Thank you, friend. You were not confrontational at all, I wished not to insult you in the slightest, hence the disclaimer before asking for information. Pushing for homeschooling is a difficult task!
We MIGHT be able to do something with this. A lot of us older ones are not terribly happy with state education, but the time thing is the killer since nearly all of us still work. If we can share it out, it is doable. Difficult, yes, but anything really worthwhile is!
I will have a read of the links, contact them and bring it up at our next informal meeting to see what people say.
Most will say yes.
Once more, my thanks for you taking the time to help us out!
It is good that you have others sharing your point of view, since you can cooperate.
State education, though it predates Marx, is still communist in nature, since it is collectivist statist, and it typically defaults to the lowest common denominator.
What you will be doing is forming a school cooperative. This is vastly different from the school collective that the state imposes on everyone, here in the States and everywhere else that it is practiced.
A cooperative is voluntary. A collective is compulsory, or at least coercive. There are many other differences between a cooperative and a collective, but the aforementioned is probably the most important one.
It is a great shame and a testimony against our governments that both husband and wife must work to live decently.
My uncle says, “They are getting the women for free.”
What does he mean by this? Consider. Here in the States, in 1953, the average tax burden, Federal, State, and Municipal, was about 5%. Today it’s 40% or more. The women typically earn about 40% of what the men earn, for whatever reasons (or grievances) you want to cite, that is a fact.
The overwhelming preponderance of the modern tax burden goes to pay for a lot of government programs that became “necessary” at least in part from taking the women out of the home and the many deleterious social effects precipitating from that.
Ergo, my uncle’s reasoning that “they are getting the women for free.”
I don’t know what it will take to unwind from this bondage, but here we are.
