I have 2 virtual home schooled grandchildren The eldest who was a high schooler had to fight to catch up to the curriculum. She has become someone who reads everything.. The youngest is in the first grade. When she gets together with kids in her age group they would follow her in battle. She is charismatic.

I agree about the Marxism and the hatred of Jesus in public schools, but that’s not the main problem.

The main problem is the disorder, the Lord of the Flies social order, and the resultant sexualization as a control tool by the staff.

A public high school is like a prison without corrections officers. The inmates have informal social organizations, just like in prison, which the wardens must tolerate to keep the peace.

This is why the French hung their elites when the time came.

You must have seen Withrow HS in 1965 where I attended. The thugs were about the same size as adult prison inmates but with less self restraint.

Harvard: CCP SPY students, funded by the CCP, Anti American liberal, communist, socialist, fascist, Marxist,progressive indoctrination factories, leaving American families and American students in debt with a degree that’s as worthless as the NYT. I think this is a risk we all are willing to take moving forward

For the past 5-10 years, every time they announced a spelling bee competition, the winner was home schooled. What a Surprise! Not.

...surveys of homeschoolers show that a majority of such families (by some estimates, up to 90 percent) are driven by conservative Christian beliefs...

If these folks held JEWISH beliefs; the uproar of NAZI!!! would be heard across the land!

But Bartholet believes that if parents want permission to opt out of schools, the burden of proving that their case is justified should fall on parents.


I think that the burden is on HER to prove that we should continue to FEED her!

Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority.
It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions.
There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern.

—Daniel Webster
