Turns out, homeschooling, whether you’re for it, against it, or don’t care, is a hot-button issue that MUST be debated in the comments of a joke Twitter thread.

I’ve got my own personal thoughts on homeschooling, and how, like the world itself, it’s a lot different in the year 2023 than it was when we were kids, but I’ll save that for another post when I’m looking to have someone misinterpret my intentions and threaten my life over a blog post Pleated-Jeans, but for now, I’ll just point you to this debate, and ask your thoughts. There’s got to be a reasonable take on this out there, right?
