Rest assured no school child will lose weight. Every Tom, Dick and Harry is handing out food so that none of the generally over-weight students will miss a meal. One would think eating is the #1 purpose of public education.
ALL homeschooling kids should learn how to put a condom on a banana, just like public schools. /s
Puts a dent in their hate-whitey curriculum.
my kids are doing everything in a couple of hours which took 8+ before.
Short version:
The WaPo said it.
Uh, no.
Educators worry years of indoctrination will be lost by a few weeks home schooling. Teacher’s Union studies say home school isn’t as good as union teachers. Minorities hurt worst.
My next door neighbor’s kids are 9 and 13. If you can picture Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer you have an idea. They are outdoors every chance they can get. The older happily helping to skid logs on his grandparents’ farm. He begs me to let him help with yard chores—won’t accept payment.
Their mom has to stay home with them because “they don’t do well at home alone”. I asked if they were doing the “enrichment packets” sent from school and she and they just laughed. They’re loving the time off.
For the majority of American homes, homeschooling will mean forcing the kids to watch PBS all day long, starting with Sesame Street.
At least for the rest of the year they will not be getting their indoctrination into socialism in a government facility.
Smart students will not suffer regardless of their family income. Some might actually do better since there are no progressive distractions.
This article isn’t really about homeschooling. It’s about online / remote / distance schooling. The same people (government, primarily) are still in charge of the curriculum.
I’ll have to let my doctoral student know that we did him wrong all those years. Who knew?
BS. What I’m hearing is some parents, whose kids are now home from public school, are now thinking they should be homeschooling their kids .... all the time.
A relative of mine has recently made the decision to home school her kids (now 4 & 1.5) and has been surprised how many other parents with similarly aged kids want to do the same. I think they’re up to a group of 8 parents with probably 12 or more kids.
Who sponsored these studies?
Its good for the kids to be at home with their ma and pa, and the birds and trees, instead of the communist propaganda that is shoved down their throats.
Instead of the system of collectivism and it’s dark despair, they can taste what its like to be children again, and play like their in heaven, outside, feel the wind, and be kids again.
Hmm. I did okay homeschooling ours. Til high school.
One is triple major with a 3.72, accepted into one of the top three grad schools in the world in the field. Tests superior in state dept standards for a foreign language all four aspects
Goes to church every week on campus.
Loves America.
Has a sense of humor.
Hmm.
The homosexualists must be in panic they will lose the children.
My wife homeschooled our oldest for a couple of years. It just wasn’t for her, but our kids didn’t lose anything by homeschooling. They graduated with honors in High School and Junior College.
Nobody is out buying their rag LOL!!
I’m thinking many parents may have their eyes opened for the first time when they see what their kids are being “taught”.
