What are your opinions on homeschooling?

My opinion: Both have pros and cons.

I have heard that homeschooled kids are often better academically and more intelligent compared to average students. But they have bad social skills and have a lot of anxiety.

In normal school, you might have better social skills for sure. And you might grow up good if you don't get influenced by the rotten people at school and if you don't get into drugs or stuff due to peer pressure. But that's IF YOU DON'T GET INTO THESE. If you get into these, good luck getting outta these. And there's the concern of getting bullied too......

So I personally think homeschooling might be a better choice.

Learned about this social media called "UpScrolled" just now. What are your thoughts on it?

I actually searched it up online in order to know more and on Reddit, the reputation was not much good. For example, they were saying the platform is full of porn and gore and stuff. Another user was saying that they wouldn't be surprised if Zionists were filling up the platform with such stuff (because there's a lot of anti-Zionists and FreePalestine-movement supporters there.

Aside from this, I searched the app up on Aurora Store and it showed it has 4 trackers (which is a red flag for me). These trackers are: Sentry, Huawei Mobile Services (HMS) Core, OneSignal, Google Firebase Analytics.

My thoughts so far: As a Big Tech's alternative, I expected it to be at least decentralized and have no harmful trackers. But nope. It isn't decentralized, has trackers, not even open-source, has ads. Was disappointing to me.

Just a thought but imagine if by any chance, they have already secretly succeeded in accomplishing this. And imagine if they're already doing it in secret. Do you think this is likely?

Do you care about celebrating birthdays much or no? Personally, I don't care much about celebrating birthdays.
