All the Green sites have a "For the Kids" psge and lots of teaching aids, videos, songs to teach, slide shows, lots of stuff styled to resemble "learning tools". They're all being told and taught songs about a borderless world, where they can live and play together. The poor kids.
I truly admire homeschoolers and pray the movement evolves and grows everyday.
I recently saw a small part of this. An 8th grader I know had has a reading class in public school, where they had to read a story. The story was called "The Hunt", and included a boy with a .22 rifle, and a rat or rats. I have not read the story. I was surprised at his assignment, however, which was to write a two to three page story *from the rat's point of view*! Consider that this almost forces the child to anthropomorphize the rat!!
I suggested to him that he write an essay simular to this:
Wake up. Itch, Itch, Itch. Scratch Scratch, Scratch. Bite, Bite Bite. Bite itcher. Eat itcher. Good, Good. Smell Smell Smell. Urinate, Urinate, Urinate. Deficate, Deficate, Deficate. Look, Look , Look. Listen, listen, listen.
I think you get the drift, It might be hard to get two pages of this, but you could put the rat through a day of dodging enemies, fighting other rats, seeing another rat get traped, and later cannabalizing the same (rats are famous for cannabalizing), with the whole idea to dedisneyfy the whole subject.
I will report back if he took my suggestion.
Even the "newspapers in education" - the combined project of American's hometown newspapers and the left wing - targets America's children. It's frightening how systematically they go about their "work." Anyone would think it was a vast left wing conspiracy. [^:
