Well I make a practice of sending my entire curriculum to any interested parents.

A few have used it for themselves to homeschool. So you’ll know all my lesson plans throughout the year. no surprises.

Personally, I graduated from a liberal indoctrination factory. I would say the best way is to sit down with the teacher and ask them. I try to be open to the parents so that they can come in and talk to me if there is time, but it can be hard to schedule with the parents being busy.

The trick, as I see it, is to multiply a person such as yourself by about half a million. Homeschoolers are excellent at setting up teaching co-ops and networking with each other. Is there anything like that on the professional teacher side of things?

If there is, I’m unaware of it. I’m kinda ‘special’. I wouldn’t recommend any of my peers that I graduated with (remember, liberal indoctrination factory), etc.

Like I said, as the parent have a sit down and talk with the teacher.

I do know a few other conservative teachers, but there are not many of us in liberal arts.

A rich educational environment — that’s a good one.

Anything a school offers can be duplicated by home schoolers.

At this growth rate, the number of homeschoolers could reach 15% of the school-age population in 15 years. Together with the number of children in private schools, this would represent 25% of all children.

This is a very positive development for our culture.

—— Charter schools, religious schools and home schooling is cutting into them so much that they are actually running commercials on TV here to get you to send your children to public school. ——

I’ve seen ads for “public school homeschooling.” It appears to be a national campaign. Not sure what it’s about, or who’s running it, but it looks like they’re running scared.

—— I believe home schooling is outlawed in Germany right now...so it’s been done. -——

Germany invented compulsory government schooling in the 1800s, and look what it gave the world. Citizens obedient to the State.

-— The very short time anyone homeschools is nothing but a fleeting moment. You will NEVER EVER regret the time spent with your kids. I am here to pound that into anyone’s head who is trying to decide what to do.——

Yes!

Our oldest will graduate in a few weeks. Never set foot in a school.

Sadly, our youngest, who is mildly autistic/ocd, went to PS this year, over my vehement objections. The teachers in the extended family hounded my wife for years, telling my wife that our daughter could get special help in school.

Needless to say, its been a disaster. She is now very distant from us, and the schools did nothing for her, except put her in the dumb class. They did write up a very nice plan for her though. My wife fell for it, hook, line and sinker.

We were only four years away from getting her through. Thanks to the people who can’t mind their own business.

The left WILL come after homeschoolers/homeschooling, because it is a serious threat to their agenda to have a group of kids who are not indoctrinated to love the state.

And, homeschoolers are 14 times more likely to be politically active than the normative average.

So, they WILL come after you, or your kids & grandkids. Keep these organizations strong in order to protect future generations.

You don’t want them “normal”, because “normal” = worldly = Satanic in worldview.

That day is close. People that don’t agree with homeschooling already use CPS like a weapon and once Common Core is fully implemented private and homeschools nationwide will be required to follow it. With the targeting of conservative and Christian groups from the IRS and others, the assertion that kids belong to the state, ect. can your scenario be far behind?
