86. Yeah home schooling is the school of choice
Sat Dec 6, 2025, 11:57 AM
Dec 2025

For anti-vaxxers, woo-woo religious, Quiverfull idiots, MAGA and RFK lovers. And since most home schoolers can't afford the expensive text books of highschool, they frequent the libraries to compensate.

Every afternoon our local library is swamped by ragged kids and sullen teenagers. I try and get there in the morning when the homeschoolers' mothers are mostly still asleep. It's almost always the mother's burden to do the homeschooling. Never seen a father in the library trying to explain how to use the library to their school aged kids.
