Showing mom and dad the crap their kids were being taught perhaps was counter productive to the resistance crowd.
Most of my grand kids are home schooled - but my one daughter, who was going the public route, is now going to home school. Their son is in private Christian kindergarten - he can already read, so they don’t want to hold him back.
Doubt 59% of parents have the means..and the smarts to HS their kids.
most parents can fill their children full of crappola info at least as well as public education teachers and “educators do.
Homeschooling is a parallel to home birth.
Those that oppose this idea argue with cliche arguments that are not based on facts, figures and results.
Homeschooling brings better results for the kids in both quality of education (evidenced in SAT/ACT as well as standardised testing), as well as physical (less illnesses) and emotional health (generally lower obesity and suicide rates).
Modern public full day education is assembly line education (cohort not ability based), caters to the lowest common denominator, and is designed for a dual income family where kids are stored in a secular and safe place while the parents pursue their careers. It’s Henry Ford meets Gloria Steinem. Education is not the purpose of public education. Like everything else in this country where we claim to be the best in the world, we have created the world’s most expensive public education system that performs sub-par when compared with other western industrialized nations. But we do have the most impressive football stadiums and the newest and most expensive electronics!
Well, their local property and school taxes will go up regardless, even if everyone decided to homeschool their children and the schools were empty.
Well, that backfired! Ha! I love it. Can you imagine how fantastic this would be to literally halve the number of kids in the public school system? NO ONE I know said they would send their kids to school (public, private, or charter school) if they are required to wear face masks and deal with the ridiculous measures currently recommended.
Fellow parents, I want to encourage you: YOU CAN DO THIS! It is hard, it is a sacrifice, but honestly a lot of fun, and so worth it. Let’s raise up the next generation of kids to be hard-workers, critical thinkers, passionate about freedom, and lovers of God and others.
A little humor:
It takes a village to raise a child.
It takes a distillery to home school a child.
Homeschooling is interesting. It is hard, but it is worth it. If one of your children is into naval architect, you can get books on it, while another could be interested in dinosaurs, so you can get him (or her) books on dinosaurs.
My beautician has decided to do this, as have the mothers who work in the shop she owns. They had been connsidering this since home imprisonment began because the kids were doing so well. Then they learned that masks may be mandatory at school. That was the last straw.
They are adjusting shop hours and stylists’ hours so they can cover for each other, and allow time for schooling and work.
