ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

Screw homeschooling.

I'm paying a significant amount of my tax dollars to fund the public school system. I'd rather fight to reclaim the schools. Homeschooling is giving up.

Homeschooling is the only thing that’s going to save this country.

I have watched whole communities try to take on the school board over sex ed curriculum that should NEVER have made it into the school in the first place, and the school board totally ignored everyone, even the superintendent and did what it wanted anyway.

You might as well be trying to save the Titanic.

Public schools are such an abysmal failure that they deserve to crash and burn. And homeschoolers certainly can and do vote and try to reclaim the public schools, but it’s not going to be done by sending your kids to the public schools. It’s going to be done at the voting booth and getting on the school board.

I don’t like paying school taxes either, but there’s simply nothing that can be done about that.

But no way in hell am I going to sacrifice my children on the altar of liberalism by sending them to have their minds laid waste by a public education.

Ahem. Tim Tebow is just example, among many, of the home schooling success story. Plus the Conservative Christian Bob Jones University provides wonderful, God-centered material for home schooling.

One can do both, we did. Fruitless. The places are nut houses run by the inmates. I wanted to scream many times.

We are entitled to as much say in the schools as those with kids there. According to my property tax bill.

But my experience tells me that the public school system needs to be gutted and started over. 75% or more of the teachers and administrators need to be axed. That isn’t going to happen.

No it's not. In addition to providing a critical competitor to the public monolith, it's building a mass-customized market in pedagogies perfectly suited to a voucher based educational system.

Home education also allows the same number of public dollars to be spent on fewer kids.

Yet you bitch about it.
