Do you support the freedom to home school children. Yes or No and why?
Posted on March 5th, 2010 by admin
I am a homeschooling parent. My child has always been home schooled.Her SAT scores are far above any public school child of her age.She is now a teen and in the 9th grade already on a college level term.
Every State requires the Child to have testing done , every year .Some allow a child and their parent or teacher to submit a Portfolio, with all their work and tests and curriculum’s to a professional teacher who is appointed by the State to over see that portfolio and to make sure the child is doing what the State requires .
The SAT tests are performed and done by someone other than the parent and is submitted to the testing facility for scoring and then the results are given to the parent/teacher to take to their States Board of Education for proof of child’s education and its results.
people claim home schooled children are not sociable.That is not true, my child has friends and they participate in what they desire.But for my child she rather not interact with allot of people cause of their behavior.She is already superior in selection and maturity to her actions and their results and consequences. Unlike most public school children who are by that system taught its ok as long as it feels good.And that is where we have a problem with Public schools .It is not student friendly nor is it about a child’s education, but a child being molded to believe whatever that system requires .
My child has options and is allowed to receive Both sides of the story as it were to make up their own mind to what is correct and what is not based on facts and evidence and Historical data.Not what someone says and that’s what you have to do or like or obey without being given BOTH sides of the matter .
Science for example , in public schools demands everything the scientist and the government agenda says must be true and taught as facts without evidence and without question and or debate.
Home schooling allows every one to give their child Both sides of the matter and the facts and evidence to conclude by common sense and value what is True and what is not .
That’s why statistics show home schooled children demonstrate a higher learning ability and have a higher employment value and actual employment is higher than public school system attendees.
Even colleges have learned that children who are allowed to take classes on line at home and to direct their own paths to gain the knowledge and required classes to their curriculum learn faster and at a higher rate then those who are at school participants . The college life is now about the party and the fun and the if it feels good agenda , again , rather than the students learning and becoming higher trained citizens and with the skill set to produce the industrial minded technology of the 21st Century .That’s why public schools are now scrambling to gain more access to the online and home studies agenda !!
Here in my state they are trying to pass laws to raise the age of being able to drop out of school , cause the levels of public school drop outs have tripled.And also in one entire county they got rid of the administrator and replaced them and have taken the schools over and out of the hands of the School board. Also i read in another state where in one school this year is the last year for every teacher in it , and they all are going to be replaced cause of the failure of education in that school.
NOt sure where it was ,it was a story online a few weeks ago .
SO with all that said….its plain to see how the Private and especially the Home schooling, is the best way to go for any child if its possible for the parent to do so .
And parents it doesn’t have to be a trained teacher with some big degree or someone like public schools who are about getting paid not teaching kids.It takes common sense to be a teacher not a degree of years of study to draw a paycheck, and call yourselves any better then any parent who loves their kids
Anyone you know who has the time and the ability to read and count can teach your child everything they need to know and far above any public school teacher with simple basic skills and the desire to do so . All it takes is TLC and the simple cheap home schooling curriculum’s that are online, at your local Board of education or one like the school of tomorrow, or any accredited school curriculum providers !!
