ARTH ping!
More winning.
One important result of the stupid COVID lockdowns is that they convinced many people that attending school simply isn’t very important after all.
Some people think that getting a piece of paper is more valuable then getting a true education.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
I suspect there were some things the left never expected to happen because of their tyrannical lock policies and this was one of them.
The end result will be that there will be fewer kids for them to indoctrinate and infect against normal Christian values. The more kids who can be saved this way, by not attending the public so-called schools, the better.
Other side of this...maybe we should ask...if they aren’t at school, where are they and what are they doing?
we just need to pay the teachers more money and give them more time off..../s/
Public schools are paid on a per pupil basis. The number of teachers hired is dictated by enrollment. The million missing ,kids are like fake voters. They never existed. The rolls were padded.
Government schools are just democrat party indoctrination centers.
The online Kahn Academy teaches far more than any public school.
Immigration is job security for public school/government conglomerates. Home school or home school pods or private schools are the way to go. Public schools , for the most part, are garbage.
The country should make a focused effort to end government schools and any sort of teachers union.
School choice is a better idea.
Home schooling is the best idea.
One of the big “selling points” of public schools has been the importance of “socialization” when kids gets together. Well, anyone who has been paying attention understands that one of the worst aspects of public schools is the socialization. It’s all indoctrination and bullying and violence.
Yep. This is our Department of Education’s way of controlling public education. They get the schools hooked on easy Fed Money and then threaten them they’ll take if away if they don’t comply with essentially illegal Federal mandates.
Sometimes I think they learned it from drug dealers. Free samples to kids to get them hooked on drugs they’ll eventually end up doing anything for....
What does ‘consistently attend’ mean? Does this statistic cover all grades?
The City States suffer from loss of students, not America
Good! Now abolish the public indoctrination centers!!
Admins in Fairfax County are responding to low test scores by going absolutely control-freak. Teachers have to write out their lesson plans, including what practically amounts to scripting their lessons. Gone are the days when you can say 11:10- 11:25 Chapter 4 pages 37-41; Nope! You have to script out all your interactions. Do you have any idea how much time that takes? So all the teachers are quitting (also because students are now allowed to sexually assault and beat teachers unconscious).
So they’re combining classes because they are HUNDREDS of teachers short. So there’s still MORE work.
School and education is acting white. It is not cool.
Again, it’s past time for America to dissolve our govt indoctrination centers and let individual communities dictate what is taught and who teaches it. Teacher’s unions have got to go.
The pandemic spurred many parents to try homeschooling. It’s booming now so they must have like it.
