    Is it because of school? I had a rural American education that gave me nightmares to this day. I don’t blame people who don’t want to send their kids to school but it still may be the least worst option.

      Homeschooling gets a pretty bad rep because 95% of the time it’s associated with religious wackos, and it represents an undoing of the kind of progressive state policy that both Marxists and liberals can agree on.

      I was homeschooled mostly to avoid the atrocious bullying my siblings experienced in the local rural school. I feel lucky to have gotten a comparable or better education than my peers once I hit highschool. The only exceptions were French, basic social skills that took a long time to pick up, and the fact that it’s hard for me to sit down and shut up in a workplace shrug-outta-hecks

        I wish I was homeschooled. But not every parent has the resources.

        Being a lone Asian kid in a school full of non-Asians is just inviting yourself to be relentlessly bullied
