These retards probably go to upper middle class schools in relatively wealthy areas and conclude that all schools are like that. Don't get me wrong, even schools like that have a list a mile long of things wrong with them, but you can tell none of these NPCs have any idea what the average school is even like.
And the ignorance and arrogance to imply that deciding to homeschool equates to deciding not to educate one's children. This is why it is borderline impossible to have a productive discussion with retards like this. I got quite a good education growing up in public schools despite their faults, and I'm still 100% confident I could provide a better, more effective education for my kids by myself. I'd have my kids doing calculus by 14. And as schools and society get shittier and shittier, I become more and more convinced as the years go by that that is exactly what I'll have to do.
You can imagine how much these retards piss me off being someone who's self-taught in two programming languages and partially learning a third
Yeah this made me think a bit and realistically, for me as well, the skills that have paid the most dividends for me in life are ones I taught myself on my own time. While going to school for chemistry and mathematics for years helped land me a nice career, I frequently tell people that there the 95+% of it is useless to me and that all the knowledge you need for my job could be taught in under a month.
Formal education institutions are disgustingly inefficient. I can forgive it to some extent through high school as most of the little shits don't even wanna be there, but in college there's no excuse not to have the highest of standards.

College used to be much harder. Then they figured out how much money they could make if they lowered their admission standards and jacked up tuition. Now it's basically high school that you pay the price of a house to attend.

The task of making a plan to teach the basic skills expected from primary education seems impossibly difficult to them, and they assume everyone who does it is even more inept than them because they're obviously intellectually superior to those crazy home schoolers. Teacher told them as much.

And you know for a fact they'd probably clap like seals to any post of "what school never taught me".
They're socialized in the same way gang members are socialized.
