[quote=Anonymous]It's really amazing how when people start talking about homeschooling they act like regular schools "work."   We have a mental health crisis.  We have a bullying crisis.   Kids are doing drugs and having sex in the bathroom in middle school.  And, most kids in regular schools are not actually "learning," if by "learning" we mean performing on a standardized test -- look at the data on how many kids are performing "on grade level."  The ones in the "good" schools are usually drilled into being good at standardized tests and getting into college, wahoo!  But query what lessons they have learned about how to have a fulfilling life and behave like a responsible adult after having been helicoptered by status-anxious parents in an environment that presents schooling as a means to an end (Best College!), rather than a place to nurture one's individual curiosity and natural aptitudes and develop a lifelong love of learning.

Schooling is not synonymous with education.  Let's stop pretending it is.   [/quote]
