My problem has been your approach. Straight up.
I never said you were wrong about homeschooling. I said you didn’t provide evidence outside of anecdotes. I was wrong about that. And I said I don’t have a problem with homeschooling. In fact, I acknowledged that I’m sure your experience was good, but was trying to imply that’s not the case for everyone, just as you were saying.
I said your vocabulary was indicative of a place of superiority and then the responses were rather condescending. I have a feeling that has to do with you being so defensive about your experience with homeschooling. And it seems to me you might have wanted to emphasize that you’re not a stupid, brainwashed religious product of the homeschooling system. In turn, your initial response was rather excessive in what seemed like an attempt to prove your point. I’m not a psychologist and I don’t know you, but that’s how it is from my perspective. But, I admitted that I’m also not having a productive conversation on the topic at hand.
However, I wasn’t trying to talk about the substance of your argument. I was pointing out that it’s flawed due to the aforementioned responses. And nothing was controversial, just needed evidence to back it up.

Bro, put the thesaurus down. I have a Master’s Degree in English and a Master of Fine Arts Degree in creative writing and even I can’t take the excessive vocabulary shoehorned into your reply. Not to mention your sentence structure, punctuation, and feigned formalities. (Hence the “trying to sound smart” comment.)
And before you respond so aggressively like you have with other comments, I’m not doubting your education and how you believe homeschooling has its advantages. However, you’ve refused to provide evidence backing up your claims beyond anecdotes. I don’t care about the child abuse comment, because your insistence you don’t have to supply a source because they didn’t doesn’t help you make your case.
Also, chill the fuck out, dude. You’re all worked up over an internet conversation.
"They told us to escape and then they bomb people on the road. My father drove back to Gaza City. He said if we are dying anyway, let's be at home in Gaza," she said.
Damn. This is really heartbreaking.
Don’t you know that the American rail system is the best in the world. Because America. Not to mention the union strikes and other actions taken against workers.
Clearly politicians continue to know more than climate scientists. I mean, numbers going up is a good thing, right?
We are so fucked.
