You described my experience going to college in your experience going to a high achieving public school (which I definitely did NOT go to LOL). I tested well and was put in classes which were far beyond me and, my freshman year, I had grades that almost lost me my scholarship (and my parents were incredibly bad with money...they made way too much to get me "need" scholarships but spent so much of it that they were unable/willing to help me pay for it. So, I needed those scholarships.) until I taught myself how to study, which I'd never had to do before. I just showed up and got perfect grades. It's amazing how stunted that makes your work ethic until you actually need to figure things out for yourself! (I love that these are back - love more the reason why they're back - and my weekly watch with you is back on!) EDIT: Oh! I forgot to add: my sister, who is trans and has autism, was one of those homeschooled students who basically received no education. My parents pulled her out of school in 6th grade because they were tired of the discipline calls that were really just due to the school being unprepared to teach my sister (ie: in 1st grade, she was suspended for a week for "attacking" a teacher. That teacher had grabbed her arm and tried to force her off the playground because she wasn't quite finished with her sand drawing yet but it was time to go in. My sister fought hard until the teacher let her go. And the cops were called...). However, my parents both had jobs that we needed as a family of 6 to survive. (And, my mom was a teacher AT the school system and was unprepared for the consequences of attempting to sue them.) So, yes. My sister was at home alone from age 11 and all my parents were required to do was affirm every year that she was being home schooled. I remember my dad saying: "Yup, [s]he's still here!" every time they filled this out. Not the best system...I firmly believe that more regulation is needed around home school BUT the taxes that go towards public schooling should be returned to homeschool parents as a stipend to make sure an education actually happens. Ok, that's it!

Definitely a difficult adjustment. I never felt like I was less smart than my other classmates, but hooo boy a lot of them outworked me at first. It really came together when I got to choose electives though. I'm sorry your sister wasn't able to get the education they deserved! The idea of a stipend for homeschooling is interesting. I'd be a little worried it'd incentive homeschooling even when it's not right for the child. I'd love just having a little UBI for everyone as a treat :P

Trying to stay caught up on the politics stuff. Been a bit spent with geopolitics and Israel/Palestine situation. My brother in law, and his family, and my nieces and nephew are Jewish. So it's been a bit rough trying to navigate this climate of intensity, in general. While feeling awful for the average Israel, and Palestine people And yes, I am highly upset by the Palastine genocide, too. It's just so intense, all around.

also glad they mentioned the homeschooling situation. Also my nieces and nephew are homeschooled for learning reasons-learning difficulties in certain areas, and bullying, ect.. Edit: They are also excellent teachers, and know the materials inside, and out. Especially Science, and health, and history. But in general if I do have a kid I would most likely send them to public school. I have decent/sometimes better than average understanding of all of this. But I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to teach my kid things I'm not 100% in. I'd be more likely better off helping them out with homework. Plus They really do need diversity exposed to them. Edit: Although I will say your reason on long covid DOES give me pause. I just want public ed to be able to continue, though, to some degree. Because while it's not perfect, it's better than nothing.
