[NBC News] Large Swaths of Children being hospitalized in Texas due to non vaccinations of Measles

Right. Keep those kids (their idiot parents, mostly) away from the normals and there's no problem.

 

I promise you I'm not, your sending me random googles with AI answers at the top. I'm certain of this, this exchange isn't me being opinionated like the other topic.

The green states are essentially a complete free for all with home schooling. When there are no assessments or notifications required, there is no way of enforcing anything whatsoever. I don't think thats it's good system at all, but that is legitimately the way it is.

I'm afraid that's me and mine currently. Boogedy boogedy boo. Probably not for much longer though.

 

Keep your asses at home. Nobody cares what you do to yourselves.

 

Look, all everyone is saying is "don't want to vaccinate your kids before putting them around other kids? Fine. Stay the **** away then."

 

They're not random googles, they are legitimate rebuttals. All I googled was homeschooling laws, you wrote there are no assessments and you're right but kids are required to be educated which is the point. My only point is the state has mandates beyond a parent's control for the protection of children like immunizations

Texas can ask homeschoolers to provide proof they are being edu6

The number one responsibility of government is protection of citizens.

 

There are only a handful of states that don't allow religious exemptions to enter public schools. Texas isn't one of them. Getting unvaccinated kids into public schools in the vast majority of this country is just one easy document away. But regardless, it (in the context of this thread and my posts) surprisingly isn't applicable for my personal situation, you're just being a jackass here, which is fine who cares, but so you know.

From the start I said this

So I'm confused what the rebuttal is to at this point, I think we mostly agree, but still am unsure if you're aware of how loose home schooling is in Texas and a couple of other states.

 

Thaat school isn't required in practice. As far as I know there isn't a homeschooling problem in terms of kids learning but if Texas is concerned it can require proof.

Texas's public schools have enough problems with kids actually learning.

 

Oh I understood all that, including the "jackass" part. I hope you understood what I said.

 

Here's a decent segment on it if you got the time

 

Is there a documented problem with citizens not being able to function in terms of employment because of homeschooling? Is there a documented problem of citizens living in poverty because they are severely limited because of homeschooling?

The state has enough issues with public schools. The issues documented in this segment aren't issues about people not being able to function. Certainly accredited schools definitely have more potential.

These states aren't spending time and money regulating homeschools but they require all kids to be educated and they have enough problems with public thy aren't going to tackle a non problem

Edit: not only is there no problem with homeschooled people being able to function there are no social or criminal problems

 

The point is that the "requirement" is bullshit if there is no monitoring or enforcement mechanism. Was just letting you know because it came up, my discussion on this was completely independent of the previous topic and points. The angles of outcomes and state funding wasn't anything I was trying to tackle in this convo, I just find the lack of structure for homeschooling in texas to be wild, and bad.

 

the outcomes is the entire point of childhood education, structure of family is the entire point of homeschooling for the families. The problems of public education is eventually the functionality of the students as adults

A family that cares enough to homeschool definitely cares that their kid will be able to function. You have to give conservative states credit for understanding this

 

I have a few friends of mine from high school that are ultra conservative. Express their disdain for liberals daily. The 3 of them that homeschool their kids sometimes really hammer away on public school’s indoctrination etc.

One day I chimed in (to be an ass) I told them I am happy (I am lucky my son goes to Westlake in Austin) my kid has honors classes and a World Geography AP class, plays or has played all sports track bball football, played soccer in 5 countries 10+ states (going to Dallas Cup presently today largest youth soccer tourney in the US 1st game playing Kent FC from England) has friends, a few girlfriends that have been cheerleaders, in a club that helps abused animals, gets free tutoring. Asked them if I should take him out to stop the indoctrination to home school and never got a response.


I understand homeschooling if a child has behavioral issues or is socially awkward and it’s hard to adjust to sometimes cruelty that kids and teenagers can exhibit. But to hide away a child from the liberals is hilarious. More power to you I guess.

 

Actually all states allow for homeschooling, the regulations just vary greatly. I think some level of evaluation and monitoring makes sense. The burden for something like a once a year annual assessment is minimal.

 

In TX, it's a trust-the-parent, hands-off approach. There is no registration requirement to homeschool, except for a letter of assurance if you take your child out of public school. If your child never attended public school, there's no obligation to notify anyone.

I'm fine with that for the most part. Parents should be trusted to do what's best for their kids. There should be other mechanisms in place to prevent abuse, but lacking an education due to parental choices isn’t abuse, IMO. Now, if you can show me statistics that 20% of homeschoolers can't do basic reading, then we’ve got a problem. That would justify the government stepping in more actively.

 

and how exactly could we gather statistics like that? Assessments lol

 

I mean, hey, it's literally the least they can do

 

Send me a PM if you got something you want to get off your chest big boy. Either I miscommunicated something or you're just acting weird.

 

Hence the winky thing, I'm just messing with you. I forgot the D&D was serious business. Sorry if I pissed you off.
