So you were taught by TEACHERS

You really need to see about some medication

Having been a homeschooled mom and a student in a Prussian style school I now know the following:

1) My parents taught me and I taught myself everything I learned during those years.

2)The Prussian style school wasted my life. Those responsible for having developed this system of education and forcing millions upon millions of children into these prisons will stand, and have stood, before God to answer to Him for treating children so cruelly. Although I resent the massive waste of my childhood, I personally have forgiven these people. ( I hope you are not one of them. If so, I forgive you too.)

3)All children are homeschooled. The only thing a Prussian style school is sending home is a curriculum for the parents to follow. This is true even if the parents are immigrants. Immigrant parents have found **someone** in that child's life to mentor him. Once the child has mastered reading and basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division ( which someone in his home or neighborhood has taught him) he essentially educates himself.

4) All the academically successful children I have known have had parents who did ***everything** I did as a homeschooled parent. These parents read to their child from infancy. They taught the child phonics even if they were unaware of doing it. They made sure the child mastered his math facts. They strictly controlled the TV and video games. As a family their were trips to museums and vacations were planned to teach history concepts. At the fist sign of difficulty private tutors were hired.

There are differences between the homeschooled child and the institutionalized child:

-I have never met a fat homeschooled child who has been homeschooled from the beginning.

-The institutionalized child has a LOT less time for play. Maybe that is why they tend to be fat.

It is difficult to respond to personal insult.

I notice that you did not have any comment about the following:

"No nun I have every met would ever aid, abet, vote for, uphold, or give money too, any organization that would promote abortion. (They would literally starve to death first!) But,,,Gee! I know plenty of government teachers aiding, abetting, giving money to, and upholding the NEA!"

This is the truth. Every nun that I know would literally starve to death before they would give money to promote an abortion supporting organization. But,,,there are several MILLION government teachers who do that all the time.

It is TEACHERS who have made, and are today making, the NEA what it is. If we look at the NEA we are looking at the very **soul** of government teachers. ( I wonder if they serve cookies and milk with that?)

I conclude that when a poster responds with personal insult it is because what I have posted it TRUE. The following is true:

” No nun I have every met would ever aid, abet, vote for, uphold, or give money too, any organization that would promote abortion. (They would literally starve to death first!) But,,,Gee! I know plenty of government teachers aiding, abetting, giving money to, and upholding the NEA!”

By the way, I very rarely contact the moderator about personal insult. I think they should remain for all to see! They say a lot about the poster who posted the insult.
