Here's the full article

it also helps my kids prepare for the world they're entering

I homeschool all five of my kids

All of the kids have AI on their phones and tablets, and it acts as their tutor.

Because of course limiting contact with the outside world and basing almost their entire education on fucking ChatGPT won't hurt them at all in the long term.

in Germany this would be grounds enough to call the youth welfare department and remove him as a father. Holy fuck. I feel so sorry for all the homeschooled kids in the US. This is not okay, he is throwing away 5 lifes.

I was homeschooled. It’s a horrible practice for so many reasons. Luckily my parents enrolled me in college (dual enrollment) early and I was able to get a halfway decent education

There ARE some parents who actually do homeschooling right. But it does seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

Thank you for saying this.

The US education system is cooked. It's not hard to do better.

Homeschooling gets a bad wrap because it is very poorly regulated and leads to some of the dumbest, least well adjusted adults you can possibly create.

But it can also lead to a much better, proper education if the parents are intelligent and truly care about the kids education.

Yes, I know at least one family that homeschools and does a good job. My sister-in-law does it as well, but it's the wrong way, unfortunately.

Sounds like absentee dad with extra steps.
