90% of PEOPLE are idiots, ergo 90% of parents are also idiots

I still don't agree that 90 percent of the population are idiots nor do we have the evidence to back that up. Do you even know 90 percent of the people that live in your immediate area?

Guessing you're in the US

 

[Dakstang]

Yes.

No but I do witness the thoughts and opinions of a wide variety of people via social media and have passed judgement!

 

[Poyser]

US stuff always freaks me out lmao. Truly a wild country

 

[Dakstang]

It really doesn't matter what you think about Parents. At the end of the day they have the final say in how to raise their kids.

 

[Poyser]

I dont think thats true, the parents pass off responsibility for their education to the schools for the period of time the child is in school

 

[Dakstang]

And should Parents look at other options to educate their kids? Maybe. Private schools is probably the best bet.

I'm guilty of that myself lol. However, I have to remind myself this don't represent the majority.

I used to listen to a podcast out of morbid curiosity about flat earth, and the dude literally homeschools his kids so that they dont get taught that the earth is round lol. Wild. Parents shouldn't have carte blanche to do whatever they want with their child's education

Education, yes. Indoctrination, no.

A flat earth podcast!? Interesting. It wasn't KIF was it?

 

[Poyser]

Uhhhh some guy called David Weiss, he's been on the Jericho podcast and advertised a conspiracy podcast (Deep inside the rabbit hole) that he's a part of and I love me some conspiracy bullshit so I listened. He fell out with the other guys because he turned every episode into flat earth nonsense and started his own one just about that. The guy was easily the dumbest of the group but also the most entertaining so I just couldnt help myself but listen for a few weeks lmao. Dude was hilarious, one of them guys that just legit thinks everything is a conspiracy. He almost launched into an "australia isn't real" bit and then had to stop himself. Was like uh well I guess Australia does exist because of the people lmao

And it is ok to have that opinion. But we cannot force Parents to send their kids to certain schools. That is not freedom.

yeah americans are super weirdly obsessed with total freedom. i kinda get it, but its weird to me lol. freedom for yourself and your own choices, yes. once you're fucking up another person and especially a child with your bullshit then i dont really believe that freedom should be absolute
