There are homeschool kids who do really well, but a lot are turbofuckulated lmao and the ones that do well are like the pet projects of parents trying to prove a point about homeschooling.

Maybe I'm just a poor and was given a break?

I got mine today too and no it's supposed to be a loan your next year's taxes or something so it's not taxed as you are expected to pay it back or some poo poo

what we need to do is repurpose sports stadiums into open-air schools that children can run around in. parents can watch from the stands and teachers can do their lessons on the big screen

Hell loving yes, execute the coaches and fill the stadiums with academia

I think that's just an accounting trick, like the tax refunds are a check distribution method they can freely utilize and so they just added it to everyone's refund for next year and then advanced it.

Not to get too off topic but people that bad aren’t living in the present with a coherent narrative like we are. They don’t really hold onto day to day interaction so what does it matter if she confuses you for someone else because when that person come later she’s just happy to see them again :shrug: all cases are different but one huge problem I’ve noticed is that people like to think their loved one is ‘still there’ if they can just penetrate the fog. But really they aren’t there and you can’t penetrate the fog. If they ask where they are you tell them. If they insist they’re sonewhere else despite all available evidence just roll with it. That’s been my experience but yeah all cases are different.

Yeah we were able to do stuff like that early on and to be honest in some ways it seems to be helping it just got to a point where we couldn't do that anymore

it can work but
- it’s 1-2 kids (real teachers teach 30-120 kids a day)

- the homeschooling parent is doing it full time
- they are following a curriculum that they probably had to purchase for significant money
- it is supplemented by lots of social extracurriculars (not available atm

making GBS threads on teachers is a hell of republican talking point tho, like they're mostly dedicated and well-trained professionals who are hamstrung by a ridiculous system and terrible managerial caste, much like healthcare workers etc. A lot of the American workforce is still like really viable under a better system.

Good news, I'm not teaching my kid much of anything due to competing and incompatible WFH demands.

YouTube and Disney plus are their only teachers now.

We'd been doing scaled back operations for hospital staff only for the last 6 weeks

But seriously universal education helps kids who would otherwise fall through the cracks and teaches kids some formal subjects that dovetail nicely with further studies, but people who have minimal or interrupted formal education don't like become uh, drooling morons, unless they're in a community of chuds. School is a lot about making sure kids don't get chuddified into uselessness. I mean school is really good but I promise your kids will not become feral in a year or two.
