I used to be a diehard supporter of homeschooling. But then I experienced things in my life that revealed the nature of people and society. People are wildly different. But nobody realizes this because nobody really listens. People are different in much deeper and more deterministic ways than is commonly appreciated. There are specific metabolic pathways that are responsible for this. The answer is that for most people home schooling is a waste. They want and need to be in a toxic, petty environment. Intellectual development is wasted on them. It’s biology — not a choice for the parents or for the kids.
