pos 'pubs being complete pieces of crap

[michigancat]

a quick google search showed Kansas has no curriculum or diploma requirements, just instruction time requirements. But I'm guessing if the kids want to go to college they'd need a GED. Also I imagine justwin is an expert on the subject but he wasn't very polite about it.

In what way was I not polite? My point was primarily that if you know the homeschooling laws in your state, there is a very good chance that you don't know the laws in other states.

You are also required to assess in Kansas. This does not mean taking standardized tests, only that the students are being assessed on what they are supposed to be learning.

What do you assess if there are no curriculum requirements or guidelines or standardized tests? Who reviews the assessments?

Here's an idiot maga who 100% believes in patient parental choice in education. This stupid rough rider has nine kids, NINE and doesn't know what STEAM in the classroom is! I couldn't stand this jackass when she was on the real world.

Yes, this is my question. Having assessments but no academic standards makes no sense.

And for whatever it's worth, I didn't think justwin was being impolite, but I'm probably not the best judge of that since I'm constantly unintentionally coming across as an bad person online.

Maybe assessment wasn't the best choice of word. You just need to test your students periodically when homeschooling. I've always just taken this to mean giving them an exam. The requirements for homeschooling in Kansas are listed here:

In terms of oversight, there is basically none in my experience. We've been homeschooling for nine years and have never dealt with anyone from the state. If we were doing something crazy or not teaching our kids anything, maybe someone would report it and we would get a visit.

Does Kansas have truancy laws? Because if so I think I just found ONE SIMPLE TRICK THAT SCHOOLS HATE.

YOU WANT THE GOVERNMENT TELLING YOU WHEN YOUR KIDS SHOULD BE IN SCHOOL OR HOW OFTEN!

Most of the home school kids I’ve encountered are very smart but socially very under developed.  You can mitigate that somewhat by being involved in club sports and other organized activities but it’s an uphill climb.

Gotta hand it to Trump for just saying why Republicans leaders are obsessed with being anti-trans. Republican voters love it!

He really loathes his supporters. Tells them straight to their fat faces how dumb he thinks they are.

[catastrophe]

I think that’s 100% accurate. He seriously does not understand why he doesn’t have more competent followers.

Nope, just the wokeness of Disney employees.

Well, it's not like they are going to take a W without pointing out that they are some sort of victim first.
