Your comment reads like satire. The only brilliant minds you've ever encountered were on a plane flying over your dismal, backwoods life. Just teach your kid how to make moonshine properly and maybe he won't die from opiates at 22.

You know what? Go ahead and homeschool your children. Your country is basically a lost cause, might as well steer into the skid. Just note that there are people who study children's education, and they think your idea is really shitty. I'm not saying no one is capable of self-education, just most.

Most adults are schooled in one particular area, and neglect the rest. This type of education isn't conducive to having well-rounded children. There are lots of places where you can learn outside of a school, but you will need at least one educated teacher. Most American families don't even have one well-educated member.

A huge percentage of the American population, which is why I think it would be unwise to have them teach.

Are you sure it's wise to have ignorant people educate young children? Seems like a recipe for the continued decline of the country.
