I could argue with you further on this, but it's clear we won't see eye to eye. I get where you're coming from, but I personally think it sounds like a horribly dull and depressing setup.
Yes, working 9-5 at some woke corporation that hates you and pushes D&I on everything, ESG investing and constant propaganda pushed down your throat with shitty politics and performance evaluations annually sounds riveting. But yes, we won't see eye-to-eye.
Ah, I see. So you'll just turn to baseless straw-manning and mild Ad hominem, while additionally ignoring how I had explicitly stated that I was basing my opinions on how public schooling used to be, as in 20-40 years ago.
Not once did I ever even imply that public schools today are anything but a fucking nightmare.
Public schools then are what led to public schools now because we allowed kids to be taught in academic institutions which gave centralized control to the government to indoctrinate kids in a manner the government decided while also getting women in the workforce and disrupting relationships leading to single-parenthood among other contributing factors. While, I agree that perhaps 40 years ago public school was fine, it is only temporary and it always corrupts into something terrible like we have today because it's very nature leads to that always since it's not ideal to begin with. Much of the problems in the USA and western society have a strong correlation to around the time we introduced academic institutions (among other reasons). I do in fact think ideally, abolishing public schools and going entirely to home-schooling is the ideal and I think your system of trying to go back in-time to the point where things were okay, is only a temporary measure that doesn't properly address the underlying problem which is academic institutions in the first place.
And that's fair. I respect that opinion, and I don't exactly claim that my own position is much more than a subjective or personal one, which is why I was trying to conclude with an agree to disagree.
When I made my description of how your model sounded a bit depressing to me, I wasn't trying to make it as a personal or objective attack. I was just trying to convey how depressing I'd find it if my school experience was like that, I was speaking solely for myself there, not everyone else.
I also recognize that it's incredibly unlikely that the system can be anything but duct-tape-patched to eventual repeated failure if all we did was rewind things a few decades. But I also don't think that homeschooling alone is necessarily the ideal model to stick with in the long run. It's definitely a necessary option right now though, and probably the best path forward while demolishing the public school system and rebuilding the model entirely, sort of from scratch.
