Re: 2 hours
True!
I have been preaching that since I joining Free Republic. My 3 homeschoolers rarely spent more than 2 hours a day in direct instruction.

Re: Property tax
1) Property tax is embedded in rents.
2) Businesses pay property taxes and therefore pass on their taxes to every consumer in their prices.
It is impossible to escape property taxes.

Yes indeed. Most of the male teachers in high school were veterans. My chemistry/physics teacher was a captain of a submarine in both WWI and WWII. My American history teacher was an infantry grunt in WWII, and served in North Africa and Italy.
My college professors in the physics department had the same mix. One was a platoon Sargent in the 101st. He said Bastone was pure hell. Another was a ground crew chief for B17s operating out of England. Still another was a tail gunner in a B17 over Africa and Europe. (He double upped with two tours)

If they succeed it will be our fault. Agreed. It is a fight worth anything and everything it takes to win.

This is a battle that parents lost in the 1960’s, 1970s, and 1980s..
They meekly surrendered all their parental rights...
That war is over...
It will take 60-years (a few generations) of real effort to win the children back...

Yes, this is another reason to home school but this is also another reason to get involved with your local school board.
Your children do not have to be in the school system for you to be involved. It is not fun. It is not engaging. But just by simply reading their books and bring up what is in them you can have their heads spinning and them puking pea soup. And that is kind of fun.
Be polite but insist on being heard.
One of my proudest accomplishments politically is I have a letter signed by both the school board AND the teacher's union complaining about me.

My brother's seventh grade teacher was a full on witch and would talk about it in class.
That was fifty years ago.
People who talk about how it is a recent thing are deluded. It has been at least 80 years that the schools have had the official policy of perverting the kids and rendering them illiterate.
"Why Johnny Can't Read" was published in 1955. It was obvious at that point there was a problem.

About 20 years ago, I was in a restaurant sitting adjacent to a group female middle school teachers. One of them was my kid’s teacher. I over heard one teacher say that she hates the Jesus freaks in her class. I said excuse me, did I hear you call kids Jesus freaks? She looked astonished and scared. I wrote a letter to the principal reporting the incident. Wow... Good for you!!

The lefties swarm the oddball off cycle elections, the ones in May and April that are usually local and cover school boards and other low level “inconsequential” stuff…
Draw the line on your local scrub elections and there is fertile ground to start the counter offensive…
