Also, on The Osbournes last night, Kelly and Jack wer complaining that they don't like going to school and that they are harrased to one degree or another because of who their father is. Ozzy's suggestion... "Do you want homeschooling?"
I am not sure if they go to government or private school, but with Ozzys wealth I would hope he has them in private school.
A good God, what a maroon bump....
Lets make some slight changes...
"For every competent teacher in our classrooms there are 300 who are not."
I wonder how that would have gone over amongst the education elite.
it appears that every state in the US is headed in California's direction.
big govt. is step by step controling more of our lives and not one person in DC (or any state) has the desire or the fortitude to stand up against this beast (govt.)
Their "collective" training.
California education code does not address home-schooling and is considered by the state to be "unauthorized."
It was only authorized by the Supreme Court. Of course, the Marxists don't pay much attention to laws, do they?
"They're going to try to get my R-4 annulled and then try to prosecute me. That's not fair. I've followed the letter of the law and they're bullying us,"
They sure are. Sue them when you win the case, dear. They owe you.
'I'm a tutor without a credential so I'm a private school' then what would be the point in requiring a credential of a tutor?"
Who knows? It was the NEAs idea. (They just want those degrees for teachers so the colleges will remain filled). Most teachers teach because they failed to keep up with their true major. They couldn't make it. (I saw that on a news special), so they become teachers.
"For every competent home-schooler out there, there are 300 who are not, using it for an excuse to keep their kids home,"
And for every competant school teacher out there, there are 300 who are not, using it as an excuse to keep their paycheck.
300? I'd like to know where THIS statistic came from. Another lie, of course. And gee, why would parents want to keep their kids home? Could it be the failing Satanic school system?
You Ca. homeschoolers need to rally by this mothers side. They'll be comming after you next. The schools losing money, and they'll destroy anyone who stands in the way of their dollar signs !!! Besides, the kids need their indoctrination for the socialist world order.
This is a complete load of crap. ALL the statistics show that homeschooled children do better than their public schooled peers. If this woman's statement was true, it would show up in the studies. It doesn't. I would ask this woman for a source but I know she doesn't have one.
The myth that parents homeschool so they can keep their children home (any mother knows that is crazy) is right up there with the "socialization" myth. Both these myths were dashed years ago but continue to be used by opponents who want the money and the control.
The real message of this article is this: Your child belongs to the State.
As that first generation of homeschoolers settles into young adulthood, the criticism against them is proving unfounded. If anything, some experts say, the homeschoolers are proving to be better prepared for adulthood than their traditionally schooled peers.
Ohio Superintendent Requires School Enrollment
Wayne County school superintendent requires family to enroll in public school before they can home school their children.
Texas Court Issues Summons for Withdrawing Child
A judge, without all the facts about home schooling, questions a family's right to withdraw their daughter from public school.
I just finished reading that article. While there were many positive and true parts, there were also quite a few parts that were just plain wrong. I was in the process of searching to see if the article had been posted on FR but I didn't see it. You want to post it?
