When I went thru public education for 12 years, not a single teacher I had ever expressed their political or sexual beliefs on me and that’s the way it should be. Students should have no idea what their teacher’s personal beliefs are regarding politics or sexual preference.
I remember this same thing. Why are we bringing all these personal/political views into the classroom?
As long as you don’t make it a big deal it’s fine. In 6th and 7th grade I had a lesbian teacher who wasn’t loud about it but she just casually said in conversation something about her gf/wife and the class just moved on
And in high school I had a conservative teacher who voted for Trump but we didn’t know until we found his Facebook page but he kept it out of the class
@@sullyproductions5757 I had a gay economics teacher but he never said anything about it and his partner never came to school. We never saw them together. He was all business in the classroom. This was 1982.
1981…my art teacher, unbeknownst to me, was gay. I didn’t find out until I was 25 years old and I ran into him in a mall with his husband. People who link their personal sx preference to their professional lives, have issues on a deep level. They believe that who they are is because of who they are attracted to.
@@southernparadise9896 I believe people who make their sexual or political preference their whole personality have nothing going for them in real life
You can ALWAYS point out a liberal. You can’t always point out a conservative… because we’re not attention whores and we don’t NEED to scream and be affirmed
That's so true!
They aren't liberals. They're Leftists. Not even close to the same thing.
So true! Liberal : "we hate stereotypes!" Also Liberal "A man in a dress with pearls and makeup is a woman" and "a woman in a flanel shirt with short hair is a man", but, um, they really really hate stereotypes. lol
Hello sir, I just wanted to say you have a very handsome face.
@B Love , I wear flannel all the time. Exactly the point, I gave birth to 2 children, 5 years apart. They actually arrived naturally, not surgically.
At least it was a calm discussion. No screaming and calling each other names. No interrupting. It was refreshing to see a respectful sharing of different views.
Watching this now, it finally hit me why my parents always asked “what did you learn today” coming home from public school growing up.
It's not that deep. Your parents just wanted to ask how your day's been and "what did you learn at school today" is an easy conversation starter
@@Mikkelasf And its not always that shallow either my parents both worked 12 hour days there was no time for home schooling so my parents asked what did you learn today they wanted to make sure that i was being taught, anything between a new formula or a new fact about biology my parents wanted me to be better than them learn what i could and take it somewhere now if you kids are coming home and saying. we talked about Mr Tomson's Boy friend instead of multiplication/division or even how to type and email or write a letter how about trade work how to read a tape measure how to write a cover letter something useful to be someone but people have deemed learning gender ideology so i dont hurt your fragile feelings more important. so yes it is that deep
my mom was so pissed at my civics teacher for some of the shit he tried to do nothing but a indoctrination class
I had that exact same thought
Education should include financial literacy.
yes 100%!!
Especially for high school.
I wish in my school we had classes in how to do taxes, how to do bank for savings; because I still don't understand taxes.
The school I went to had it as a required course for juniors, I am so glad it did
@@jkseraphim4 bruh we had to do business and marketing to learn all that
In the school I attended (20 yrs ago), they offered an elective called "On your own" in which this was covered. I also heard about financial literacy in my high school Psychology class. What are other schools doing?
I'm the homeschool DAD with the dreadlocks. Great reaction here. I appreciate your take. ✊🏿🇺🇸✨
Wow! That's awesome!
I would love to hear your perspective on if you think that parents can understand the content well enough to determine which standards should be taught in school.
As a conservative teacher, I support parents and agree that parents should have voice and power in their children’s education. I believe that they are the best advocates for their children. But I hesitate on the idea that parents should determine curriculum.
Less than half of my students’ parents have high school diplomas, a significant number are illiterate-how can we leave them with the responsibility of determining curriculum?
I would live your perspective…
That's so cool! Keep it up:D
@@juliekennedy9891 I appreciate the genuine manner in which you presented that question. I honestly believe if parents are truly dissatisfied with the public education experience they should make the necessary sacrifices to homeschool. At a last resort for those who absolutely can't, I advocate for school choice for this reason. I believe that it forces the market to improve and the schools who don't wanna lose money due to low enrollment will have to improve and appropriate their funds better to attract the trust of parents. This allows parents to go to where they feel comfortable for their education needs. You should look into the Arizona school choice program as a model if you aren't familiar. We literally have the best school choice program in the country and I truly believe that the monopoly on education for the less fortunate families allows a complacency in the public school system. They need more accountability and nothing accomplishes that like the effects of school choice. It'll expose the good schools and bad schools and reveal why and where our schools need to improve to stay open. The argument that poor kids can't get there is mute because in Arizona they are bussing these kids across city lines. Teachers unions fight against it to maintain power and our children should never be allowed to be viewed as a paycheck to our education system.
@@JiraiyaSama86 thanks family!
I was a child with abusive parents, and I needed public education. Not for the education, but as a way to escape what I was going through at home. At one point I was moved to a charter, because the school I was attending knew what was happening in the home. Although CPS never got involved at least I could feel safe for a portion of my day at school. Now that I’m an adult and a mom of 2 girls, I also know the importance of being involved with the PA/PTA.
I am very sorry for u having abusive parents.. U don't deserve that
I also grew up in a very turbulent home and I remember all my teachers fondly. In 8th grade my living situation changed and I found out the morning of that I had to move and I only had an hour to say goodbyes, it was all my teachers I went to without hesitation. My time was limited and I didn't say goodbye to a single friend because it was my teachers who made me feel seen and cared for. In those classes my teachers never talked politics or religion, they really just made learning something like history my worst subject incredibly fun and didn't get upset when I was a class clown but actually joked with me. There are amazing teachers out there
i’m a teacher, and I love that ppl are speaking up for parent’s rights. I don’t want to control anyone’s kids. I just want to teach them music and impact their lives through the subject. parents always have the final say in their child’s education, period. all i’m trying to do is go home at the end of the day, and pray on the ride home that the education system will get a reform 😂
Yes please keep it up my good madam or sir 😁 thank you for your services , being a teacher is not easy 🙌🏻
19:43 As a homeschooler I am absolutely disgusted that people would want to outlaw homeschooling! I'm Autistic and worked a lot better going at me own pace at home than I ever did in a public school. Heck! I actually asked to go back to home schooling in 6th grade because public school was boring!
Homeschooling needs to be regulated so that the students can benefit from the best possible scenario. Homeschooling can be superb and it can be awful. I have a friend whose ex-wife homeschooled their kids for a year and was terrible. He did it himself, the next year, and they excelled. The ex-wife didn't have the motivation nor education to do it.
That’s not something you need to worry about it would be nearly impossible for them to enforce that law just for the fact that if it’s your property and it’s your house, they can’t tell you what to do on ur property
@@Godstud No it doesn't need to be regulated, it should however be supported better with helpful guidance for specific tracks that people want to achieve by end of High School.
But regulation? In your scenario that should have been the husband regulating what his wife was doing. No thanks on a 3rd party regulatory committee.
Not to mention the fact that there’s millions of houses in the USA you mean to tell me they’re going to check every single house and see if people are homeschooling and even if they did, you could just stop homeschooling when they knock on your door and say you weren’t so that wouldn’t really work there’s so many flaws in that law it’s nearly impossible to enforce it who comes up with such ridiculous ideas like what lmfao😂🤣😂🤣
In Australia homeschooling is regulated and is preferred if you can do it most do for the first few years at least
I was homeschooled up until 7th grade. Public school felt like a dumbing down in many ways. I loved challenging my history teacher. To his credit, he would listen and do his own research about what I was talking about and we'd have discussions about it the next day. Unfortunately he got in trouble for it and for not just teaching the curriculum.
That’s unfortunate that he got in trouble. At least he was open to learning new things.
He sounds like a great history teacher. I would've loved to have a teacher like that.
Oh I was homeschooled til highschool. I know what you mean about public school feeling like they dumb down materials. Thankfully I had a few great teachers at my highschool that were actually good teachers. And thankfully I didn't have any woke teachers that whole time, I got out just in time cause all the rumors I hear now let's me know how far the wokeness there has snowballed into disaster.
Yep and that's why the laws are so strict for homeschoolers. That's also why homeschooling is illegal in places like Germany, it keeps them from reaching their full potential and turns them into zombies who don't think for themselves.
I did too, but I struggled with English. So I had to go to public school around middle school.
I had a history teacher in high school that just let me teach. Because his only lesson he had to teach for the year was the american Civil War.
Was great, I got to teach American history in a week that was supposed to be a month and I taught even European involvement in the American Civil War which my teacher didn't know.
English teacher absolutely loved me said my reading level was far above my peers. While they struggled to read the odyssey, I read the odyssey and the iliad.. so me and her had great conversations about literature.
I also let her know that America may note edger Allen poe as a poet, to the rest of the world he is a romance novelist.
I’ve been homeschooled for most of my life. Now in college and I get praise and great remarks from my liberal professors. The look of disappointment on their faces when they find out I was homeschooled is very entertaining 😂
My dad always fought my mom on homeschooling, so we were in and out of schools and homeschooling.. We also moved around a lot, so that didn't help(They're now divorced).
One time me and my dad and I were listening to the radio, and they were talking about how homeschoolers perform better in college and have lower dropout rates.
It pissed my dad off😂
He is technically not my bio dad. My younger brother his bio son.. he graduated high school, started college, and dropped out. He's probably the only sibling that is struggling financially. He wants stuff given to him and has far more help in life than me and my older siblings.. one who makes a good amount of money and has a job that requires a lot of intelligence. He had to learn and take tests just to get the position. He never went to college and got his GED.
My dad fails to understand that colleges can only teach so much....
Credit to the teacher with the make up, I don’t agree with everything he’s saying but I can listen to him. He’s so articulate and he makes such good points. More of him!! Just generally, such a good panel. Not just reverting to buzz words and pretending like there aren’t any problems with their views. Balance. Hopefully I didn’t speak too soon
nah, you're right. he's easily the best speaker in that group and made very good arguments lol
As a teacher, I’m there to teach facts, not opinions. I literally taught my scholars (students) about facts and opinions and had them repeat that just because you believe something doesn’t make it a fact! I teach at a public charter school.
@@need-money-for-porsche teaching is not for the faint of heart! It takes perseverance and courage! I have been in the education field for over 10 years and it hasn’t gotten easier! My perspective has changed! I’m there for my scholars to teach the curriculum in the best way I know how! If it is your passion and purpose, let that guide you! Godspeed in all you do!
@@kimodoms5154hank you so much. I try to do the same. I’ve been teaching for 8 years and you’re right, it is very difficult to remain motivated. Right now, because my wife is bed ridden due to injuries from a car wreck 2 weeks ago and a complicated delivery 20 months ago, I am having to be the everything for her and my 8 children. I am not earning enough to live without debt for the first time in my career. And I have realized that I will never earn enough if I remain in the public schools. This school year is the first time that I have ever lived above my means and we haven’t changed anything in our spending habits besides cutting back as far as we can.
Because of this, I have initiated my exit strategy of creating a tutoring business with a colleague with the hopes of that becoming primary income eventually. I’m not trying to discourage anyone, but realize this, my wife has been a stay at home mother since I graduated from college and I have been able to stay debt free until recently in California. I just want to be able to provide more for my family and this (teaching public school) isn’t doing enough for them. Building a business that could eventually give them the future I want for them does.
Sound a lot like brainwashing 😅
I can't remember the exact quote so I'll paraphrase 'The sign of a great mind is to entertain an idea without internalising it.'
Can I ask to add something to your lessons? Critical thinking. Just teaching facts; sure they learn the facts. People lie about what's a fact though, so what do your students do when you're not around anymore and it's a new topic? Gotta be able to know the basics but also gotta be able to figure shit out when you're on your own. People have lost this.
My baby is about to turn two and I’m already reading every book about homeschooling that I can get my hands on. I loved school and excelled academically but I’ll be damned if I send my kids into that current hellscape.
There are thousands of great teachers who either retired looking for work or teachers you can hire to teach one on one. On subjects you approve. Many teachers work for parents who homeschool.
There are so many great curriculums out there. You can get science lab supplies for even upper level courses delivered right to your door. Not to mention online classes, documentaries, museums, zoos and so much more. You can do it.
@@houseofhas9355 this is such a good idea!!!
Your baby is two, they won't be in school for a while. Here's the thing, human society swings like a pendulum, I really don't think that we will be living in the same society as we are now, we will likely swing back to conservative for another decade (likely after going to war again). I don't think these issues will be issues for new parents.
My parents homeschooled me from age 13-18. (In Australia that's the age of high school)
My mum also tutors students from a variety of educational backgrounds who need extra help, or who are particularly gifted. As well as adults looking to improve their literacy and numeracy skills.
Now I homeschool my 3 boys.
I'm sure you'll be able to find other like-minded parents who home educate in your area. May the Lord bless you, and guide you through your journey of motherhood.
When she said kids need to be "playing in the dirt and eating a crayon" I couldn't help but laugh :)
I was in private catholic schools from kindergarten to senior year of high school. I thank my parents every single day when I see the quality of the teachers today.
I can relate to u (I also went to catholic school)!
Can relate, although not study in a catholic school.
Same and same. We actually had a class in high school where we debated heated topics like artificial insemination, abortion, etc. Despite having an obvious preferred side (being a Catholic school and all), they were respectful of pro-choice opinions as long as we had facts and figures to back them up. It was a favorite class of mine and has inspired me to promote critical thinking and healthy debate to this day. If many public schools are less open-minded than a very conservative Catholic school, you know something's wrong with the education system.
As a teenager that's homeschooled and hated the idea of it, this was totally eye opening. Because now and days I find myself not believing it when I hear "I'm trying to save you from public school" from my mother but you really did explain it nicely for me.
Hang in there and listen to your mom, public schools are nothing but a Trainwreck. A little advice to your mom, tell mom to take you out in public places that would have kids your own age because that is the only thing that you will miss in school.
Your mother is doing the right thing.
You're actually lucky.
@@Cooliron24 thanks guys, I realize that now . :D
As someone who went to public school for k-12, you're not missing out on anything.
Get your kids out of public schools period.
Sounds good on paper, but not really a viable option for everyone 🤷🏻♂️
@@nightriderjazz1837 you're 100% right I agree with you so we need to push back " teachers leave those kids alone"
Tell that to my dumb mother who seems like she has an IQ of literally 7, she sucks
@@nightriderjazz1837 right?!
@@fu6604 in my city they play that song on the first day of school, for a few years now
I was homeschooled until my highschool years, since my parents and I decided a change of pace would be healthy (and that God wanted me there). The first year-and-a-half were actually pretty great. I knew 100% my school was liberal, yet I never felt like I was being indoctrinated to the degree we see today. Even the actual education stuck with me and has left an impact on my life. Second semester sophomore year, Covid hit and I spent that and my whole Junior year home. That’s when I realized that, when not surrounded by friends and the few teachers I genuinely had good friendships with, the system had insane cracks. My physics teacher didn’t know the work, the Spanish teacher rushed everything and I had to drop it halfway through Junior year just so I wouldn’t fail, and the choir, English, and art teachers exposed their wokeism. Even the assistant US History teacher began talking about how everyone is racist (upon which I rebutted saying I don’t understand how everyone can be racist while not harboring evil intent on any other race, to which my actual teacher said, “It’s more like everyone makes certain light judgements on everyone upon first interaction, to which I say “duh!”).
ANYWAY, all that to say I’m happy to have graduated unscathed in 2022, and am able to think for myself with all the good values that my parents and the Bible planted in me! :) Thanks for talking about this issue!
I remember a time where clear up through high school I didn't even know my teachers' first names, let alone their sexuality or political beliefs. Even in college, while I did know my teachers' names for the first time, I still didn't know their sexuality or political belief. Though... thinking back, a couple teachers did share their personal and political beliefs, but by then I was old enough to understand their ideas were garbage and would never be influenced by them. 😂
I’m 18 year old girl and being homeschooled was the best thing my mom did for me. If I was in high school right now, I’d be a wreck 😂
Just based off that one teacher's VOICE I'd assume if I left my kid with them I'd be opening the door for emotionally abusive, condescending hours of joyless interaction.
The comparison they made at the end was such bullshit- a black teacher does not have any choice about being black, but they absolutely have a choice whether to paint their face like a clown when going to work
That is just school in a nutshell for a lot of kids.
@@ATruckCampbell I’m lucky where I live. In a great area and the teachers have their treat everyone equally and do have black history month projects. They don’t reveal their personal lives or preach to our kids. I remember parent teacher night there were parents asking all the teachers about the woke stuff. None of them wanted to do any of that regardless of their preferences. They just want to teach the kids and make school as interactive and fun as they can. My oldest tells me every single thing he learns and I can’t be happier right now with how they are taught.
@@AvaaSlays_Swiftiewhat school is this, I need to apply there to teach.
And do you think this is ok?
We went from fighting peer pressure in the class room to embracing it.
Brett, I have to say this video is one of your best I've seen. The world has gone crazy. My hope is that we can get back to teaching our children the basics. It was good enough for our parents and grandparents and it didn't mess with our children's minds. Some states are waking up to the fact that the surgeries and ideologies are doing harm not good and are putting laws into place. The screening process for hiring teachers clearly is not working.
"Playing in the dirt and eating crayons" love it. 😅
Nah..the 'world' has not gone crazy..this is the US. Isn't it amazing how Americans think they're the whole world? Thankfully,the other side of the planet has not (yet) succumbed to such madness, though it's very much possible in the near future
love how brett always speaks her mind not caring what other people think
I like how she is standing up for women!
That's why we call her Based Cooper.
even when shes wrong! gotta give props to her
@@LordofChaos42 I would love your view on where she is wrong. I am genuinely interested in examples of this. Because I am focused on hearing conflicting ideas. I want to see both sides of a subject.
Yeah I appreciate that too, and that’s the reason I come back to this channel. However, if I’m being honest, she is incredibly ideologically captured and this show is filtered through that ideology and doesn’t present arguments with integrity. I view this show as entertainment instead of reasonable political dialogue.
Brett, people still need to remember that interaction at home is one of the most powerful learning tools parents have. Spending time with your child is very important, and these days many parents don't spend enough time interacting with their child/children.
Right.
I had the suggestion to get them into community gatherings so they can socialize with other people but around people they their parents want them around.
One that is very common and most accessible is church.
Sure doesn’t have to be for religion but its usually comprised of people who have good morals and common sense beliefs.
Usually people who live in the real world and Christian’s usually know that not everyone is religious so they know how to tolerate different beliefs without throwing a tantrum.
Other activities in communities as well but church is the best one to kinda give a quick idea of what could be useful.
I’m a teacher and I agree. Then these children come to school and need constant interaction from their teachers because they lack that interaction with their parents at home.
I had conversation with my younger cousins (ages 9 and 6) about what was happening in school. They spent at least 15 minutes trying to explain drag queens to me. It was mortifying. If that doesn’t say something about the public schools what does
That's very unsettling, but not shocking to me. There's no form of depravity the Left won't embrace, to get their twisted message across.
I wish there was a part 2 to this. Thanks.
This was a fairly civil debate.
even the makeup dude was polite
@@BenJUpole Meh, there were a few times where he was coming off as a bit of a conceited smart@$$.

I am an elementary school teacher and I wholeheartedly agree that parents need to be a part of their child’s education. I honestly think that the lack of parent involvement is the biggest issue there is. The students with horrible parents are the same kids who turn out to be massive behavior issues and distractions in class. The students with two parents at home that are deeply invested in them are the students who will succeed and excel. That being said, if my student was placed in those two teachers classes, I would request a change.
Excel how? In academic groups, because that's not successful most of the time. 90% of school was a waste of time for everyone around me. We only need the reading, math, and science.
The rest of it was pointless, and I have succeeded in a trade, and none of that was in the curriculum.
In fact teachers only encourage academic success, never anything else. So I did very poorly in public education.
I'm sure parents would be more engaged if we could agree on what to teach.
As a student in a small town in Mississippi, my school I very conservative and Christian. Once our school forgot to do the pledge of allegiance, so me and my friends and I were now we doing this, and we got up and did it ourselves! Also, recently, kids have invited people to church over the intercom, which I think is amazing. I have an amazing school, and I wish everyone had a school like mine.
Watching this makes me realize how lucky I am to have the education system I’m in. K-12 with public school but in my Junior year of highschool, I started the IB Program and all of my teachers were very big on not letting their personal biases in but also recognizing all of the different view point. For example, my English teacher when going over grammar and pronouns mentioned that in traditional English, they was not used for a singular person but as time went by, using they to address one person become part of the vernacular. And today it can now be recognized as grammatically accurate but not in formal, traditional English. The same goes with my history teacher when it came to religion. We had an entire day where we talked about the rise of Christianity where we all got to discuss our own beliefs and learn about the other beliefs we have now and that were existing at the time. It was structured so I always had all the options and was never taught one or the other and I will forever appreciate it because I learned how to form my own opinions.
We pulled our15 year old out of school after Christmas. It’s going great
Edit: I graduated with my education degree and I was a teacher before my children were born. Pulling our daughter out was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and I wish we would’ve done it for our son when he was still in school
What about like social life
@@cbandit7715 clubs/activities/sports etc
@@cbandit7715 There are a lot of groups for homeschoolers where you can meet other homeschoolers. There are also sports, hobby clubs, and you can sometimes even join activities or sports at public schools.
@@cbandit7715 I'm curious what social life you get at school. Does sitting in a classroom listening to the teacher constitute a social life? Or am I uninformed about what kids do in school?
are you being serious@@delightfulgenius4635
I graduated from a public high school last year and I can say I know first hand how truly awful it is. My Jr year was during Covid which obviously came with a lot of changes to keep students in school in person, not all of which made logical sense. I was essentially kicked out of my school for a day for asking too many questions. My vice principal told me to my face that my opinion didn’t matter and was going to send me to detention but I walked out before she had a chance. Public school should never be praised for being the way it is today and it pains me that kids, including my younger brother, are forced to go every single day.
F that! I'm sorry you had to deal with such crap. It's like our country is a sinking ship and there are SO MANY holes it's hard to know where to fix first.
@@CaseyAvalon That is a good way of putting it. I actually stood my ground when she tried to get me to comply, I don’t think she was expecting resistance because so many people my age just do what they’re told. I played her game and I won, I was probably the only person in my school to have special permission to not “follow the rules” in the end. So I think it starts with individual battles. If we all stand our ground we can’t all fail.
Tbh, that’s their school rules. Your opinion as a student did not matter to them.
It’s an opinion. You went to that school as an optional action.
You had no power unless the rest of the school students backed you up.
Public school isn’t made for smart common sense education.
It’s education on beliefs.
You learn more from self teaching.
It’s a battle out there especially against the staff.
I had very different briefs, humor and generally the opposite from all my teachers.
They hated me so much but they didn’t shut me up despite my best efforts.
They never expletives someone who didn’t just give them respect.
And they sure were not gonna earn it.
@@epgamer1145 Yeah, I was very polite up until that point. I never really trusted schools but that was the year that I found out why. I knew that there was no way that I could rally my fellow students because they’re all too passive, all I could do was hope I could be an example. I saw a few students follow in my footsteps but I never brought attention to them because I didn’t want them to get in trouble too, I did however point out the staff who didn’t follow the same rules that they would then yell at the students for not following. All things considered I went to a good school, it was newly built and I genuinely had some really good teachers. I found by talking to a lot of teachers that a lot of them (at my school) just genuinely like to teach. I brought up my thoughts of how the school system works and they would agree with me. It wasn’t until I started poking around the “higher ups,” the administration who self proclaimed their authority over others that I found an issue.
@@Abbey-Melon right. A lot of teachers would side with you but they would go against teacher guide lines and end up fired.
In their shoes they rather keep their jobs and end up losing a student. Knowing that you will have better success in a different school.
I got kicked out o g my school once for not being able to turn in work that the assignment wasn’t even taught so I couldn’t give an answer to the questions being asked.
They actually pre determined they were gonna expel me after the first repeat but that was more so a problem with the teachers.
That was a closed community though so everyone knew everyone.
Work quickly got around that I was saying the teachers were not Teaching us properly.
It was so bad that we had to have dedicated days where it was just a whole period of working on one assignment it was so backed up.
Kids there had no personal life because of how behind they were.
This is suppose to be a highly rated private school to, a bit ironic.
So all teachers knew it but they wouldn’t say anything.
Despite it not really being against teacher guide lines, they cared more about what people thought about them than to actually officially address the situation and work to fix it.
As I see it, them kicking me out was the best idea they ever had. I found way better schools down the line and they actually have a good system going.
So even private schools have their down sides. It really depends on what kind of people are running it.
The people here were more concerned about what others thought about them and the principle looked down to anyone like they were lesser than her even dismissing my parents concerns on how the school is being ran. That isn’t something I see as being worthy of respect.
Dude, I'm in 9th grade with people that don't even know what nouns are... Unbelievable! I wanna move on from this ridiculous school system that tries to keep me on the same level as everyone and tries to make me the same learner as everyone else!
Great video! Thank you for sharing .
I think that it is okay to shield your child from something that could potentially hurt them in the future absolutely! Hey Brett! I'm 33 and you're younger than I am and I look up to you to be honest!
hi brett, i love your content, as a 16 year old conservative girl your voice is incredible and so inspiring. thank you for all you do!
Honestly I don’t remember 90% of what I learned in school, especially when I wasn’t interested in what was being taught. Also felt like I was Learning the same shit in every grade…..
When I was in public school (2014) I didn’t even know if my teachers were married or not. It simply was not discussed. It’s shocking to see how bad it’s gotten.
I loved being homeschooled it was such a blessing.
I’m homeschooled, and I agree. I’m in middle school and I could not imagine being in the public school system right now.
Me too! My dad's parents were horrified when my parents decided to homeschool, but my Grandpa was a strong conservative and about 10 years ago he told me that the public school system has gone down the drain and it's a good thing I was homeschooled! 😆
Same here! I cannot imagine what person I would’ve been if I were in public school.
Being homeschooled is probably the best thing for anyone.
Currently suffering in us public school and fighting my mother to get me into homeschool, it's possible yet all she does is argue because she's a lazy and annoying piece of trash
My husband is the man with the black leather coat, the homeschool dad of 7 we have 8 now! 💪🏽
Homeschooling is amazing. I love to see more black families doing it.
Congratulations on your 8th! And as a woman who grew up fully homeschooled, I'm really happy to see other families joining the movement!
That probably explains his patience. 👍
@@houseofhas9355 thank you!
@@anichka101 Thank you!! COVID made us do it and we're never going back! Bc the school indoctrination only got worse!
One of the biggest things the activists are trying SO hard to dodge is "age appropriate." I honestly believe that EVERYTHING should be taught, once the student is mature enough to learn it and emotionally mature enough to handle it. I would NEVER condone teaching kids 6-10 years old about war atrocities across history, the blood, the gore, the impaling, the burnings at the stake, the inhumane treatment of others. Those kids are not ready for that! Those same kids are NOT READY to be introduced into sexual activity (even the most bland, conservative sexual activity). They are coming for our kids. Don't let them take our kids. Don't let them damage and ruin our kids. Protect the kids!
An Excellent presentation, loving your imput more than you ever know. Thank you Brett.
Someone inform that Desmond guy that we don't send our children to school to validate the teacher's feelings
My grandparents make fun of me for being homeschooled even though I’m skipping a grade. I’m so happy that my mom chose for me to be homeschooled, if not I would’ve never gotten to excel in school this much.
(If you’re wonder how I socialize, I go to co-ops on different days of the week. Please stop asking me the same question over and over again 😂)
(I did change my comment a lot but thank most of you guys for being nice to me in the comments! I really needed to hear some of these comments so thank you!!) (I’m not going to reply to replies anymore because for some I’m just wasting my time lol)

What kinda grandparents you got?💀😭👍
Atleast ur homeschooled(:
@@bye427 yeah my grandparents aren’t the best 😭
@@ClaireFrances 🤡🤡
Well just remember that every time your grandparents make fun of you that your parents took the time to make sure that you got a great education and we're given the ability to think critically.
Homeschooling a kid is a big commitment in time and it's a huge financial commitment because the parent doing the schooling can't work full-time usually so it's a big sacrifice.
One that your parents were willing to make for you. And that's a pretty amazing thing, even if your grandparents don't get it.
I'm happy that you all put a video about this I got my little sister home schooled cause of this I got her out as fast as I could
I went to public school up until my first year of high school. Halfway through I switched to home school and that was a huge mistake. I ended up just dropping out completely because I was completely on my own aside from the occasional voice call from my teacher. My parents were never really the type to push me, and as a kid I loved it but as a newly twenty one year old who is extremely confused about the world, I wish I felt more prepared. I was always just kind of left to my own devices, but at the same time held to a standard that I don't think I could ever meet on my own. It was basically just me and grandma giving me rides to help me get my GED finally. Anyway sorry for the vent but seeing this video and you and all these parents passion about their kids really got me going emotionally. Anyone who sees this and becomes a future parent, or is in a similar situation where you feel alone, change something. I thought life would fix itself, and now I'm left with a mess to make my life out of.
Judging on somebody's skin color is totally not the same as someone seeing a man wearing lipstick and makeup and deciding to pull their kid out. There is no way in hell I'd let my children be taught by someone who is insane.
Exactly they always try to compare it with being black or going through racism.
Actually is exactly the same. The make up in that man´s face can´t hurt you at all, maybe only will hurt your idea of what a man should wear or not wear, but that is your problem, not his. You are conditionating what of a great person he is or not by the way he looks, it can be beaucse of the make up, it can be because of the color of the skin. Its the same. Or please show me where did you find that a man can´t wear make up and if he does that makes him insane.
@@sarahvictoria0 It is not the same at all. You can't help what your skin color is but you can help how you dress and present yourself. I don't think it is very professional or appropriate to wear makeup if you are a male teacher, especially when you are teaching children. If you disagree that is perfectly fine. If he wants to wear makeup or dress a certain way I think he should find another profession.
When you have this increasing culture of teachers taking advantage of their position to groom children and hide specific topics that are being taught to kids from their parents it really makes it difficult to trust educators. Particularly, when they are presenting and acting like they participate in the said culture it makes it very hard to trust them.
@@kbeezyk the problem begins with you thinking that a male can’t wear make up. That is your believe and not the truth. Make up does not harm anyone at all. What really hurt people is discriminating on someone because of their appearance and individual choices because of a stereotype that you have in your own mind, and that’s leading you to call them insane people. Can’t you see the real problem? I know a lot of male teachers that doesn’t wear a single drop of make up that aren’t worth a cent, but yeah let’s say that if you see a male teacher wearing make up is the worst fucking teacher in this earth.
@@sarahvictoria0someone’s skin color isn’t indicative of someone’s ideology. Black people can be Muslim, Christian, atheists, fascists, communists, etc. But the way you present yourself is indicative of your ideology. Men who wear make up are 9 times out of 10 far left. At this point in history it’s the leftist teachers trying to indoctrinate kids, so pulling your kid out of that man’s classroom because of his make up is justified if you don’t want your kids to be taught his worldview
I have to say that homeschooling depends on the parents. I know very VERY many kids who were homeschooled, and they don't know how to read or even how to function in public. Some of them have turned 18 left home and went completely nuts. I know one family who homeschooled and those kids are smarter than most kids. It's because the mom was not only very focused on educating but she also made them take classes at the high school, do clubs etc. So again, it really depends on the parents.
Yes but that is an outdated stereotype. I am an athiest secular homeschooling mom, and I know many homeschooling moms who are secular and use co ops and clubs to providing healthy socialization.
@@rythania7686 that just proves the previous point, it depends a lot on the parent.
@rythania7686 yup, that's what they said, depends on the parents just like it depends on the teachers.
That's why I gave up homeschooling my kids. Turns out I'm a crap teacher.
@@rythania7686 please read the very last sentence…it says depends on the parents 😂😂💀
i was homeschooled/online since 2nd grade and i used to hate it but in the passed several years as i've seen my friends at dance be brainwashed by the public school system I have become so glad my parents made me keep up with homeschooling/online...
I remember reading Harrison Bergeron in high school and the way some of these people talk about a level playing field really makes me think about that story. I always hated having to read and discuss it because I thought it was absurd to force everyone to be the same level of intelligence and fitness but the more I listened to these arguments the more I realized it isn't satire anymore.
It’s kinda great to hear Brett using the analogy of falling through the cracks of pupils school because that’s one of the biggest reasons why my mom homeschooled me and she used the same
analogy. I’ve always had a hard time learning due to ADHD and other things and I’m now more grateful than ever for my mom staying stubborn and not letting me go to public school
Thank you for speaking up for parents and homeschoolers! ❤️
I wanna see Brett on one of these discussions
Always interesting to listen to school debates from other countries. I'm from Finland, and according to statistics we have one of the best educational systems in the world, and it's (almost) all public.
I think kids SHOULD come after school with questions, imo it's the school's responsibility to give the kids the information to form their own opinion and ask questions. That said, the school/teachers shouldn't be ‘forcing’ or encouraging opinions but rather raising awareness of the questions.
An example of how this could be brought up in say 7th grade (~12-year-olds) would be an assignment where the kids make a presentation about a political event or talking point and bring forward the pros and cons of both sides or a debate in class. This way it's also not only allowing the kids to form an opinion and interest themselves, but it's also teaching them debating, public speaking, and literature (researching and writing down talking points/creating the presentation).
If you're only teaching your kids about YOUR beliefs and sheltering them from anyone with different beliefs you're only contributing to a society of segregation where people cannot be friends nor productively debate with people on the other side of the spectrum. Being able to show empathy and understand how other people think. There is always common ground to be found.
I love your videos. So sad our world has been going downhill. I’m glad I’m homeschooled.

From Pre-school into halfway of my 5th grade I was in a private school and I got the attention I needed. They saw I was lacking in reading so they put me into a certain room to better my reading skills and with that, I was able to catch up to my classmates. Then my family moved to another state and for 5th and 6th grade I was put into a public school that was just built and classes were smaller to where I had the same attention then. For 7th grade my family was moved again and I didn't get the attention I needed to be able to be on the same level with the other students for the rest of my school life. It wasn't that I was a bad reader it was more along the lines that I had anxiety when it came to reading out loud or people reading to me which made things difficult to focus on what I was supposed to be focused on and the private school saw that if I was alone in a quiet place my grades were much better. In my public high school I used to hide in the library to read during lunch before some classes so I could focus on what was to be learned that day.
My Dad was almost held back on multiple instances in his public school education because the admins thought he couldn’t thrive at the grade he was suppose to be in. He had to fight against that bias to be able to graduate in time.
And he went to school from the late 60s to the early 80s.
My 5 year old starts homeschooling this year, thanks to all these videos showing awareness about public schooling. I was dreading it at first but now I’m kind of excited. I love teaching/training, I do that in my warehousing job on occasion & love every minute of it.
This is what indoctrination means
I am a graduated high school student. First year in college now. I never liked the high school i went to for a multitude of reasons. The one that put me over the edge was this situation -
We had an AMAZING history teacher. he taught all 3 different history classes and psychology. He was the ONLY teacher in that school that 1.) stuck up for students. 2.) taught unbiasedly and we were able to freely discuss and debate topics. 3.) fought for students against the board even if it meant risking his job. -
Well ultimately this is what happened, but in the most unethical way possible. Our principle had come to him one day (he openly told his junior and senior classes about this incident) and had told him that the board would not hire him back, so he might as well turn his paper in to say he would not be returning for the next year. Mind you his next year would have been his tenure year, which i find laughably ironic. So he went ahead and went through with it since there were deadlines on such things. well it turns out, he went to the board himself to discuss and they never once said anything about this to the principle. So the basis of the story is that my principle used her power to overpower her staff into leaving the school and THEIR JOB because she did not like the way that he stuck up for students like a real teacher should. he left my junior year. the most heartbroken i’ve ever been. i longed for him every time i walked past his classroom. the education system is messed up and needs to be fixed. i know by the time i have kids it will be even more twisted than it is now and that scared me for the straight minded and delusional people of my generation.
i’ve gone to public school my entire life. and while i love my friends and have overall had pretty decent experiences, i can’t help but be skeptical of public school. going into 9th grade, the counselor would “interview” you with a parent to give you advice about high school. when my counselor asked me what core classes i’d be taking, i said english, math and history (all honors) and biology (for 9th grade you could either take earth science- which is like the easier basic class or biology which was more meant for 10th graders) she told me that i wouldn’t be able to handle it because it was too much work and that i shouldn’t even try. luckily, i did not listen to her. biology was one of my easiest classes, there was homework, but not 2 hours each day like she said there was. students are advised take the easiest route possible, but it sucks because it doesn’t provide a challenge!
Omg Brett’s so close to two million subscribers and this all in just one year. It somehow gives me hope for our generation
I fear most of them are Gen Xers like me and the Gen zers are not watching her. I hope I'm wrong.
She has hit 2M 🥳
@@themuzzer55 gen z here. There are some of us, I swear 😅
Went to public school grades K-3 and 7-12… won’t be sending my kids to public school. However, this video made me realize just how lucky I was to have the teachers I did have in high school. Every teacher, even my government teacher, always remained as apolitical as possible. Now that I’m an adult and see them on Facebook (graduated in 2015), I have some sort of idea what their party affiliations are. But it always stayed out of the classroom.
I thought this was a very interesting conversation and for the most part everyone was very respectful and listened to each other!
My teacher: “you should be able to form your own opinions and thoughts” *gives us all the information and doesn’t expect us at all to go outside of that*
Me: “so you don’t want us to form our own opinions you want us to see your opinion and follow it entirely”
In grade 12 English I wrote an essay basically saying that authority figures are not to be trusted blindly- the teacher had pretty mixed feelings about it
@@gatergates8813 seems typical to me I’m so tired of our school system
From all the homeschooled kids THANK YOU Brett for calling out woke absurdity in todays world😊
you homeschooled kids have no social skills
Both my husband and I were homeschooling up until high-school. I had no friends outside of my cult church and after being exposed to different ideas much later in life I never thought I'd homeschool my children... but here we are homeschooling. "Educate, don't indoctrinate." At least we what not to do from our own experience.
I am currently a senior in my high school and when I started in 2020 my class had 440 people on it. Now as a senior in my last year my class has under 200 graduates. I have more to enough credits to graduate and could have at the end of my sophomore year but instead they force me to stay for the numbers and the money. It’s become a big money scheme. Most of my friends and peers have dropped out and got their GED online because our school is more focused on drawing things out and we are just relearning thing after thing. It is really sad.
I went to public school from Kindergarten up until 7th or 8th grade. And then I attended a church school for high school. I loved the extracurricular activities we did at the Christian school! I joined a choir and learned how to sing. My music teacher in high school also taught me how to play violin. There was a statewide convention at the end of the school year where we competed in sports, music, arts and crafts(photography, painting, cross stitching, etc), board games like chess and checkers, etc. It was so much fun! And then after that we played outside with water balloons.
I've been in both private and public schools (I live in California), and oh my word. My experience in public was awful; the school was filthy and disgusting with rats and roaches galore, teachers didn't give a fuck about students, the school lunches were actually INEDIBLE, and I can say with pure confidence I learned absolutely nothing. The public education system in the United States is atrocious, I'm so glad my parents care enough about my education and wellbeing to put me into private school.
I am aware that we all have our own perspective on educational standards, but as a teenager, I just want to have my generation not be screwed over by what the government "sees fit" in schools.
That is horrible, I can't believe a city would allow a school to operate under those conditions. Tell your parents I said thank you for getting you out of that hell-hole.
I understand now why American kids hate school so much.
People in my school usually hate school while they were in school. But, they're kinda grateful and even miss school after they get jobs and grow up...
I went to public school and actually really liked it. I wasn't a big fan of going to school, but I still liked my school a lot if that makes sense. I see a lot of crazy teachers now and think of homeschooling in a more positive light now with these politics today, but I still think there are many opportunities that come with going to a school that can not be replicated alone learning with a parent, self-learning, or with online learning. Things such as the arts, concert bands, choirs, and orchestras, are all group ensembles. The painting class would have not been the same without the whole class there to give constructive criticism. I knew one homeschooled person who came in for marching band after school, so maybe that worked for all extracurriculars, like the robotics team, deca, or sports teams? Still, you would have to know it was going on to be involved, which is hard when you're not there to hear about it. I guess if you think of school as just traditional learning like reading and math homeschooling is fine, great if the student is very self-driven, but there are so many cool opportunities that can be taken advantage of if you go to a school. I am biased thought because I lived in a good district, and I know a lot of great districts all over.
Excellent video Brett 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I ended up in an “alternative school”… help building low income housing while getting HSED (a notch better than GED)… it was a great experience and a great time of my life! But definitely, super definitely not a normal school for normal kids. We were all crazy in our own way, got expelled from our original schools and every kid had a wild story! It was incredible and I was grateful the entire time 🤟😝
I went to something similar to that my last 2 years of highschool still got my diploma but I think the most kids in one class was 10 and it was ages from 10th to 12th grade in every class and was alot better than regular highschool
I went to an “alternative” school as well. Best time and education I ever got. The classroom sizes were small maybe 10 students at most. The teachers treated us with respect it was wonderful
I really didn't like school growing up but after seeing some of the teachers that are in the educational career right now I'm just appreciate my teachers I had more than I did before.. All the teachers I had are retired now but they were all overall amazing! They focused on basic academics! We were taught how to interact with others but that wasn't the main goal. We didn't talk about gender or sexuality and if the students mentioned anything related to that the teachers would literally "leave that conversation for when you go home it's not school appropriate" but that was with anything that wasn't school related not just sex and gender but anything! Like obviously there are stuff kids can talk about that isn't just school related but still there were limits. Sorry for my ramble I just want people to remember that there was a point where school was actually for what school is really meant for..
I want to see Brett on one of these shows. It would be so entertaining to see how she talks to people with different ideologies and just crushes them with her intelligence.❤
When you were talking about having to beg to do more in school brought back memories of sitting in a class room for a week or so doing nothing while waiting for the class to finish a single paper. It eventually led to me becoming tired and stopping.
Private/Homeschooling sounds great on paper, but not every parent has the time or money to make those choices. It comes down to just having involved parents. I went to public school where certain 'agendas' were involved but my parents were involved and steered me down the right track. I've also seen kids that have been homeschooled or enrolled in private school and still get caught up, so its not a automatic problem solver.
If private or homeschooling is not feasible, I would say parents becoming involved in the public school system is absolutely the best route to take. Their voices need to be heard!!
At this point it's afford private school or afford homeschool and there is no other option unless you find a conservative bubble and the teachers are vetted.
I knew public schools were failing when I found out this new Gen of kids can't read well, tell time on a clock, and even count money and give change back. I was baffled finding this out.
I loved it when the one woman talked about the school to prison pipeline. I went to public school in a small town, and I saw it a lot. I became aware of the topic in my criminal law class, I became more aware in my classes of kids, and seeing them now graduate, it's so true. I fill for the kids who dose go down that line.
I agree that public schools are over funded. A few years back, my hometown of 10,000 residents had $60 million dollars as their budget. To "improve" the schools, but from what I've seen, there is no way they used all of it. I want to know where the rest went?
When you said "they need to be playing in the dirt and eating a crayon" I felt that, because when I was in the early years of school I'd come in from dinner break covered in grass stains and then chow down on a crayon or sometimes even a gluestick 😂
The aroma of crayons is tantalizing, but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. That in itself is a life lesson.
So you are a Marine???
Hilarious we ate what we called slam sandwich. Put butter/ketchup/ sauce on bread and then go back to work then , farmer's daughter. We never had time for bs but it was definitely a blessing when we all made it home.
My parents chose to homeschool me in 2020 and boy am I grateful. I couldn’t imagine being in the public school system right now.
Honestly I’m so glad my parents put me through private schools because during grade 9 where I asked to go to a public school (not American, but Canadian) was the time I learned no one gets any tools to use other than a basic textbook, some classes don’t even have a projectors and use those odd light magnifies with clear sheets of paper to present material, smart boards don’t exist in public schools, the lectures are boring and basic where I didn’t actually learn anything new within stem classes, and for the 3 times I actually tried cafeteria food during the year I would of preferred to eat cardboard. That’s not to mention how poorly some (not all) teachers handle the classroom and more importantly how poorly some other students behave during class time. I quickly asked to be transferred back to the private school proposed to me originally for grade 10 onwards just because it was a much better overall experience. I understand that this is not an option for all and I am fortunate in this regard but the bottom line is, if you as a parent can afford to send your children to private schools it is a great investment in their future because by the time I got to university it created a bigger advantage and allowed me to grasp more advanced concepts easier building on a stronger foundation in core concepts, attitudes, application, time management…. then (from my experience) a public school was able to offer during my one year there, resulting in me paying just about a quarter of the regular yearly tuition due to all the grants tied to school performance.
In my opinion, public schools suffer from the problem of being to large to handle, because one board handles dozens of schools, while private schools typically just have one building to handle and rather that expecting a pay check for just satisfactory work, professors are instead inspired to go above and beyond to demonstrate their abilities or risk loosing the school money from withdrawals resulting in loosing their jobs. Parents have a infinitely greater level of control of how private schools handle children than public schools because the number of concerned parents required to take action is dramatically smaller also resulting in quicker actions because it is in the interest of the business to keep their customers happy, I’ve had instances where some parents did not like certain aspects of school conduct and after being put to a vote it was revised within a week instead of what I’m assuming would be a several months long process in public schools. Finally just to mention, every single individual I know from my high school has entered university or collage, where a couple of my friends outside of school received rejection letters or chose not to pursue further education, and that not to say not choosing university or collage is a bad choice because not every life path needs it but the fact of the matter is those attending private schools are coming out with more skills and knowledge than peers in public schools
Anyway if you read this whole chunk of text, thanks for your time, here I’m mainly speaking from my own experience and may not be entirely representative of other experiences, I just wanted to take a moment to share my opinion on the matter and welcome any other points or experiences going against what I mentioned above. To probably the one person that actually reads this I hope you have an awesome day :)
I’m 16. I attend a public school, but it is more like a private school in the way that it is run. Additionally, I live in a relatively small town and there are only around 300 students in my grade. Since I have been in this situation essentially all my life (I have moved schools several times due to my parents work, but they have all been very similar), I have never considered that public school is bad, because I have excelled in this environment. I have been top of my class and all of my teachers provide me with extra resources if I wish to learn more. But that changed when I watched your videos. I now realize that not all schools are the same, and, unless I find another school similar to mine, I will now consider homeschooling, when I was against it in the past. Sorry for writing so long of a comment, I just wanted to thank you for expanding my knowledge.
I COMPLETELY agree with you on individualized learning in a huge school. I often fell behind and suffered greatly throughout my ENTIRE school life. Guess what, the second I got a tutor, my grades went up SIGNIFICANTLY. I barely passed and I had to BEG teachers for help
there's a HUGE problem in public schools where, if you're behind for a bit, you'll be behind forever. your teachers can't go slower for you and help you to catch up and understand something you're finding difficult. instead, they pay all their attention to the students who are fine with the lesson's pace and are easily grasping the subject, while students who are struggling get ignored or even punished.
Great show , Brett . My daughter is home schooling her last child and I'm all for it . I would encourage parents to try home schooling , even if you don't think you're smart enough etc...
2005-2006 School Year. Wilson High School, Long Beach, CA. There were 4,600 students enrolled. It was my freshman year and I came from a middle school of just under 400. Talk about a huge eye-opener...
I grew up in private school and switched to public for high school due to my own choice of switching. I quickly realized I was way a head of my piers I scored 120 in algebra and primarily straight A’s. As my friends and others weren’t scoring up to me I finished classes early and continued to do other classes too. In the end I graduated with 11 more credits then I needed to graduate plus college credits. While I watched kids around me not do anything and still finish with one point above failing.
“They need to be playing in the dirt and eating a crayon”
Ahh I miss when life was as simple as this
im sorry but when brett said "kids should be playing in dirt and eating a crayon" I almost died hahah
I was a public elementary school teacher for 24.5 years in a liberal state (I never saw any teacher teaching gender ideology, by the way) and am now retired. I could, and perhaps should write my experiences and insights into a book (I started but still need to finish.) I went to 13 different public, private, "alternative," and homeschooled schools. (I know; I traveled a lot growing up.) I was never a public school advocate; however, some of my perspectives changed while teaching because many students had very dysfunctional unhappy homes, and this institution, public school, was their only haven and continuity in their lives, and this brought me great responsibility as a teacher. I helped many students learn and have a place to go five days a week where they could hopefully thrive.
Moreover, because public school is a routine where many children can feel safe and fed does not justify public schools' implementation of curricula and nearly insurmountable testing. It's a very complex problem. For many students, the public school creates much anxiety for children not at the level the school deems they should be. They often need to catch up in many areas due to their problems at home, which significantly impacts their learning. And unfortunately, a deep flaw of public schools is the inability to meet the child's needs. I had up to 36 students in my classroom (usually around 27 consistently), and it is impossible to meet all their needs, even with extra help, which is what homeschooling can give a child.
My husband has taught homeschoolers outdoor education for 27 years, and these kids have a better education in most aspects and positive home lives than most of my experience with children in the school I taught. Again, there are many factors as to why. While as a child, I did not have consistency in the same school, my exposure to and experience with many types of schools and their inherent educational philosophies made me know there is no one way to learn or teach. And, for this, I feel grateful. It did not hinder me from getting into college and earning two degrees. If children come from a home where language, books, and exposure to the world are available, they can thrive. Socio-economics plays an essential role in this. Again, it's a complex issue.
What you discribe in 8:10min is a system called montesori its very populare in germany where i come from.
Thank you so much Brett for everything you do👏🏻 you seriously give me so much hope and now I know I want to homeschool my children. You and I are the exact same age and you’ve truly opened my eyes to current events

I have been in both a public school and homeschool. In public school I was struggling because there wasn’t enough time to address specific students issues. But in homeschool I could improve because I could have 1 on 1 time and I drastically improved. Same situation for my brother.
I went to private school in Germany. The first time I heard my teachers opinions on social/ political issues was when we were around 17/18 years old in our final years when we were supposed to engage in diverse and critical discussions.
Also schools here are funded by taxes, but if you pay tuition for a private school you can write large parts of it off.
"The first day I had 25 students. By the second day I had 19 because 6 parents switched out of the class because they saw me..."

Because social norms are a tool for signaling to others, and others got the message, that a man in makeup teaching little kids, is a self indulgent , narcissistic, childless, Zealot.

I'M A BLACK GAY MALE & I HATE THE LGBTQ CLUB ....
I feel sorry for the other 19 that has to remain in that class.
In a proper competitive teaching market, his pay should have decreased with the lost students. They there would be a balance between his choices/actions and his compensation.
