It's sad how easy it is to manipulate the general public through NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and the Delphi method.
No wonder why we are in so much trouble.
History, schmistory!
Combined PING! and DANG!
Thank you teachers, you have done a great job. Bill Ayres won didn’t he?
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Not your usual reason for homeschooling, but I'm sure the ignorance of our national holidays can be laid at the feet of our America hating public school system.
I found no humor in that video. Truly depressing that there are people with absolutely no knowledge of our history and how our country was founded.
Our 9th grade homeschool curriculum this year included “For You They Signed” by Marilyn Boyer. It should be required reading for everyone in the country.
I often make small talk with cashiers (esp if they are pretty). One tactic is when they ring up a significant number like $14.92, $19.41, etc., I make a comment.
One day at Wal-Mart the kid rang up $17.76. I said, “A famous date in history.” He replied, “Whut’s that?”. Flabbergasted, I said “This nation’s birthday”. He said “Kewl.”
I walked out, wiping away a tear in my eye.
