Isn’t free public education one of the basic tenets/planks of the communist manifesto?

"How?"

The solution should be readily obvious to everyone.

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.

The author treats public schools as public education. He lost me there.

The original purpose of public education was to elevate people not dumb them down.

Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country." Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788

"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, (A)nd if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." - Thomas Jefferson

"A Bible and a newspaper in every house, a good school in every district--all studied and appreciated as they merit--are the principal support of virtue, morality, and civil liberty." Benjamin Franklin

So true. IT IS ALL INTENTIONAL!!!!! COMMON CORE IS THE TOTALITARIAN control of every single mind in the World. (UN construct).

ALL children put into this system will be conditioned to be dependent-—they will have their Natural Instincts destroyed-—replaced by an artificially invisible prison-—where they will be incapable of “thinking outside the box”.

Individualism is the target (destroy all Western Civ which created the US Constitution). Collective “minds” will be all that is left after this “group think” indoctrination system of peer pressure (herd control) (one allowed way to think) is the goal. Fearing to think differently from the crowd—or authority figure is ingrained.

Christianity is what created Individualism and Modern Science and the Age of Reason. That is why that Worldview is being ERASED and BANNED from the public square and schools as ALL OTHER FAITHS are forced into the Mindset of the child-—like satanism (sodomy, bestiality (now promoted in our military and “Just” Laws LOL) and paganism (sodomy/polygamy) and islam (sodomy, bestiality, polygamy, idolatry).

Wisdom is being able to discern Good and Evil (Cicero). Wisdom (the Bible) was removed in the 60s intentionally to destroy ALL WISDOM and normalize demeaning and mocking of Jesus-—to destroy the possibility of having a Christian Worldview-—be critical thinkers/Logical/Rational. Without Objective Truth/God, there is no Truth—just moral relativism and many truths, even if they contradict each other (the Irrationality of Eastern Mysticism (religions) where the Age of Reason could NEVER be possible).

This Prussian system was based on Fichte and Wundt psychology:

Fichte 1810: “Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished ... The social psychologist of the future will have a number of classes of school children on whom they will try different methods of producing an unshakable conviction that snow is black. When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for more than one generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”

Those who care about raising their children as something better than fashion accessories or welfare meal tickets homeschool them or send them to private or parochial schools. All others are handing their kids over to the State to do with them as the State chooses. It is child abuse and anyone who keeps his children in Public School is a participant.

My tag line is nearly as old as I am. Is it time to direct attention to it?

Today’s lesson:

Read or figure out how many hours a year a teacher must be teaching a third grader in your state, if you can, from the following:

In preschool my grandson spends a great deal of time learning Spanish words and working on a Spanish journal. Of course, until recently, he thought fifty-five was pronounced fivety-five, so you’d think they would want the kids to master English first.

When I was a kid, schools were to educate the populace from Kindergarten thru 12th grade for free to provide an educated continuous stream of replacement workers ans others aged out.

The costs of building schools, hiring teachers, buying books, etc., was put into property taxes.

Approximately 50% of property taxes are for school costs.

Now, with children being declared ‘special needs’ kids BY THE SCHOOL BOARD WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS STATUS DECLARATION, the costs for each of these special needs kids is budgeted at 400% of what is spent on a ‘normal’ kid.

I owned the following houses:

3 BR/2 bath in So Calif from May 1966 to May 1995= 29 yrs.

2 BR/1 bath in Wis from late 1980 to late 1998. =18 yrs.

3 BR/2 bath in N Calif from Jan 1988 to Dec 2004== 17 yrs

3 BR/2 bath in N Nev from Feb 2005 to present== 16 yrs

I paid the property taxes on the Wis property for 5 years before I owned it outright, as I inherited it from my Dad.

This totals 85 years of property taxes I have paid out of my pocket.

I am now 75 years old.

I had no kids & hence, no grandkids.

I didn’t place a single child into the school system. However, I have been punished with horrendous property taxes for 85 years.

Sure would like to have half of those property taxes refunded to me.

Bruce Deitrick Price doesn't “get it”.

He wrongly clings to the fantasy that the government's socialist-entitlement and price-fixed cartel schools can be fixed. The very foundation of socialism that government socialist-entitlement schooling is built upon is rotten. Our nation is is in the condition it is due to 150 years of K-12 socialist-entitlement schooling.
