Would you homeschool your children?

Or I'm just not offended easily. It's my opinion and I'm allowed to give it. I don't see why that has offended you

How would they lie in if everyone else was getting up and making a racket? My approach would be to explain to them why it's a bad idea and wait for them to come around

When I was a child, if I wanted to do something, there was no way you could stop me. Trying to be authoritarian would make me rebel. By taking away the rules, you take away anything for them to rebel against!

It should be everywhere. Kids books should feature gay characters. Shows should have disabled people. Kids should be exposed to all sorts of people on a daily basis. We should have a weekly lesson on tolerance and understanding

It's not useful if you're not interested in it. And I think 14 is fine, but with less restriction

I look down on people who are nasty

So if you're surrounded by a load of *****, it's superior to call it out?

Hasn't really offended me, although I may or may not be what you consider generic. Doesn't mean I am not going to call you out on insulting large swathes of people, which you are.

I have managed to lie in with everybody up and about. And who says they come around? Why would a child with no concept of the long term value of education put school ahead of the short term fun of videogames? Or what if by the time they come around they have missed enough education to put them at a disadvantage

Destructive behaviour doesn't become less destructive just because there are no rules against it. My parents forced me to do a lot of things I didn't enjoy when I was a kid, most of which I am grateful for in hindsight. If they had followed your attitude they would have let my short sighted laziness win, and I wouldn't be where I am now. And I like where I am now.

so it isn't useful for people to have, say, basic knowledge of major world events such as ww2 just because they don't find history interesting?

No, you look down on "drones". Has everybody who watches Big Brother been nasty to you?

It is superior to think it is **** in the first place, just because it is not your thing.

I'm just saying it as I see it

If they do it for a long time, then they aren't ready to learn. Children learn when they are ready

Mine didn't, they kind of let me get on with it. My dad and I used to clash a lot though, and everytime he tried to stop me doing something, I wanted to do it more. When he backed off, I was a lot less rebellious.

Not really I mean, it's interesting (to me because I like history) but I despise maths, and past the basic adding/subtracting, there's no need for me to know it

No. And there are some people who are okay. But surely you know what I'm on about?

It's not because it's not my thing. Playing drums is not my thing but I think it's pretty cool.
