If your child knows how to read, you'd better get them in to see a psychiatrist because something is clearly very, very wrong with them.

They are saying this is a good thing.

If your child knows how to read at an earlier age than nine then he's gonna suffer in life so it is in the best interests of a parent to have them read as late as possible.

That must be one of the most trivial videos I've ever seen. The whole video could be summed up in two sentences, and one would be for the supposed feel good anecdote about her son asking to be taught to spell. The praised benefit is that they may develop a love for reading after they decided to learn it.
Or they could have developed it regardless of being forced or not, but with the added benefit of not entering their teens socially crippled by being illiterate.

Benefits of your child being a late reader: You can just download the newest 0.99 cent app instead of buying them all those costly books! If you want to watch movies or TV with inappropriate language, just mute it and watch the subtitles and your kid is none the wiser! If your kid wants to name the family pet something stupid, buy a collar with your choice of name on it and tell the kid it's the name they picked out, they won't realize until the pet is long dead anyway!

I just can't wrap my head around how literacy could possibly be anything other than an advantage.

Fully agree, the other thing that's so great about reading, is it's a test for reading issues. Now a days there is so many options and much better understanding of things like dyslexia. Or what if the child has hearing related issues? Reading's use becomes exponentially more important in day to day life.
While it's far from perfect, the disability acts in the US have really helped people whom are qualified and competent to do some things, but now what yea I didn't want to do it now a disablement?
Can you picture these kids getting a drivers permit? Voting? Or most likely (and to the parents most importantly) how can they spend all day on face book if they can't text!?!?

One of my earliest memories was the frustration of not being able to read everything, it felt like secrets were being kept from me but in the wide open and it infuriated my little toddler self. Imagine feeling this way into your tweens and teens. I recently had a lunatic try to argue with me there is no objective standard for literacy, I think reading a book is a good one.

I'm going to guess that most of these parents were traditionally educated in a public school system. The only reason they're able to shitpost online is because some poor underpaid teacher pounded letters and words into their heads as children. So.... they want to deny their own children access to the education they had when they were younger. This is so exceptional.

Reading is also such a sense of power for kids. It's something we saw grown ups do teachers, family, friends. To kids in even semi normal house holds it's one of the few times you called the shots. I had my little pile of books and I got to pick what I wanted if I liked a page I could read it twice and no one stop me.
I doubt these kids had the same "abusive" home I had, with bedtime, chores etc. But I think I felt more a grown man finishing my first chapter book than I did shooting my first deer, or getting my degree.

The amount of logic that serves as a counter-argument to these fools' reasoning and their refusal to believe it is baffling. It's like telling them the sky is blue and they keep insisting that nope, sky is red, don'tcha know?
Basic literacy is a necessity to get by in life--you have to read signs, instructions, legal documents, even mundane stuff like television schedules or something. How can anybody insist that there's benefit in being illiterate?
Isn't reading supposed to be fun, too? Do these parents just not teach about the magical and free form of entertainment known as imagination nowadays? Damn.

Man there are plenty of alternatives for public school outside homeschooling, like Waldorf Education. It stimulates the kids creativity and imagination while still learning the major subjects and it has studies that prove kids who go on Waldorf education tend to be more enthusiastic about learning and lets kids who usually had difficulity learning discover their own personal strengths. Plus they get the social interaction with other students. I used to visit such school for orientation and alot of the parents were....special. But some kids I know who went to such school became scientists and the likes.
Not every method of learning is for every child but completely removing education altogether? Oh boy expect that kid be riding that tugboat in the near future.

Waldorf schools are just as f'd up, founded by Rudolf Steiner, who saw himself as a reincarnation of Jesus, was a antisemite, racist, that believed Atlantis was real. And most of that is still taught today.

Yeah I read upon the crazy shit. The one I visited didn't seem to focus on the weird ass spirituality stuff at all and more on the teaching principles. It's really hit or miss with these schools

Well at least these kids all have nice clean places to come home to.
Maybe they're really good at homeschooling and teaching their kids all about the Bhutan Death March?
If you can't read then you can't read the dumbass shit those morons post in their hug box forum and blogs. I can see an upside

So if the kid wants to get anything that requires government documents they cannot, nice.

Guys, watch us throw out over 10,000 years of human development because we think other people are icky and ultimately die of exposure in the Sonoran desert, and in doing so making the world a better place

Like Medicare, food stamps, or
? Terrible idea. Home-free, not home-grown for these children...
