  • I mean there are a lot of aspects to this. Homeschooling allows abusers to totally isolate children from society. If you have an abused or neglected child the teachers who are mandatory reporters may be the first to see and intervene. Parents maybe totally unwilling or unable to teach their children see the unschooling phenomenon. This leaves their children totally unprepared for life or years behind their peers academically.

    On the other side of the coin you have schools that teach to test and rote memorization as opposed to critical thinking and deep understanding of subjects. They seem to turn knowledge from a wonder to be sought to a job to be avoided. The schools themselves are more about training people to submit to top down authority and tolerate a workday then education. Depending on the school they operate as school to prison pipe lines locking students into caracal systems.

    That people homeschool shows the failing of our education system and society. I have wondered about the social aspect as we live in a deeply violent and domineering society. Are homeschools mass shooter or abusers at a higher per capita ratewhen controlled for other factors. That is to say if the lack of social skills don’t manifest as antisocial behavior it shouldn’t be a problem. I certainly am underwhelmed by the social tendencies of many Americans even the charming ones.


  • Those things your former friend said can be normal ideas depending on the area and company you keep. The area of America i live in he would be met with hostility and be an outlier. It’s a large country and the different areas differ culturally. America has a lot of propaganda that cultivates this violent rejection of others as well as America being better or having manifest destiny. Various forms of media seems to cultivate violent misogynistic white supremacy in youths. This country also has huge wealth gap and a shit social welfare system so you have a lot of scared angry people who don’t want to become a have not and have no real community. It’s toxic here



  • Out front my computer knowledge is pathetic but, I have been enjoying articles like this as they are showing what is often referred to as the tragedy of the commons. This practice of companies using extractive practices on systems and destroying them is often used, ironically, as a reason why community management is bad. We are seeing right now the plundering and destruction of public held assets in a new way and hopefully we will see these open source items protected and not privatized as land borders oceans and most other things have been to the detriment of the many.
