These issues are prevalent enough with the current mandatory curriculum students go through. Removing mandatory schooling would only result in this problem being amplified. If anything, we should be improving the existing school curricula (such as focusing on critical thinking and practical implementations of knowledge gained rather than teaching for standardized tests), increasing funding for schools across the board, and standards and pay for teachers. By making school no longer mandatory, there would be no minimum educational standards for kids (or for the contents of homeschooling), which could easily make things worse in regards to anti-intellectualism

This debate completely sidestepped the issue of abusive parents. Removing mandates for education will help them keep their kids out of school for nefarious purposes: indoctrination into extreme ideologies, forced labor, sexual exploitation, etc. Removing school mandates just makes it that much easier for kids to be isolated from knowledge and resources, which will lead to more abuse.

YES! This was literally my first thought before the debate even started. School is not just for education, it's also practice for interacting with people, it's for building social safety nets. Abuse is most common within the family, so having a third-party seeing your kid nearly every day makes it easier for abuse to be found out, reported, punished, and stopped.
@randyohm34452 жыл бұрын
Exactly. Allowing parents to keep their kids home from school would make them so vulnerable, the harm would be much greater than the harm of making neurodivergent kids attend now. The way to help those kids is to improve school, not to give them the option to just give up on it altogether. Just think about how many abuse cases are caught because the school counselor became suspicious.

I know Demon Mama had a troubled upbringing but her way of discussing whether or not you can make a kid go to school reeks of privilege. Like just imagine an average two parent household where both of them work and a kid up and says "daddy I don't want to go to school." And the father has work in an hour and he will lose his job if he's late. He has to make the kid go to school or they lose half their income, or the kid stays home alone. The option to sit at home with your kid who doesn't want to go to school and figure out what works best for them is simply not available for the majority of people because school is also childcare for tons of American families. I know her morals probably play out in a society where people have alternative access to childcare and aren't so economically precarious but I just wonder if she realizes how unachievable that shit is for most working parents.
@broguy97072 жыл бұрын
Not to mention a major factor, if you need more income in your family and schools aren't mandatory, logically the best option is to have your kid work. Late stage high schoolers sometimes drop out for this very reason, now imagine school is lifted and kids realize labor allows them to buy new fortnite skins while also allowing dad to pay the electric bill. There are labor laws to protect that ofc, but labor laws were put in place (as were mandated public schooling) as a way to elevate people. Once it starts slipping I can't see a justifiable reason why children (and the voting public thirsty for additional income, especially funded by big business thirsty for cheap labor) would actively choose schooling unless they're in a very specific family or are rational enough to know the value of education (not a guarantee by a long shot).

making schools mandatory has a dual effect of not only requiring every child to receive an education but also requiring the STATE to provide an education for every child. If education were no longer mandatory for children, the state would drop that shit SO fast. In most states, public schools are already so underfunded that the quality of education is dependent solely on income tax and other factors of socioeconomic class - already putting those who need education most (the working class) at a disadvantage, continuing the cycle of economic oppression. The state WANTS to defund education, it's been doing so slowly for decades. If school wasn't mandatory, the little money regulated to schools in poorer neighborhoods (who are most often poc communities bc institutional racism, red lining, and income taxes) would most definitely be sent to the police budget. This has ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING, as in my own city millions of dollars were funneled out of the public library budget and almost that exact same amount was added to the police department budget. also if we don't mandate school then how would children in abusive family situations know that what they are experiencing is abuse? If their parents take them out of school, they would have very little to no support network outside of the home/family, and even if they knew that they were being abused (which, most people don't until they are educated on what abuse is/how to spot signs of abuse. as DM said kids are very trusting) they wouldn't have as many people to reach out to for help. I get DM's concerns as someone who is also neuro-atypical but we still deserve a good education, and the state is required to give us one as a basic human right.

Sure, there are some *niche* scenarios where transportation could be an issue, but it's nothing that simply providing more public transportation and better urban planning doesn't solve. It's an issue of US infrastructure being shit at that point. As for the issue of kids being taken away, as Vaush points out in the video, this almost never happens, because unless the home environment is so poor that it's literally abusive and you'd take the child away anyhow, parents are typically going to make their kids go to school. Even the most neglectful parents are going to force them because they don't want to deal with them at home, and it acts a babysitting. Furthermore, these kinds of points (which happen entirely too often and make discourse fall apart as evidenced by this debate), is that we're arguing on the presumption that we are renovating the whole system, not just making vacuum changes to the system. Obviously, in a 'leftist vs leftist' debate on the issue, we can assume the scenario is one in which we are properly funding public utilities and idealizing school programs.

Even as someone who nearly went to court multiple times for truancy I think mandatory schooling is extremely important. Without mandatory schooling there will be neglectful parents who will ruin their children’s lives by never teaching them anything. I knew so many people whose parents didn’t give a single shit about them and even at a young age had to be independent to get up and go school and feed themselves. There is a lot of issues with truancy and truancy court, but we can improve that and offer more safe guards for kids with disabilities, mental health issues, people on the spectrum, and any other reason why schooling may be hard for someone. I also think that if we changed how highschool is it would improve people’s desires to attend. Let people have more agency in what they want to learn in academics after they have the fundamentals.

@poltergeist77762 жыл бұрын
Ooff DM's argument is reaaallly leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I feel like she is not at all acknowledging the potential abuse that might result from making school attendance optional, since this also gives parents the power to keep their child at home, even against their will. For example, a physically abusive parent might not want their child attending school for fear that they might tell someone, that a teacher might notice bruises or that the child might understand from their interaction with other kids that their home situation is neither normal nor acceptable. In this case, the child would not only be victim to the physical abuse of their parents, but will also be denied basic education and the safe space of a school where their abuser does not have control over them. Similarly, mandatory schooling has always been closely connected to child labour laws. Parents might keep their child at home so that they can help around their workplace (for example as a waiter if the parents have a restaurant or something) or help around their family (for example babysit their infant sibling). Again, this just gives parents the power to **coercively** keep their child uneducated. And even if the parents are not actively coercing their children to stay at home, such situations can still psychologically pressure children to do so. I imagine a lot of children would rather help out their struggling parents than go to school, even if we have a utopian school system where everything is super fun. However, in the long-term these children would be severely disadvantaged because of their lacking education. I feel like a lot of these concerns are really callously disregarded, and I'm honestly kind of wondering why nobody really brought them up. And just DM's entire line of argumentation seems, honestly, irresponsible and divorced from the real world.

I definitely agree with mandatory schools, we should just make school a lot better and more customizable for students so they can make the most out of the time they need to attend. Like if they really know they’re going into the trades, let’s let them take classes in the trades, my highschool was really good about this and offered programs for future teachers, doctors, tradespeople, a few different things like that, so they could be partly certified by the time they left highschool. Or offer a lot of different electives, another reason I loved my high school because it was well funded enough to have classes like stage production, cooking classes, sewing, architecture, coding, engineering, and that allowed my high school experience to be great because I actually was motivated in those classes compared to the classes in math that I had to take that I don’t like (I get why I had to take them but I still just didn’t like math). Just make the core subject classes better, offer options to take college classes or get certifications in careers students are interested in, and offer many options for electives and extracurricular activities, that’s what we should be working towards in education.

Dear lord, both of these people are completely missing the forest for the trees. I'm sure at least SOME people know why we have mandated schooling for children. And it's funny that Vaush brought up the Era where people were leaving farm jobs to go work in factories, because that is the time period where we began to do this. The point of mandatory schooling was not because of the kids making any choices, they are unformed people, they never make these decisions when they are below a certain age anyways, it's always their parents that make decisions about their schooling. And back during that time period most people who were poor were having kids to help work farms and in factories before we had child labor laws. Wealthy people were able to send their kids to school and have them leverage their education for better employment opportunities. The point of mandatory schooling was to stop people from making it so that their kids go and work instead of going to school to have an education. The whole point of having a free public education is actually to strengthen our democracy (since educated people who can actually read, are obviously better at our form of republican "self-governance" where you need to know what laws your reps are signing). If the rich kids were the only ones who could read, then the poor kids would be crippled as citizens and they are just too young to make that decision for themselve. It also just isn't fair to them to leave the decision up to their parents if they struggle financially, because in that case, what is best for the child doesn't always come before what is best for the family as a whole.

What I think is being mostly overlooked here is that the cause of a child not going to school isn't necessarily the will of the child, but the will of the parents. Teens are more difficult, but especially like grade school age kids are usually quite happy to go to school and even take a large degree of responsibility for their own education. And even with teens, they've generally had their relationship with education thoroughly poisoned, but in systems that grant them more freedom, eg Montessori/Waldorf schools there are virtually no problems with kids across ages refusing to learn. The people most likely to abuse a system that allows them not to educate their children is parents who are abusive, in cults, conspiracy theorists, that kind of thing. If children are unable to go to school for a number of reasons, I'm fully in favor of offering online school programs and even homeschooling on the condition that there are regular tests to ensure they're learning things on an appropriate level for their age/grade.

She’s conflating the absorption ability of growing brains with a conscious desire to learn. Gamification is so useful in schools because it basically TRICKS kids into learning. And it’s not the be all end all of techniques-the competition it invites can be detrimental to some students. More often than not those kids she’s talking about are the ones who gamification doesn’t work for. SOME kids like to learn. SOME kids don’t physiologically have capacity to determine whether or not learning will be useful to them in the future and don’t want to do it no matter what. And that’s not an insignificant number. This conversation would blow Ed professionals away with its stupidity. Getting the state to institute compulsory education was a big win that took decades of fighting for. It not only holds parents accountable, it holds a the state accountable to provide that education. If enough students no longer go to school, our public school system would lose all funding and collapse. It’s already on the brink of this because of charter schools. Then without public schools, all that would remain would be private schools. We’d go back to square one. Only the wealthy would be able to afford an education.

Does Demon Mama have any experience with children? Because having worked with kids in the past, and having been a challenging kid myself, I feel like their ideas about how easy it would be to rationally reason a very young child who doesn't feel like going to school into going are pretty naïve. Also, the idea that if you have a kid who doesn't want to go to school for whatever reason, the answer is just to get them an in-home tutor is also not a great take. I am neurodiverse. I was bright and a "good student", but going to school was often unpleasant for me, and I would stay home as often as I could get away with it. Still, raising me in a bubble where I never ever had to do anything that made me uncomfortable would have ultimately harmed me more than sending me to school did. Even in a world where money were no object and my parents could have afforded private tutoring for me (which they absolutely could not have done, also neither of my parents were in a position to homeschool me as both worked full time), if I had been *that* heavily sheltered, I would have grown up with incredibly stunted emotional and social skills because I'd never been placed in an environment where I had to learn social skills, emotional self-regulation, and basic coping skills.

Omg his chat has some the most incorrect, dogshit takes on the internet, next to Demon Mamma. I literally seen someone in chat say your personality is developed by the time you're 9 MONTHS old. That is extremely fucking wrong. When you're 5, is when your personality is pretty much developed, but your whole personality & memories is solidified by time you're 10.

The main issue I have with this convo is that it’s clear that neither DM or the other guy know anything about the education system, let alone why kids wouldn’t go to school. As someone who works in education, the main reason why kids don’t go to school is because the parents are okay with it, especially at the younger ages. Kids not liking school will always happen, but if their parents don’t value education, then they won’t convince/coerce their kids to do just that. It’s the parents responsibility, and their convo keeps on devolving into some super freak who can run out of windows instead of “well, what if the parent says that you don’t need to go to school”. Parents who don’t value education may be due to either socioeconomic reasons (ex: they’d rather have their kid with them working at their store/restaurant instead of hiring someone) or political/religious reasons (ex: you think schools teach the devil stuff or the “globo-homo”/“whites are bad” agenda).

I think an issue with argument is that you're simultaneously making the argument that school is something that almost all kids would want to go to, but also that school is such a bad place people don't want to be there

Comming from a country with mandatory schooling and with close to zero% of the here born population being illiterate, we do have a lot of immigrats who are comming from countries were the parents could not go to school or not long enough and are super happy that their children can go to school for free, hearing arguments against mandatory school attendance is more then weird. Of course every system can be improved and I would be more then happy if we would adept the Nordic system due to all its proven positive effects on children, parents and society.

Even if school was Disneyland, kids still wouldn't wanna go every damn day. Oh, hold on, with the armwrestling part at about an hour and 25 minutes. It's not about needing to drink more milk. It's about body positioning. It takes hardly any pressure to snap your arm if you're in an unsafe position. There's a whole sport of actual real professional armwrestling that exists, and it's pretty awesome. I'd advise people to actually learn how to properly armwrestle, before doing it, lest you probably snap your arm at some point, since people naturally tend to twist their body away from their arm when they redline it, and that's when your arm easily snaps (among some other problematic positions, like not staying with your arm as it's being pinned. You're supposed to utilise your body, for safety and more power, etc.). Also if you know how to armwrestle, it's really fucked up to snap someone else's arm, due to them not knowing how to protect themselves. There's a responsibility that comes with it, which means you shouldn't start destroying everyone at a pub or whatever (even if it's fun to dunk on bigger generally stronger guys). Keep it to the armwrestling clubs.

Here's what I think I can add to all of this: School not only provides educational and social needs to a child, it also provides a structure to their day to day lives that is also essential for a healthy psyche. All people function better within routines. These don't necessarily have to be routines provided to us by the State but for children of impoverished or neglectful parents that might be the only structure in their day that they get. I also didn't hear any talk of how if school were made voluntary it would likely only be the children of the impoverished and neglectful that stop going to school entirely. Rich parents more often than not would either have the resources to provide a separate structure (ie actual homeschooling with tutors or they have the income for only a single parent to be working) or they have the stability and sense to understand what they will need their child to be to a mentally stable adult and thus force them into an educational and social environment. I would argue that voluntary schooling would widen the inequality gap even further, hurting only those who already need more help than usual.

I had shit attendance in secondary, I had attendance meetings every week because it got so low. My Mum tried her hardest and we'd fight over it every morning some times I win and sometimes she would win and get me in, sometimes I got to the school then left or skipped lessons. If it wasn't for the fines or the worry of the school taking my Mum to court I would of went even less then I already did. Life would be so much harder because then I wouldn't of had the qualifications that I got now (I was very lucky and passed all my exams despite my 25% attendance) if I hadn't of felt guilty about the school being on my Mum's back. School was shit. School system needs changed drastically but everyone need's an education
