Yikes:

Help! My wife has recently adopted the flat-earth view. She calls it dumb to believe the earth is a globe. It is beginning to cause a rift in our marriage especially since we want to homeschool our kids.

What should I do? I don’t want our kids to be taught that the earth is flat.

How should I navigate this?

As you might expect, most of the responses to this have been along the lines of "you've got bigger problems than homeschool." I was going to add my own thought that this post might not even be appropriate for the homeschooling subreddit, but the thread has been closed to further comments. At least, this is more entertaining than the usual "I have an ADHD child..." posts I see there. Those posts have made me realize there's a whole other spectrum of reasons why people choose to homeschool, most having to do with the child's being neurodiverse, as they say (as opposed to neurotypical).
