I "Gad'gee'ate-ted" in 74 out of high school, from a small country school, and they focused on the 3 "R's". It's easy to get a good curriculum for Home Schooling and David Barton is where to start !

So what should she be inspired by? The state? Satan? Dog feces?
Nanny State PING!
( Sitting here chuckling at the spell choice of words.)
There may have been other reasons not to homeschool but you are definitely a literate person. Helping with homework would not have been a reason.
Did you visit your area's homeschooling groups before ruling out homeschooling for your children?
Honestly, people choose not to homeschool for invalid reasons. They simply have not fully investigated what is involved in homeschooling and their own K-12 experience influences their decision. A visit to one of the meetings of their local homeschooling groups would have provided the information needed to make a sound decision regarding homeschooling.
I am talking of my personal experience. I wished when my children grew up I could have sometimes gone to classes with them so I could have learned the different systems than I learned when I was educated in Germany. I could have taught the teachers to, that from the third grade on students should be taught only to use ink pens
Some children will need to be institutionalized for their schooling. It is a shame. We need orphanages, too, but no one is claiming that orphanages are the best way to rear a child.
This is very interesting.
The girl’s father is an associate pastor at a large evangelical church.
Most “conservatives” if they vote at all in school board races just go with the “friendly incumbent”, a likely liberal whose name they happen to recognize.
Right on! I lost count of how many times I heard people use that reason to send a homeschooled kid back to public highschool. Sheer madness.
If you are qualified to raise kids the you are qualified to homeschool. Really. The statistics are in and even parents with no high school diploma do as good a job as the average public schooled kid.
“I could have never home schooled my children. I was never able to help them with their home work, as I was educated in Germany which has a different system.”
So? who says you have to teach them some ‘American’ way? Many homeschooler teach in ways that are far stranger than your German schools were. Seriously. MUCH different. And they still work. Lots of techniques work. It is just not that hard. The variety of curriculum available today is ASTOUNDING
**“Government officials telling little girls they can’t mention God is not the law,” said Liberty Institute President Kelly Shackelford. “It’s unlawful discrimination and it’s morally wrong.”**
One to follow for I believe the girl and her family will win this case.
Yeah. Some parents are in prison.
Are you sensitive about your own handing of your children off to the state? Back a few years ago when home schooling made a lot of people defensive and I used to get a lot of responses protesting that busy people just don’t have time what with both spouses working and football games to go to and “What about socialization?” Almost no one protests his own unfitness or lack of inclination and time any more.
