That guy is dead on.

Ive seen it action and it works.

Talking to my 3rd grader is like talking to a really smart 15 year old. When she has friends over the difference between them is sometimes staggering.

So sort of interesting. To reference home schooling again. This is sort of how we do it. Half the point is to completely break the old mold, the way we were brought up in school. Kids like to play they dont like to sit and grind out 8 hours of work. The DOE model is to raise drones and so K-12 reflects that.

My wife and daughter basically just have fun every day. Many lessons they make into songs. For example they use the rhythm of the Frozen movie song to learn about the circulatory system. Math is presented in funny word problems. They go to the library 3-4 times per week and check out 20+ books. Currently my little one is really into frontier days type shit, so she is reading probably 50 books a week on the topic. They are fictional books of course, she is only 3rd grade. She spends 1-2 hours every night zipping around the neighborhood on one of those razor scooters. They put on music and create plays and dance. She has this hawaiian dress and pretends she is Moana and they took all this construction paper and made props out of toys and household items and made the ocean, sand, and forest on the kitchen floor and pretend they are stuck out at sea. They cook and clean. They make kinetic sand and goop, playdoh, and silly putty.

Most days all I can hear up there is them laughing.

Half the reason I was such a little shithead when I was a kid was I was smart and I was bored. I could do the work faster than most kids and then would just sit there. Over years it made me so bored and lucky me, I also started to fall in with the wrong crowd because the troublemaking they were doing was exciting.

The DOEs program was to force kids to not be kids but to sit there and do 1000 simple math problems, read irrelevant books, learn science in the most boring of ways "for safety", etc. Kids should be having fun and when they are having fun their brains are more open to picking up new information and retaining it.

So I guess my point is maybe its not all bad, perhaps this shows that your school is starting to think out of the box at least in some ways.

You are raising little Hitlers aren't you?

I think the brown skin on my girls might hinder that

 

[NiteProwleR]

I'm just kidding, man even though Kamala says there are black Hitlers now
Seriously, though your kids are going places. Homeschooling is the future. I wish more parents invested in their kids this way. Your name is your legacy. Every generation should do better than the last.

I didnt do a great job with my first kid. Her mother was a fuckin cheating lunatic and we split when the child was 2-3 years old. That child has gone the wrong way in life and we hardly speak any more. She is crazier than her mother. I cant even tell you how sad this makes me, it hurts me down to my core.

When I met my wife I knew immediately, deep within my soul that this was the one, and we are raising our kid so much better.

Also, not black, but brown.

Jesus bud, I am so sorry to hear that, how old is she now early twenty's? I remember the shit you were going through with her mother.

Yeah she is early 20s now. She is your typical blue hair screeching idiot. The last time we talked she steered it to this election and said some really wild shit to me. Im told she posts a lot on social media about retarded shit.

Its my fault though. One, I should have never impregnated her mother as bad as that is to say, but its true, we were in no place to be having a fuckin kid. Two, I should have sucked it up and made it work somehow so that I could be in the home, but I was weak. I was basically a feral human being until 26-27 years old. Met my wife around that time and started to slowly sack up and figure it out, but it was too late by then.
