TOUTES les associations LGBT postent la même chose avec plus ou moins le même wording je ne sais pas si on se rend compte de la dégueulasserie.

Avec ce genre d’argument on peut aussi épouser une mineure ou faire exciser sa fille. L’absence totale de moralité ou de simple décence est hallucinante.

Je serais homo je serais outrée que ce genre de personnes parlent en mon nom.

[It’s pronounced « me yet »] yes! So I've been saying it correctly; never learned a lick of French, and I only know how some words are pronounced thanks to my friend back in high school who chose French as her elective(I never pay attention when watching French films lmao).

Yes you have ! And congrats if you’ve never learned French for finding out the proper pronunciation on your own !

C’est bien il suffit que Marion Maréchal dise qu’elle est contre la GPA pour que tous les lobbyistes en faveur de la location d’utérus et de la vente d’enfants sortent collectivement du bois pour nous expliquer qu’être contre c’est homophobe et que de toutes façons ce sera légal dans moins de dix ans.

Et donc aux Européennes je vais voter pour le seul candidat qui a fait quelque chose sur ce sujet au niveau européen : Francois-Xavier Bellamy.

Les hommes gays qui viennent pleurer sur Twitter qu’être contre la GPA c’est être homophobe mais purée 🤦‍♀️

Si vous étiez tentés de voter pour Macron Bis comme toute la presse vous y encourage, voilà une raison de ne pas le faire.

Ah ça c’est sûr que c’est impossible de définir ce qu’est une femme jusqu’au moment où il faut trouver un utérus à louer.

tell me why~

a lot of you picked "for" or "nuance" and I'm wondering if your experiences with public school have anything to do with your choice for that poll. also should I make a separate thread with questions regarding public school?

I'm against home schooling in general for multiple reasons.

1. School is important for social development, it teaches kids to work together, how to make friends, and generally how to be around people. I know that there are obviously problems that need to be addressed but I don't think isolating your child from other kids is the solution to bullying.

2. Teachers and other school staff are mandatory reporters. If there is abuse or mistreatment happening in the home, teachers are required to report it. Keeping kids away from other adults that may notice signs of abuse is something abusers do to keep control of their victim.

3. School gives kids the opportunity to see different opinions and lifestyles. Be that culturally, religiously, or socially, it opens the door to differences in people's ways of living that help them be more understanding later on. There's a lot kids can learn from each other just by being around their different home lives and seeing their usual day to day experiences.

4. The average parent is not qualified to be a teacher. Teachers go through years of school for a reason, and it's not because they wanted to be in dept. Even if a parent does have some experience teaching, it's good for kids to be able to take instructions from different people, that will help them in the real world.

5. Independence. I live in a small town, we have a lot of homeschooled kids here and it's easy to tell them apart from the public school kids. They have no drive to do anything, they are socially behind other kids their age, and basic skills that most kids younger than them can do, they can't because they've never been expected to do it. I know of homeschooled kids who can't play any group games that requires turn taking, like baseball, because they have never played with kids outside of their siblings. I know some of my mom's friends who run their own businesses will not hire kids who were homeschooled because they cannot work on their own, they need their hand held the entire time.

6. Future opportunities. Homeschooling when done really, really well can produce some capable members of society. However, most people who homeschool aren't doing it properly. The resulting kids can't get a further education because they don't have the foundation to do any kind of structured learning and their homeschool education didn't include anything beyond the basics needed to pass. These kids often don't have a lot of real life experiences such as extra curriculars, electives, or anything that could otherwise help them get into apprenticeships, college, or university. I have seen too many past home school kids who can't work anywhere but their parents business because they don't have the skills to learn anything else and they don't have any outside friends to help them.

7. It creates an echo chamber. This goes back to seeing different life styles but it also applies to other things. Homeschooling has the ability to create an echo chamber of religious or cultural opinions, it can even lead to blatant misinformation being taught. I worked with a woman who had been homeschooled, she and her sisters were kept from getting the HPV vaccine because according to their mother "it encouraged young girls to sleep around" when I pointed out that HPV can be contracted through your husband not just flings, she froze. She had never been presented with that before, her parents never looked for that information and she had never thought to look.

Homeschooling is great when your parents are educated, kind, attuned to your needs as a child, making sure you’re socializing with other children etc…

But it can’t be systematized, because as great as it can be in some cases it can lead to catastrophic negligence in some others. Beyond education per se - and there would be a lot to say - teachers are mandated to report abuse. An abusive parent can completely fly under the radar if he homeschools his children.

Also female-led certainly doesn’t mean abuse-free, I mean look at the generations of girls raised by nuns in Catholic schools. I would have loved if the « good sisters » as we say in French had been actually good to the girls in their care but many of them were vicious. My own great grandmother had a daughter stolen by nuns who secretly had her adopted and pretended she had died.

Women aren’t impervious to ideologies that deeply harm them.

I’ve always been in favor of a parental salary but that’s another debate !

I was going to reply to a @unabombastic reply of my comment (in the comments lol) but figured it was too big for that I think that there are some significant advantages to home schooling for the first few years in our current society, and have first-hand anecdotal evidence to back that up (in the teacher role), entirely because of the social aspects. But, this is seriously tempered by the who and how of the teaching and definitely I think that the majority of home schooling is harmful, with first-hand anecdotal evidence to back that up (in the student role)... also because of the social aspects.

I think there's an impression that home-schooled kids are entirely sequestered from society - but it doesn't have to be the case, and you can provide the schooling and also have your kids participate in structured extracurricular activites - art classes, soccer, swim team, etc - where they'll interact with other kids while doing things but generally not in the completely free-form mostly unsupervised way that kids at recess do; and there are often home study charter schools that you can belong to who hold some classes that kids can take to have a decent mixture of "school" and "home school" - these are the best IMO.

There's still opportunity for bullying in the locker room on swim team, and an inattentive art teacher may overlook class misbehavior, but overall these activities have a lot more oversight from coach/chaperones, and parents usually have a lot more control over what their kids participate in this way than when they're just sent to school - and I've found that kids who do both - some good home schooling and some team sports - end up with a really good social grounding and skills.

Home-school can also work really well if your kid is struggling in school at some point, either socially (whether they're being bullied, just very shy and don't like being around others - forcing them is unlikely to help, or if they're having trouble focusing in chaotic school). Home schooling for a year can help perform a reset and re-focus, or

However it's definitely true, not everyone is a good teacher, and home schooling brings forth a lot of challenges. But if you're reasonably well educated, have a good relationship with the kid, and are either a stay-at-home parent with no regular job or if you WFH and have flexible hours, it can work - but you have to have the kid's best interests entirely in mind (... which is also the case just being a parent, so it should go without saying).

Oh yeah my mother was a SAHM for 10 years when I was a child and my brother was homeschooled until he was 5 because he had at some point a school phobia - my parents never really knew what happened at his preschool but he didn’t want to go back.

It was great, I have amazing memories of my childhood and if I have children one day I’d love to be at home with them for a few years. But it’s definitely not everyone’s experience.
