How long between texts? Seems that info should have been in first text.

Right? About 10 minutes.

Probably sent in haste, then realized how stupid it was not to include more info.

Home schooling/private/charter schools for the win. Just saying....

honestly I’m not even sure how this applies. I’m a huge school choice guy, but this seems like you’re shoe horning this

It doesn't, but he does homeschool so I see why he thinks it applies.

It’s the cool thing to mock it right now.

Right now? It’s been mocked since I was a kid.

Again, homeschooled so they are still a couple decades behind current trends.

Baron

The trends of showing porn to kids & indoctrinating them to hate

gopman

Feb 12, 8:05am

Haha. Again your takes do not help support the strength of homeschooling. It does support the view you

You're not outraged that children are being exposed to pornography

gopman

Feb 12, 8:11am

Again the logical flow that you are attempting speaks volumes about homeschool.

So just to confirm, you are NOT "concerned" about porn being

Stop, he’s not saying that at all. Don’t put words in other mouths.

ChiCityCoug

In home school, were you taught or do you teach outrage equals concern?

Baron

Feb 12, 8:24am

Seriously, man. That’s weird. Trying to pump words into his post.

I'm seeking clarification. His exact quote was "I'm not outraged".

gopman

Exactly. I am not outraged.

Do you & Baron genuinely believe that "some" teachers in public schools

I am not familiar with what you're talking about. Could you share?

Socrates Johnson

I'm guessing that you are wildly exaggerating the prevalence and scope of this

Socrates Johnson

Feb 12, 7:28pm

I believe there are bad teachers at home and at school.

I believe any person will be introduced to porn 100 times more likely by

So documented reports of a few teachers is enough for you to ensue that ALL do?

I must have missed porn week back when I was in school.

This is the kind of garbage that needs to stop.

Breaded Hamster

Feb 12, 8:20am

I agree. I would love it if they weren't so far behind. I just don't know how to make it stop.

Baron

Feb 12, 8:25am

Come on man - spreading this ignorance isn’t a good idea.

Breaded Hamster

Feb 12, 8:45am

Nothing wrong besides the things that are wrong. I was more pointing out maybe a flaw in homeschooling because

Baron

Feb 12, 8:06am

Maybe because the school where it's happening is a charter school?

My post is real. The homicide actually DID occur at a charter school in Idaho Falls.

IdahoCoug

Feb 12, 8:13am

It is a “charter school” not a charter school.

Yeah, I didn't realize what it was until I saw a picture of the crime scene online and realized it was

Given the neighborhood, an overnight murder in the parking lot is not that surprising...unfortunately.

IdahoCoug

No so fast. I unfortunately have had to send out that text to my homeschooled kids before.

You don’t think people can be killed on charter school grounds?

They can. But you do see my point given the issues surrounding

I don’t.

Given that this happened at a charter school your points are falling very flat…

Feb 12, 8:20am

They can happen at a charter/religious schools & at home.

gopman

Feb 12, 9:17am

What happens far less at home? Most child abuse occurs in the home, far far far

ChiCityCoug

Feb 12, 9:44am

Well I mean you said you should send kids to charter schools in response to a post about a murder at a charter school

WP17

Feb 12, 10:47am

I don’t want my kids exposed to that, but they will be eventually and I would

Shielding our kids also doesn't help them learn how to let their light shine
