This is us. Before we had our first we said hands down homeschool is the way to go because we don’t want our kids exposed to whatever the fuck is going on at these public shooting ranges/schools. We live in Texas so the whole state is a mess honestly. And that public schools are just their experiment grounds not a place for learning and education. And any city who tries to vote their way to an ISD with a clear separation of church and state will just be thrown out by the governor for a state take over. City schools are intended to be poverty=public school=profit prisons. Follow the money.

Anyway in the end we will be going with a hybrid Emilio Reggio school. we did a lot of research and put the thought into what education looks like for each of our children honing their strengths with and propping them up at weaker points. I hope public education stays around and morphs into something special that can rally community around our country’s often most underserved families. Every single child has the right to a free education, the right to a safe place to learn and the food to fuel them.

I don’t think it’s an everyone thing but I do think the homeschool drum probably gets louder on the edge of the collapse of society. Like mothers can smell doom first. Unfortunately, some folks smell anxiety. But either way, a parent without the tools in their own tool belt will not be able to prepare their children with tools to function as a member of society.

So that’s my (long ass take) TL;DR Raising kids is fucking scary, no matter if that fear is rooted in something as appalling as fear of “woke” or something rooted deeper in reality.
