This is why I want to homeschool. Yeah, I want to design the curriculum and teach them problematic things like Western values. And I imagine they'd accomplish more in less time without the school system weighing them down. But mainly because I think dumping kids into gen pop seems like a really awful way to raise them. I never bought the popular idea that children must be abused by their peers in order to learn how to deal with adversity. If I believed that, I could still abuse them much more efficiently myself. And I don't think spending all day with children their own age accomplishes any meaningful socialization. It seems more like something that would retard socialization. Liberals talk about a school to prison pipeline, then act shocked that we want to keep kids from setting foot in the pump that feeds that pipeline.
As for being naive to danger, I can take care of that, too.
20 years ago, the thought of homeschooling would have never crossed my mind, either for myself or my future kids.
Now? Jesus Christ, it almost feels like I'd be stupid not to try it.
