Who's worse republicans or people who believe in unschooling and indigo children?

-None of the above. I don't get the connection. Worse in what way? For our society? For individual kids? I'm not sure exactly which you're asking about.



Republicans or democrats? There are worthwhile people who belong to both parties. Sure I affiliate with one over the other, but I don't think either, or specifically Republicans, are bad by nature. Some. Sure. Some of their ideas. Yup. As a general statement - no. I don't agree with every position of either party and certainly little in the extreme wings of both. Unschooling? It's is fine if that is the parents' and child's choice. I think for some families and children it works great. I do think it should come with the guidance of an involved parent, like a mentor. But that's my judgment. It's one way a child can be well educated, but not the only way. Indigo children? Psuedoscience. There are lots of psuedoscientists out there. I don't have a lot of time for that.Nothing is wrong with Republicans. Why villanize? That's kind of short sighted.



Both Reps and Dems just have different ideas of how to solve problems... anyone prejudice against the other is just too dense to understand the real issues and has just blindly chosen a herd to follow, and parrots what he hears. Like a child who has chosen sides at a game he doesn't understand and just whoops and hollers with the rest of the fans he identifies with.



And having known many unschoolers (I've taught in homeschool co-ops), I am well aware that it works. My own daughter unschooled. She's 20, away at university on scholarship. It's not for every child; but it is extremely effective with self-motivated learners.



Indigo children... that's kind of a new age thing, isn't it? I don't agree with it, but I don't feel the need to put down other people's beliefs.









So of all "Who's Worse?" I would have to say worst of all are judgmental twits who are so insecure that the only way they can reassure themselves is to make fun of things they probably don't have the mental capacity to understand.
I agree with the above answerer. And besides, randomly bashing a group is just showing ignorance.

I myself am homeschooled, but I know of a couple unschoolers, 1 of which is earning his degree at Harvard. If the kid isn't your average day public schooled dunce, then unschooling is extremely effective and pushes the persons intellectual limits.
