unless you're having your kid homeschool 30 hours a week with a pod of 15-30 other homeschoolers, I'm not sure it reaches a critical mass Idk, obv there are many paths to enlightenment, but learning with a cohort generally seems to work if the school is good

theyll get active input into what they want to do, and theyll never have to ask a bureaucrat for permission to take a piss how many parents ask their kids whether they want to go to school at all would you say

I mean things like car rides and searching for restrooms in public will teach them that skill just fine I'm going to make my 2yo wear a jacket; there are some things I'm fine "making" my kids do but IMO kids need far less coercion than is imposed on them by default
