These kids with sensory integration problems only attend school on a very limited basis. The one boy that we knew only attended three hours per day, three days a week.for a bright child, that just isn’t enough.
I actually saw in writing that the boy had been diagnosed. I remembered it because the young son of a friend of ours had been diagnosed just a month before I read that article. It just all clicked for me.
The problem is very difficult to manage, especially with an absentee father. These kids know that there is something wrong with them and just want someone to fix it. Eventually they become resentful and angry. A full time father to help out would have been a tremendous benefit. That way the parents can play good cop, bad cop and the child still feels as though he has the support of one parent.
I would bet that the suicide rate is very high among these kids.
No one has ever mentioned the bulgy eyes that this kid had, isn’t that a sign of a pituitary gland malfunction that can result in violent psychotic behavior?
I agree I am surprised that CT is easy on homeschoolers. Surely that will change with the emboldened Gov. Malloy (big D)
I don’t need to remind you of how bad Connecticut/CT
is on the RKBA/2nd. One blog writer I read once (I now
am not sure who) related how his family moved from
a lakeshore Great Lakes town to Texas bc Texas was strong
on both rights (home schooling and RKBA). For the current
attack on Texas (TX being a major initial target) consult
any news medium of your choice today.
has anyone done a graph, one axis being the RKBA recognition
in a state of the united States, the other axis being
the recognition of home schooling?
Then there’s Virginia’s “religious exemption” that literally exempts those homeschooling under it’s umbrella from any regulation at all. Wonder why it wasn’t considered.
That's exactly backwards. Every homeschooled student decreases the money to the public school by the amount of their per-pupil funding.
That is why both the NEA and the AFT wage war against homeschoolers in every legislature across the country.
Do you get a tax reduction or credit for homeschooling your child?
If you don’t pay LESS taxes (property & income) when you homeschool, where does that money go? To the government.
Which doesn’t have to spend money to educate your child.
So the government comes out ahead financially.
Yes, the government still got our property taxes; most to the county; some to the state.
But the local school district did not get the per-pupil amounts that it would have if our students had been in public school.
But that money still was used by the government.
Money is the fuel that powers government.
Another good example is my Catholic parish which operates an elementary school of approx 400 students K-8. As citizens we pay the same taxes as anyone else in the township. But if the school closed tomorrow, the district would legally have to facilitize and staff to serve those 400 students.
The govt LOVES the fact that we reduce their student population. If somehow we could double our Catholic school population, they’d be ecstatic. Instead of spending on those students, the govt schools would have money to spend on higher salaries, more admin headcount, bigger football stadiums and swimming pools, etc.
Homeschool works exactly the same. It’s just basic economics.
Explains the government's demand for all the money going into "education". Its goals are not our goals. Public schools are a success story from the perspective of the state.
