A recent news headline.
The system is failing those students in such complete ways that I can't see any way in which homeschooling could be worse than that. Those kids could probably learn better math by sleeping with a textbook under their pillow and relying on osmosis.
A kid could probably get better education just by being bored and left in a room with books and select access to educational YouTube videos than what parts of the educational system offer.
Btw there was a epic tweek lately along the lines of: I pay my son 10$ for every book he reads. It's my best deal ever and he thinks he is ripping me off.
