The answer isn’t home school but private schooling

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What private school do you know of that could do what homeschooling did for my children? The private schools in our area follow the same lock-step pacing as our government schools.

My children enrolled in college at the ages of 13, 12, and 13. All were finished with Calculus 3 and the required courses by the age of 15. Two completed a B.S. degree in mathematics by the age of 18.

By the way, my now adult children are not geniuses. They aren't any smarter than the children of other Freepers. They merely had the opportunity to learn at their own pace.

As you drive by your local government and private schools, please remember that at least 10 to 20 % of the children would be doing what my kids did if they could homeschool. They would zoom ahead because they would be learning to learn independently for the pure love of it.

That’s one of the classic ignorant comments made about homeschooling, typically from people who are opposed to children escaping government schooling.

I won’t bother to respond otherwise. Educate yourself.

“...I sent my kids to public school...”

Then you did not even follow your own advice. LOL.

As to private schooling, if one has a bunch of children, it is a ridiculously expensive proposition.

Your participation in government schooling acts as encouragement for other Christian parents to do the same. And many of them are NOT diligent about watching what their children are taught. Even if they are, they are still getting a poor education.

The country is wallowing in moral relativism, and children graduate from government schools with about a 90% conversion rate from Christianity to humanism, per the Barna surveys.

When Christians prey their heads out of their backsides, we’ll see things turn around in this country. Otherwise, we’re going to lose. And sooner than many expect.

At the time I did we were in a decent school district and monitored their progress.

[SecAmndmt]

There is no such thing as a decent public school district, in regards to Proverbs 22:6

So you admit that know nothing about homeschooling except the talking points of the enemy?

[Vaquero]

Yeah. I separate religion from 3R education, even though I went to a catholic parochial school for the first ten years of my education.

My kids have a masters in engineering. Bachelors in business and 1 still in college.

We fine tuned their education at home.

[SecAmndmt]

You do, but God does not.

I’ve got two engineering degrees and went to government schools. And yet if I had the choice, my child would never set foot in a government school.

As I said in a previous post, even if your own children survived government schools (it isn’t just the education, but also the maturity in Christ), you have the opportunity to set an example for others, to help build an exodus movement from socialism. Compared to that, your votes in elections are almost meaningless...a bit like demanding the government enforce borders while at the same time (for example) allowing illegal aliens to work for you.

Why bother posting to this thread if you know nothing about homeschooling?
