Scientific American continues destroying its brand. They could care less about the 79 million school-age children or the 17.3 million kids in high school. To wit:

But children deserve a safe and robust education

Statistic: Percentage of students in grades 9–12 who reported having been in a physical fight in the U.S. in 2019, by location and ethnicity | Statista

I doubt 8% of HSed kids are getting beat up at home.

Government schools need standards that they actually have to live up to.

Get back to us when that happens.

Let the homeschool association set the standard.

The government is the reason so many are homeschooling. Stay out of it.

I have no problem with the homeschool association setting guidelines to help parents know if their child is at grade level in a subject, but keep the government out.

“The federal government must develop basic standards for safety and quality of education in home­school­ing across the country.”

That would be the death knell of homeschooling. The Feds want to bring all schooling (homeschooling and private schools) down to the level of the government schools. The old “I’ve from the federal government and I’m here to help you” should send a shiver up everyone’s spine.

We need to follow our Constitution. The federal government has no right to stick its nose into education. That’s right - the Department of Education has no Constitutional basis and the federal government has no right to regulate home schooling.

Any parent who allows their child to go to a government school is exposing their child to abuse.

too many have suffered horrific abuse

I wondered if they were talking about the abuse in the government schools. There has been plenty of that, starting with indoctrination, all the way up to sexual manipulation and mutilation.

"Home­school­ing is barely tracked or regulated"

Precisely why homeschoolers are far more successful in life than the indoctrinated morons flowing out of government schools...

Thomas Jefferson was home schooled and he wrote the Declaration of Independence at age 26.

Four of my 10 grandchildren are homeschooled. Three of them are in the Civil Air Patrol, learning to fly, and two of them are planning to apply to the Air Force Academy.

My nephew was attacked at school in front of security. He had his jaw broken and missed 6 weeks of school. The kid that started the fight and broke his jaw missed one day of school. The school refused to prosecute him even with a adult eye witness who was there for security.

Then the video that they said they had of the fight was somehow lost.

On the other hand my daughter who we homeschooled started college when she was 17. She now has to bachelor degrees. The two bachelor degrees biochemistry/cell and molecular biology and anthropology.

I did not want her in public school to pick up the bad habits from other students. My two kids were so well behaved that when the IRS did a audit at my house the auditor was shocked and commented how well behaved they were. As compared to the kid who broke my nephews jaw.

Uninformed Standards?

Sorry, but homeschooled kids learn to read and write before they graduate. So they will reject your uniform standards.

The public/private school kids are still a year or more behind thanks to the China flu shut downs.

“Uniform”, meaning some dumb liberals that screwed up public education want a piece of screwing up homeschooling too!

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

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.

But others do not receive a meaningful education—and too many have suffered horrific abuse. The federal government must develop basic standards for safety and quality of education in home­school­ing across the country.

After seeing how the federal government handles public schools and the fruit of their efforts to set standards and keep kids *safe*< thanks but no thanks.

Some children may not be receiving any instruction at all. Most states don’t require home­schooled kids to be assessed on specific topics the way their classroom-based peers are. This practice enables educational neglect that can have long-lasting consequences for a child’s development.

What with the literacy rates public schools are producing, they are in no position to point fingers.
