God brings good out of evil again and again.
This is why, after viewing the last month of riots, looting and BLM protests, I find it very difficult to believe that black Americans will be better off in 10 or 20 years. Indeed, they will be far worse off - which is exactly what the Left and their political masters want.
Family structure, community, raising of children (especially boys),Christian ethics, is NEVER talked about. Only grievance. They are being led over a cliff.
About half of marriages end in divorce. The other half end in DEATH! Don’t get married!
Kid could use a better pair of glasses.
There’s your “White Privilege” for you, Two-Parent Families.
Marriage and especially close extended families are the most resilient unit for survival in crisis.
This is so anthropologically and historically obvious it should not be debated.
However we’ve damaged our country by the two demons of mobile success without localized successes (I mean outsourced economy which, while has some limited benefits, has separated extended families) and social engineering in the form of the evils of Marxism and immorality.
There is a radio advert where the kids tell bullying stories of how they learned in English they were dummies, and in PE they were worthless, and in Science they were a slut, etc.
THIS is the “socialization” anti-homeschoolers are advocating.
The kids’ mental health is greatly improved by NOT being in school, too.
“Parents of young children had an ADDED responsibility of teaching their children...”
‘Added’? Certainly if they put their kids into public schools, they’d realize by now that ONLY they are the ones actually educating their kids. The schools, of course, are there for daycare and indoctrination, which I’m sure every FReeper here understands (I wish).
And for the first time in my life there is money in my money market account.
Should have done it in 1978.
they prove us right again
won’t even admit it
It’s been fun being at home for the past 4 months with the wife.
Hooray for marriage.
When my son was in 8th grade, they took the top 1/4 of the class in math, and had them skip 8th grade math, and moved them into Algebra 1. At the start of each school year, they have a parent night, and the group the parents were put in were based on what math class the kids were in.
Being a small town, and knew of all the kids and parents in the class. Might not be friends, but knew them all. And here is the kicker and point of my post...
Of the 20 kids in this advanced math group, 19 of them still had their parents married. (One girl lived with her divorced mom). No step families, their actual parents.
Doesn't mean divorced parents don't try. Doesn't mean you can't succeed if your parents are divorced. But this is one example of the huge advantage kids with married parents gain, in regards to educational success.
Yet another good consequence of the epidemic.
