 You gonna give those kids that sort of education? 
 We will be homeschooling our kids. I'm an engineer and my wife is an English teacher with a bachelor's in English.  
 You actually sound like the unusual case where homeschooling is a good idea. More power to you. 
 Homeschooling with no education or skills is better than sending your kids to government propoganda machines.  
 and the kids develop creative adaptive learning, rather than memorization and regurgitation skills. 
 Ooof. I thought you were smart for a second. 
 Yea strangers are much more equipped to educate your children than the parents. /s 
 what is all this Statist midwit trolling going on over here. 
 honestly learned from getting out & about/school was subpar even years ago.     imo 
 Religion is a good thing  
 How can religion be a good thing when it has been scientifically proven that it makes children under some religion (even if it's unorganized)
1. mean spirited?
2. divisive?
3. more likely to shove things down people's throats?
4. disrespect other views and be closed minded?
That is what I don't understand nowadays. 
 You can't scientifically prove religion is bad... Some religions are better than others.
