She is a talented singer songwriter.

So is Paul McCartney. And Stevie Wonder. I'm utterly uninterested in their views as well.

Does any freeper think public or private high schools are wonderful places to spend maximum hours in as possible?

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't. But you seem to have missed the point - or avoided it as fanboys/girls are wont to do. Swift by necessity had to sacrifice hours in school for touring etc. at an early age. Nobody is demanding or discussing 'maximum hours' - except perhaps you - but demonstrable empirical knowledge regardless of the time spent would be a reasonable baseline before we hear her views on subjects she lacks knowledge and/or experience in.

In fact, it might be reasonably suggested that more a person knows the less prone they are to categoricals, making demands and telling others how and why to vote.

Sorry. I homeschooled 3/4 of my kids for long periods of time. Institutional schooling is not the ne plus ultra of intelligence or information, BELIEVE ME. Go ahead and call me a fan girl. With her talent and with all she learned as a teen from the music industry (good, bad, and how to make it), you cannot tell me that AnyCity High School would have provided any comparative education or road to success.

My son learned more about hard work, teamsmanship, struggle, overcoming adversity, and the drive for success in the sport he was homeschooled for, than he would have in any of the classes he didn’t attend at an institution. And it is proving quite true in his college studies and internships.

I also don’t care about her political views and would have preferred not to know them.
