Broaddus raps

I really have a hard time believing you served in the Marine Corps. Every Marine I know acted like Sargeant Gunny Highway. You act like Gomer Pyle.
And yet he was still a Marine.

You’re just a guy fishing for a pat on the back by telling people how you supposedly regretted not joining the military.

Lol. Rockport was NEVER a Marine. He lies about that all of the time.

Marines treat others with dignity and respect, whether they deserve it or not.

And Rockport doesn’t have an ounce of dignity in his whole body.
 
Oh, bro, you sound alpha for sure.

But you forgot to add "....I was homeschooled, married my cousin, and live within a two-mile radius of where I was born!"

:lmao2:
Are you making fun of homeschooled families?

Because it is a well established fact that homeschooled kids are much more educated and test much higher than public schooled kids.
It’s literally not even a contest. Somewhere around 25 percentage points higher for homeschoolers.

The public school system is a complete clown show which needs to be entirely torn down and rebuilt from the ground up.

How do you know that? That’s a real question.

Were you in the Marines?

Feel free to cite your sources. Here’s a hint, if you’re getting talking points from home school affiliated organizations/websites, don’t bother.

Rebuilt into what? Let me guess, PragerU’s curriculum? You want to varnish history and say that slaves were learning useful skills?

Yes. I was an Air Force brat and grew up deeply associated with the military. We were stationed in Tinker AFB in Oklahoma, Shepherd AFB in Texas, and in Japan.

The armed services helped to pay for my medical schooling.

There’s literally nothing “military” about Rockport whatsoever. No honor, dignity, respect, truthfulness, or anything else. He even runs from adversity.

Google AI is a wonderful tool:

Homeschool vs Public School Academic Performance:
The home-educated typically score 15 to 25 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests (Ray, 2010, 2015, 2017; Ray & Hoelzle, 2026). (The public school average is roughly the 50th percentile; scores range from 1 to 99.)
  • A 2015 study found Black homeschool students to be scoring 23 to 42 percentile points above Black public school students (Ray, 2015).

So, when it’s all boiled down, you’re going with vibes over actual verification?

As if being in the military somehow means you are immune from lacking honor, dignity, respect, truthfulness, et cetera.

If you really believe that why is the divorce rate amongst active-duty military members is apx. the same as non-military couples?

No one said military people are perfect. Trust me, we definitely aren’t! Lol.

But those who claim a career in the military, at least have some noticeable good qualities here and there. He, on the other hand, has none of those. His goal in life is to belittle anybody who doesn’t think the way that he thinks.

Yeah, it is wonderful isn’t it. Let’s not ignore the fact that Ray was commissioned by the National Home Education Research Institute to do the study.

Beyond that, there’s this:

Studies exploring the academic and demographic traits of homeschooled students—most notably the landmark nationwide research by Dr. Brian D. Ray (often cited via the National Home Education Research Institute)—face significant methodological scrutiny.

Critiques center on sampling biases, lack of causal evidence, and demographic skews.Specific issues and criticisms leveled at these nationwide studies include:

1. Severe Self-Selection Bias Voluntary Participation: Studies typically rely on families voluntarily submitting their standardized test scores. This skews the data toward highly motivated parents who are already confident in their children's academic performance, ignoring struggling homeschoolers.Not Representative: Participants represent only a tiny, non-representative fraction (roughly 2-3%) of the overall homeschooling population.

2. Correlation vs. Causation Fallacy No Direct Link: Critics point out that these studies do not establish that homeschooling causes high test scores.Underlying Factors: The high academic achievement likely stems from the broader socio-economic background of the families, such as the parents' dedication to education and higher-than-average disposable income, rather than the act of homeschooling itself.

3. Skewed Demographic Representation Lack of Diversity: The demographic pool in these studies is overwhelmingly White, Christian, and from higher-income, two-parent households.Exclusion of Vulnerable Groups: Because of voluntary reporting, these studies largely miss lower-income, secular, or transient homeschoolers, making the "nationwide" traits poorly representative of the total demographic landscape.

4. Limited Scope of Testing Reliance on Select Publishers: The academic metrics often rely on standardized tests created by specific publishers, which may not align with the educational standards or testing formats used by traditional public and private schools, complicating direct comparisons.

5. Potential Conflict of Interest Affiliated Organizations: Major nationwide studies are frequently conducted by or affiliated with pro-homeschool advocacy organizations (such as the National Home Education Research Institute or Home School Legal Defense Association).

Critics argue this can create research with an inherent agenda that portrays homeschooling in an exclusively positive light. For further reading on the debate surrounding these methodologies, you can review the Coalition for Responsible Home Education critique of Research with an Agenda.

As you know, no studies or data can be flawless and completely without one issue or another.
You can always find something to complain about. But the facts remain.

Feel free to post good sources and research showing that public school kids are more educated than homeschool children. I will wait. And I will do the same thing to you. You are not allowed to use any sources commissioned or associated with public schools since they would be biased.

But let me tell you… I have been strongly associated with both public schools and home schools my entire life. And homeschool children, on average, are much more highly educated and much more well-behaved than public school kids. It’s not a contest at all. Not even close. And anybody who is unbiased and honest would not argue otherwise.

Every reputable journal will peer-review the studies before publishing (if at all). Yes, no study is immune from critiques. However, there are varying degrees of criticism ranging from minor constructive notes to fundamental issues with methodology that undermines the study and its conclusions.

The latter is the issue with the Ray’s work. Those criticisms leveled are severe and can’t be trivialized with “well, all studies have issues so therefore it must be good reliable research…”

Seriously, it doesn’t even pass the bar stool test. You talk about honesty and integrity; are you telling me you would see red flags if the Journal of Alternative Eastern Medicine commissioned a study and published a paper called “Alternative Eastern Medicine Demonstrably Better than traditional Western Approaches?”

lol, and you’re basing this off what again? Your vibe check or the study you cited?

If it’s the former, spare me. If it’s the latter, see previous comments.

Like I said, read this comprehensive critique of Ray’s work from the Coalition of Responsible Home Education: https://crhe.org/homeschooling-academics-and-demographics-ray-2010/

The CRHE mission statement is “The Coalition for Responsible Home Education empowers homeschooled children by educating the public and advocating for child-centered, evidence-based policy and practices for families and professionals.”

So, this isn’t criticism leveled by some anti-home school advocates.

Okay. We will end this conversation here.

You have lost and cannot back up your insinuation that homeschooled people are uneducated. When in fact, everything points to the opposite.

Feel free to close your eyes and ears to anything that refutes your fantasy that public schools are not terrible. The facts, research, and genuine life experience with both homeschoolers and public schoolers completely refutes anything that you have to say on this subject.

If you want to continue living in ignorance, go ahead.

Good day sir. :thumbup:

Wait, wait, wait, lol, I misread what you originally wrote.

I asked if you were in the Marines.

Being a military brat ≠ being a Marine. So, you’re talking out your arse saying “Yes” to that question.

So, who is fake? You or Rockport?

And before you think I’m disparaging your experience living in a military household, I’m also a military brat. My dad spent 20+ years in the Navy stationed in Hawaii (before I was born), Moffett Field, Naval Air Station Dallas before it was decommissioned. My grandfather was also military and served in WWII. So, I know exactly what you’re referencing but don’t try to equate that experience as having “served.”
