It’s Sunday night and I was struggling, again, with our decision to homeschool our kids. Not anymore.
Just heard my five year old tell her big sister that “I love Sarah Palin” (guess what our Sunday night viewing is...)
Homeschool, and never, never, look back. Government schools are poison. They are nothing more than a jobs program for the left, a welfare program for the middleclass, and re-education camps for the children.
Aw, how sweet that your daughter loves Sarah Palin! Best of luck with the homeschooling - everyone I know who has done it finds that the rewards far outweigh the drawbacks.
I emailed my son’s (homeschool association) debate coach this evening, and observed that a couple of proposed topics for an upcoming tournament involved legalizing marijuana. These are topics submitted by the students.
The coach replied that the more time he spends judging debate tournaments, the more determined he is to continue homeschooling his own children until graduation. Good education (good test scores, scholarships) aside, the students in many schools are swallowing moral poison, and although the debate competitors are being taught to argue effectively, that doesn’t mean they’re actually *reasoning* from reality.
I remember this from the early 80s, when I was a top student in a public high school. My SAT score made college recruiters swoon.
