U.S.—Many parents are concerned that their kids could grow up to be poorly adjusted socially. The kind of school a kid goes to of course can have a massive impact on their socialization and how well-adjusted they are when they enter adulthood. So, to prevent their kids from being total weirdos who don't know how to relate to another human being and aren't scared of their own shadows, more parents are reportedly opting to homeschool.
"I'd like to send my kid to public school, but I just don't want him turning out to be a giant weirdo," said stay-at-home mom Brigitte Lettucey after seeing a picture online of kids doing the "zombie walk" to make sure they stay far enough away from other humans. "I think we'll just homeschool for now. At least then I can make sure he's not a germophobic, frightened little freak for the rest of his life."
As more schools make their kids stay in little isolated pods and wear face masks and train them to be scared of their own shadows, trends seem to indicate that many parents are ensuring their kids are happy, well-adjusted, and not forever developmentally harmed by being trained to always obey authorities and be frightened forever.
"Besides," added Lettucey. "I don't want them getting brainwashed with all that weird fundamentalist cultic propaganda. You know, the CRT stuff."
Our youngest - a 10-grader - just started this year.
Better late than never we guess.
Good for you.
In other words, life.
Bless you.
Ok, this one is NOT satire.
Students only learn how to interact with people of their own age.
Homeschooling by most parents has students interacting with people of all ages.
That’s sad and funny at the same time.
Yes, I know. I’m a homeschool dad 2000-2015. Soon to be a homeschool grand-dad.
Looks like the BB is belittling homeschoolers?
No. Just turning the standard criticism of homeschooling on its head.
Serious? They’re flipping the typical knock against home school on its head and rightly pointing out how public schools are making kids weird.
They are smacking down people who criticized homeschoolers as weird.
I never made a kid sit inside a hula-hoop and wear a mask. Now THAT is weird.
FYI we homeschooled all of our children.
The “socialization” concern by non homeschoolers was a running joke in our house.
