Ever hear of public primary and high school. It’s free. You just need to make the kids show up so that they don’t end up being criminals.

Yeah sure every school is equally well funded enough to stop kids from doing crimes. Crimes never occurr at schools.

Communities should have cultures that value education and shame kids for trashing the school. This doesn’t happen in other non-ghetto areas. Kids just go to school and learn like civilized people.

This doesn’t happen in other non-ghetto areas.

Except in the suburbs where kids are homeschooled the "Christian" way. But I guess it's okay with them. Can't imagine white it's different to you.

I know someone who was homeschooled atheist and became a doctor. Not sure what your point is. The parents cared about their education and raised them well.

Oh, well that definitely means all that unregulated anti-science Christian homeschooling prepares kids for the real world. There is also a huge problem with abuse and neglect in homeschooling. But they're suburban and white so somehow it's different.

There are problems with anything. I’m not saying that’s the answer for everyone, but it’s better a lot of times than having disengaged parents. On the positive part of that spectrum, I’ve seen a fairly dumb kid, who was getting in with the wrong crowd be pulled from school by his parents and homeschooled such that he is now a doctor.

I showed you a link that talks about the giant problem of abuse and neglect in homeschool and your response is "there are problems with anything?"

And then you said-

I’m not saying that’s the answer for everyone, but it’s better a lot of times than having disengaged parents.

Which makes you think you didn't even look at the link. The whole point is that lots of homeschoolers do have disengaged parents.

In most states, homeschooling is entirely unregulated. I have no idea why you think it's a good solution for any but a very small number of children. Your anecdotal example doesn't change that.

My point is that engaged parents work. Homeschooling aside. Your seem fixated on that, but it wasn’t the main topic. You are diverting the conversation with a false dichotomy.

If that was your point, then maybe you should realize that there are lots of engaged parents in "ghetto" areas and lots of disengaged parents that aren't in "ghetto" areas. And my point was we all know what you meant when you use the term "ghetto."
