ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

I don’t do that...I give’em hell the whole time. My son’s kinder teacher is having Winter Holidays Around the World and when I bucked up about this in an e-mail that the room mother got wind of she said there’s no reason you can’t cover America. I chose to do Delaware Crossing as it occurred on Christmas Day. Had planned to get a set with a boat and place for the kids to do pretend rowing,sound effects,wear a beat up colonial militia costume,bring in dry ice and a live lobster. Printed the famous painting for kids to see and ref...discuss.No effort was spared in my mind to get across to kids the incredible odds and effort of obtaining their country.
Teacher e-mails that I can’t set up beyond the classroom and did not see a correlation with the theme. I then proceeded to lay out the toxic philosophy of multiculturalism. We will see if she responds.Let her know that I believe that Americans DO HAVE A CULTURE!
