    They’d probably prefer spending time with kids their own age with similar interests, bonding over dissatisfaction with the unmotivated teachers. I had an awkward and unpopular adolescence, and even then I enjoyed the socialization I did get in public school much more than my brief stint with homeschooling.

      Is school the only place where they can bond with other children?

        School must have been awful for you, but it isn’t this way for many… And I would guess that many is actually an overwhelming most but I don’t have any stats to back that up.

          Yeah, school can be alright as long as long as:

          • you aren’t neurodivergent
          • you aren’t gay
          • you aren’t too ugly
          • you aren’t too good-looking
          • you aren’t too poor
          • you aren’t too rich
          • you aren’t unathletic

          I could probably think of more things but you get the gist of it

            This is only true for some places. You obviously have an axe to grind. I’m sorry you had such a terrible experience.

        Of course not, but is there another option with similar regularity and exposure to such a wide variety of people? It’s a societal microcosm.
