Pound5260··on Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education
I see all this comments about how the homeschooled kids fail academically, and I cannot help but wonder if the people parroting this have any idea of the current state of public schools in the US. Homeschooled kids are subject to the very strict scrutiny of the court of public opinion (and ironically some of the most academically sound kids I have seen were homeschooled...) while public school kids can finish high school without knowing how to read or do basic math, and that's ok...
Pound5260··on Ask HN: What's the biggest red flag you've encountered during a hiring process?
This comment has a lot of support (and indeed was a shitty interview experience) but the one mentioning the interviewer asking if they voted for Trump due being born in a red state it's crickets. It's ok to be shitty, as long as you do it in a politically correct context.
