School starting age: the evidence | University of Cambridge

School starting age: the evidence | University of Cambridge
The only study I know of ever done to see when the best age to start school is found that children do best if they wait until 11 years old to go away from home and family every day. This only makes sense to me.

God invented the family. He designed us to be born singly (most of the time) and a couple of years apart. Obviously He thinks we need more of that one on one time with our parents than our culture thinks we do.

More and more studies are finding that early education programs do way more harm than good. They stress the kids and burn them out. They do much better if left at home with mommy.

No matter how hard man tries, God's way is better.


HSLDA | Worst-Ever Homeschool Law Proposed in Ohio

Let me get this straight;
A child is abused by his mom's boyfriend while he is enrolled in public school. Police and social workers both investigate repeatedly. The mom pulls the child to homeschool for a few months and he is killed by her boyfriend.

So we pass laws to punish all homeschoolers.

Had the police and social workers done their job in the first place this child would be alive, yet we will treat all homschoolers like criminals.

Let's add to this that there is some evidence that homeschoolers are LESS LIKELY to abuse their children than public schoolers and it becomes apparent this is nothing more than a witch hunt.

If we are going to have equal treatment under the law than ALL parents should be subjected to this "guilty until proven innocent" type of law or none should be.

(Note, after I wrote this, public pressure caused the author of this bill to withdraw it. It is still important, however, to keep aware of any attempts like this to remove our rights. More on the same incident...)

Politician: “Let’s treat all homeschool parents like felony child abusers” | The Matt Walsh Blog

"That makes the sex scandal in public schools many, many, many times more prevalent than the abuse epidemic in the Catholic Church. It’s not even close, actually. The Hofstra researcher who conducted the study had this to say: “The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.” "

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.
