I refuse to subject my grandbaby to this...

I want to thank all of you out there who are home schooling and keeping your children away from these public indoctrination centers. I believe there are still a few good "public" schools but the number is declining quickly. I'll do everything possible to keep my fifteen month old granddaughter out of public schooling and articles like the following are a big part of the reason why.....

information and moral support for homeschooling:

Thank you!

Thank you!


Hey thanks!

I haven't run across that yet. Sure appreciate it.

Edit: This is certainly a great site, but it has the same problem that nearly ALL home school sites have. There's always a 'Moms' or 'Mothers' section. Not sure why it can't just be a 'parents' section. Does the world just ASSuME that all home school parents are females? Last time I looked my private parts were still in the 'outie' category, and I'm sure there are many other home school 'teachers' who are mammary challenged.

If you home school

they will have a much better chance of paying off the debt they were born into.

But at least they

will know how to think independently and maintain their intelligence.

Great video for alternatives to homeschooling


Watched this today. Private Montessori schools are still great. Not too hip on the charter ones though, still have standardized testing

Homeschooling mom here

I'm SO glad I've decided to homeschool. I just wish that my siblings would decide to homeschool, as well, and find the means to accomplish it. I didn't realize how bad Common Core was until my sister called me and told me that her 6-year-old son is required to do double-digit addition. Required! He's going to be TESTED on it and everything! I hope I can convince her to opt-out of the testing. It's one thing if your child does math for fun. It's another matter entirely if your kindergardener is subject to rigorous testing on boring subjects.


Shoot! My son was doing that at 6, and more

but because he wanted to, not forced by testing fools to do it. He is being permitted to learn it at his own pace, and is doing quite well, even by Common Core standards. What would worry me more is if he were forced to learn the revisionist history likely to be taught..... But then, he is gifted in Math. I by no means endorse Common Core, the way they teach Math is horrendous, as evidenced by a post not too long ago made.

(BTW, appreciated the Thomas Paine quotes...)

Honestly as bad as common

Honestly as bad as common core is it's not what prompted me to feel this way and it wasn't the "militarization" of public schooling either. My opposition to public schooling came years ago from reading hundreds of stories like the one posted earlier about the black students attending Washington and Lee University who want Lee's name dropped from the school. They don't know the history behind the "civil" war and I would wager they also don't know anything of the federal reserve, the Gulf of Tonkin, etc.
