Marriage can be great when you learn to tolerate your spouse's lovely hobbies like staying clean and shopping.



While it isn't the best thing ever that there are two paragraphs devoted to telling women that they have to like football, and then one paragraph about "I dunno let women do their own poo poo sometimes", the general message of the section is actually halfway decent, even if the examples are weak as all hell.

I have one friend that used to ask me for marriage advice, and every single time the answer ended up being the same: "Find something you two like to do, and do it together, you idiot."

Yeah the liberal way of loving by age 12 and ending up living 34 alone in an apartment in Hoboken with 3 cats works way better than this outdated, conservative poo poo.

football.

my mom made me start doing homeschooling starting in 5th grade because my older siblings got into trouble in public school

it was kind of a bummer because I was a pretty smart kid who was about to skip a grade, but then my mom pulled me out and said, "this is for your own good" but she was a single mom and there was no one to supervise me all day

so I would wake up, watch TV, play nintendo (eventually EQ) all day, and then find the answer book and cheat on my schoolwork before my mom got home.

then every few years I had to go to a public school to take an exam and I'd freak out because I hadn't learned anything since 4th grade, but I'd always pass because apparently you learn everything you need to know by 4th grade

eventually I got my GED (good enough diploma lol!!!) when I was 17 years old and I never finished college or even picked a major

now I work on computers all day like every other goon

But yeah, I had textbooks like the OP. my science book taught that god literally created everything in a week and that evolution and science were stupid because they said we evolved from monkeys and if that's true then why do monkeys still exist, checkmate :smugdog:

How is it legal for people who don't have teaching degrees to teach their own children?

Depends on the state. In my home state, Florida, you had to have an actual teacher look at what you've done every year and sign off on it as being satisfactory for your grade level. Also, there's a free online public school. Lots of my friends used that.

I basically did everything online except for algebra, since I had pretended to have done it already and successfully convinced my mom that I had. Then I had to learn it all in two weeks before my college's math placement test and majored in math, so it worked out anyway.

What I learned from homeschooling was this:

If I had kids and didn't have to work, then I'd actually prefer to homeschool them. I would just make sure they knew of history and the bare minimum to function in life and get through college. So basically, social skills, basic computer programming, algebra and how to communicate effectively. Other than that I'd want to expose them to a little of everything and then insist that they pick a couple of things to learn a lot about.

I can't believe a beka is still around. My mom bought those horrible things and made me go through them and then made me grade my own work because she was incredibly lazy would rather lay around and listen to rush limbaugh and talk about how right he is than be a good parent. She was somehow surprised when I skipped straight to the answer key. Each time she caught me, she sure was disappointed in me, but not enough to do anything more than yell and cry instead of actually trying to make sure I learned anything (except for math. She sat down and made me do that poo poo at least a few times a month).

The 90s were a difficult time for me.
