Homeschooling, our local socialist's hate it :))

A report from the Committee for Economic Development in New York says part-day, part-school year preschool costs $4,000-$5,000 per child per year. Every four-year-old has been eligible in Georgia since 1995 for free, voluntary pre-kindergarten.

True double-speak!!!!! Free for only $5000.

In California Rob (Meathead) Reiner is pushing this as a stepping stone to run for office.

It's not enough they have our kids all day long for 20 years. Now they want them as toddlers.

"Prepares them for kindergarten." Idiots. That's what kindergarten is for -- to prepare them for first grade.

The socialists won't stop until they own them from day one.

Yesterday, thanks to your post, I bookmarked the link to the source of this letter, and read it this morning.

While reading about this remarkable woman all I could think of was another woman, probably a decade older, who taught me, all of my brothers, and my sister. She taught seventh and eighth grade, and served as principal of a little four room, grades one through eight, school in far Western Kentucky.

Mrs. Zuanita Phelps (R.I.P.) left an indelible impression on each and every student, and their parents. In those days there was hardly a mention of money. There was none, but the teachers were dedicated and resourceful. I'll give one example. In eighth grade, Mrs. Zuanita made a large print, the size of a shoebox, of the word "ain't". She chose me to go out in the schoolyard and dig a hole large enough to bury a shoe box.

When I returned to the classroom she announced to the class that we were all going out to the schoolyard for a funeral. With much seriousness, she conducted a funeral for "ain't" and had us bury it in the shoe box. She then solemnly announced that "ain't" was dead and buried and that we were not to use it anymore. It worked. I'll never forget that lesson that occurred sometime around 1949.

In Washington, DC, the city council tried to make preschool mandatory for children as young as 2 1/2.

Cooler heads prevailed.

The sooner the child is separated from the parents the easier it will be to turn him over to the state.

That's exactly correct!

The "State is All" crowd does not believe in in the sovereignty of man. They believe that man is the property of the state.

Who are these people? They are communists, fascists, liberals, Democrats, National Education Association, etc. They are all the same. They only believe in power for themselves.

Their prefered way to power is "the children". They want to seize and indoctrinate "the children" to their way of thinking. And they do this through the school system.

This crowd of traitorous scum will always try to take your children. Their goals are; nurseries as part of the school system, transportation of the children to/from schools, school hours effectively from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, year-around school, all meals provided by the school, medical procedures controlled by the school, curriculum controlled by the school (not the local citizens), youth activities controlled by the school.

When you see "school" think "state". Because that's what it is. The state is stealing your children. Parents' role in this sick scheme is merely to produce children, give them to the state, and fork over lots of money so the state can raise them as it sees fit.

If we don't get the state out of the schools soon, we might as well all be part of "The Matrix"

"The Pew Charitable Trust"? Is that a communist front organization? Does anyone know? Who is behind it?

Keep the kids under the control of the NEA at a younger age?

Why didn't I think of that before?

The NEA was trying to get the School District to enforce truancy laws on those parents who are home-schooling.

For those of you with children in public schools, contact the nearest parochial school today and ask if they will work with you make it possible for your child to attend their school. Many are willing to cut deals on tuition and can help you find transportation if you need it to get junior there. It will be worth every dime you have to scrape together years in the future when your child actually knows the basics of thinking and morality.

My three are in a Lutheran school that is fantastic. You have to put forth some extra effort to find these schools, but it's worth it.

What you have just read is nothing but a continuation to make the child a ward of the state.

The Japanese also proved that this EARLY schooling was detrimental to the kids mental health. They were becoming wackos since they were deprived of a normal babyhood and thrust into competetive "learning" situations well before they were able to adapt to it. In short...they needed mommy and daddy not some goofball "Educator"
