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

I thought gopman was giving some sort of "nod" to the original poster for sending his kids to a charter school.

Now, after seeing his responses above, I see he was trying to prove a point about how bad public schools are, which makes the fact that it happened at a charter school funny.

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.

What's wrong with homeschooling?

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.

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

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

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

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.

Feb 12, 8:56am

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

Exactly. I am not outraged.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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