Where your idea breaks down for me, is the realization that there truly are people out there who are unable to home school. I would like to have some form of education for their kids that could still provide a wholesome learning environment.

One idea that might work would be to form a cooperative where parents that didn’t work could take over a teaching position and use the home school materials to teach from.

I am convinced this type of cooperative could work. Volunteer parents would receive little or no pay. The unions would instantly be put out of business and the DoE would be done.

Teaching plans would eminate from a wholesome source instead of UNESCO as they opten do today agenda wise.

I believe that every child in this nation could have a private education for free. Hey! Harvard has a $35 Billion dollar endowment! Americans could do the same for private foundations that could provide private vouchers to private schools.

We are a wealthy nation. Every child could have access to a private voucher to a private Christian school. Christians could do this if they wanted.

Also...I completely agree with you. We should give up the idea of brick and mortar schools. With today's technology we can have excellent ( and wholesome) curriculum available inexpensively to all who wanted it.

We should be thinking in terms of homeschools, "micro-schools", or even "one room school houses" that would meet in buildings like the Elks or Lions Clubs or in the basements of small churches.

You are correct about volunteers. Honestly, aren't the children of a congregation THE MOST IMPORTANT mission field of any member??? I would hope so! More retired people should see teaching as a very important way to spread the gospel.
