Homeschool ping
Cute pictures at the source. Of course mine are cuter!
Homeschooling also keeps your kids away from homosexual recruiters and child molesting “teachers”.
Indeed. I was going to say something about that myself.
Try 20 brand new airmen from across the US and territories, and get back to me.
At least kids can't buy beer (legally).

Hello; Our eyes are being opened, even as a nation our eyes are opening!
When we look at our national history, our publc schools, Universities and colleges were founded for the purpose of raising a Godly people and a godly nation.
We have little of this today, in fact most in our educational system are enemies of Godly parents and Godly children.
The down side is the reflex to make everything "It's a lesson, 'who can tell me the steps of CPR?' when passing an accident site". (ABC-W is the correct answer)
Or when you pop off something in Latin to one of the grandkids, and he pops off something back in Cambodian, and your youngest has to sort out that we've changed appropriate languages for ages 1-6.
New fangled stuff...

The socialization learned in a typical government socialist-entitlement school is **prison-gang** survival skills. Thankfully, most humans are adaptable and most adults do eventually discard these pathological school social habits and adopt the healthy attitudes and behaviors needed for success in business, the community, and family. It is sad, some don't, and they don't do as well.
She worries, too, about eventual teenage rebellion in families that are so enmeshed.
Personally, with all the homeschooling families that I have known, I have never seen "teenage rebellion". It's been quite the opposite. I see well mannered teens who look me straight in the eye and can actually speak standard English in full paragraphs. ( Unlike far too many government schooled kids who have the 20 degree off-centered stare and respond with grunts.) Also, studies show that adult homeschoolers are more likely to be married, employed, vote, and volunteer in the community. Welfare among homeschooled adults is so small it can't be measured.
Indeed.
Gotta run... be back tomorrow.
“Teenage rebellion” didn’t exist until the Marxists created the tension-—by the 60’s through the indoctrination in the schools—the Kinsey/Hefner godless push in the 50’s to destroy traditions and morals which resulted in the 60’s revolution.
Every group is against every other group——men/women/children (Communist feminist Friedan) Christianity v. Atheism (homosexuality—communist harry hays) .
ACLU—communist founded to destroy Just Law and create “special rights” which deteriorates into unrest. To create racism and class warfare—create an underclass with welfare—which destroys children’s IQ and achievement.
Moral Relativism took God out of schools and put godless Frank values in—to destroy Virtue—necessary in all free societies. (Dewey-Fabian Socialist).
The statement above seems to imply that if we could just go back to a time when there was the perfunctory prayer in the morning that somehow socialist-entitlement government schooling could be fixed. It can't because government socialist-entitlment schooling was flawed from the beginning and it was inevitable that it ended up as it is now.
At their very best, modern government schools began ( mid-1800s to early 1900s) with a lukewarm and generic Protestantism. What does Christ do with the lukewarm? He spits them out of His mouth! What do children risk by attending schools with lukewarm and generic religion? Answer: They risk learning to be comfortable with being lukewarm and generic about religion.
By my grandmother's day, ( born 1894), the government schools were godlessly secular in their worldview with a nod to God in the morning. Do you think God might have been offended? Children who attend these schools risk learning to merely nod to God on occasion.
Today,....Government schools are utterly godless. Just to cooperate in the classroom the child must think and reason godlessly. How could it be otherwise? How can this be religiously neutral? ( It isn't!)

whenever anybody asks me where my kids go to school, i say we've chosen an alternative lifestyle... alternative education... we homeschool...
The One-Room Schoolhouse was that. Kids moved up by merit and spent as much or more time working with their parents as their teacher. My hope is that homeschoolers will lead the way back to individual liberty. Much as these granola-munching Seattlelites probably wouldn’t agree with your average FReeper on most political issues we can all agree on individual liberty. Leave me and mine alone.
You’re wrong. Young adult rebellion has long existed, but was difficult to practice given social, political and economic norms (think of the story of the Prodigal Son). What’s changed in our modern day is the ability of teen angst to be so thoroughly destructive. For that you simply need to eliminate any distinction between wrong and right. School children in one study were hard pressed to determine what was and wasn’t moral or ethical across a variety of fairly straight forward issues.
The cause: radical homosexual and sexual activists who’ve been working on our kids through government schooling for over a century. Once you learn how not to judge you cannot judge. It’s all good.
The purpose and intent of government schools was to break the natural bonds between parent and child. They first came for the Catholics and eventually got to everyone else.
