I homeschooled my kids for 12 years and learned more homeschooling them than i ever did in public schools.
That said, I have not read most of your reading list, the dates in history are irrelevant as are some of the facts that you are asking about.
Public education these days rots, but it’s not child abuse to not know all the stuff you are demanding kids know otherwise they are abused.
Well said, and I appreciate your posts on Grace church. I know John.
It isn’t that you can remember a date of an assassination——
It is that you can train your brain to remember ANYTHING.
A friend had a daughter who didn’t get good grades in a majority of her classes. I asked her WHY? Girl said—”I never can remember anything”. I am talking about a junior in high school who couldn’t do multiplication tables in her head. NONE AT ALL. Couln’t make change for paper bills.
BUT-—then the radio in the car came on with a BRAND NEW country song, which she knew every single word & note of.
I pointed that out to her-—that she could remember songs, but not her lessons. I told her-—YOU CAN REMEMBER-—you just choose NOT TO. She didn’t talk to me for days.

Just as irrelevant as Time, itself... </SARCASM*gt;
(Time = (paraphrasing Hawking) "...that which keeps everything from happening at once...")

Dear lady, your posts generally reflect knowledge and wisdom. Whence, then, did the above idiocy come?
How is it that you are assured that your mother was not born before her great-grandfather?
How do you know that the quotation, "...a date that shall live in infamy..." was not first applied to the election of Barack Hussein 0bama?

Do you think you might want to revise your overstated disdain for factual knowledge a wee bit? '-}
