\nDawn: How do you feel about marriage
\nBitter-Girl<\/a>: I’m pro marriage but up in the air about kids
\nDawn: really?
\nBitter-Girl: I like them and all, but it would be very hard to care for them in the way i believe kids need to be cared for with the way my life will be for the foreseeable future
\nBitter-Girl: For example, i think public schools are uniformly terrible, and i’d want to home-school
\nDawn: Home school? Why?
\nBitter-Girl: (as if this one would be tough to figure out) – I was a gifted child, and I was bored out of my mind all through school, even after they skipped me. There’s too much lowest-common-denominator teaching going on, and teachers are overwhelmed with disciplinary problems rather than academic ones.
\nDawn: Oh – that wasn’t what I thought you would say
\nDawn: If I home schooled it would be because of the negative influence of other parents shitty parenting and neglict towards their kids rubbing off on mine.
\nDawn: I am against home-schooling in general but a lot of people find it a good option
\nBitter-Girl: I can just see my poor kid trapped in his or her own personal hell for 17 years like I was instead of doing something more practical, like learning real skills, or… as I think Free Agent Nation author Dan Pink put it, apprenticing themselves for a practical purpose.
\nBitter-Girl: If you want to grow up to be a computer programmer, there’s no worse way than to go to school for computer science, for example. All the best programmers I know have other backgrounds.
\nDawn: That is certainly true and you make a valid point
\nDawn: Vocational training for high tech skills – Career track they call it in Germany
\nBitter-Girl: yes. Dan Pink said ‘hey, apprentice yourself to a web designer if that’s what you want to do” — don’t waste $40,000 on college if you don’t have to!
