it's far worse than that. schools intentionally slow kids down, can't have any particular kid excelling. 4 hour a day home school kids can easily cover 2x the material in half the time. there are tons of home school kids doing high school algebra by 4th grade nowadays.
shit, i went to public school, and if i finished in-class work early, the teacher's response was to do more busy work. a lot more. teachers intentionally stopped disclosing the homework until the very end of class so that kids who finished the in-class busy work would be intentionally stunted, and forced to waste time. i would do the entire homework that's supposed to take 60+ minutes in less than 5. it wasn't until 10th grade that i got to opt out of that shit with college classes.
it is incomprehensible to these people that others around them can be so much farther ahead.
4 hours? It took me 15 minutes or less to learn most concepts and I literally taught myself (and some classmates) calculus and trig because my math teacher refused to teach
Which is my point. Public schools have to gear their material to the sub 85 IQ idiot in the classroom. Home school parents can gear their material to the learning speed of their children.
The primary purpose of government schools is daycare, and indoctrination centers. To those arguing against it:
Stop making excuses. You know how bad public schools are. If you cannot find a way to get your child out of that environment, by hook or by crook, I've got nothing for you. Enjoy your indoctrinated red guard of a child.
