"We're not religious home-schoolers, and there's somewhat of a feeling of being outnumbered," said Perry, who has home-schooled three of her four children after removing her oldest child from a public school because of a health condition.
Perry said she cobbled together her own curriculum after some mainstream publishers told her they would not sell directly to home-schooling parents.
Wendy Womack, another Lexington home-school mother, said the only scientifically credible curriculum she's found is from the Maryland-based Calvert School, which has been selling study-at-home materials for more than 100 years.
It's not Christian publishers fault that there's no curriculum out there. The parents need to complain to the secular publishers who refuse to sell to homeschoolers.
THAT'S who their beef should be with.
“Perry said she cobbled together her own curriculum after some mainstream publishers told her they would not sell directly to home-schooling parents.”
I picked this up too.
The secular establishment wants nothing to do with her, so she goes and gets angry with the people that ARE willing to sell her the materials because she wants them to be identical to the materials of the people whose bent is to want nothing to do with her!
Lady, you’re running up against the statist, megalolithic education establishment. We’ve been throwing our little rocks at that wall forever, and we can tell you they don’t want anything to do with people like you.
Besides, how does she know she likes their stuff anyway? She’s probably never read it; she certainly didn’t read the text from the homeschooling company before she bought it.
