I don't understand how it can be legal to homeschool without a teaching permit and a degree.

The 'real' teachers are so bad that parents can't do any worse.

agree OP.

My GF doesn't see the big deal with this garbage since math classes apparently traumatized her for life and she get into a tizzy on the subject.

My mom used to fire back at me "well when you're an adult you're going to have to do things you don't want to get used to it." And she was right thanks mom for telling me to suck it up :unsmith:

I only school my kids on the b-ball court.

But considering that less that 1% of people actually make it into the NBA, I make sure they are well educated in hope that they achieve whatever other dreams may come to them.

Send your kids to school. Just because they took Christ out of the classroom doesn't mean your kid will be a complete retard when they graduate.

Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.
My middle class white bread public school was so terrible I dropped out at the beginning of junior year to go to community college and despite that all of my former classmates ended up going to the same place after graduating. Except that they didn't place into credited math classes and many had to take 3-4 remedial math classes. I would never have children if I didn't think I could afford private school.

Sending your kids to public school should be considered child abuse. Those morons graduate thousands of kids every year who can't read, spell, or handle basic arithmetic, and my 2.5 year old can do that already.

They also hold back bright kids and waste a metric poo poo ton of potential.

And the results get worse every year. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2013/12/03/248329823/u-s-high-school-students-slide-in-math-reading-science

This despite their bloated budgets, over $12,500 per student in 2012-2013, http://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=66 , with the US also still #1 in spending, http://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-education-spending-tops-global-list-study-shows/

If you actually give a poo poo about your kids and invest your time and make personal sacrifices to educate them, you'll blow government schools out of the water.

Unschool your kids and see to your responsibilities as a parent. If you can't be bothered to educate your kids don't have any. We don't need any more burger flippers clamoring to be paid $15 an hour to screw up people's orders, robots are going to replace them. We don't need any more special snowflakes dumbed down by public school going on to get "women's studies" MAs and crying about not being able to find a job, we need young people taught by their parents how to make smart decisions in life and be a self-supporting and productive member of society.

2 things on that

the advantage of socialization and having kids spend all day with other kids is a value all other things being equal. homeschooled kids are hosed up

most ppl who are homeschooled are homeschooled for religious reasons and are middle to middle-upper class and live in areas that dont have whatever shitass strawman public school you are imagining

so like in new jersey (America's armpit) or texas (America's butthole), kids seriously don't need to attend school? A parent could just let the kid sit around and give their illiterate child a diploma at age 18? gat dayum, son

Your crotchspawn are brought into a complex network of conglomerates with a lot of inertia heading toward a very bad end. No man is an island and no amount of education can save you from the impending disaster.

Why exactly do you think it should not be allowed if it will provide a better education??? I can certainly understand forcing someone to send their kid to school if the child tests BELOW their public school peers and is not receiving adequate education. But what about the opposite instances, where forcing a child to spend 8 hours a day in public school would lower the quality of education they are receiving???

I'd hate to live in a country where I was forced at gunpoint to provide inferior education to my child. That sounds more "3rd world" to me.

In new york, kids study to pass a test at the end of the year, in between you watch movies and get homework, sometimes. If the kid doesn't pass the test the school gets a negative rating, when the rating reaches a threshold, they get more money next year. It's like the NFL draft but with schools.
