  • I can totally see homeschooling as an alternative to the failings of the US school system, but I don’t think you can recreate the variety in a public school setting where everybody from the community is there. It’s not a want to thing it’s a can’t thing – I’m not sure you can have the scope of awareness yourself to expose your kid to everything to properly prepare them.

    I have ADHD too and was only diagnosed in my 30s, so I feel for you and your kids – Make sure they know it can be part of their superpower too ;)


  • for homeschoolers

    I suppose if the kids in a community being homeschooled are representative of the rest of the kids, sure, but I doubt that’s happening, though I don’t know.

    I am glad I went to public school after starting at private school because of all of the exposure to ‘the real world’ and all the kinds of people in it.



  • Raising your kids is ultimately about preparing them to be full productive adults that can seek fulfillment and provide a net good to the world once they’re adults.

    I don’t see any way you could create a microcosm in your home (any home) and meet that goal or not severely hamper your kid from meeting that goal.
