Home Schooling

Home schooling is a do it yourself kit approach to education and rather a good one. The idea that education is something that governments should provide and control is profoundly socialistic. Education is just an extension of what parents, particularly mothers do in the normal course of events.

Even when people are not well educated they are able to teach their children to understand and speak their own language. This impresses me. A baby starts knowing no language and not knowing that one exists. It is  curiosity and retention that get it started. A mother with whom to interact is hugely important but it  works time after time. When they get to school they might make progress and they might not but they do not get the personal attention of the home.

Of course formal education can work well and then it pays off. At other times it does not. A reality is that it is political and political subversives want to use it to further their agendas. For that reason they are attacking by making fraudulent reports to government agencies that exist to protect children against abuse.

The whole movement seems to be more common in America than England. Farmsteads can be much more remote over there. That is one reason why they have remained freer.

English law has quite a reasonable approach though. Parents have no obligation to tell local education authorities what they are doing or even that they have children.

Some basic points are:-
    It is totally legal
    It works well.
    It involves a lot of commitment.

Getting Started
Is from the Texas Home School Coalition and eminently practical.

 

Home Education - Do It Yourself, Do It Better
Sean Gabb is the leading theoretician of liberty in England. If this sounds off putting press on. It pays off. He writes clear English and tells us about the whole thing. Her Majesty the Queen was educated, not merely taught  at home. It worked for Her and it can work for yours. Her offspring had Gordonstoun inflicted on them. Cold showers are presumed to be character forming. The next generation went to happier places. They might revert to their old way yet.

 

Parents Right; Math Experts Wrong

"Parents Right; Maths Experts Wrong. curriculum mistake made by the so-called education experts who demanded that schools ..."
UNQUOTE
The lunatic fringe is out there and the kiss of death for anything they control. This another argument for home schooling.

 

Special Interest Groups Love Compulsory Schooling
It is not just the history lessons that are tailored to suit the politicians or communist subversives there are the others pushing political correctness and abusing racists - but only if they are white. Then there are the marketing opportunities. It goes on. This article applies to America in particular but England is just as bad.

 

Texas Home School Coalition
Has been going for twenty years now so they should be getting quite good at it. They give practical advice. The guest speaker at their celebration is the Governor of Texas so you have to believe that they are accepted as normal and reasonable.

 

A Visit From Child Protective Services
Malicious allegations to the Child Protective Services in Texas can trigger a visit. There are answers to this. Shooting them is not necessarily  the first option or even always the best. The CPS was incited to visit the Branch Davidians at Waco and found that all was well but later they were attacked by the BATF and dozens of them were murdered. See The Waco Massacre on the point. Child welfare was one excuse used by the FBI. Of course it was fraudulent. They murdered most of the children too. It was much the same with THE RUBY RIDGE MASSACRE.

 

BRAVE NEW SCHOOLS [ 30 September 2006 ]
Home schooling is being made illegal by the European Court of Human Rights. It says that society has an interest in preventing development of dissent. In other words schools are government propaganda machines and we must subject our children to them. The rulers are the enemy, the one importing foreigners to supplant us in our own land.
