Lack of critical thinking = Homeschoolers won’t uncritically ingest LGBTQI
“4. Lack Of Accountability”
LOL!! Oh my God, they can’t be serious!!!!!!
Your list is more realistic.
A couple of decades ago I was the head of a college school of architecture with about 500 students at all levels. It was my routine to greet the incoming first-year students and to teach the introductory “survey” class. Even then, I could pick out the students who were homeschooled easily. They were the students who were polite, focused on their education, had excellent study skills, and communicated as adults in complete thoughts. By contrast, we had to design remedial programs in that first year for the products public school education just to get them up to e level of competence where we could expect written and verbal lessons to be understood. The homeschooled students needed no such assistance.
You nailed it!
I don’t get the “Limited Socialization”. My 2 home schooled children have several outside group activities every week with many different clubs. In the fair weather seasons there are more than we could possibly attend so we pick and choose what is most interesting to them. They have their BFFs but I am amazed at their ability to meet/make new friends at any club we go to instead of just forming cliques. Also, we don’t have to watch them when with the well behaved home school kids like we do when around public school kids.
It’s clear that Krystal Devall doesn’t approve of school choice. She sounds like someone who believes that children belong to the state.
Of course each of those same things happens in public schools. The claims about "diversity" are ridiculous, many public schools in the United States are overwhelmingly populated by people of one race, or ethnic group, and are not in the least bit "diverse".
It is important to remember that each and every one of these supposed problems were not a problem when the teachers did not want to go to school and teach classes in person. During the pandemic education at home was just fine, and all of the pro government school spokespeople were saying how well education at home was working, and that it was not harming the kids.
Jews really are evil.
Blacks really are subhuman.
Whites really are racist haters.
How do your respond to complete idiocy other than laughing.
HA!!!
Move along, like a steamroller, slow and steady, crushing its way.
THE KEY THING that home schooling does is to teach kids to be autodidactic. Which is what you do in real life in an adult job.
Conventional schools stymie and prevent this, boring kids with hour after hour of numbingly stupid indoctrination.
The homeschoolers are the pacemakers now. The conventional schools are getting their tails waxed by the kids coming out of home schooling.
And the professors etc., generally like and are impressed by the homeschooled kids.
This would be funny if it weren’t so insulting.
Each one of those 10 reasons sounds to me like somebody’s indicting the public school system not homeschooling. I’m not going to shoot down each one of them individually. It’s actually too easy.
Here’s a little thought as regards to where these criticisms originated. I would not be at the least surprised to find wackadoodle public school “teachers” trolling homeschool forums pretending to be normal parents so they can shovel this bovine excretion.
I don’t have time to refute the tired old lies.
Of our homeschooled kids, one is an astronautical engineer. Guess that kills the lack of math and science.
One is a book editor
One is a nanny. The parents are hardcore liberals and they love my daughter. She also has several side gigs.
One is a trucker. Can’t get much more independent than being on the road six nights a week.
Most school parents have a bias against homeschoolers. It’s no different from any other kind of bias. They see what they want to see.
The irony is, all those reasons listed against homeschooling are what happens in schools.
The funniest criticisms are these: “Limited Socialization Opportunities” and “Lack of Diversity” and “Lack of Extracurricular Activities.”
LOL. Schoolkids sit in classes with the same group of kids for 12 years. THAT is “limited socialization” and “lack of diversity.”
While the schoolkids are locked up in school, homeschoolers are out doing fun things together. They can schedule their homework around sports, clubs, band, co-ops, field trips, youth groups, etc. The homeschool community is well-organized with plenty to do. They get together with schoolkids, too.
How can kids know which of 1,836 genders they are, without guidance from a leftist school system?
Bttt.

Your list is great!
That pretty much says it.
Public school teachers have a degree in “Pedagogy”, also known as philosophy of teaching. Very few have much expertise in the subject matter they teach.
