I home schooled. Best decision I ever made. Just wish I had started it sooner. He turned out good. He didn't listen to the BS his teachers were pushing

BTW, he graduated at 16 with honors and went straight to work and is learning to be a tradesman

I wish I would have known then what I know now. Last night my daughter and I found something very disturbing. There was a guy who always wanted to be friends with her. She wasn't interested. She recently found strange postings on his social media. I asked to see his photos. I saw one where he looked normal and one where he's wearing a mask and his eyes looked like an MKUltra victim. Then she looked at her HS yearbook at the same guy but it clearly was not him. There was a totally different child in the book with this kid's name. Why would they do this? It was so obvious that the two kids were different.
We both realized what this might mean. The schools know about the trafficking???? They are involved in it???? We also had a situation where she felt like an art teacher was stalking her. I did research on the guy. He created artwork that looked like animals that were mixed with humans and his wife was a lot younger than him. Schools are no longer safe.
Homeschool for sure.

I have thought the same thing! I realized some crazy things in my fighting with the SB this year!

We didn't homeschool our 3 oldest, but we did not see the world as we now do too, and our youngest will be homeschooled 100%.

I always said....being a stubborn redhead....that If I were ever able to have a child...I'd never ever homeschool. Visions of dropping my child off at school and getting all the things done at home...all the errands...then picking my child up at school...all danced in my head. Then God chuckled and said...oh...but you are going to be extra blessed with a special needs child. I fought it hard....I stayed at that school and had my own desk next to hers to help her transition from subject to problem to recess to lunch...all day I'd stay by her side. One day I said...Okay God...you win. In the middle of 4th grade after stacks and stacks of homework that she melted down to try to get through...every. single. night. We pulled her from mainstream school. We spent 2 maybe 3 hours a day on school...in our jammies if needed. No homework. Still the occasional meltdown...but it was glorious. 8 years later we graduated her...at home. It was Awesome! Never tell God you won't do something! 😉

I am a teacher in Wyoming and my sister and I have thought about starting our own home schooling for children. We in Wyoming dont indoctrinate kids like they do elsewhere, at least where I work. However, I am tired of all the political bs that keeps coming at teachers. We cant even teach anymore, we are inundated with so much crap from politicians who have never even stepped a foot in a classroom. I love my students but I think they are being robbed of a good education because of all the crap testing and "new" ways to teach.

make sure you get that home schooling insurance ❣️ all the homeschoolers i know of have it ... auto attorney protection from the feds just one phone call away (never answer the door pick up the phone)

You know Nana agrees, but there are issues for some.

Key word there is "We" single parents can not quit work to stay home with kids and some families dont make enough between the two of them to do better than week to week day to day.

The other issue to solve is:
There are PLENTY of parents that are not capable of homeschooling. Not to say that is not their own fault, (well in some cases it really isnt even their own fault), but the kids should not have to suffer the short comings of the parents.

Plenty of things here to solve because the current system is
ZERO effective and HORRIBLE for our children.

Agree Nana .Even in the rich countries a lot of people are not capable to do so because of a money problem or people with psych (more and more, wonder why ???) . disease, illiteracy, or others problems..... That where we have to start : build some communauties and help each others.

Parents can form homeschooling co-ops too in neighborhoods,where parents can share the teaching responsibilities, share homes, things like that. Time to think outside the box. Charter schools are another viable option. 😇

Do you know who runs most of the Charter Schools? Fetah Gulen. I think I spelled his name right. Research that. You will open up a huge rabbit hole. Ask yourself why we brought these schools into the USA and find out why American Taxpayers are subsidizing a Billionnaire's Charter Schools and the guy is from Turkey. Research where he lives. Our country needs a miracle.

You know Doq, there are thousands of teachers who have been fighting behind "enemy" lines for decades. Who teach children how to think and not what to think. Who teach to honor our country, flag, and all of the military personel (past and present) who have fought for our freedoms, country and God. But, more importany to question everything and find truth themselves. We hold the line, by ourselves, fighting both ends, why? Because children are worth it. Just that simple. Never throw out the baby with the bath water. If this country can be infiltrated from within, then public education can be changed (for the better) from within.

I am sure there are and we are grateful to those teachers . However in the current environment it may be safer and better to Homeschool your kids.
Perhaps we can find a way to renew schooling in smaller more local environments that suits the needs of parents and what they believe their children should learn and parents can be more hands on , as opposed to a system based on Federal and Corporate $$$ and influenced by their needs and propaganda.
We need people to envision options and possibilties in their fields so we can continue to move forward .
