The best podcast i listened to in a while.
Show notes:
Walker grew up as a Homeschooled Kid, how did that shape his life?
Block Height 872,651
Today's guest on the show is @WalkerAmerica, a fellow #Bitcoin Pleb and Podcaster who grew up being Homeschooled.
Walker had the great idea of us riffing about his experience being a homeschooled kid and my experience with home or unschooling my kids.
Why did his parents decide not to send him to the local school and how did that decision effect a young Walker?
What happened when @WalkerAmerica decided to join an educational institution and what life-long lasting impression has it left on him?
Why are you a Nazi if you don't like the idea of homeschooling and who founded and funded the American Education system from inception and why?
We go down some deep rabbit holes on this rip and some comments will carry trigger warnings!
This is great info. Thank you for sharing. My son is 10 and he deals with a lot of bullying. He said that the teachers don’t teach with love. It is difficult for him and causes a lot of anxiety. His anxiety lead to a condition called AMPS. He has missed a lot of school because of it. I have thought about the idea of homeschooling, but I don’t know what benefits he would miss out on with public schooling and I don’t know if I could do a great job helping him while I work 10 hours M-F.

Was bringing this fun fact to school, for the teachers to guess when we made public school mandatory. No one knew the date or which party or person was involved (admittedly, before the Epoch, my money was on Prussia to mandate it, not the Nazis).

Article 16 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights says that everyone has the RIGHT to COMPULSORY elementary education. Can't make this shit up

I've met more homeschooled bitcoiners than I have met homeschooled folks in any other interest group.

Walker does say towards the end of the pod something like: "All homeschoolers are Bitcoiners, they just might not realize it yet. And all Bitcoiners are homeschoolers, they just might not realize it yet."

Yeah, same here! Great crowd! I really think it is a proof-of-work mentality.
