  • If I’m not mistaken, He-Man was the one that started the boom of “cartoons that are actually 20 minutes of ads for a toy line”, all thanks to the amazing profits that George Lucas was making off the toy rights of Star Wars.

    Bucky o’Hare’s characters were designed after the toys, ensuring that any holes a kid would see in the toys was also there in the cartoon. These holes were usually on the soles or hands to attach accessories.





  • The majority that defend homeschooling do so on pure ideological grounds. They accuse schools of indoctrinating kids, but they want to personally ensure their kids are indoctrinated the way they (the parents) deem correct. “Sex is evil! Women should submit to men! <Ethnicity> is pure evil! Never question me!” - these parents should NEVER homeschool their kids.

    There are very few situations where homeschooling would be better for the kid over traditional schooling, and those situations are usually remedied with the school getting its shit together and being at least decent.

    The school can’t always get better though and can even be harmful to kids, due to bad teachers, bad staff, bad classmates or general precarious conditions, especially if the kid has any sort of special need (autism, down’s syndrome, etc). Changing schools isn’t always an option, whether due to distance or cost of moving back and forth every day, and that’s usually when homeschooling should be done.
