@Uncivilized304@nyaraVT@fwprism@Asmongold dysphoria means unease, not confusion. i’d argue that asmon’s baldness gives him dysphoria - his self-concept does not match his appearance, and this bothers him to the point of seeking medical intervention. detransitioners are irrelevant here, also.
@Uncivilized304@nyaraVT@fwprism@Asmongold goal post moved, but i’ll bite. neither trans people nor asmon are confused by their genders, they merely want to be percieved in a way which aligns with their gendered concepts of self. for asmon thats a full head of hair, for trans people its any variety of affirming measures
@cyphertres@ny4nchal4nt@FKACH4RM@PutYourPawzUp i know its hard for you to fathom this but some of us are black off the phone too! you sound stupid because youre using the word incorrectly. no one is gatekeeping anything, we’re mocking you 👍🏾
@613spades@CoreyWriting no one is disagreeing with the fact that US public schools often fail their students, but the solution to that is not throwing all of them out into the homeschool system where there are even fewer set standards for achievement.
@613spades@CoreyWriting that page acknowledges quite plainly that demographics (ie is the parent doing the teaching an english phd or a fry cook, do they have responsibilities outside of teaching, etc) have an impact in the data, and that the data therefore does not prove that homeschool is better 🤷🏾♂️
@613spades@CoreyWriting again, selection bias. many states do not require homeschooled students to take state aptitude tests, making participation elective. if its elective, only parents who know their children will perform well make them take the test. the data is only accurate for high achievers 🤷🏾♂️
@613spades@CoreyWriting its not an assumption. homeschooled students are less than 2% of total SAT takers. i dont doubt that having a tailored curriculum from an effective teacher in your own home helps many students, but only a minority home schooled students are actually getting that.
