If it's good for the goose.... If public schools aren't producing parents capable of choosing their own children's education, should public schools be abolished for doing such a lousy job? Most politicians in this nation send their chidlren to private school while taxing you enough that you can't.

NEAs ideas for education

I never really gave a thought to our school's pep rallies when I was a kid (besides thinking most of them were duds. Now one where a friend of mine dressed up as death was pretty cool....) but as an adult they have bothered me. What exactly is the point? What does that screaming and shouting have to do with anything?How public schools interfer with education.

The schools seem to think they own the childrern.

“And Then They Are All Mine” — The Real Agenda of Some College Professors

I don't know if you will be able to see this sign if you don't have a facebook account. It is a marquee outside a school. It says, "School has begun. Thank you parents. We get them now." In other words, "Thank you for baby sitting while we had our vacation. You can go away now."

Who do you think owns the children?

Let’s say you have your children in a daycare situation and you discover that the provider is failing to do what they said they would, including keeping your children mentally stimulated and physically safe. Children are exposed to bullying, have easy access to toxic substances and are left largely to fend for themselves. They are bored, victimized, afraid, neglected and deteriorating or stagnating by every measure.

What would you do? Would you:
A) Remove your children from the daycare
B) Contact authorities to have the facility’s license revoked
C) Increase the amount of time your children spend at daycare Read the rest

What if You Just Can’t? Advice for those who for whatever reason, just can't pull their children from government schools.

A quote from Abigail Adams, wife to our second president:
“I have always thought it of very great importance that children should, in the early part of life, be unaccustomed to such examples as would tend to corrupt the purity of their words and actions that they may chill with horror at the sound of an oath and blush with indignation at an obscene expression….”
She homeschooled her children, one of which became our sixth president.

Hmmm, notice how many of the arguments in this article about the beginnings of public school sound the same as the ones for universal health care? Since we have gone from 99% literacy to 85% (and that number is fudged to be that high) literacy since the institution of public school, what do you think will happen if we do the same thing to health care?

We are at war. The time has come to fight. The best weapons are to remove every child possible, get involved in politics and PRAY! We can no longer make excuses.

Homeschool is one option.

Feel free to email me or call. i will help all i can.

Private school is another. every parent will be held responsible for what their child is taught and every pastor will be held responsible for what the children in his congregation are taught. Living in this, the free-est country in history, we will have to answer to God for our children being subjected to this. There is no excuse.







Income makes no difference in the scores of homeschoolers except in math. In that one subject homeschoolers who are poor only score as high as private school children (still skunking public school children). All other subjects (English, history, science, the arts, etc.) homeschoolers far outperform traditional-school children from both public and private schools. Race, sex, social status, and parent’s educational level also do not make a difference among homeschoolers like they do among traditional schoolers.

Today's link is for those studying chemistry. Theoreticly, you could use this to memorize the elements. My children love it and beg for me to play it over and over

I have decided to share some of the links I have had for some time.
Today's is the Alliance for the Separation of School & State. These folks believe that the government should have no more to do with education than with religion because they are actually the same thing. I agree. The teaching of children can not be separated from the teaching of religion. Jesus said "He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. (Luke 11:23)" and "The disciple (student) is not above his master (teacher): but every one that is perfect (finished with his education) shall be as his master. (Luke 6:40)" Our public schools, in fact our government is not FOR God, thus, according to Jesus, they are against Him. Teachers in our schools are taught by atheists and then teach our children. Keeping in mind what Jesus said above, how could our children not come out of the schools atheists? This goes a long way in explaining why Bible believing homes are loosing more than 80% of there children to atheism.
Anyway, this is a very informative website.

But How Do You Socialize Your Children?


Christian Children: State Children
“Note: Sometimes strong words are the only words. Softness dilutes the message and covers up the problem, encouraging people to tuck the issue into the far recesses of the mind where conscience never ventures. This is a message for all Christians, but especially for those in leadership positions – those who lay claim to a special call from God to lead others in the paths of righteousness.

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
