45. ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

Part 5 of 5

Homeschoolers average 77%. Public schoolers average 50%.

46. PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE BECOMING INDOCTRINATION CENTERS & PRISON CAMPS.

47. YOU EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE FACTS OF LIFE AND MORALS – NOT DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR.

This is now taught in North Carolina:

Warning: Do not open the following article if children are nearby. This article is so gross – it’s hard to believe they will teach this stuff in school, unless you realize that evil is real and organized on planet earth. Do not open it if there are children in the house.

SHOCK – NOT FOR CHILDREN TO SEE: Fox News – Middle School Poster

Parents freaking out as US school teaches that there’s no such thing as “boys” or “girls”. (Don’t try to change the system. It’s beyond help. Leave it).

This article is very good: Is it Education or Indoctrination?

Because people now write books like this:

48. SOME SCHOOLS TEACH CRAZY STUFF, OR AT THE WRONG AGE.

You can’t make this stuff up. Some schools even charge hundreds of dollars when parents ask to see the curriculum! See this article.

49. THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT THEY WANT TO DO IN LIFE

So many people have no idea what the answer to “What do you want to be when you grow up?” should be, because they don’t know what they will be to DO when they achieve that. An example – a lady I know spent 5 years at university learning to be a vet. Then she graduated and spent a year or two working as a vet, and found she hated it. So she went back to university and became a chiropractor. What a waste of time and money! When you homeschool, you can create opportunities so that they can get practical experiences at many different careers.

50. YOU KNOW ABOUT THE 4 BARRIERS TO LEARNING – SO YOU TEACH BETTER

Please see my article, “The Four Barriers to Learning“. This article contains information that hardly any teachers know.

51. THEY CAN LEARN IN A QUIET PLACE

A lady I know had her 17 year old son phone her on his cell phone and say, “Mum, how can I possibly learn – listen to THIS”, and he held his phone up so that she could hear all of the children running around the class room, making a ton of noise. This during a lesson!

52. FOSTERS CREATIVITY AND PROBLEM SOLVING

Whereas school curriculums are mostly just “fill in the blank / choose the correct answer” type learning.

53. YOUR CHILD WILL FEEL MORE LOVED

A friend of mine said how she remembered at 5 years old thinking “I have to be brave now” – knowing she had to leave her mother and go to school. Children should not have to leave their mother until they are emotionally strong and able to take care of themselves.

54. FOSTER A LOVE OF LEARNING

Homeschooled children naturally learn to love learning. Groups schooled children learn to hate it. Therefore, homeschooled children are more likely to keep learning for the rest of their life.

55. YOU CAN DO THIS!

You may feel a little nervous at first, just like a teacher does when they face a class of 30 students. But, you can do it, as long as you can read. All you have to do is follow the curriculums you choose. I cannot more highly recommend that you get Mary Pride’s Complete Guide to Getting Started in Homeschooling, right now, and read it cover to cover. Once you do so, you will absolutely know that you can do it, and what you have to do. Please re-read reasons #1-3 above to remind yourself how important this is.

HOMESCHOOL LAWS, STATE-BY-STATE

These vary enormously from state to state. While you must confirm what the current situation is (such as at the Home School Legal Defense Association www.hslda.org, which I strongly urge you to join, for protection), Mary Pride has an excellent summary of state-by-state homeschool laws in her book (see pic below). It’s easy to understand, with the information divided into columns, under these subjects:

  • Compulsory school age.

  • Legal options (there can be more than one. Make sure you check them all out).

  • Attendance required.

  • Subjects required.

  • Teacher credentials (most states have none).

  • Notice required.

  • Record keeping required (many states have none)

  • Testing required (varies enormously from state to state – many have none).

Why don’t you hear this in the mainstream media?

Follow the money. The average school gets about $10,000 per child per year. The average homeschooler costs only $500 a year. What do they do with all that money, when the buildings are paid for? With 2 million children being homeschooled in the USA, that’s a loss of $20,000,000,000 per year that is not available for lining certain pockets.

Comments Posted by Homeschoolers:

“My wife is an elementary school teacher. She is also a doctor. Our three children have attended everything from public to private to Montessori. All of them were unacceptable. She quit her job and pulled our kids. Homeschooling has been the most important decision we have ever made. It has been a complete transformation for the kids. It saved our kids. And because their days aren’t filled with indoctrination bullshit, all three have skipped grades and excelled way beyond their peers. It has been awesome.”


“Great article – I am a homeschooler. I pulled my kids out when I got “the conversation” at a parent-teacher meeting when the teacher tried to tell me my 1st grader was ADHD. So… here is another one for you:

Public schools try to label your kids with disabilities and give them IEPs (Individualized Education Plans) so that they can get more government funding per child. That is why they push the ADHD drugs and “alternative” classes. Once in those classes they are no longer taught much of anything because their standardized test scores can be excluded from the school’s statistics.

There are so many free online resources available for homeschooled kids today. My kids are excelling in all subjects, but especially science and math… which most public schools really fall down on teaching.

Here is my favorite online math resource:

It is a lifesaver for math, but has other subjects, too, including computer programming intros. My kids are FAR BEYOND what I accomplished in a “college prep” high school when I was a kid (and I had the highest SAT score in my high school).”

“Being someone who was homeschooled, I can now as an adult who has my eyes open to the issues ongoing in this country and around the world tell you that I am very appreciative that I was homeschooled. I may not have been when I was younger, but I am very glad about it now. Also, never got vaccinated once, ever! Healthy as a horse!”
