Wow. She tried for a whole week. Such tenacity.
My daughter home-schools. Several of her friends have realized, with their kids being home, how poorly educated they actually are.....there are at least 3 new home-school families because of this in her small area. These are families paying $15,000.00 a year for private Christian school! These younger teachers have been brainwashed into the child-centered, whole language, self esteem nonsense.

Even in a private Christian school, the teachers are like this?
The first such propaganda stories occurred when they ran a story where after literally two days, the people in the article were whining they had to get out of the house because they were stir-crazy.

Yes and with a kindergartener.
A whole week...with a kindergardner! Sooo...haaard... Caaan’t...cooope!
We homeschooled our son, his wife was homeschooled, yet they chose a private Christian school (they cost a lot of $$$). Now the “sleeping giant (homeschool) has been awakened” in my son and DIL as they see how fast, and how easy it is to teach a child, and what fun it it is to see them learn and discover. I think this period, as home school was the only choice they had, will make parents choose homeschooling in the future.
In our extended families, most were homeschooled, then entered Dual Enrollment in 10th grade, thus graduating High School, and earning an AA at the same time (when they’re at home during the liberal arts part of the college curriculum, it’s a great time to talk about the crazy things they’re being taught, and to speak truth to what they’re being taught.
I’ve been so surprised that none of their friends who they grew up with and were homeschooled have chosen that route for their children. I think, they think, that their younger children would distract from properly teaching the school age kids (all the moms are SAHMs to begin with.} I also think that homeschool has faded in their organizations and they don’t have the opportunity to network with other homeschool moms like we did. It was exploding in the mid 90’s and we rode that curve with many, many, homeschooling parents.
We’ve reminded our son of how far home school took him, and his friends, as they followed the advice to get in school and keep going for as high a degree that was felt they needed to succeed in they’re chosen field. Dual Enrollment students can graduate with their Master’s at the same age a regular student graduates with their BA) And the MA , in about 5 years post graduation, will take them places they would’ve never thought they’d be in their positions in companies (or as an entrepreneur, or whatever line of business they’re in). Not to mention all his schooling was tuition free (dual enrollment is free, state merit scholarship paid for in state schools, and grad school paid for by being TA or GA)...so no school debt.
I’m just hoping that the opposite of this article will happen in the hearts and minds of parents who see what kind of education their kids are getting, and if they were in public school, the more defiled the curriculum i that is pushed
into it by liberal causes.
And the reality is that these parents making a schedule probably set their kids up in tiny desks all in a row and made them get dressed for school.
My homeschooled kids slept in, did their work then went and played. One son’s favorite chair was a large exercise ball. He’s now an aerospace engineer responsible for a few billion dollars worth of Uncle Sam’s satellites, so I guess it worked.
At kindergarten, “school” should be about an hour then play jedi Godzilla
