    This is some libertarian ‘pull themselves up by their bootstraps’ bullshit that I also never hear from anyone who actually has a child. Children do not have fully-developed brains. That alone should be enough to realize that they can’t be trusted to teach themselves things properly. They need guidance.

    Also, letting a six-year-old decide for themselves whether or not they want to learn to read and know what 1+1 equals is just fucking stupid.
