Homeschooling Protects Children from Violence and Marxism

The February mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida prompted many parents to consider homeschooling. This is hardly surprising, as the misnamed federal “Gun-Free Schools” law leaves schoolchildren defenseless against mass shooters. Removing one’s children from government schools seems a rational response to school shootings.

School shootings are not the only form of violence causing more parents to consider homeschooling. Many potential homeschooling parents are concerned about the failure of school administrators to effectively protect children from bullying by other students.

Of course many parents choose homeschooling as a means of protecting their children from federal education “reforms” such as Common Core. Other parents are motivated by a desire to protect their children from the cultural Marxism that has infiltrated many schools.

The spread of cultural Marxism has contributed to the dumbing down of public education. Too many government schools are more concerned with promoting political agendas than ensuring that students receive a good education...

Homeschooling Protects Children from Violence and Marxism

Millennials and teenagers are already showing the desocialization effects and break down of human interaction from Facebook/Twitter/Reddit. Now you want them to be even more removed from ordinary social skills that one needs to have in order to say....sit down for a job interview, interact and function within the workplace and even their own families? I don't think so.

The world is not comprised of a kid's parents and their opinions. Learning how to cope with a diversity of people and cultures is tantamount to being successful in life.

Ron Paul's expiration date was a few years ago. He's off his rocker.

Obviously i disagree with your premise 100%. Children can engage in social interaction while being Home-schooled. It's an outdated old wives tale to claim they can't experience social interaction if they're Home-schooled. The Communists have pushed that lie for years. They push it to dissuade parents from seeking education alternatives.

Communists/Democrats got a great scam going. They've created 'Indoctrination Centers' in Government-schooling. It isn't in their best interest to see anything change. So they're gonna continue to vigorously oppose all education alternatives. But hopefully parents will seek alternatives, despite that opposition.

I have no idea where leftists get the idea that homeschooling families never leave their houses or engage in any social activities. I can only assume it's because none of them would ever deign to associate with a known conservative.

Home schoolers I know take their kids out way more.

Has anyone mentioned the Promise Program and what a wonderful bag of tricks schools like Parkland use to portray to the world their exemplar student statistics?

Homeschooling Protects Children from Violence and Marxism

In 62% of families with children, both parents are working, no doubt most because they have to in order to meet the mortgage and keep the car running.
A lot of parents also aren't cut out to teach, or they don't want to be in the role of teacher to their own children. Homeschooling is a really serious commitment and while I've seen it done very well, it is not a decision to be made lightly, if a couple can afford that choice at all.
All this Marxist bullshit is just that--bullshit. Parents certainly have the right to explain to their children the other side of the coin when they get home from school. Most would rather just read Breitbart and complain.

Vouchers help solve the money problem. Home schoolers should get their share of student costs. It also shouldn’t be on parents to have to reteach their kids when they get home. A decent school system would be providing both sides.

I believe both sides do, but if you mean social studies teachers should be teaching that we did Africans a huge service by enslaving them and bringing them here, or that science teachers should be teaching them that God created the Earth in 6 days, then you don't deserve to have a say on what is taught ANYWHERE.

"I oppose what you say because of THIS straw man I have created, which you never said, but LOOK OVER HERE!"

Produce the moment when Missouri, or anyone, said a single word about "teaching that we did Africans a huge service by enslaving them". Now. Right effing now, or apologize for this utterly dishonest and disgusting - not to mention painfully obvious and lame - attempt at deflection and smear.

As far as I'm concerned, you just demonstrated that YOU don't deserve to have a say on what is taught anywhere, and that you know it.

You should be ashamed of yourself, but you've made it blatantly clear that you HAVE no shame. That's something one finds in DECENT people.

Can you show where "the left" opposes homeschooling?

You have GOT to be kidding.

All she needs to do is search this forum

Or take a look at the history of legislation and court cases trying to hinder it.

The cool thing is they’re always learning on those trips. I think it’s better and probably more educational than just sitting in a class room.

I homeschooled my two oldest, and I am currently homeschooling my youngest. My oldest son wouldn't have socialized if you held a gun to his head. He has never cared for the company of other people outside of select groups, and trying to force it would have probably made his resistance worse. Interestingly, he's very well-mannered and charming and good-natured . . . so long as he feels like being there is his choice.

My oldest and youngest, on the other hand, could not have been stopped from socializing, short of chaining them in a closet. My daughter is one of those women who never seems to go anywere, including the bathroom, without at least two of her friends along. Weirds me out, but there you go. My youngest appears to love EVERYONE he encounters, and has been known to start conversations with homeless people at bus stops. At least part of the reason I homeschool him is because it took me so long to get him to internalize the notion of Stranger Danger, and I worried about letting him out of my sight.

What would give you the idea that I am saying one is tantamount to the other... The general point of vouchers is for parents to have the discretion to educate their child where and how they see fit & to have their appropriated tax dollars go toward that end. Home schoolers, like I said fall into a small niche of this general category, while most go to some private school.

I can only surmise that you live in some sort of liberal enclave, a commune perhaps lol... & don't get out much (or at all). The majority of families that choose to homeschool place a premium on the character of their children and instilling a value system in them that is lacking or frankly diametrically in opposition to that said value system, in the schools. It just so happens that by a landslide these parents are conservative and Christian. Hey don't shoot the messenger.

How Homeschoolers Defeated California’s Push to Take Power From Parents

And why might this be... (it's fairly obvious, what do all secular schools have in common.... ? .... ? They are SECULAR )

Homeschoolers emerge as Republican foot soldiers

 

[initforme]

I guess the Marxism hasn't arrived near our public schools yet. Homeschooling is a good choice for those that want it and can make it work. I got one would put my kids through our public schools again if I could do it all over again. 3 of the 4 of my kids are making well into the six figure Mark. And since America stands first and foremost for the dollar...they are doing well.

Every parent should educate as they choose. Taking advice from others is always a losing proposition. I'd I ever sent my kids to a private religious school I would have ensured they were held out of religion class. That's my job and cannot be entrusted to people less Christian than me.

Wehh, what a relief that you are more Christiannnnnnny than others.. That must be a source of pride... O wait, that would be a sin. lol

It's the job of the parent to instill religious values.....not a school's...private religious or public. Sorry you lose this one.

Why not? If you home school you get to pay the taxes but don't get the money provided for a child's education? That doesn't seem right. If you take the job on yourself you should get the money. Isn't the money "for the children"?

Kinda crazy how once we removed religion from schools we have a lot of school shootings.
