The left has a stranglehold on education for a reason that benefits them. Another Reason to Homeschool!
A good reason to cut all education spending. Why fund this commie seditionist system?
When 80% of people who think they’re ‘conservative’ dump their kids into those institutions, then the cause is LOST.
They deserve EXACTLY what their kids are turned into.
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.
Rethinking American ‘Education’
There is no such thing as ‘education’ in America. I worked with university students and graduate students
Not even ONE of them could speak or write effectively. Also, they have zero, basic understanding of the barest facts of American history or of world history, generally.
If they wrote an e mail making a request, it was not articulate or clear. It took several readings to clarify and usually I had to question them directly, just to be sure what they were saying.
They are pathetic.
This doesn’t nearly sufficiently deal with it.
Simply having competing models of government-funded schools doesn’t solve much of anything.
The current model I am convinced has been systematically designed to dumb down our populace. It soaks up the time, energy, curiosity and morality of our youngsters—and too often spits out a perverted, ignorant, unintelligent and unmotivated product.
Look to what home schoolers accomplish and find ways to apply that model to more and more of our students. The “pods” during our lockdown may be one start toward that.
Also, the last thing we need to do is try to divert what smart and motivated young adults we have into teaching. It always struck me that a simply decently educated, moderately able high school graduate ought to be able to turn right around and teach what they learned to younger students. In our frontier days that largely would have been what happened and was more than sufficient.
