Great Video!!
Hmm..not sure Christ wanted an army in his name
To be fair, I’ve seen the parents and kids that are against school. 98% of them are extremely unsocial and it follows them into the work place and affects who wants to hire them and who wants to be around them. Not to mention the constant bullying for being different. It’s all good to be social with your kids but they need a lot more than what 1 or 2 people can do for them. It takes a village
Can you tell me how you got your sample pool of alternatively education children and what measurable data points you used to concluded 98% “extremely unsocial”? Or have you met a handful or awkward kids and made some flawed assumptions about the population as a whole? I am not advocating for unschooling or keeping your kids in the basement so they don’t encounter “the bogeyman”. I entered the military as a virgin homeschool kids and my peers thought I was “weird” but I left them in the dust on my way to the very tip of the spear. I outworked and out thought my way to the top 0.06% of the Army. And that’s a real stat! Now I own my own companies and employ dozens of public educated “normal” people.
@@thespearing no offense or anything but it seems like you are the example I’m going with about anti social. A well socialized person would understand that when a percent like that is thrown, it’s not real and it’s just an exaggeration to prove a point. I just finished watching your speech. You changed my mind. 100% of homeschool kids are awkward and anti social even in social settings
@@thespearing also, being a business owner doesn’t make me think you’d be any better at being social. I’ve tried having conversations with my ceo and her son 😂
@@nic9061 😂
@@nic9061 socially awkward or not I realize this conversation is no longer worth serious consideration
Thanks
