[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP - there is nothing wrong worth a life consisting of a hard days work for men and motherhood for the women if that is what they want. The problem here is there are no choices. If a boy is given a chance to go to college - with parents paying or even just parents or a school guiding the process and providing info but no money - and he chooses to be a tow truck driver, that is fine. [b]Here there are no choices beyond motherhood or manual labor because the kids don't seem to have the basic education that you would need to manage even a retail store.[/b]

I think we  are not going to see the oldest girls orevenboys having as many kids as their parents. I can see them ending up with large families of 7-9 kids, not 20 because they have had to do so much child rearing and bear so much cost - financial and lack of attention -due to their parents' desire for 20 kids. They may not subject themselves to it again.[/quote]

+1.

I have no issue with homeschooling.  I know lots of homeschoolers and as far as I can tell, they are doing a great job and their kids are learning and making plans for their future.

The Duggar kids have been deprived of a bona fide education.  Their "schooling" has been minimal (in fact, the older kids are now HS'ing the younger ones; Michelle is pretty much checked out) and the result is that their options are severely limited.  Combine that with the cult they are in (and make no mistake, ATI is a cult) and well, it is a grim situation for them.

Here is a first-person account of the ATI experience:

And other commentary on whether ATI is a cult:
