Homeschooling Is on the Rise Throughout the Country. Education Expert Jill Simonian Says It May Be

So you are basing your informationyou on a movie, a fantasy? You have got to be kidding me.

Your myths is what I deal with when I tell certain people where I am from such as everyone in Texas has an oil well in their backyard or that in Texas we still fight Indians or we ride horses to work, etc. The myths that conservatives try to potray sometimes a person has to scratch their head and say "WTH?"

 

Wrong. We've known many home-schooled kids, because there's a lot of them in certain kids' sports. I've yet to meet one who's so shy they can't function socially. In fact the majority of those we've known have been gregarious and confident, and had no trouble at all in the socially demanding sphere of competitive sport.

 

No it's not.

Indoctrination happens at home all of the time. And it's sad.

 

How are facts determined? Through observation. All you've done is further show why my statement is true.

 

Well. So many views from those who have never worked in an educational environment.
First, there is no conspiracy to influence children in any political or social sense. I have to assume you have school inspectors? It is their job to prevent that.
Second it is clear that some in here are doing precisely what they blame schools for doing...filling their head with one way propaganda.
Third if schools are not allowed to présent objective or conflicting views of an issue then you don't have éducation. If you are afraid of their hearing differen t views you are stunting their intellectual growth.
And finally by squabbling about left and right AGAIN you are allowing some dangerous religious indoctrination to be delivered on a daily basis, unchallenged and supported by the families the children trust.
There may be lesson on flying planes and bomb making and you will never know.
Schools want kids to reach their potential, pass their exams, be socially confident and successful.
Above all, to think for themselves
If that means "not like you" then that is part of parenting. To allow them to access knowledge and to choose.
Geesh.

 

Every person that I have ever know that has been or is being homeschooled would laugh at your statement.

Why in the world do people think that homeschooled children are shut in's that never have a social life?

And why in the world do those on the left hate homeschooling? I can only think of one reason since those that are homeschooled often out perform those that attended public education.

Then perhaps you can explain these...

LINK: Parents suing Wisconsin school district over gender identity policy – The Hill

You think those policies don't influence children in either of those categories?

And schools are not debate classes. They're there to teach facts. Not debate "conflicting views"....Unless a High School has a debate class that is one exception.

 

Sigh
We used to call each orher all kinds of names.
We would make a mâle name out of à given name, try it on with nicknames.
Just chill. Get à sense of humour. Let kids experiment. Talk to them. Talk to the school.
This does not speak to any national conspiracy for heavens saké.
Go do some yoga. Breathe.
I am astonished at the stress levels and defensiveness channelled through your children. They should NEVER be your political mouthpiece. EVER.
And sorry but at the level where these issues are broached, should be old enough to debate.
There are millions of gay people today who suffered deep psychological trauma because kids were told by their parents that queers were wierd. And you want to carry on the tradition.
Kids need to be immersed in alternative thinking and make up their own minds. Not be a mini-you.

 

some parents are afraid of Covid yet... so have chosen to home school

 

The Department of Education has 4,400 employees and a 62 billion dollar budget.

Can they defend the value added nature of that expense?

The education system is broke by government and unions. No surprise parents are pulling their kids out.

 

It sounds like you might be confusing an 'anti-Christian' agenda with a secular agenda...

Some Christians seem to have very thin skin.

 

Value added comes later when students become employees and pay taxes.

 

That wouldn't happen without a federal agency?

 

It happens whenever employment happens.
Dont you think education is à good investment?

 

Those in which big blue cities dominate the political land and federal education funding forces bull **** racist claptrap like CRT and trying convince johnny that he's really Susie but he should tell his parents and vice versa. If a five year has a sex life someone needs to be in jail and it isn't the five year old.

 

spoken like a true in MONEY we trust rightwinger lol BRAVO!

 

The only thing here that you said that could possibly be construed as explaining those links is the bold. The rest is nothing more than propaganda. 1: If parents abuse their kids, such as what you're talking about in the bold then they should be thrown in jail. 2: I've always supported gay rights. So your claim about me is BS.

As for my children....I have a gay child who is quite liberal, and a another that is conservative in his thinking. So why in the world are you projecting?

 

And exactly where in reality does this happen?

 

I wasn't talking about you.
You are not the centre of my thoughts.
Nor is any one example of anything someone wants to advocate.
Just do your own thing and leave the rest of us alone
That is what is called freedom.

 

So you think I was only speaking of Republican WORKERS? Really odd reply

 

Oh FFS stop offering young people the right to expérience the reality of different beliefs.
You are creating a race of borgs.

 

Next time indicate that you're using the royal "you".

And my links were not of "someone" advocating anything. My two links were two examples of two schools actively working against and hiding things from the parents through policies. That is not "advocating". Not in any sense of the word.

And I find the bold hilarious. We're talking about schooling here. Public schools is not a "just do your own thing and leave us alone" thing. Why? Because you are affecting thousands of children. Hundreds of thousands. And those children have parents. ALL of which is affected by what schools are teaching AND doing.

 

I don't think this is a REAL problem. The anti-education kick the righties are on is push back to the FACT that the better educated someone is the more likely they will be a Liberal, Progressive or Democrat. It's hard to just be against education so the righties are manufacturing "stuff" to justify their anti-education push. 20 Years from now we'll, if they are successful, we'll see how they have damaged their children with this cause.

 

The content of your curriculum is the business of the elected government.
Not you.
If schools are hiding things then it is right they are revealed.
I see no reason to augment such issues into some conspiracy theory altitude.

 

The links given in post 107 is not "manufactured".
