West Virginia became the first state where primary and secondary education is now optional. Due to the budget cuts all public schools have been closed. The only option there is home schooling or taking religious classes at local churches.

>The only option there is home schooling or taking religious classes at local churches.
Those aren't really valid options, to be honest.

Really?

public schools are dependent on the funding from local taxes is why, we unironically need to change how school funds are collected and divvied up
>inb4 socialism

If found this in the comments:
>One reason the teachers are striking is the proposed jump in healthcare premiums from 20% copay to 40% for PEIA (Public Employees Insurance Agency). This was not addressed in the WP article. I mean, if you have health insurance through your employer, just think about if you had to suddenly pay 40% copay for yourself and your children, wouldn't you just lose it too? Then your boss offers you a 2% raise. And tells you to "get over it."

Wew.

What is freedom when you are not afforded ignorance? I hope the rest of the country follows West Virginia's lead.

lucky kids t b h

I didn't know anyone in WV even went to school past the 4th grade.

I have to say of all the scat in how America is run that is up there with the most retarded.
>Keep poor kids which probably have shit parents Africa tier schools because they live in shit areas
>Little to no propespects or knowledge on how to break out of poverty cycle due to only being surrounded by unsuccessful people
>Hmmmm why we have so much poverty, crime and drug problems

Rural white poverty in Appalachia has always been mostly neglected and all anti-poverty efforts concentrated on urban black poverty for reasons that I needn't get into because that would bring Sup Forums in here.

Fuck you, I like it that way. Didn't have to go to school with any poorfags or nogs, and neither will my kids.

>Rural white poverty in Appalachia has always been mostly neglected and all anti-poverty efforts concentrated on urban black poverty for reasons that I needn't get into because that would bring Sup Forums in here.

The reason is that poor blacks are actually voting accordingly while poor whites are electoral masochists.

One reason is that urban poverty is more visible whereas Appalachia is isolated from civilization and few people see the place.

The colossal amounts of mountain dew they drink.

>The reason is that poor blacks are actually voting accordingly while poor whites are electoral masochists.

yes

yes we do, it's created a bloated real estate market too. if you want to send your kids to a prep school, send them to a prep school. It's only really the lower middle class that suffers from this anyway

>poor whites vote Republican, which takes money away from healthcare, foodstamps, public projects, and unions
>poor blacks do the opposite which help them more

>Lithuania
>progress
Uh...

What Huffington Post comment section was this pasted from?

Of course Lithuania progresses, they're black.

Poor blacks are voting according to their class interest while poor whites don't. What's hard about this?

>privately owned business help poor folk
>like that new McDonalds next to the housing project! Equality!

Sup Forumssters find ANY reason to hate on black people. Just let it go kraut.

Home schoolers end up doing better than public schoolers. So maybe its all for the better.

I didnt go to school either. But i wish i did. I dont know sciences much

ALSO when people say "home schooled kids are socially awkward" they mean to say "home schooled kids never faced the psychological scars of bullying that one needs to slowly un-learn after you grow up". Home schooled kids are more "themselves

wtf is copay

It's because your public schools are so underfunded and shit. It's a self-made problem.

Why do we need mandatory education again? It is my choice and my childrens choice. At least they wont get shot. And all the arrogant "muh education" snobs should fuck off and let us be

We used to have that here in europe about ~140 years ago.

>It's because your public schools are so underfunded and shit
This is a troll, right? They spend vast sums on Taj Mahal schools that do nothing to improve students' academic abilities, most of that money instead lines the pockets of the teachers' union.

Meanwhile in Virginia: chathamstartribune.com/news/article_ee668270-1716-11e8-bde9-4b769498df2c.html

Yeah, kids should just work in 'clean coal' mines again and make a living for themselves.

One more reason to add them to the ethnostate

>michigan
>ethnostate
More proof that Sup Forums is irredeemable.

Yeah as opposed to home schools which are rolling in the dough. Oh wait homeschools get $0 from the govt. So why do they outperform public schools? Because ultimately, mommy gives a shit if her precious angel knows how to do math. Public school teachers just want a paycheck.

Here's what the fags don't say about the ethnostate method
We're going to cut off welfare and affirmative action
nonwhites will be forced to either gtfo or starve to death, every public building will have metal detectors and security and it will be illegal for nonwhites to own guns so they will be confiscated one by one

You dont know shit about europe. Copay does exist in one or another form in different eu cunts

tampabay.com/projects/2015/investigations/pinellas-failure-factories/

>cut off welfare and affirmative action
>poor blacks are stuck in major cities like Detroit even more
The cause is the solution to Sup Forumsfags

how are they going to survive?
their only way out is going to be a bus ticket and enough money to get by until they get a job, which we'll offer, nothing more, nothing less

> let me tell you about your country

...

Thats what my parents and grandparents did. My dad never had any education past middle school. My grampa never went to school. He took bible class at our church that is till functioning btw. And they were good well rounded happy people unlike Sup Forums degenerates. They hunted and grew their own food. And stock markets or housing bubble none of that shit never affected them.

It's almost like the people that choose to homeschool their kids are predisposed to do so due to above average wealth so they don't have to rely on the government while a big chunk of the people that have to send their kids to public schools wouldn't even be able to pay for the babysitter while they are at work. But this is your brain on a political mindset that aims to benefit a select few instead of making policies for the broad public.

this isn't electoral masochism. this is to do with the cultures surrounding the parties and political branding.

lets say i'm a god fearing son of a coal miner in west virginia. am i going to vote for the party who's supporting elites belittle me, deride my identity, mock my dialect and call me a hillbilly, redneck etc and stand at odds with my christian beliefs? or am i going to vote for the party that seemingly embraces me and my identity, maybe even sometimes idealises me, and promotes my christian beliefs. added to that, it's exactly these types of people that republicans give pie-in-the-sky promises to, such as trump's pledge to re-open the coal mines.

maybe their voting is misguided, but it's only electoral masochism if all you care about is economics, which clearly these people do not. in any case, it says more about the democrats failure to brand themselves as the party of working people rather than metropolitan elites.

>europe is a country

How do Australian schools work?

Oh shoot yeah so you'd need a 2 parent family (or some other family network) to be able to homeschool. Can't have that. Anything but that. Only rich people can afford multiple adults in a child's life. Better use public school as your personal daycare, regardless if public school is the right choice or not.

>they're mocking me for being stupid
>better be stupid and vote against my interests
>that really showed them I'm not stupid

>maybe their voting is misguided, but it's only electoral masochism if all you care about is economics, which clearly these people do not.

I am not really sure what this post is supposed to be about because nothing in it contradicts what I said. I explicitly said that they are electoral masochists in the sense that they are voting contrary to their class interest which means within the socio-economical realm. Of course they have their reasons for voting how they do, these reasons being identarian non-sense made up of the ruling class for its political gain.

School districts are really only an American thing. Everywhere else they're funded directly by higher levels of government. I think in Australia it's done at the state level.

>Only rich people can afford

Yes, exactly. And if you can't agree with this you most be a person that is completely removed from the actual real life of most common people like the pampered suburbanite you are or even worse.

You can't get people to vote for you by bashing them. Saying you "represent their interests" is just bullshit. Nobody represents the interests of the poor in America. West Virginia voted for Clinton (the first one) and guess where it got them?

You cutting welfare is gonna hurt a ton of whites you moron.

No I'm not, and the only homeschooled family I know is working class as fuck. The dad is a reserve coast guard, mom is a SAHM, and they got 6 kids.

You don't need to be rich to be married or have extended family. I mean, maybe in Germany but not in the USA.

it's not really against their interests per se though

as i mentioned, many of them are god fearing people, and would consider Christian interest politcs as of a higher priority to them than economics

Then they can't really expect sympathy for having shit living conditions

>No I'm not, and the only homeschooled family I know is working class as fuck
muh anecdotes
>I mean, maybe in Germany but not in the USA.
Homeschooling in any shape or form is completely outlawed in Germany.

Cringe. If there isn’t some sort of U.N.-sanctioned invasion of this country within the next 5 years, just let the nukes fall.

>it's not really against their interests per se though

If you are defining hurt feelings and identity politics as interests on par with real materialist economical conditions than sure.

Southern poor whites without college or high school education are the bulk of the GOP base. They vote against their best interest (social programs) because of guns, Jesus and abortion.
Majority of blacks vote democrat because they only cut social programs by a little.

do we really need another thread with euros screeching how 3rd world we are? nobody here except the most juvenile hardasses disagrees that america is a failed nation propped up by its military and geopolitical position

>muh anecdotes
As opposed to yours? What makes you think that 2 parent families are exclusive to the rich?

>Homeschooling in any shape or form is completely outlawed in Germany.
Lol wtf. Really? ANY shape or form? So like, if you want to help your kid with their math lessons on the weekend you get arrested? Fuck that.

Wow! It's almost like over the last 60-80 years, things have changed! Who would have thought that change would happen in two generations!

>So like, if you want to help your kid with their math lessons on the weekend you get arrested?
>Helping your kid with homework is the same as actual homeschooling.

If you fucking Sup Forumstards try to set up an ethnostate here I'll shoot you
You fucking coastal goblins need to grow up and fuck off

>weekends
Weekdays
In Germany, you can't keep kids out of schools from Mondays to Fridays. You have to send them to public or private schools.

He's the one who said homeschooling in ANY shape or form.

Most people wouldn't necessarily count that as homeschooling so long as the kid does most of their learning at public schooling, but apparently in Germany ANY type or form of learning at home is banned. If that doesn't raise red flags nothing will.

>So like, if you want to help your kid with their math lessons on the weekend you get arrested?

Homeschooling, not tutoring in general. If it is intended to completely replace formal school education then it's illegal. Exceptions can only be approved by the ministry of education itself, like in the case of severe health issues and then you get schooled by a (publically) licensed teacher.

Every 10 years or so there are some fundamentalist sects that get swatted and vanned because they aren't sending their kids to school because they consider evolutionary biology icky.

Really? Based on empirical evidence I believe 95% or more of Americans consider themselves to be the greatest people in the world living in the greatest country in the world.

>Be Americans
>Don't have to go to school anymore
>Get shot by dad thinking you're a burglar

Don't forget your de facto role as a financial hub and reserve currency
When you lose those you'll really be fucked

This.

We will only cut off welfare for nonwhites

>Homeschooling, not tutoring in general.
What if that tutoring takes place....at home? Uh oh. Better not let the German police find out.

>If it is intended to completely replace formal school education then it's illegal
Then its not a ban on "ANY shape or form". Just the shape or form that supplant "formal schooling".

>these reasons being identarian non-sense made up of the ruling class for its political gain
it's not really made up though
listen to any democrat-supporting liberal media personality. the contempt they have for working class white americans is very much real. if the left in america ever want to gain a foothold again they have to change the way they present themselves.

well usually they aren't the ones wanting sympathy in regard to their shit living conditions. in fact, that's pretty central to their political identity.

i am judging their interests by what they say their interests are, it's not up to you to decide that for them. if they are content with their material conditions so long as their elected representatives support key legislation that matters to them, so be it.

>can't ban guns
>ban school instead

No, only the greatest country in the nation.

That's what schooling generally means. School education. Nobody calls homework help homeschooling.

Well, sorry I though the definition of 'homeschooling' is any form of education that is meant to replace any form of attendance-based school education public or private, not that it extends to other kinds of supplemental forms of education like tutoring.

This is just a strike btw you retards.
Are you from reddit. Almost no American believes that. This is not the 90s

Thats unironically true. Dont listen to self hating contrarian neets. They fell victims of Sup Forums memes

Just stop it. Everyone knows what the German meant by "homeschooling". Stop being that desperate to win a lost cause.

>Healthcare through your employer
Thats's some feudal shit right there

Kys. Nothing's changed since the 90s except we have a retarded president and political turbulence as a result. We are still a great nation and we believe in our core values

Healthcare through employer is typically much better (its also heavily subsidized by the state).

WV teachers employer is the state anyway so? If its shit, then so must be European healthcare.

>Kys. Nothing's changed since the 90s
Lol. Let's base public policy and the circumstances that existed almost 30 years ago.

>having to work
Yeah thats disgusting too. Capitalist exploitation. Retard

>Healthcare through employer is typically much better

It's better because other forms have been purposely sabotaged and underfunded. Again, another self-made problem.

what if you're injured and you can't work?
checkmate

>primary and secondary education is now optional.
>primary education
>optional
Seems like Trump truly was the president Americans did not need, but they did deserve

You get medicaid/medicare

Underfunded yet takes up a TON of budget.

Yeah because Trump forced WV teachers on strike. They wanted to work but Trump said "nope sorry teachers you need to go on strike now"

Are you retarded?
