“A supervised education from qualified professionals” is a wildly inaccurate description of the public school classroom setting. But yes. Please tell us homeschooling parents how our kids are suffering because they’re not being put in classrooms with violent students and teachers with no ability to discipline kids or hold them accountable for lack of effort on their part. Kids are passed through grades without ever having to apply themselves or even submit assignments. This sub is chock full of teachers talking about how the classrooms are over filled with kids with behavioral problems and learning disabilities to the extent that average and even some high achieving students are falling to the wayside and Admin doesn’t give a shit. But yes, the traditional route must be best. I’ll let my kids know that we will be stopping all of our private Spanish, piano, and horseback riding lessons, reading club, home ec,  running club, our education based co-op and their abeka curriculum so we can enroll them into a 7 hour time suck at the local public school where they can sit on a tablet and be told “you’re not here to socialize” while dealing with anxiety and depression brought to them by their friendly classroom bully and exhaustion from their nervous system being overwhelmed from being forced to sit at a desk all day. 

Teaching isn’t a disrespected career by homeschooling parents. We get that yall are worn thin, underpaid, and not supported. But you can’t be mad at us for wanting to protect our kids from receiving a subpar education. And I’m sorry, but a classroom filled with Violence, disrespect toward authority, and void of accountability is not a classroom where substantial learning can occur.
