Government run education is what has helped destroy this country.
The government controlling education is a conflict of interest.
I’ve been watching the Smithsonian channel for several weeks. They are doing Aerial over America series and I am learning so much about the States and cities and towns all over America. Things not mentioned in history books. Lot of it is regarding the Indians, white settlers, how towns were named, the wars/battles fought there, neat places to visit, etc.
This Amish gentleman must realize that he cannot control what is taught.
Yep! Always give to the HSLDA!!!
“What was the year slaves founded the United States?”
“Name five reason Obama is the greatest President in history.”
“How did capitalism fail and ruin the lives of millions of Americans?”
“What are key moments in the fight for women’s right to choose abortion?”
Write an essay “White supremacy and Its Toxic Influence on America.”
You get a C.
Keep working. We will send you copies online of the Best of Marx and Engels and Who’s Responsible? Not Me by Hillary Clinton.
Sounds like an admirable education your wife set up for them.
God bless her.
But without public schools how can kids learn about choosing sex change, how to cross dress and what’s wrong with the American Way of Life? Don’t they need to know?/s
Seems a government approved religion is being demanded.
Wash your mouth with soap.
I pay for my grandkids to go to private school just so they will not learn "common core" math. The giants of the past: Einstein, Maxwell, Newton, Fermi, Lawrence, Edison, etc. never spent one second learning common core math.
Certainly, the same emanations from penumbras that allow for gay marriage would also allow for home schooling.
They are both home privacy issues.

Hines is a black Democrat state representative from the congressional district of the communist congressman Bennie Thompson. They are reprehensible professional victim Democrats in Mississippi. If one wants to see how sorry and idiotic these politicians are from that area, just watch the Mississippi government in action for a day.
Mississippi FReepers, how is the Senate in Mississippi?
Very “diversive” divisive stupid bill— which will never pass. Forcing home schooling which has its own accreditation status from accepted US wide curriculum providers (ie. libraries, online sources and many more) to present a STATE created school course is eliminating HOME schooling.
The course this bozo is requiring is sub-standard to existing homeschooling curricula. It is, in fact political indoctrination that they could not get done any other way. Home schoolers who go on to college— with some exceptions are able to resist the machinations of the tenured Leftist professorial liars.
/s Well Frank, you bring up some valid concerns. But regrettably, some times we must put aside our personal freedoms and perversions for the benefit of society as a whole. On the other hand, since we only have 11.23 years left anyway, who really cares?
:::pass an ACT or a SAT test for college entrance:::
List the subjects for the test EVERY student must pass and I say ok. If home school is going to be held to a higher standard I say ,What is wrong with government schools that they cannot pass the harder test?
You are correct but I taught math and my school required I use an outline provided by the state (CA) I had no problem doing this as I knew my subject and taught what had to be learned and work the required material. (and yes, I was able to demonstrate that I taught the outline too.
Only meant I had to pay attention to both, but I still got to teach math. And while they tried to mess with my HS math with the “new math” I still managed to get the true hang of the subject and good teachers (and I put home school teachers in this category) will do the same regardless of what useless laws the state of Mississippi come up with.
I thought there were some state mandated courses that homeschooling had to teach, basic English, Math, Reading, Civics, American History, etc. in order for the students to be certified for advancement to the next school level.
