Homeschooling is not an experiment, government run schools are and it’s failing

I now want to make t-shirts that say "Opt out of the government school experiment."
I would like to suggest adding the world “public.”
“Opt out of the gov’t public school experiment!”
So it’s clear for the folks in Rio Lindo! Hat tip -> Rush!
I get it, but calling them government schools highlights the fact that parents are entrusting their kids to the same entity that brought them high taxes, endless bureaucracy, and consistent corruption.
Also, I love poking the bear, and gov'ment schools rubs a lot of proponents the wrong way.
Our last daughter was homeschooled and is ready to graduate from a Catholic college. Her 4 siblings were schooled before homeschooling was a thing. Big difference.
please explain in what sense, also where to find resources for HS
this is the best advice on schooling one can give or receive, Thank you, sharing this with my kids...
I have a friend who was a teacher for decades. He regularly complained about the cap on his income. I explained to him how our education system is socialism, so no wonder teachers are limited. He didn't get it. I asked if he realized his paycheck comes from tax dollars, then the government pays his check. He still didn't get it. He is still a brainwashed liberal today.
Yes, a controlled economy lacks natural signals for the price point between supply and demand. Government employees are coercively supplied and not naturally demanded.
Well-put.
The number #1 lesson every kid learns on the 1st day of school, regardless of who is teaching or what is being taught: I am forced to do something against my will for 40 hours a week, for the rest of my life.
A consumer slave is born. Forced education replaces creativity with compliance. It was used in Prussia to brainwash soldiers so they wouldn’t question orders. It’s used now to make a ready supply of factory workers for globalist elites.
The second lesson they teach you, starting at Kindergarten, as far back as the early 2000s is:
What is done/said/taught here does NOT get discussed with your parents. If you have a problem at school, you go to the teacher first. Then your principal.

I am a public education (government schools) teacher. Please homeschool.
Homeschooling is both easier and more effective than you would think. LOTS of resources, it takes far less time to cover more material plus extras (if you want).
Homeschooling worked 100+ years ago for two reasons (or depending how you look at it, two of the biggest problems, rather): we had a sound money system and women were not in the workplace, but at home, educating and raising children as God intended. I also read something about how "public" school teachers at the turn of the 20th century started off primarily as men....not women like you might expect.
What better way to start the subversion of the education world, than to remove men from teaching and other professions (and by extension, turn God's natural order upside down), by manufacturing two World Wars and mass death and destruction on a scale never before seen....
Now, people can barely make ends meet with two household incomes, so govt run education (and expensive daycare) is the only option for 90% of people.
My sons both went to Catholic schools (K-12) but for high school they went to an all boys Catholic school with 95% male teachers. There was a definitely a difference. My sons had a different kind of respect for the male teachers as a posed to the female teachers. Probably because, once being boys themselves, the teachers could relate to the boys better. Not sure, but it worked.
Growing up, I had probably half male/half female K-12, and I'm trying to recall, but I think my most favorite/memorable teachers were male. It wasn't until high school where I actually got a mix of male/female.
Either way, I love the concept of homeschooling and I have faith we'll soon return to that model. My church does church/private school but it's very expensive and 65% of the rest home school.
Sending our kids to private school was definitely a sacrifice. I don’t think we’d be able to do it in this economy.
I feel for those that want to because they know public school is terrible, but can't afford the time or expense. Soon enough, all that will be changing....
I am soooo grateful the people are now seeing this in mass.
First step: Get rid of the Dept. of Edumacation - many people don't realize that this dept. only came into existence in the late 1970s. Before that, schools were left in the hands of local and state governments. We didn't have nationwide policies. The department was supposed to ensure children were educated to the same high standard across the US. All I think of is Reagan's famous quote: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."
Government schooling worked brilliantly in ancient Greece and Enlightenment Era England. The problems arose when Rockefeller corrupted it across the west to be nothing but a mindless worker bee production facility. Shakespeare went to public school. Done right it’s a massive public good for everyone and a great equalizer. Done wrong and…well..,look around.
And "no child left behind" isn't an experiment, it's an attack.
