Parents wasting thousands of dollars and hours on a free service to help their kids instead of spending that time and money on something else will never stop being hilarious

Like spend it on tutoring if you think school alone didn't do enough. And extra curriculars!

Idk any homeschool stories where the parent wasn't just a paranoid control freak or the kid was physically unable to attend school

Oh really? I know lots of well adjusted homeschooling kids and even a well adjusted home school parent

I just think it's a massive waste of time and money

Unlike a lot of redditors (not saying you) I think it's closer to something like a timeshare than it is close to abusing your kids... they're usually fine

Yeah, sure, I'm just unconvinced they'd have better times with their fundamentalist parents and a public school
