I think a smaller and more intimate America, where children work alongside their parents, could be a good thing.
Democrats aren’t going to allow that to happen
They find a way to force kids into these schools by denying accreditation to a homeschooling child that seeks a college degree or even future employment
We weren’t among the earliest of homeschooling parents, but as Boomers we believed that it was foolish to trust the education of our children to “professionals”. Membership in Home School Legal Defense Fund was crucial in certain states and situations.
The teachers unions will continue to oppose homeschooling. The fight never ends.
No double income.
And their children turned out incredibly better educated than their public school counterparts.
Parents don't have to be knowledgeable in all curriculum areas, they just need to be dedicated to their children's future.
Black violence over-all is near the breaking point too.
Sensible people will educate their own children and get them out of the indoctrination centers now that everybody knows what they are.
This is one place liberals really screwed up with covid lockdowns. Parents got to see exactly what was going on and realized there was no way they could do worse. Add job loss and an incentive to move and Bingo! You start to break the back of big education!
In the 60s, our lawyer’s parents spent several months in jail due to their refusal to send him and his siblings to public school. His parents won and then they started the movement that has allowed Kentucky to be the most accommodating home-school state in the country. In KY, you can home-school but your children can attend any public school classes. Your children can also participate in sports, school plays, field trips, etc.
I have been hearing this for 30 years. Parents won’t get off their duffs.
Defund the Government Indoctrination Centers
Parents are banding together and hiring teachers to teach a small pod of kids part online part in person. Great idea!
I am a credentialed teacher (but ran screaming) and have tutored 1:1 for many years. We homeschooled - one of our group’s parents was accosted by social workers bc her In-laws were teachers and accused her of harming her children. That was in 1991 California. DIL homeschools in New Jersey now and said ‘it is normal now in California but they think I am weird.’ The unions don’t like it and I expect to see legislators try to make it illegal but it is the only way. (I will chat / mentor) w anyone who is starting out. To arms!
