This is terrible! How will kids know what pronouns to use without grooming?

“...warned some could drop off the radar of authorities without increased protections.”

It’s true the kids will drop off the radar of authorities, but it has nothing to do with protection. Control.

UK authorities are like TPTB in the USA. They bought into the fable of Covid, and an unintended consequence was home schooling. They achieved one control, but lost another. Too bad. So sad.

Another homeschooling ping. I had no idea that it was so unregulated in Britain.

Every time I watch the National Spelling Bee its a bunch of home schooled kids competing for the title.

Never any from government schools.

homeschooled kids won’t be programmed with the pronoun bs or the freakshow of sexual deviancy?

sounds good to me.

Any parent that remotely loves their children will remove them from the government indoctrination and perversion academies immediately.

Prepper ping - (England) Home Schooling increase raises concern over children's access to support resources

(From the article):" Dame Rachel de Souza, the children’s commissioner, said ...“
Those that choose to exercise their right within the law to home educate are indeed entitled to do that,
however, I do think that it is important to know who they are
and where they are to make sure that children are accounted for and have support if it is needed..”

"A Department for Education spokesperson said:...“This will not impact the right of parents who want to educate their children at home,
provided it is done with the child’s best interests in mind and the education is suitable.”

(My Comment): Expect a further crackdown on independent thought and independent schooling offered by 'home schooling'
as the formal government school system resents and resists their inability to program indoctrination and expose children to uniform 'State thought'.
This is all done under education agencies using the guise of concern for the children and access to resources,
and not concern for children's accelerated and advanced higher learning.
It's a governmental ploy !
Expect the same lame concerns in this country by school systems and school administrators.

Independent thought through a Home Schooling program is resistance to governmental 'Group Think" and indoctrination.

I know a lot of kids that were homeschooled. If the parents do their job right, the kids turn out very well adjusted and well educated.

Less children indoctrinated! The horror!
Frankly, the USA would be much better off if parents spoke to their children about what they are learning in school and then helped guide them; versus the lazy parenting that simply expect the system to “educate” their children.

The liberal hand-wringing is so predictable - It *must* be a bad thing that anyone would want to educate their child outside of govt’s dictates...Oh, heavens...think about the children...where are my smelling salts...

More propaganda. The WEF wants home-schooling (tele-school) So that all children, regardless of Country get the same education. COVID was a dry run.

Put the kids up against each other, one on one. Test them and see who comes out on top.

Edu.Gov won’t do that because they know who will come out the winner.

In my state of Tennessee, there is a local channel that runs a show called College Bowl. It is a Jeopardy! like show featuring local high school students. The questions would put people like recent Jeopardy champ Amy Schneider into quadruple digit negative territory for scoring. The questions are tough. Some are easy, a few no brainers but overall...tough. Example;

"Each element of the Periodic Table has a unique electron configuration. What is this configuration for the following elements?"
Neon
Sodium
Zinc

I took chemistry and am not bad but I was clueless. I didn't even recognize the answer. Another (as best as I can recall);
"1x divided by 5=3x...solve for x. You have 10 seconds"

My answer...and for all algebra equations...was 42.

Now...to the point.

The team that just won the season long championship was a local team comprised of home schooled kids. They beat the next best local High School team....595 points to 230 points. They smoked every team they faced in similar fashion. It was like watching the 1938 Yankees playing the Toledo Mudhens.

A one off? Possibly. But, I don't think home schooled kids are at all lost.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Re: suitable education

Who and what determines a “suitable” education?
