Would you still send your children to school if not doing so wasn't illegal?

[Genie23]

Definitely, yes. Because it's necessary. Kids need to be taught about many things be it about math, history, science, economics, other languages etc. They need to gain knowledge which they can use later in life and also need to develop their social skills, they can't do that when they hardly meet/interact with other kids. Also, it's good for their mental and emotional health.( unless they're getting bullied, of course)

[Emiliamazing]

Yes. They all enjoy school for the social and learning aspects. If our public school district was not rated well, we would look into private schooling of home schooling with semi private instruction (maybe look into sharing the cost with other like minded parents).

If its ilegal you have no choice. We homeschooling out kids until high school because we couldn't choose the local schools and are then address meant we had to send our kids to some pretty rough under funded schools that had 50 kids in a class. Like our kids were one of 10 white kids, lessons were bilingual in Spainish and literacy &math were the lowest in the state. Head lice was rampant.

[lightbulb27]

yes, but it may be home schooling, albeit, I couldn't do the job the school does. other family members could.

current school system I think has a lot of waste in it, risks, and problems.

[supercutebutt]

Too many guns. Thanks, MAGA cultists!

[lightbulb27]

@supercutebutt guns small part of it. you could move to China, where they took the guns away, or afghanistan. safer. problem is the education is
Maybe we should all stop watching shows with guns and stop playing shoot em up video games and listening to violent music.

[Justneedtokno]

if I had children yes I was still send them to school. it may be some sort of hybrid learning in high school so they can get some type of working experience.

[Justneedtokno]

You know what they say can’t get a job because you don’t have experience can’t get experience if you can’t get a job

[msc545]

I don't think experience in a carwash has much value

[Justneedtokno]

Who said anything about car wash no you prepare them for internships and things of that nature

[msc545]

If those things are actually available for children, yes. They are often unavailable.

[Drumlin2001]

Absolutely. I couldn't teach them and hold down a fulltime job. One of my biggest regrets in life was not achieving my potential academically.

[exitseven]

I would send them although the way things are today I would be sending them to private schools.

[supercutebutt]

Why? So they can die of gun violence in a more private setting?

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt My kids would have Kevlar backpacks and they would be packing heat

[Sour-rose]

Yes. Not only I want to be alone but I've seen what happens when one has no brain, they get nowhere.

[NewsReader]

Not sending your kid to school is legal? Wish I knew and told my parents when I was younger.

[msc545]

NOT sending your child to school is ILLEGAL

[NewsReader]

Then how do parents "Homeschool" their kids?

[msc545]

They have to do this whole routine with the school and get checked up on a lot.

[AngryCarl2]

Of course I would. How else do you get them out of the house?

[lottiebannotie]

Yes they need education and social development

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Gotta go and get educated.

[NathanDavis]

Yes.

[SnowedIn]

Yes.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Yes, of course.

[Anonymous]

No, could teach them better myself

[Guardian45]

Pardone?
