RE: Looking For Children On Whom To Experiment.
Sorry, this is Off topic. I saw your reply, but I don't want to continue dialogue on that person's page :) I'm not a fan of the flag, I've used it twice since I've been here. In this instance and a similar one, both times because the person attacked a friend, launching false allegations. For blatant trolling I do believe it's necessary to have it. I understand what you're saying though, that it was started due to a flag initially. However the response of this person leads me to believe it was a matter of time, they seem to be unbalanced. Again, I appreciate where you're coming from.
As for this post, I completely agree with you. I took my children out of public schooling based partly on the core curriculum. Also because they were attempting to classify my son with adhd and recommending medication, which was absolutely ridiculous. He was five years old, with a five year old boy's normal energy level. Taking them out of that indoctrination station was the best decision I ever made! :)
You are welcome to comment on any topic you like on any of my posts. I like to talk about any subject anywhere, with reasonable people. I agree it was getting a little too heated there. I do think the flag has uses. I only think that it's uses are too broad to have only one button. I think it could easily be split into plagiarism, spam, abuse, redistribution, and opinion. This might not make any inroads to stopping flag wars, but it would at least clear up confusion as to why they get started. Clarification is a start on the road to deescalation. I do not find that spewing vitriol is useful for much of anything, and I'm sorry you found yourself in the middle of that.
I think they are few better decisions than for a parent to remove their children from public schooling, and I congratulate you for choosing that path. Your family should be happier and healthier for it.
Thank you for your comments.
