That's the cultural issue for sure. And it's huge. My bullet points were the issue in the schools themselves . I do think there's utility in having schools and that not all mom's can or should have to teach their kids until they are 18. Certainly you could make an argument that we should all basically be homesteaders and not have any real commerce or " civilization" and so on but I think there would be a need for outsourcing your academic education for most people. It's to the degree and amount that's the question IMO.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2019 6:39 amI know a Christian woman who homeschooled her kids. Her oldest wants to go to the Naval Academy, so he wanted to get a record in a private school. Two of them tested there. Her kids vastly out-performed all schools in the area, private and government.
Interestingly, she applied for a teaching position at the same time. She was not hired because she had too little "teaching experience" -- as her kids just scored better than the rest.
No matter what, a motivated mother, with local educational resources, can outperform most any private school short of an intensive and elite boarding school.
That is where we really fucked up. It is not just the stark contrast between Marxist government schools and parochial education. American youth, by and large, have no real mother figure, no solid home as a foundation for anything, and many do not even have intact families.
Then we convinced three generations of women that the most important role they could fulfill (and a critical role for civilization), is garbage and if they pursue it then they are failures.

Do you think it was mostly to the benefit of corporate America and deflating the dollar that was behind getting women into the workforce in Mass and staying g there especially in the 1970s and then no one could really afford to be a single income house with family ? Like was it a cabal and real thing to disrupt the family so the centralized state would become all encompasing , or was it again just a consequence of decreasing purchasing power and ofuscsting the decline by increasing credit and having two incomes without any conspiracy behind it ?
