Seems to be advocating for “everyone gets a trophy” in the schools. Some kids are better in school than others, regardless of workload, time, etc.
Don’t forget the brand new book
“Heather has two genders”
Missing out on drag queen reading sessions
Missing out of placing a condom on a banana in kindergarten
Missing out learning that all white males are evil
Missing out on NEA indoctrination
Missing out on......Well... you get the point
We’re in our 28th year. No lost limbs, no felony records, everyone over 20 is employed and independent. (Well, Tom comes over to do his laundry, but that’s just to pull my chain.)
Agreed. The idiots of the world hate homeschooling.
When our kid was in K-12, we used to call that "memorization and regurgitation". Very little education on applying knowledge.
The owners of the country just want people smart enough to run the machines. They don’t want the people to have “BS Meters”, and question what they do.
I was NOT home schooled.
HOWEVER-—MY BEDTIME-—lights off—no reading—was 9:30 PM thru Junior year in high school.
Got pushed to 10 PM when a senior in HS-—same for all my younger brothers.
Obviously—we didn’t have computers & cell phones and electronic games.
BUT we also got up NO LATER than 6 AM to feed & milk cows—BEFORE we got breakfast & the school bus came to take us. ...high school. Grade school was 1/2 mile on same road.
ALL I hear these days is “START SCHOOL LATER-—THE KIDS ARE SOOO TIRED”
NO parent eems to set a decent bedtime & make it stick.
When I was a senior, I got to stay up later on FRIDAY nights because I played in the band at football games.
I was on the honor roll in high school & when I took night classes in Accounting, I got solid 4.0 in every class.
Piffle.
I used to have 24 tests in every subject. I generally did seven subjects so 168 tests a year. That was when I was home schooled.
I rarely worried about a test because I had done what they call, "study to the test" which means I actually had learned the material.
If your students were stressed and anxious about tests you probably were a horrible teacher.
That’s right!
They said our kids would miss out on socialization. We said no problem: for the boy, we hired a bigger kid to beat him up and take his lunch money. For the girl, we hired a group of snotty girls to exclude her and make fun of her clothes.
Pffft. I heard EVERY excuse from “educators” in my town and church when I yanked my kid out to homeschool. I was a pariah.
Folks, make sure you join HSLDA. You have a lawyer on the phone if the “school board” comes knockin’.
And you don’t get messed up with that society either. Public school that is.
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.
She missed the most important things of all. Your kids won’t miss:
* Woke
* Trannies
* Drag queens
* Homos
* Anti-American curriculum
* Marxism
* Rainbow flags
* Teachers in purple-haired, tats, and facial jewelry
* Teachers talking about their weekend romps with their “partners.”
* Police cuffing your kid for misbehaving
I’m sure I missed a bunch.
The teacher’s unions hate private schools and charter schools so the only other option is homeschooling and naturally they have a negative opinion of that too!
Indeed. I think that this former teacher knew exactly what she was doing.
I see a lot of stories on FR that suggest a large percentage of parents in the country are not capable of homeschooling their kids.
I thought this was going to be about special services such as speech pathology or extracurricular activities such as school trips. I don’t know about all states but in some even if a child is home taught they have a right to services offered by the public school system and to partake in extracurricular activities. The logic is that parents do pay taxes to support the school so barring children from these would be discrimination.
Marxism?
