School and Home School


 Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:
 
1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1]

2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling.

3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time.

4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it.

5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc.

6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone.

7. Those who can lead their ideal life of home schooling, the ones that I know anyhow, are quite idealistic. They'd like to dismantle the current school system, entirely if they could.

8. QUESTION: Is it easier, as a long term goal for improvement of education to get involved into the school system, at the risk of sounding redundant where there's already a system in place? Or is it more beneficial to exit it entirely and start your own whole new method? - Keep in mind the multitude of gears that are interconnected in society with school, mostly parents work schedule in relation to school. You'd have to redesign all of that for a whole new system. All the office jobs downtown, the night shift workers, etc. etc.

Side note, getting involved in school may mean doing something uncomfortable. Staying home provides lots of comfort.

Is Your Government A Narcissist?

  First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car...

Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak...
