I’d rather have my kids be mindless automatons of myself than mindless automatons of Karl Marx, Margaret Sanger, and Alfred Kinsey.

“If you want to keep your kids from reality and turn them into mindless automaton copies of yourself”

Instead, let your kids become tools of the state, you know, like the Hitler Youth. God, liberals make me SICK!

Now, that is funny. We homeschooled our boys. Both received full-ride scholarships at major universities. Both were on the Dean’s list every time.

Universities WANT homeschooled kids, as most that want to continue their education are already autodidacts, and are typically guaranteed to represent their school in a respectable manner.

Bump from a proud parent of a homeschooled child that is now a happy, well adjusted and successful adult who ran rings around most of her public school indoctrinated contemporaries.

She went to public high school for 3 eye opening years. Looking back I still marvel at the ignorance, incompetence, duplicity, amorality, sheer laziness and the incessant outright lying of those in the system at the HS and the entire county school system. I shudder to think how much worse it must have gotten since my dealings with them ended in 2000.

If our public school system isn’t radically overhauled, there is no hope. And I just don’t see that happening. It is too late for incrementalism.

If you want your children to learn to think for themselves, then homeschool them.

If you want your children to not be slaves to the collective, then homeschool them.

From Dictionary.com at 8:32pm EDT, Aug 11, 2014:
Examples for homeschool

If you wish to teach your children such nonsense, then homeschool where lame propaganda can remain unchallenged.

If she can’t find anyone willing to validate her helicopter parenting, she’ll homeschool.

If you want to keep your kids from reality and turn them into mindless automaton copies of yourself, homeschool them.

The kits are also available through school and homeschool suppliers, and toy and gift catalogs.

So this year, along with our other homeschool subjects, we’ve been doing a unit on food.

Parents may homeschool their children for a number of reasons.

In order to homeschool, parents may need to dedicate a significant amount of time to schooling their children.

The last three are middle of the road and okay by me. The first three are batshit lib crazy.

UPDATE: Dictionary.com has removed the offensive “recommended sentences” which slammed homeschooling. Thanks to all who wrote in.

They're still there as of a few seconds ago.

humor only works when there’s a bit of truth to it.

homeschooled kids score better on standardized tests like sat, and the parents are generally more concerned about, and involved in, their kids’ education than the average parents.

it isnt meant to be funny because the generalizations are the opposite. it is a deliberate slam, not meant to be funny. funny would be doing it regarding public school parents, not homeschooler parents, because then at least the generalizations would have some truth to them.

Did anyone else notice the wretched grammatical construction of these “sentences”?

If you want students who can write papers like this at the ages of 11 & 12 and then go on to graduate from college like this, then homeschool. BTW, FReeper PowerBaby has since accepted an offer to enroll in an MS/PhD program at the University of Illinois Champaign/Urbana. She is one of but seven students in that program.

It reminds me of lame “home skool” t-shirt sold by J.C. Penney’s a few years ago.

But you know that wasn't designed by a public school kid...They misspelled "hoam". (/s)
