It’s not so cut-n-dry to homeschool/private school vs. publi school. What’s a single parent to do when she is divorced, husband is out of state and she’s left to raise the two kids. She has to work at a job making $16 an hour; having to rely on Medicaid, food assistance, and on public schooling as homeschooling or private schooling is not an option under those circumstances. Might not a solution be for good, God-fearing parents to GET INVOLVED, GET ENGAGED, work to get rid of progressive school boards and be actively involved in public schooling of their children. Mine are grown but I feel for anyone who just doesn’t have the choice to homeschool or pay for private school.

You raise a very valid point! May God raise up warriors to fight the public school system.
Our pastor is on the forefront of that fight!!

Rule #2 of life: Marry well, treat your spouse like gold, and stay married.

Practically every social ill stems from family strife and divorce.

Yes.

of their children.

NO!

You do not have to throw your child into a cess pit in order to clean it up. My children will never set a foot in the kiddy prison system.

But I can still be involved and engaged in the local public school. People act like you have to have your kids in public school to influence it. You do not. You do not even have to have children at all.

So get out there and get to work.

You just described someone who should not have custody of the kids ...

We have a friend in that circumstance with the exception she made more than +16/hour. Her kids (teens) did online school and she went over all of it when she got home. Her neighbor (a good friend, stay at home mom) was available if needed as well. It worked out well for them, they excelled at school and life.

Keeping children in schools that groom children will never change those schools, no matter how involved parents are. Parents might win little battles, but they’ll never win the war. Imagine handing children over to a group of pedophiles, catching them grooming your children, and then telling the pedophiles: “Don’t do that again!” And then handing the children back again.

At some point, maybe the trans mania will end. Until then, all those children will be brainwashed in those schools.

You’d be surprised by what a single parent can do. Yes, most homeschool families have two married parents, but some homeschool families are led by divorced, widowed, or single parents. I was one for several years. I didn’t use government assistance, and I managed all the bills without any debt. Life wasn’t perfect, and neither was our house, but my kids enjoyed their youth. Another option is private or parochial schools that have scholarships or tuition assistance programs.

Women in this situation should contact their local homeschool association. They will likely find women in similar circumstances who have managed successful homeschooling.
