Homeschooling is never a. Better option. I’m sorry, but I’ve known numerous home schooled kids and parents. It is never equivalent to the same level education you get in a private school and that’s not even taking into account the social aspect deficit of home schooled kids


Some of the smartest and high achieving people I know were homeschooled. One is $100 million plus type of net worth. Much more well spoken home schooled kids than the occasional weird kid. They finished all their work by noon, went on much more and cooler field trips, you have programs for home schooled kids to play sports at private schools too.
This was a cool thread to discover and catch up with. Reminds me of the Americans Abroad column on goal.com

Josh Gatt, Jonathon Spector, I think Sebastian lletget or however you spell his name was also at west ham at one point. Was a great time to be alive with Donovan and Howard at Everton and Clint and Eddie and maybe Carlos too at Fulham.

How about you take this thread down?Never letting my kids on here again.


Santa not being real is the least of your worries about what your kid will uncover here.
I’ve lost friends and family. Friends were all guys I played ball with who had injuries and then got good at faking injuries to get the pills. Oxy’s and then Roxy’s which I don’t know if there’s a difference but apparently the Roxy was stronger. Mostly hard to diagnose stuff like gout or tooth stuff until it progresses. One of my close friends ended up taking his life as the lies caught up with him and then the mom died of leukemia. Then his dad killed himself. Horrible situation.
The feeding program one for kids I just read about. Some restaurant owner said he was serving thousands of meals/day/week. If I was implementing a program like this, I would have a system that flagged anyone serving over 500 meals/day/7 days a week and assign someone to do a follow up either to help support a person/agency doing great work in the community or to discover fraud.
I was wrong. They’re from Philly: Anthony Waddell Jefferson and Lester Brown.
My dad told me about it and aren’t there kind of 2 separate frauds going on? One with Somali’s and then one tied to these 2 guys from NJ that was the higher dollar amount linked to drug treatment and therapy programs.

Pro tip: Blame all negative data on minorities, immigrants, women, and pit bulls. And if you find irrefutable evidence that disqualifies these groups, hit them in their politics.


Holy shite you just described about 95% of every argument I’ve ever been in on this site. The other 5% was defending Myles Brennan in vain. Thanks for letting me know I’m not crazy.

You're the one who brought a generalized "study" to this discussion. A few posters called you on it and now race isn't important enough to justify your claim?


Why did you put study in quotes?

A few posters didn’t call me on shite. Replying to a scholarly source of a paper written by subject matter experts who devoted their lives to studying this that showed a correlation to living in conservative states and having higher teenage pregnancies with a simple “you must be a democrat” or “it’s because of black people” is not calling me on shite. It’s calling yourself out on being an idiot.

Your inability to recognize trends does not shift a burden of proof to me.


I think you’re probably the subject matter expert on inability.

Nope, it's just reality.


Fat, stupid, and racist. Real triple threat
quote:

His study showed more religious states had higher teen pregnancies. In other words, southern states, the bible belt. Which also happens to have the highest black population density in the country. Therefore it's worth consideration that maybe that is what's driving the teen pregnancy rate up. Perhaps a variable that could have more correlation than religion, worth looking into at least imo For instance Utah is a pretty religious state but also has a pretty low black population percentage and they have a pretty low teen pregnancy rate as a state.


Now do education levels and socioeconomic status.

I’m pretty sure Utah has better education rates, higher literacy rates, and better socioeconomic status’s comparatively as well.

So, pretty sure calling it a black versus white issue is lazy and ignorant.

You only posted an excerpt and no link to your study.


I posted 2 studies. Search them. I think one is fully viewable on the national institute of health website.

This I can believe and it would explain your current confirmation bias. The catholic church, its leaders (all the way up to the pope) should burn in hell for eternity for this. I had more than one acquaintance that was a victim of this as well. But again, the difference I saw was the other Christians wanted the pedo priests punished to the fullest extent of the law.


1 experience doesn’t explain or define anything. It happens in every religion. I went to a private southern baptist university. My degree is in psychology, I am a trained trauma intervention specialist and volunteer my time, my profession is emergency response. I’ve spent my whole life in dedicated service to others. I’ve been affected by, studied at length, and been there for people affected by this.

My view on this topic is rooted in the results of research as i was trained to do when receiving my degree and I continue in my masters.

I’ll go with my experience and research against any opinion of yours.

And most research about drag queen story hours seem to magically think it's a net positive for children. Funny how that works.


What research has been done on drag story time that just appeared as a thing in the last couple of years?

I've read this thread and I don't believe that anyone said ONLY liberals can be pedos. That's insane. And even if someone did say that, it should quickly be dismissed as stupid. MY point is that conservatives want them ALL prosecuted, regardless of conservative or liberal political affiliation. ALL OF THEM. If it is proven that Trump was a pedo, I guarantee you the vast majority of conservatives will want him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Will some still turn a blind eye, sure. Also my point, the opposite is true of liberals. The vast majority defend their pedos.


Eh, I’d say that’s mostly true. Liberals do seem to want to temp fate and put vulnerable people in bad situations, but they also support sex education and contraception in higher numbers which are proven at keeping teen pregnancy and STD numbers lower. And there’s a reference in this thread to a person who posts on the OT who has said that, so we can split hairs but that notion is in this thread and debated in this thread.
quote:

To be fair, I do believe he has first hand experience with the perversions he mentioned in his anecdotal POV.


I actually do. I was a victim of this in the Catholic Church. Blocked it out for most of my life, finally started remembering and reported it to my diocese and they got me into some therapy

Even better


So I must be democrat but even better when I’m not? What a dumb person you are.

How very odd, your studies have no breakdown by race or ethnicity, Why?


Why don’t you go find a breakdown by race and share it and let’s talk about it?
quote:

Pedos reading storytime to kids and letting men in women's restrooms is worse, obviously. This is considered good practice, legal and supported openly by democrats. YOU support this because of your cult, blindly, because they told you to. Pastors being closer to kids so that they can be pedos is horrible, illegal, immoral. And none of us conservatives support it. We are pissed when it is found out. We are pissed when it is discovered that it was swept under the rug and the person has been transferred to another parish only to do it again. We want it to stop. We want them prosecuted. That's the difference.


I don’t support any of it and never said I did. There’s conservatives on this board in this thread saying pedophiles can only be liberal so I shared something to the contrary and yall lost your minds. Small minds, small dicks, big feelings.
