Homeschooling: Your Views, Please

[Samson]

Worry about your own kids.

All good progressives dont have kids.....They kill them in the womb

Always great to see at least one attempt per day to hijack a tread with an ad hominium to abortion.

Thanks, please don't forget to pick up your prize at the door.

 

[rightwinger]

Worry about your own kids.

As the great Hillary Clinton once said.....it takes a villiage

Yes, I will worry about your kids. If you are beating them, I will worry. If they are starving or in rags, I will worry. If they are being deprived of an education, I will worry

And I will insist that the villiage do something about it

I don't care if a parent can demonstrate their proficiency. But they should have to file a curriculum for the year and their children should have to demonstrate adequate progress.

So move to China if you wish to live in a country where you have to prove yourself to the government every day .

Were you home schooled?

Move to China?

That was the best you could come up with?

Our EVIL Gubmint has required that children be educated for the last hundred years. The days of "my kids don't need no book learn'n" are long gone. Why are you afraid of homeschool kids demonstrating what they have learned? Conservatives insisted that public schools do it

Um no.

As much as I agree with you regarding a stupidly pithy reference to China, there is no centralized "evil government" in the USA requiring that children be educated.

The Fedss either financially support STATE education systems or not depending on the extent they adhere to federal mandates.

Most states are complete whores

The interesting quote from Hilary actually would support Local ( village) control of local education. Furthermore, one could say that her "village" approach clearly contradicts the concept of a larger, federalized system.

Just speaking the truth.

Nope and it took decades to rewrite the lies I was taught in public schools. ... Sad as well because it is even worse for kids today.

Are you aware that both state and federal are Gubmints?

Again you struggle with different levels of government. Local, State, Federal......they are all government. And yes, they are telling you what to do

In the case of education, 90% of control is at the local and state level

 

[Rozman]

It works a hundred times better than union based schools but only if the parents care enough to follow the curriculum.

And you don't have to teach your 4th graders about all the gay stuff...or how to put condoms on or about how to give the best blow jobs.

You can hold off till the seventh grade at least.

What have we learned over the years about the uneducated and the things they do when they finally get out on their own?

Hint: Nothing much other than sitting around trying to think up ways to make easy money.

Aww look at the little Liberal trying to act elitist....Sorry sweetheart but I work for a living.

I don't care if a parent can demonstrate their proficiency. But they should have to file a curriculum for the year and their children should have to demonstrate adequate progress.

And if you knew anything about homeschooling, you would know that is already the case.

The parent is provided the public school test curriculum and the child has to take and pass ALL of the public school tests and requirements.

 

[P@triot]

Liberals don't believe that. I certainly don't. Why shouldn't a parent be required to demonstrate college level proficiency in, for example, high school chemistry, before they get authorization to teach high school chemistry?

Why? Because they do not receive a salary from the tax paying population. They owe you nothing (despite your bizarre belief that they somehow owe you some evidence that they are "qualified" by your standards).

It's so odd how you want people who volunteer their time to be required to display "proficiencies", be subject to "evaluations", and need "authorization", as people who receive a grossly over inflated salary, cadillac healthcare plans, executive-level pensions, and a host of other perks and benefits simply because you can't craft an intelligent argument for your disdain of homeschooling and you're not willing to be honest about it.

The truth is, you're outraged at the idea of less children to indoctrinate. Why can't you just say it?

Hey dog, I see by your sentence structure and grammar that you were home schooled. What by, wolves?

Hey Zeke, I see by your avoidance of the topic that you are unable to dispute the facts that upset you....

I vehemently disagree with you here. That is exactly what Hillary is referring to - the federal government. Like all Dumbocrats, she has to convince the people that nothing can survive (education, healthcare, hell - even life) without the federal government. It's her cash cow and she wants to make sure the money and power keep flowing towards her.

Only if you take the term villiage literally rather than as a symbol of the role society plays

Society has no business playing any role in raising a child. That is the responsibility of the parents (and extended family & friends if so deemed by the parents).

I love how you people all deny you are communists, then turn around and quote the Communist Manifesto almost verbatim. Only in communism does society have a roll in raising children. And that's because communists have a vested interest in indoctrinating/brainwashing the next generation.

A child does not belong to the state - no matter how much you wish they would winger.

Prosperity only comes from liberty, but children taught under government programs such as Common Core may never fully understand this. Government-run education benefits politicians and bureaucrats at the expense of children and parents.

This is why last year Dr. Paul introduced his own homeschool curriculum consisting of a rigorous program of study in economics, mathematics, history and science while also teaching children the benefits of a free society. Through the use of the Internet, students in the program are able to actively engage with each other and to work together on the subject matter. This combined with frequent written assignments allow them to develop excellent communication skills which are essential to many career paths.

Students will also learn the basics of the United States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the free market and how liberty was won in America, how it’s been lost and how it will be restored. The program’s first six years, from kindergarten to fifth grade, are free of charge and there are no textbooks or workbooks to buy. The Ron Paul Curriculum also offers daily lecture videos for each course and the courses are self-taught, meaning that parents won’t have to teach any of it, not even advanced courses such as chemistry or physics.

As of this writing, the courses from sixth grade to 12th grade cost $50 each and the tutorial forums cost $250 per family per year, an outstanding value for an education which rivals the most prestigious private schools. It also should be noted that a high-speed Internet connection is required for the courses.
