LOL, or we could live off one salary and put most of the other in savings so we can retire much earlier and enjoy life with our kids and grandkids.

Too bad you can't pay the bills, have a well padded savings, Roth IRA, managed money account, kids trust, equity in 2 homes, zero non mortgage debt, and plenty of disposable left over off 1 income.

Man, these threads take weird turns. I was talking about the benefits of adjusting the tax system to help motherhood and now it's all angry.

Developmental psychology will tell you that kids who are raised until school age by a parent in the home is likely to be better prepared for school, more well adjusted emotionally, etc. And if you live in a city where daycares are likely not monitored or evaluated as they should be, then it can be a crap shoot putting your kids in one.


Imagine if they didn't get pulled away at age 6 to 'conformity programming'.

School is the horrible. Learn how to be another brick in the wall while providing day-care for working parents.

We should be living in communities with an entirely different approach to passing on knowledge and equipping youth to surpass the previous generations. Our entire way of life is wrong. Everything is wrong. Not one thing we do is the way it should be.

How so?

I have no issue saying the school system in this country is in desperate need of reform. But I've also seen home schooling used by some as a means to avoid being held accountable for their child's education. So I'm genuinely curious as to what you suggest would be the better alternative in more detail.

I have no idea how people have an issue with the OP.

The home economy is real. Having someone to do things for kids, take care of things at home, be on top of meal cooking and shopping ect. That's huge.

There was obvious mistreatment of females in the 'to the moon' days of The Honeymooners. And obviously prior to that. Woman were made to think a lot of things. I get the push-back to being a home-maker.

But feminism at its core was started by the government to disrupt the family unit. They wanted more voters. They wanted kids in the hands of the State at younger ages and for longer hours. Other reasons as well.

The new age branding of equality between men and woman steals what is superior about both genders. It's a shame. A lot of people buy into it.

On a basic level I think everything about schooling is incorrect and rooted in nefarious agendas. But really what I was saying there has more to do with an entirely different way of life, a totally different paradigm -- our daily lives would be entirely different. We'd pass on knowledge and teach youth in ways that don't have any resemblance to what we see in schools today -- which is obviously not going to happen.

Here's a bit on how our schooling system came to be.

LINK

In the shadows of the Bismarck’s totalitarian Germany in 1875, a little-known medical researcher laid the groundwork for a subject that in modern times was to bring American education to its knees--behavioral psychology. A latter-day disciple, B. F. Skinner, later wrote the book "Beyond Freedom and Dignity," arguing that such ancient conceptions as these are luxuries our brave new world can no longer afford. Another ardent follower--John Dewey, the "Father of American education"--took the new radical German redefinition of education to mean the reprograming of young brains and nervous systems, and applied it to his self-appointed task of creating in America the ideal socialist state. John D. Rockefeller, for purposes of his own, bankrolled what was in effect a hostile take-over of our educational establishment. "The Leipzig Connection" is a startling account of how and why these things came about. It lays out in concise detail the story of the development of the educational malaise which we have unknowingly dropped our children into.
