Comment on A Tech Rule That Will ‘Future-Proof’ Your Kids
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoSadly this doesn’t work unless the entire community in your area also does the same. Because your kid will be the only one in their entire school without a phone and they will be constantly bullied, and socially ostricized.

Or don’t send your kids to public school to get bullied and shot

It seems great at first, but lack of socialization is a huge problem. Don’t get me wrong, I hate public school, but even as someone who went to public school and even I still have problems with socialization. I can only imagine home schooling would be worse.
And do you even have time to curate their home-school learning materials? I mean I manage to learn a lot by myself from reading a lot of science, politics, history, and articles on various topics on the internet, but are most kids gonna be intetested in that? Or are they just gonna browse tiktok all day? (Since you’re gonna need to be at work and you can’t watch them all day)
The middle-ground would be for parents to create their own sort of private school, but then that’s gonna need a lot of funding, and its basically only viable for rich people (or at least “middle class” people), its not an option if you’re broke as fuck. Also, running your own “ghetto” school (for lack of a better word) is really gonna get the authorities on the radar, and you have a lot of legal liability issues if kids start fighting each other or get sick, especially if you cannot even afford to cover legal funds to defend your little “private school” organization.
