Home Schooling

Home schooling is such a divisive subject. It splits families and friends right down the middle. And why is that? Why would those who have their children in public school be so anti the home school movement? We pay taxes for the public schools, and we receive nothing in return from the government to fund our children's education.

Shouldn't that be enough for an outsider to ponder the reasoning? Why would one give up any glimpse of personal time to educate children if it was some crazy issue? We choose to educate our children after accessing the public schools agenda has changed over the past 30 years into being a platform for an extremely loose viewpoint and world view instead of America view.

We choose to do without, so that our children will be educated in the true sense of the word, not being educated by powerful groups that want to desensitize the children about homosexuality, create children that believe that America is evil and destroying the planet and having the NEA decide what curricula should be used. Remember the basics?

Teachers are angry that they may be held accountable for children failing. Wow, shouldn't that be who is accountable? If the teachers focused on the basics, and skipped the indoctrination(showing Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth over and over)
saying that the Bush is worse than Bin Laden, and teaching sexual orientation instead of abstinence. My goodness, why teach how a homosexual couple has relations. This is sick. Why teach five year olds about the fairy tale about two kings. The children are not even old enough(or shouldn't be aware) of any sexual behavior.

Now I am not knocking public schools, but the system no longer is heading towards the education of our children,but a bankroll from us weak taxpayers.

I could purchase all the supplies for my kids(k-12) with the money spent on one child, per year in public school. The system is wasting the money, and we are constantly told that teachers are so underpaid. Hey so are cops, but this career choice was the teachers, and therefore not an issue. If one wanted a large income, become a doctor, lawyer or gambler.

If my kids fail, it is on me. So I make darn sure that the basics are being mastered.
If home schooling was so terrible, then why are the results so impressive? Why are average intelligence home schooled students testing so high? Because unlike the public schools, we demand the best, no ADHD, no labels no excuses. Life is coming no matter what label or what we diagnose the children with. They will need to become members of society. So the question is: Do you want a person to go into the world demanding exemptions due to all kinds of fluff, or do you want person, who was taught that hard work nets results, family, God, and country are important, and that a large part of education is researching and finding answers, not having something fed to you without thought or reason?

For those whose children are in the public schools, you can accent the education they receive. Take nothing for granted, read all the required books that your kids read. A few years ago a history book recorded Columbus discovering the New World in 1500. Also review information, and tell the kids your viewpoint. Global warming and global cooling are cycles not what Al Gore is teaching. George Bush is not evil, our economy despite the MSM is the best it has ever been, and we have lower unemployment than under Clinton. Your children will not be told this in the schools. You must arm them with how to find the truth.
