Crunchy Parents General

What would you guys prefer, having a crunchy mom experience or a neglectful but still gets you most basic medical care experience?
the crunchy parents (lesbehonest, usually just the moms) claim to care so much but it often hits the point of medical neglect, but with the parents who just don't give a shit you might be starved and nobodies taking you to soccer practice

They both have their drawbacks. A parent who just doesn't care and is incompetent is probably not going to go out of their way to block doctors from doing their jobs. A dumb crunchy mom might be perfectly okay if you're a perfectly healthy child, but could literally kill you if you have something actually wrong.
 
It's such a horrible idea that parents can teach their children. We should all be really thrilled at the idea of it being completely mandatory that only the government gets to feed children their ideas. After all, the government can completely be trusted, right? We shouldn't be at all fucking suspicious about that.
Teachers, specifically middle and high school, have degrees in whatever they're teaching, and homeschoolers are obligated to use curricula approved by the state anyway. Your kids have to pass state tests in order to get their GEDs. Teaching jobs are so competitive in some places that many high school teachers have master's degrees. Not to mention that homeschooled kids are often socially retarded weirdos. Which would you rather have teach your kid, a team of people each with degrees in their field, or a fucking housewife?

If you're so goddamn terrified that our ebil gubbermint is putting bad ideas in your kids' heads, why do you even live here? Additionally, sometimes kids will rebel against your views regardless of what you do. The older your kids get, the less control you have over their worldview. The best you can do is to teach kids to think for themselves and be skeptical.

In the UK, there are huge concerns about the grooming of children via woke LGBTQBBQ pressure groups. The safeguarding frameworks drawn up in th e wake of some truly hideous child abuse cases are being trashed by them. For example: confidential disclosure. This is the concept that you do not ever promise a kid you will keep secrets. If you have a secret with a child the child is in a vulnerable position and it’s one of the key pressure points for manipulation and abuse. The trans lobby want that gone and actively promote in schools that teachers can keep the confidence of any child who thinks they’re trans. Predator paradise.
Plus the ‘no outsiders’ stuff. Again, grooming.

My kids go to state school, because I work and I know I wouldnt do a decent job but I can see why some people Home Ed.

annnnyway. I came here to moan on about fucking placenta encapsulation which is the main mummygroup topoc where I am today. WHY??

And usually they're education degrees which means the people who have them are nearly subhuman morons with the lowest IQ of any college major.

In my state, that's only the case for elementary school teachers. Middle school teachers have to at least have an associate's, and high school teachers need a bachelor's. However, a lot of teachers have to be overqualified to land a teaching job because they're so competitive. Pretty much all the teachers I had in public high school had master's degrees in whatever area they taught. For fuck's sake, my goddamn art teacher had a master's degree, and my biology teacher was a retired neurosurgeon. Granted, I went to an IB school, so that might have affected the quality of the staff (I wasn't in the IB program, though.)

The problem has more to do with the curriculum. Most states have Pearson textbooks and curricula because Pearson and a few other companies have an oligopoly on it. Even if you homeschool your kid, he or she will probably have to take Pearson tests, which typically require Pearson materials. As I mentioned before, the GED test in most states is written by Pearson. So basically if the clowns at that company (or the other ones in the oligopoly) decide there's something they want your kids to know, you'll have to put up with it even if you're homeschooling. Remember that teacher I said was a retired neurosurgeon? When I was fifteen, he gave us a class-long lecture about fucking sponges lifted almost directly from the (Pearson) textbook. It doesn't matter how qualified the teachers are if the material they're required to teach is crap.

Long story short: something needs to be done about the oligopolies that control U.S. education.

...Okay, I'll bite: What is placenta encapsulation? It sounds different from placenta eating (which I know some weirdos do) and god I hope it is.

I believe it's putting it into pill form. at least from what I've read. might also be just drying it/alternate ways to ingest it
You're both right. The placenta is cut up, dehydrated, put in a food processor, then ground up and put into pills.

What’s up with placenta eating? I know placenta burying is common across cultures, but eating is not historically normal for humans anywhere.
Most mammals do it (not necessarily for nutrient absorbtion, as is often the excuse). So people should, too. Because humans obviously give birth in dangerous places where the smell of blood can attract predators.

Rabbits sometimes also eat their first litter because they mistake them for mice and get territorial. Or so I've heard.
 
My favourite new age bullshit is black salve - a black paste made of natural plants containing natural strong alkaloids that eats away at skin causing abcess.. i mean the toxins to come out

Often used in pseudo cancer treatments theres groups full of adults using this shit down to the bone to heal themselves
I'd be giving these morons too much credit to say they dont use it on kids

Herr's a typical result of using it for extended periods View attachment 1307754



I mean modern shoes do cause all kinds of foot and ankle issues because they don't allow the foot to contort as it should, and gradually the weird force vectors can do real damage to your joints
Feet are designed to take a beating and get stronger like any other part of the body

Earlier this year I got a an infection on my finger because I cut it while clipping my nails. It blew up and was very painful. My aunt told me to use black salve. :cringe:

She's not crunchy at all. But she said her mom used it on her as a kid. She didn't believe me when I told her what it could do to you.

How common is this stuff amongst the crunchers? It's horrifying and you know they are using it in kids.

Not sure if true or not, but I read someone trying to justify it because some African tribe cooks and feeds it to the mom, or something. But even if it is, it's pretty much the one exception.

Hamsters do the same thing. Had a dumb teacher attribute it to handling the newborns rather than keeping the father hamster in the cage with the mom and babies, though.
