Thank You..we got lucky and found a hybrid campus that rents spaces from very large churches for their 2-day campus program. It’s a classical learning school with lots of history, Latin & bible. He will be in 10th grade next year.
We are Blessed

Homeschooling is 1000% better than public schools. No BS courses like transgender automotive history or gay/ lesbian Andorran history studies. Unless you have a weird child who wants to know that. 😋

Just the start ... (I predicted stuff like this)

Schooling without teachers - DEMONSTRATING it can be done successfully on a massive scale ...

Pressure from the massive teacher unions which dont ACTUALLY care about educating children, only their own jobs - they will do everything in their power and use their leftist political allies to sabotage any attempt to have children be learning during this crisis.

Possibly, former “educators” who now are highly paid “consultants” would be at the very bottom. What pathetic losers.

“Homeschooling During the Coronavirus Will Set Back a Generation of Children,”

This is ABSOLUTELY true!!!


Of course; it'll be the PUBLIC school ones that will lag behind!

Plus, naturally curious kids will explore related material on their own.

While I attended the public schools and got by (50 years ago!) I've just realized that after that, I basically homeschooled myself!

Always curious; always asking, "Why?" Always tearing things apart to see how they worked. Always assumed that there was nothing I couldn't learn if I wanted to do so.

Like the older bearded chap in “The Postman”; when Cosner asks him why he’s there; he replies, “I know stuff.”

Anyone involved with “public education” hates home schooling.

If that becomes more popular, where are all those GENIUS TEACHERS going to go for a job?

And union membership will decline...can’t have that.
