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.
Amen. Homeschooling might be the most effective cultural change our side can make. The government should have been eliminated from education many years ago. With no honest politicians on our side, we have to do it ourselves.
Indeed.
Here’s a free online K-12 school that operates in every state with a couple live lessons per week by full certified credentialed teachers, rigorous curriculum with minimal “woke” subject matter and in general no BS.

All you need is a high speed internet connection. If you’re low income, a laptop is provided to be returned after school ends.
And it’s not easy, it’s rigorous. Students are by law allowed to participate in varsity sports at nearby public schools. There is a social media web page for parents and loads of extracurricular activities including field trips.
Parents say it is excellent. Parents can form cooperatives too, they are called learning coaches. You can still work at a job while another learning coach fills in, you work it out with other learning coaches which days you can cover.
Everything, assignments, homework, daily lessons are all scheduled in advance. You have flexibility to schedule, for example set Tuesday for all Math lessons and assignments scheduled for the week, etc. There is a teacher for each subject with available online classes and office hours.
Alert: your student will be busy, very busy and can easily fall behind. You’ll have a parent account where you see everything your student is doing and needs to do. If your student falls behind, for example, is down sick for a few days, you can run the scheduler to spread overdue coursework in weeks ahead.
Connections Academy has been doing this well before the pandemic, they got it down, they do it right.
Agree entirely on Homeschooling!
Itnis foolish to let the government and satanic form and groom our children. In reality, it always was.
The purpose of the left is war on God, war on morality, war on life and liberty, war on America, and global totalitarian government.
I am personally for the full exercise of 2-A, and an old Swiss/Israeli type idea of everyone being trained to use guns.
HOWEVER, WHAT WE MUST GRAPPLE WITH —
In a free society, where leftist government has had it’s way in grooming several generations, when guns get into the hands of the left which is at war with God, war on morality, war with all.who espouse morality, war on life and liberty, war on America, and seeks for America to be replaced with global totalitarian government, and the natural ranks are filled with narcissists and sociopaths, the only possible outcome is mass death.
Immorality and liberty don’t mix, and will always result in mass violence and totalitarianism — period.
