Video clip of Naval talking about how homeschooling kids is significantly better than having to send kids to school I don't have kids, curious what parents think about this? Hadn't really considered homeschooling for when I have kids https://x.com/joelrafidi/status/1882152338376532222?s=46&t=QNlz9swNdb9dxGQvZZJaCw

I was homeschooled K-12 and there were definitely pros and cons. Happy to share if interested :)

not a parent, don’t plan on having kids* I went to a huge, extremely diverse public high school and was in the public system my whole education I credit the friends I made, and their diverse backgrounds, when it comes to who I’ve become. I feel like with home schooling, you’d have to be extremely intentional in exposing your kids to other cultures and ways of living so they have a higher likelihood of being more emotionally intelligent, curious, open minded people. That takes a lot of time and resources my 2 gwei at least

The first thing I would do if resources weren’t an issue is pull them out of school and homeschool I’ll take every second I can with my kids

We tried all three with my stepson. Although for "homeschooling" he mainly had tutors from an education center. The tutor thing worked well in early elementary but it wasn't sustainable due to time and cost. At the end public school in a good school district with resources for kids with ADHD/Autism worked best. We had to move to a specific district though.

Very difficult to home school well imo especially if both parents are working. Also have to create a community to ensure socialization. My son was doing school from home online during Covid and he did fine but overall experience not great for him. Need to have those social interactions. Kids will also miss out on diverse ideas & perspectives. They already get their parent’s perspectives. They need others. I’d never home school for those and many other reasons but understand how that might be a good option for some kids & circumstances.

No first hand experience but some parents I know like the kids out of the house. I only know one family that homeschools and the mom teaches. They're fond of it but its mostly because they're not happy with the education quality and some subjects.

I listened to the full podcast. This was also my observation of home schooled kids if you had the resources. More interesting was the unschooled kids only needing a year to catch up on k-12. Interesting, but I personally haven’t seen it to know

Parent of 2 kids (6 and 8). I love the idea of homeschooling them but I don't think it's a good idea if you're still in hard work mode yourself (which I am). On top, even though I think they could be pushed more, their public school is great and they love it as well... and "no" our life doesn't suck :)

i like the idea of homeschooling but my wife is against it so.. idk, we'll see i would need to figure out a really compelling answer re socialization, as i do think that's very important. i tentatively like the idea of pod schooling for this reason

Also — wow he sounds like a really selfish dude — and he has no idea all the good things about a school community that he’s missed out on, especially when they are young. Pretty sad for his kids actually.

I like the idea of homeschooling, but there are some environments and relationships that are very difficult to recreate at home and lessons that are difficult to get from parents. I think about children who are coached/trained by their parents and the effect it has on their relationship. Sometimes it turns out great, but often it doesn't.

I was homeschooled Grade 1 => 12, as were my younger siblings. It's p complicated and results can vary. I loved it. My brothers did not. My mom stopped teaching in public school so she could raise us, so I had one stay at home parent. It was a lot of sacrifice, that I definitely benefited from, I'm not sure how my brothers feel about it though. I know at least two _desperately_ wanted to go to real school.

homeschooling sounds great until you realize you are the math teacher and recess monitor

Does he have a trad wife or staff? Not mentioned in this clip lol Homeschooling isn't practical for parents who work during the day and the way he describes getting kids ready for school is a huge exaggeration.

Depends on where you live. Our kids go to school. For one, the mornings are a struggle, for the other not so much. Other than that, the school offers them a rich learning environment we could never offer at home, with friends included. They also like most of their homework and do it themselves. It also gives us as parents the opportunity to balance their needs with ours. For us, there is no question: school is a great choice for us.
