It's awful that we waste so much time in kids' lives. They should be living rich and enjoyable lives first, learning things to potentially increase their future earnings second.

I don't think so, and actually IF school was able to teach children to increase their future earnings it would actually be a massive positive step. Making huge amount of money is both personally and morally good for you and for society

As someone that went from an alternative, co-op k-8 program to a standard public highschool I realized I was taught more in my 5th grade class than in all of HS. No surprise I ended up in court for truancy 3 times.
-
The truancy was due to depression not delinquency. How many young people today are suffering because they don't understand that their environment is broken NOT them? School seemed like a waste of time so I wasted my time sleeping, reading and watching TV/movies instead.

I grew up in Bangladesh. Our 7th grade curriculum is more advanced than 12th grade crap here. They need to up the bar here, but no politician wants to tell the public that they need to expect more of their children.

Except for the part about learning to live with other people from different backgrounds. That requires time and rarely can happen with homeschooling.

Has it been your observation that the public school setting is the best place to learn healthy interaction with people from different backgrounds?

Did you like being homeschooled? Do you think it was a good choice? Would you do the same with your kids?

Am not even a genius, and could have graduated at least a year early. Thank goodness for theater class, which at least made the wait enjoyable.

It truly depends on the quality of your school vs the quality of your home teaching. There are plenty of fantastic and amazing public schools and a ton of parents who would be absolutely terrible at "teaching" at home. I say, go for the higher quality, whichever it may be.
