker.

This thread will eventually become "it's best to home school so kids learn the truth about black people."
 
Education post that references Stossel on a youtube video as a source.
 
I posted this in another homeschool thread because I think it's funny, but I was homeschooled all the way until college. We traveled full time due to my dad's work.

And I ended up a "woke" communist who agrees with a lot of the academic prescriptions of CRT. Since we weren't in school and traveled a lot, a lot of my history education was just literally going to state/national parks or local museums. It's hard to not agree with a lot of the 1619 project when you've literally seen the slave quarters in the old per-revolution mansions.

If I had a dollar for every parent that claimed they were going to homeschool or move their kid to private school, I wouldn't have to worry about how shitty teacher pay is.

Charters are fake news, some are good and some are not.

It seems to me the government (republicans) in some states are now deciding what is allowable and what is not. That's one of the things I so admire about the gop, they stay out of business that doesn't concern them, like cruise lines and academics in schools. Shouldn't teachers be the ones deciding what to teach and not our politicians?

When do the book burnings start?

Righties want to ensure that a thorough education is not available to the masses. That's why they support censorship of Maus, other works on the Holocaust, and racism in America past and present.
 
At the end of the video a young boy tells the group:

"Everyone has a different life, so they can do whatever they want."

Now there's a true libertarian. As he gets older, he probably will be ridiculed and mocked for his views on freedom, but most libertarians are able to shrug off these things.

Stossel. *L*. He’s been a purveyor if far right ideology for decades now. *L*
 
We don't have Android apps that will run on $150 tablets that can teach children to read?

This fun app promises to improve kids' reading and math scores fast

The HOMER Learn and Grow app , which works on iOS, Android and Amazon devices, has been downloaded by 1.4 million parents who say it has transformed how their kids learn

I don't know how good this is, but isn't this issue important enough to trash capitalist competition? It is like some people want to maintain confusion.
