In order for parents to choose homeschooling, some (but not all) must be present in the parents:

- a conviction that the herd choice of sending a child to school is wrong, and not just a little bit
- the belief that you know education better than expert educators with many years of hard earned experience
- relatedly, the belief that you are fully qualified to teach anything of importance, and that anything you can't teach is not of important
- the ability to forgo the opportunity cost of an in-home full time tutor

Add these up and you will skew towards parents who either have extremely strong convictions (faith related or otherwise) and a mentality that presupposes that the parent is "right."

In the best case scenario, this is an extremely well educated/informed parent who knows enough to keep their pride at check and can handle their emotions well in the face of at times extremely frustrating circumstances, all well being under more financial strain than they would be if they weren't showing up every day to school. These people definitely exist, and I think most parents strive to be this for their children regardless of how they educate their child.

But the "average" human is not well informed, often makes rash and/or emotional decisions, and is struggling to make ends meet. Thus, the "average" parent that chooses homeschooling skews towards dogmatic thinking and/or a presumption of "I'm right and you're wrong" that over a period of a childhood easily leads to abuse, especially if the parents are struggling to make ends meet.

I guess there is a counter argument that people who choose to homeschool can "afford" to do so and thus are well resourced enough (financially or socially) to have a good shot of success, but even among the top 10% of earners you will be hard pressed to find parents that believe they can afford homeschooling.

> Anyone remember when they were in school and adults tried to ban access to a popular website?

Uhhh there are many websites that are banned in the USA. Otherwise working URLs that wont work in the USA. Mostly hostile state actor stuff.Iran, NK, etc. The fact that you don't know about it just says how effective it is.

Sure, VPN. But (serious question, not rhetorical) is that going to get the app on your phone? And are you going to go to the trouble when the algorithm thinks you're eastern european? When the user base is smalelr?
> American platforms are already banned in China.

So if Americans are discriminated in China, would you suggest to do the same with the Chinese in US?
I see, you're talking about a fully client-rendered SPA. I guess you can always count on your users running modern PCs, with fast internet and no SEO needs. Things aren't that nice in the outside world lol.
> If the Supreme Court allows the government to shut down an entire platform on such a flimsy evidentiary record, it would set a disturbing precedent for future government restrictions on online speech.

Something something PATRIOT Act.
The authors Ashley Gorski and Patrick Toomey seem to think that the rule of law and advocating for consistent ruling on constitutionality will have an effect.

If I’ve learned anything about how the Supreme Court works, it’s that this is a political calculation, not a legal one. The outcomes are decided first, and then jurisprudence is employed to substantiate them — not the other way around.
The current URL works for me.
> I think you are proposing a much more extreme conspiracy

I am not proposing a conspiracy, I am merely noting some irony in the fact that the US are doing protectionism here.

> No doubt historically the US has gotten companies to put in backdoors or other mechanisms

Well, most of the Western Internet goes through the US, and we know for a fact that the US try to extract as much as they can from whatever they can (remember Snowden?). Also the US are very fine with US companies owning all the data of a big part of the world, and they would be really pissed if some country started banning them "for national security reasons".

> but when you have drones being used to survey the electric grid or other major pieces of infrastructure

You don't need to connect the drone to the Internet. Technical solutions would most definitely exist, I am convinced of that. The reason DJI is being banned is because DJI is 7 years ahead of anyone else, and the gap is getting bigger every year. It really, really sounds like the US drone companies have been lobbying a ton because they just can't compete.
> a rough CPI measure of inflation would indicate that the US dollar was worth twice as much in 1900 as at 1800, a total inflation of -50%

Nitpick: you're comparing two currencies that happen to both have been called the dollar.

A dollar in 1800 referred to "371+4⁄16 grain (24.1 g) pure or 416 grain (27.0 g) standard silver" [1]. (To drive home how confusing commodity money is, $2.50, $5 and $10 were defined in gold; cents and half cents in copper.) Because "silver prices rose relative to gold as a reaction to the California Gold Rush" [2], in 1873, the silver dollar was redefined at "371.25 grains" and the gold dollar at "23.22 grains" [3].

None of this, of course, has anything to do with the fiat greenbacks we printed during the Civil War [4] and the ensuing nonsense we had to deal with getting that to play with our metal standards [5], all of which culminated in the Gold Standard Act of 1900 defining a dollar at "25.8 grains of 90% pure gold" [6]. (94% the amount of pure gold per dollar as was in a 1792 Half Eagle per dollar. But again, we're comparing pre- and post-Gold Rush gold. And early industrial versus well industrialised economies.)

Well, most benefit by an enormous margin goes to real estate owners, since the money gets created with home purchase loans. The stock market is peanuts in comparison.
Who is talking about "deserved" or anything like that? Parents want their kids to excel, if they think they can provide that themselves better than what the school is offering then they make the best choice available to them.

> When I eventually encountered people who were afforded just such a deal ("elite" private school in a wealthy area), they were far less impressive than the top college-level facilities they enjoyed as grade schoolers

This is exactly the argument in favor of home schooling. If you just throw money at it but pay little attention to it then you get a beautiful campus with expensive landscaping and not necessarily the highest quality education, because it's easier for parents to judge the quality of the facilities than the quality of the instruction. Whereas if you actually care and you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
I'm all for it, but one thing I'm sensing is this: unlike most other kinds of software, with games the fun & gameplay are the chief and overriding factors for their audience, maybe artsy factors like visuals immersiveness etc, intangibles like replay value, all kinds of subjective factors next. Price or license politics? Way down the list, does not move the needle here for the end users, I feel.

Also of interest, hosting game assets is a whole other price category than just source code. =)

Last quarter I made a 20GB (when packaged) open-world 3rd-person game in Unreal, but the whole project folder itself was 160GB. That's basically "the source". All kinds of assets were dumped in there for experimentation & exploration & try-outs, and untangling that to strip down the project to only-what's-used-in-the-Level-file is not just not a one-click action as it should be, UE's weird reference tracking very quickly opines that everything depends on everything and nothing can be "just deleted". Would you host that whopper? I can imagine even Github wouldn't. (Haven't checked tbh — probably should have =) Because I wouldn't untangle that just to post "the source". Nobody even cares about the free downloadable ZIP (executable + content) for Linux and Windows that I made (mostly as a fun b-day gift to my bro, not per se for any other audience or any kind of adoption) and put on itch.io, who'd even care for "the source". Plus in this space it's never (at the indie level) Rocket Science, so whoever is in the coding game keeps it all home-grown self-engineered and tailored to size, and whoever isn't will forever try & fail to "plug-and-play with 3rd-party snippets".

Also of interest, many solo gamedevs or non-team creators without an artist at hand keep a vault of dear-to-their-heart pro-calibre high-quality game art assets that they may well have once received for free or very little money in the ever-coming-and-going gamedev-specific Humble Bundles, Epic / Unity / etc. store sales or freebie specials. They have thusly acquired a valid license for using them in their packaged games, but not to publish those assets' sources (if even included) with their work. Now some may stick religiously to Creative Commons / FOSS-licensed assets, but if Their Work is their chief & foremost priority rather than sporting-and-supporting "only certain types of licenses" out of some conviction — their works won't partake in your network.

This is not to rain on your parade or discourage your enthusiasm, just some things that come to mind, "to be accommodated" / considered in your pursuits. =)

Feel (some) of your pain - was bullied some in school, and actually had terrible compressed nerve problems that made sitting in high school all day terrible. But think what this person is saying is that this probably isn't the experience of most students. And in all humbleness, would have to agree, don't think me and my friends wouldn't say it's was an extremely abuse experience.

Not saying it doesn't need to be fixed, but that like most systems handling large volumes, for better or worse, it caters to the majority:(
> If DJI was from the EU there would not even be a discussion.

If DJI was from the EU, the US would manage to buy it.
In the US government's view, as expressed in its brief in the Supreme Court:

"Because of the authoritarian structures and laws of the PRC regime, Chinese companies lack meaningful independence from the PRC’s agenda and objectives. As a result, even putatively ‘private’ companies based in China do not operate with independence from the government. Indeed, “the PRC maintains a powerful Chinese Communist Party committee ‘embedded in ByteDance’ through which it can ‘exert its will on the company.’ ... the committee includes “at least 138 employees,” including ByteDance’s “chief editor”

...

"Even assuming that the law would recognize Zhang as a bona fide domiciliary of Singapore and not the PRC, ByteDance would nevertheless qualify as being “controlled by a foreign adversary” under one or more of the other statutory criteria. For instance, ByteDance is “headquartered in” China, which is sufficient on its own.... ByteDance also is “subject to the direction
or control of ” Chinese persons domiciled in China (in particular, Chinese Communist Party officials), which likewise is sufficient on its own."

I have to assume that either there is some ulterior motive at play, or the national security risks themselves cannot be exposed for national security reasons and that this is incompatible with the current justice system unless something like a secret FISA court is involved.

I'm really surprised more people don't know about the Powell memo, considering it literally describes the headlines we're seeing in the news now, attacks against higher education as 'liberal indoctrination' are all over the place, see what Chris Rufo is doing, and the reaction to the protests against the war in Gaza. Or look at book bans, or whatever.

The 2010 Citizens United decision cited a case with precedence that Powell wrote the majority opinion on (First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti).

This is nonsensical advice. In San Francisco, the school board wants to delay learning algebra to 9th grade. I can't "improve" this place because it's not that the place just needs advice. It's because they have "experts" with "years of experience" that want to do different things. And I'm just a techie who thinks he knows everything.

So you would say for sure that the NSA has definitely never been used to give advantages to US companies? I could totally imagine Boeing receiving information in order to win a contract against Airbus.

From the first (most top-voted) post in this thread from the person who put this together, states:

I got that at first, but it worked on the second click.
As usual, it depends. My time in public schools (K through 7th grade in various places in the southeast US) was a mixed bag. Newport News, VA with all the kids of engineers and naval officers? Awesome. I loved school. Most other places? Meh. Rural western Virginia? Terrible. Bullied until I finally snapped and left someone half conscious on the playground (and the football coaches watched as I handed out that beating). I was homeschooled from 8th grade until I left for college at the suggestion of the teachers in the school because they were running out of classes at the high school for me when I was in 7th grade.

I was fortunate to have parents that are extremely well educated and my homeschooling gave me an education that is simply unavailable in a school. Not many kids have sat on the back deck in the Appalachians with their father, learning how to read Virgil in Latin.

There were lots of other homeschoolers in our county who were all religious nuts. Fortunately Virginia requires you to come in and take standardized tests every couple years to see if you're at grade level if you're homeschooling, so the worst cases got corrected. The school district also proctored my AP tests for me, even though they weren't classes the school offered.

My kids are in public school. The public schools where I live are excellent and actually deal with bullying. My kids would rather not go to school, but they're not being traumatized and they're getting a good education and have lots of friends. There's a major emphasis on social-emotional learning, which turns out to be heavily correlated with later performance. Our biggest problem is in high school with parents pressure cooking their kids to try to go to places like Harvard or Yale. I do what I can to counsel the kids and get them off that path. My own kids are firmly convinced that they're going to guaranteed admission state schools, and don't have to try to build a ridiculous resume in high school.

Schools don't have to be horrible. They just have a history of being poorly run in many places.
In a strange way, if it was a blanket China ban, it would almost feel less arbitrary than this, which was crafted to target ByteDance.

The fact they packaged it inside a funding bill that would have been politically unpopular for Congress to oppose also makes me speculate that they felt it wasn't strong enough to stand up to scrutiny on its own merits
Ish? Even the common usage of "middle" doesn't necessarily describe where the average student is with regards to any skill they are learning in school. You can argue that we are using a common usage of "average" here, akin to how many fingers does the average human have. But, in a discussion on education, I confess leaning to pedantry seems rather apropos?

My gripe here is the parent post is an appeal to how "average" students are quite bad. But, there is no substantiation to that point. It is, instead, taken as a given in what is essentially a culture war talking point.

It would help if I wasn't exposed to so many parents that are convinced their kids are somehow gifted among gifted kids.

Well, some of their chief competitors (i.e. Ariane 5) don't even do a controlled re-entry of their upper stages, so they don't issue warnings at all. They reenter anywhere on the planet at an unannounced random time and place. In a sense SpaceX is a victim of its own success here.

Falcon 9 destroys its upper stages in a controlled manner, in a deliberately chosen re-entry zone (sparsely populated ocean). Ariane 5's cryogenic upper stage can't do this: it's a liquid-hydrogen engine without a relight ability—after it turns off once, you can't reignite it a second time (for a re-entry targeting burn).
I thought all parents knew this nowadays. I got my children kick bikes at the age of two and so did many other parents I know. My older started riding a regular bike at the age of three and was able to do so for short distances with only a handful of attempts after learning the kick bike first.
Yeah, careful around this internetz thing - someone scammed somebody over there, I've heard.
Balancing is hard and requires practice, steering under the bike as it continually falls to one side or another. Pedaling can be taught in an hour, once the kid understandings you go around (vs pump back and forth).

Run bike for the win.

Also decent kids bikes are expensive, but you can run multiple kids through them and sell for close to what you paid. Don't bother with junk department store bikes.

Given that most math teachers haven't studied algebra/likely haven't seen the definition of any of these things, and the distinction is not relevant when discussing rounding, I highly doubt that the teacher was making that distinction, or even aware it exists. More likely, the teacher was making a distinction that does not exist, which only confuses students.

In any context that a child is working in, 6/2 and 3.0 are a whole numbers. If the teacher says otherwise, they are wrong. Just because the teacher wants to teach a lesson doesn't mean that lesson is actually correct. The teacher is just confused.

If they weren't confused, it would be highly inappropriate to go into that level of detail with anyone other than a curious gifted kid that's asking questions that are years ahead of a normal curriculum. So much so that it's beyond the level of knowledge expected of a schoolteacher.

You also wouldn't mark it wrong because the entire point is to define things in a way that makes the distinction go away. Even after that distinction has been presented and is front-of-mind, you still generally write down whatever representative is convenient.

It's either literally wrong, philosophically/pedagogically wrong, or both.

Amusingly I had the exact inverse of this experience. My senior year I signed up for the AP Bio course, but we only got 22 students signed up out of the 25 required to allow the class to happen (a very stupid system in of itself). Because the class was canceled, and the very competent well educated biology teacher had a slot free in his schedule, he was forced into teaching the gym class (which I also had to take since I'd been avoiding PE for the last few years). He knew the situation, and after the first week handed me the advanced bio textbook after class one day, and then turned a blind eye to me sitting on the bleachers reading instead of running laps for the rest of the semester (dont come at me for physical fitness, I was a skateboarder and in better shape than 90% of the kids already).
