Huge Advance In Education!

[PoliticalChic]

I have said that unless we wrest control of education back from the Democrat/Liberal government schools, as earlier Republicans pried their slaves away from them, the nation has no future.

But....I couldn't see any possible way to do this........


BUT......
"Coronavirus has parents looking at homeschooling

With the COVID-19 virus closing schools in China, South Korea, Italy, and the United States, parents are having to make a sudden and unexpected change in their children’s education. Most often, it means shifting education into the home.


This learning at home looks different in different places. In Hong Kong, the government ordered 800,000 students to take what the Wall Street Journal calls “a crash course in digital learning.”

In New York City, parents are already seeking out homeschooling resources that fit their children and their families in preparation for any school closings.

The freedom of parents to choose the kind of education that’s best for each child is something we’ve been advocating for more than 35 years.

Homeschool grads go to college, join the military, launch their own businesses, and start families. They serve in soup kitchens, run for office, fight fires, and give back to their communities in many other ways.

In fact, more than 1.7 million students are homeschooling in the U.S., according to the National Center for Education Statistics.If both parents are working, it is still possible to make homeschooling work through options such as alternating work schedules or one parent working from home. It takes creativity, commitment, and even saying, “No,” to some opportunities. But without the restriction of a traditional school-day schedule, families are able to carve out time together and even flex their homeschool schedule along with variable work schedules (such as healthcare providers or cross-country transport)."

"Parents Worried They'll Have To Raise Their Own Children As Government Schools Shut Down
March 12th, 2020

U.S.—Parents across the nation have expressed their worry, fear, and shock at having to raise their own children now that government schools have temporarily shut down.


Those who send their children to public schools registered their displeasure at the government for not doing its main job of indoctrinating their children, even temporarily.

"Raise, educate, and parent my children?" said one exasperated mother as her teen sat at home, bored and with nothing to do. "But that's the government's job! What am I supposed to do? Teach them things? Instill them with my values? Train them up in the way that they should go?"

"Honestly, if this keeps up, I'm going to move to a different country where I can count on the government to parent my children. This is ridiculous."

Luckily, parents quickly discovered they could just do what they usually do when their kids get home from school and let them lock themselves in their rooms with unfettered access to the internet, a wonderful place where nothing bad ever happens."

Maybe they will see where the schools with their liberal leaders are failing this country.

Well, hopefully they'll look into curriculum that's relevant to academic success. Because if you're reading the wrong books, it doesn't matter where you are, home or a government bulding.

We're a home school family....and we are very happy with this curriculum: K.12.com.

Homeschooling is good for parents who have enough income on 1 salary. Because most Americans need two incomes just to barely barely hang on it's not always feasible. Our public schools here are doing very well. My kids got a top flight education and the schools still do great things. We're a smaller rural school which probably helps. The town just overwhelmingly voted to increase taxes on a referendum.

American students do poorly on international exams, versus other nations.
Taxes are the single greatest bar to accumulating wealth.
How are you judging that "public schools here are doing very well"? Are your children reading books not assigned by the school?

National competitions such as spelling bees and geography quizzes have a disproportionately large number of winners who were home schooled.

"Public education is a socialist monopoly." - The Late Milton Friedman

Nor do parents have to be a one-income family. Some parents cooperate with other neighbors to school their kids jointly. One room with five to ten students from various families still get more attention and less brainwashing by Leftists, such as men dressed in drag reading homosexual stories to them....

To me, today's kids and young adults are more street wise then education wise. I always questioned if Geography and History are important as subjects from my younger days. But they are. To know how others live......have lived.........and died, is important.

 

[initforme]

I judge itbyhow our graduation rates are. A very high percentage go on to college or tech schools. We have very few that hang around or join the military, etc. Reading books is good. Math and science are higher priority.

Geography and history are great, but they do little to pay the bills. 50 grand in America today isn't much of anything.

It is more than sad that your view of education is pretty much identical with that of the peasants in Mao's China.

Here, from a memoir of a girl who grew up there....

"Most peasants did not miss the school. “What’s the point?” they would say. “You pay fees and read for years, and in the end you are still a peasant, earning your food with your sweat. You don’t get a grain of rice more for being able to read books. Why waste time and money? Might as well start earning your work points right away.” The virtual absence of any chance of a better future and the near total immobility for anyone born a peasant took the incentive out of the pursuit of knowledge."
Chang, "Wild Swans."



My view is very different.

What have you got against kids joining the military. Two of my three kids did and so did their spouses. You would be hard pressed to find anyone smarter.

I want to know why you people constantly bitch about liberals running schools, yet they are elected by state and local officials. The federal government doesn't impact your children unless they are poor or special needs. Isn't that your own damned fault?

We've got one who went to Yale on an ROTC scholarship, and was commissioned in Armored Cav the same day he graduated.

Never met anyone smarter.

"I want to know why you people constantly bitch about liberals running schools, yet they are elected by state and local officials."

Here's what you fail to understand:

1. The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities…They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. “…they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism…I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover.” Collier and Horowitz, “Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties,” p. 294-295.
2. “The radicals were not likely to go into business or the conventional practice of the professions. They were part of the chattering class, talkers interested in policy, politics, culture. They went into politics, print and electronic journalism, church bureaucracies, foundation staffs, Hollywood careers, public interest organizations, anywhere attitudes and opinions could be influenced. And they are exerting influence.” Robert H. Bork, “Slouching Toward Gomorrah,” p. 51
3. O'Sullivan's First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don't like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels's Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows. http://old.nationalreview.com/flashback/flashback-jos062603.asp

My youngest went to a college on an ROTC scholarship and is a quartermaster corps officer about to become on logistician when she finishes her next school.

BTW, you are either cavalry (19C) or armor (19A, 19B). 19Cs have be armor officers first. There are units in armored cavalry but officers are either one. My daughter was in a cavalry unit until about a month ago. I work for the Army.
