Homeschooling
Is Homeschooling For Everyone?
The truth of the matter is, before any child is sent off to school, daycare, head-start or any of these locations outside of the home, they are homeschooled: Until you put your child in a "head start" program or kindergarten, what had you been doing with them? Many parents of young children will say they [...]
What Will Start the Homeschooling Tidal Wave?
Many of us that believe that homeschooling is the best option for raising children wonder when it will dawn on other Christian believers that sending their children to be indoctrinated by the humanist school system might not be the best choice for their kids. Things like this e-mail from Rachel make you wonder if anyone’s [...]
The Solution to The Public School Problem
Anyone can take a shot at the public school system. They take in tons of money, have multiple layers of bureaucracy, they pass people that cannot read or write, and then they say the solution is more money. It’s the definition of insanity1. Insanity (n): Doing something over and over again expecting a different result [...]
Throwing Money at Education Isn’t Working
Why is it that a stay at home mother who pays $1000 or less for a curriculum’s worth of books, $15 to join an area group for sports, recreation and activities, and spends $100 for a sport and then pays school taxes for services that they can’t take advantage of (instead of getting paid by [...]
So, Who Is Responsible For the Children?
Where our country and our world is going can easily be seen in what is being taught to our children. The Roman Catholic’s knew it. The Marxists knew it. Plato knew it. The Pro-Life movement knows it. What children are taught and who should be doing the teaching is, therefore, a big issue.
The Right To Teach Your Child Your Worldview
Not having enough to do trying to brainwash all the public school children to only believe one worldview, the press believes that it now has the right to dictate to the makers or home school curriculum what worldview they teach as well. Never mind that the article itself states that the textbook writers are giving [...]
Label Yourself!
Whether you’re sending your child off to school or homeschooling like we are, you need to make sure that you identify those things that belong to your little learner. When I was a kid going to school we had to cover all of our school books in brown paper bags, and then we’re color them [...]
Is College Pointless?
I’ve long thought that the fact that “no one fails” in school was something that made the whole thing silly. Failing has a negative connotation, but it also says that a person needs more work in a given area in order to master it. That we have taken the teeth out of grading by continuing [...]
What Did You Miss?
Each of us who are parents have to make many decisions every day, but one of them is critical: who will raise them? I do not believe the current culture that tells us that we have to send our children to day care because we have to have two incomes. And I think it’s a [...]
Is There a Benefit to Equality in Education?
A few weeks ago we talked about Morality in education using as a springboard the whole topic of homosexuality in the public school system. Core to the premise that the school is a proper place to teach right and wrong is the concept that the children belong to the state, not to the parents. What’s [...]
What’s Most Important in Your Child’s Education?
As we start contemplating what curriculum to use for our homeschool adventure we have to address the important question of what the most important thing to teach to our children is. Don’t get me wrong– we want children who can think, who can reason, and who are as smart as they can be. We want [...]
Indoctrination or Teaching?
When I told a coworker some time ago that I was planning on homeschooling my children, her first response was to wonder if I’d let my children experience any other viewpoint than my own. I told her that they’d be able to learn about other things, but from my viewpoint. However, this whole concept seems [...]
Things You Were Not Taught in School
Schools are deviating further from their purpose every year it seems. What started out as an institution to promote the learning of the basics of education has seen itself forced into a pulpit for secular humanism and a place for indoctrination into the latest liberal thoughts and practices.
Know Your Rights
Amber Mangum most recently became a Christian, and like all new Christians, she wanted to learn all she could about Christ. So, what did she do? She read her Bible every spare minute– but was upset when her school wouldn’t allow her to read it during her free time. Mangum said her daughter was reading [...]
Homeschooling and the Internet
For anyone– homeschoolers especially– the Internet is a massive library. Its bookshelves are endless and full—not only with books, but with magazines and research papers. And it’s a library teeming with experts anticipating every need.
