I'm in my 50s, and I remember starting the school day with pledge to the flag and general prayer to God. The room adorned with presidents and positive academics. As I raised my kids I seen those things deteriorate.
Yes they don't allow it. They stopped teaching our nations lawful history the treaty of paris 1776 and many important years. They brainwash people with media ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-szxqgXwz5yE.html
So thankful for homeschooling and simple liberties like teaching my children The Pledge of Allegiance! So sad to think how quickly the education system has deteriorated.
As for a place to start, I suggest looking for homeschooling organizations in your area or state for resources. When I began, I knew nothing about homeschooling, and knew no one who did it. It really helps to find like-minded people to talk to and do things with. Otherwise it's really lonely.
My sister home schooled both of her kids, but sent them to public school only for their senior years so that they could get that "diploma." That year in public school was a complete waste of time for both her kids as they were sooooooo far ahead of all the other kids. I didn't home school my daughter, but thankfully she's home-schooling my grandkids.
Thank you so much! A lot of people are prejudiced against homeschooling bc they think the kids being homeschooled are isolated at home without any social interaction. But all the kids I've known who have been homeschooled also participated in activities outside the home, like 4H, sports, music et al. Plus it was a cooperative, where the kids would go to another location to learn science or math for example. And some parents bartered, with one parent or even a child teaching piano, in exchange for another parent or child teaching something else.
If you don't want your children taught Socialism you must homeschool your children. 1958 I was taught in 3rd grade in PA l didn't belong to my parents. I was to obey my teacher only since my education was being taught by the State. So when we moved to IL, I packed my suitcase and told my parents to take me to jail or teach me. Homeschooling until l could get I to a private school. I sit up my library and now teaching a foster granddaughter 7th grade so her mother can work. She is blossoming so beautiful since I have started. Thanks for your encouragement.
How can one teach American History or Economics without teaching socialism? If student isn't taught what capitalism, socialism and communism they won't realize that Social Security and Unemployment Insurance and financing of roads and highways are based on socialist policies and not capitalist policies. They also want realize that for decades the Chinese Communist Party has embraced capitalistic markets to grow China's economy.
@@intoalivinghope When looking for inspiration, I go onto RU-vid and find the 1980 recording of Itzahk Perlman performing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the Phila Orch (my home town). It serves to inspire me, as I practice at least an hour/day on one (or more) of my 10 trumpets and seek to get the max out of each session. I am also writing a series of Telemannesque Etudes that I use to make myself even better. BTW... there is nothing like playing an instrument and developing a significant level of accomplishment. There are also excellent trumpet players out there, such as Sergei Nakariakov, Alison Balsom, Maurice Andre, and Hakan Hardenberger, to name a few.
@Bert Hubnip lol, I have friends who have no choice because they live in a socialist country where self care is necessary. Thankfully I can hire a good dds. Teaching children the way to adulthood is much more time consuming and rewarding, but what responsible adults have been doing for Millennium.
@@OkTxSheepLady Ah, so you don’t do those jobs yourself? I wonder why you think you’re any more capable to educate a child than you are capable to do your own plumbing work. The dumbest people never know how dumb they are, and then they make their kid just as dumb
Bert Hubnip lol because the ones I’ve educated are very successful as adults. A PhD in physics, a business owner, retired Air Force, etc., proof as they say is in the pudding. Sorry you don’t feel capable yourself but don’t project onto others. And just about anyone can do plumbing, even I.
@@guitar-jo Dude, you can’t seriously expect someone to believe you when you so blatantly over-exaggerate. I hope you don’t pass on whatever esteem issues lead you to write nonsense like this
Really like Leigh and very much appreciate her sharing her views. And Jan, as always, asks the kinds of questions that require exploration beyond the surface. As a side note, personally, I would like to see government eradicated from the task of educating its citizens!
I know many wonderful families who did Classical Conversations and their children received an excellent education, were well adjusted. There are also classical charter schools in many states (no tuition). Not the same as CC, but another option for parents.
Fantastic video. I am 74 years old. I am a Christian, and would love to get involved with classical education. When I went to school, I had what I consider an adequate education because I had devised that being a secretary was how I would support myself through life. I took bookkeeping, two years of shorthand, two years of typing, one year of journalism, and one year of office practice. From my first secretarial job at age 18, through age 52, I worked as a secretary in many different areas: brokerage house, manufacturing color televisions, manufacturing furniture, insurance company, public defender's office. The last 16 years I worked in IT: teaching software, working in a solution center, fixing electronic documents. I am good at teaching, and I am very patient in teaching.
Thank you Leigh for the difference you and your organization have made in our family's life! Classical Conversations has helped my children become strong public speakers (through the weekly Foundations presentations starting in Kindergarten) and good writers (IEW in Essentials). It has been a fun and fruitful journey!
My girls three of them who are home-schooled by my wife there are three years ahead of the public school system. And that's the top students in the public school system.
From a fellow homeschool parent. My sons are grown men now, one 3 to grandson. Just remember that public school is not the measurement that shows your success. You are winning educating your children, obviously, congratulations.
This was such a beautiful conversation. I felt like I was in the room with these two, the chemistry was amazing. Thank you so much to American Thought Leaders/Epoch Times, as well as the amazing Jan Jekielek, this is incredible content. It makes CNN feel like a tragic comedy that stopped being funny a long time ago. Much love from California ❤️
I AM ALL IN FOR HOME SCHOOLING . . . OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM ''FAILED THE AMERICAN CHILDREN '' ... WE NEED TO RETURN TO SOLID BIBLICAL AND CLASSICAL EDUCATION LIKE WE HAD WHEN I WAS GROWING UP AND I'M 60 ITS SEVERED ME WELL . . . TO THINK AND TO STUDY AND READ HISTORY ALL THE CLASSIC ...
Our 2nd year in CC & we love it!!! I was shocked at how much I never learned in public school, memorizing my times table for the first time in my 30s alongside my kids 😆
US students have lost the desire to learn, mainly due to the fact that currently almost everything is done for them. They don't see the value in an education. The only way to correct this situation is to create within them a desire to learn. I'm not smart enough to tell you how to do that, but that's the only thing that will work!
david hofferbert put the student into real life situations, growing a garden, taking care of livestock even if it’s a flock of chickens, building real things.
Art is very important and music. I have used it all my life. Reading music helped me to . Creativity helps us grow. Wonderful concepts in your preview. ie keep in mind they use music to control behaviors, I don't know what virtual teaching consists of in its entirety on station's
Time well spent! I enjoyed listening to this interview and agreed with so much of what she had to say about the fundamentals of education. Our schools have created so many of the social problems we see occurring in the western world; they're nothing but programming institutions.
Thank you, @American Thought Leaders, and Ms. Leigh Bortins for this interview! I learned a lot and had a few questions answered. Still a lot of things for me to learn about this. I've always been self driven and learning, so I've never had to break this down and explain it to someone else. Sometimes we need others to help us see what we already know.
I know a home a home schooled family. I visited with one of their boys....sharpest young man I have ever met!! This was in the early 2000’s. Very musical, and very smart!!
Why would parents, after doing the hard yards of toilet training, teaching their children to talk, walk, eat, count, read, wash etc. etc., hand them over to school teachers to build whatever they like on the foundation that the parents have laid? I didn't. I am 84 and I have seen my children homeschooling their children and so on into the next generation as well. As I write this I can see a plaque that I have had on the wall for fifty years; it says "It is better to build children than to repair adults". There is a cost, of course. A responsible parent doesn't have a job that yields millions; nor are millions necessary. I earned enough to keep our family and provide what it needed. The whole experience was very enriching for everyone. My wife and I learned as much as our children did. But be warned! It only works if both parents are committed to the job.
I enjoyed the interview with Ms. Bortin. In response to persons of civilizations in the past about flying planes and dealing with Covid: They had to live with far more risks than Covid. Way worse: plague [pneumonic & bubonic], scarlet fever, tetanus, a broken bone. They were also more self-reliant with regard to working the land and surviving catastrophes and wars. Yet the most beautiful architecture, paintings, stories, sonnets, engineering and math, - the 'logos', pathos and ethos and the enlightenment philosophies were achieved: So much thought and creativity and imagination put into these areas, these art and ideas without all the modern conveniences yet in the face of all these hardships that make Covid a walk in the park. Life was meaningful. Today so many are paralyzed with fear due to dangerous propaganda / misinformation regarding 'Covid'. Anyone who foregoes a classical education as well as knowledge in American/European/Classical & Ancient history lack the necessary perspective to assess and navigate this post-modern age. And that is dangerous.
I have to disagree with her on one point: I don't believe for a moment that there's too many of us who ever question whether some "expert" can raise our kids better than we can. It been my experience (and I'm guessing I'm not alone in this) that the "experts" are generally people who, in their arrogance, believe that know best how to raise kids, but never actually have kids of their own.
That analogy of the dad needing permission from 50 adults to do something with his kid reminds me of my dad. He would take me out of school for "mental health days" once in a while. The high school didn't like it (elementary thought it was sweet). I was perpetually bored in school, so these days we would go hiking (we both like natural history), explore a historical site (we're also history buffs) and things like that. Or I'd go to work with him. He's a handyman. You can't say I didn't learn while I ditched school.
Send to all children to a farm to do real life work when they are 10. Their memories of that will shape them the rest of their lives. One summer would do it.
We started Classical conversations this year due to Covid and we love it so much that we plan to not put the kids back in public school and go through high school with it. We both work so it IS possible for people to do
Fabulous session, yet again - Might I also suggest to follow up with a session with Ron Paul .. yes, The Ron Paul, and Tom Woods - on their home schooling curriculum that they developed in the libertarian/Austrian Economic context several years ago, and very successful, too -
Exactly right. If you are a parent, YOU ARE teachers! You can teach formal education even with guidance from more groomed-in-education people. I did it. I was VERY motivated to help and teach my own. With guidance by a private school and great variety of curriculum, I did it. I also grew myself in many things and had a great bond develop w my children. They are functional, thinking adults today. I’m very proud of them and even myself for pushing forward! It’s not an easy task; you push forward.
"It takes a village to raise a child" still rings true! I wish I was influential in my child's early years to get her to "question everything" and think for herself. Hopefully, she'll come to her senses before reality come crashing through... Yikes!
It takes a parent first. It is nice if the village fits the norms of the of the parent but it does not no matter where you live today. Do not trust the village with your kids.
It does NOT take a "village" to raise a kid. THAT kind of thinking is part of the COMMUNIST ideal... resulting in the rationale that the "village" OWNS the kid(s).
@@jaegertiger384 I was born toward the end of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. My parents were sent to do hard labor in the reform camps because they were teachers. Instead of sending me to the inferno and burn to death as an infant, I spent the first six years of my life with their trusted friends. They loved me as if I was their own. I am forever indebted to my foster family. In my mind, they will always be my first family. When my parents and I immigrated to the US, we had to start our lives from next to nothing and without knowing a word of English. Again, I was fortunate to live with elderly couple. My land lady helped me learn English and excel in school. She stood up for me when my father used to hit me. There were many great figures in my life from living in those villages from both countries! Being raised in a village is not a communist ideal, but a collective value. Anthropologically speaking, we are social creatures who need each other to survive and thrive. Since children are the future, if we are not willing to help them grow by teaching them how to think, speak and act, then imagine one day, what would "our future" look like, sound like and act like when we need them to take care of us in our homes or in the nursing homes. Yikes! All seriousness, while I am all for teaching kids our values and standards, getting a little help from a caring village is a good thing! 😉
@@iammychoices I have read what you wrote and have a MUCH better understanding of your experience and what you see. There is a TREMONDOUS danger in the concept of the village and/or the community, because the "village" can easily become the tool of the mob in which destructive thought / action terrorizes others ( in the name of the village). Interestingly, my nextdoor neighbor has previously spouted the same kind of sentiments as yours to me about the "village", as I have consistently engaged with her son by teaching him engineering principles and all sorts of things. But here is where the lie resides. It has NOT taken the village to teach these things to her son. Instead, the "village" was nowhere, because our neighbors have never done anything. Instead, it has ONLY been me who put in the dedicated effort. And if I wasn't there, the rest of the village would NOT fill the void. So if I stop, then NOTHING happens. There is a profound TRUTH of Christianity in which the individual who believes GOD, steps out individually in faith and takes the action that brings GLORY to GOD.... NOT the village. In similar fashion, it was the Founding Fathers who stepped out individually, bringing liberty and the REPUBLIC into being... whereby making this nation is unique in so many ways. (As an aside, we have seen what the BAD components of the "village" did this padt Summer, specifically Antifa and BLM. While THEY are clearly the "village", they are also destructive.) It is through the amalgamation of individuals who do RIGHTEOUS things that causes good to prevail and for good things to happen. You yourself have acknowledged that there are good, righteous people who have prevailed over the powers if evil in your life. And I am sincerely grateful that they have been there for you and that God put them there so you could ultimately do righteous things yourself. In my life, and so many other's, it has been the power of the individual that has made good things happen. So... NO, it does NOT take a village... instead it takes righteous individuals who sacrifice for what is Holy and/or... for them to PREVAIL against Evil.
Jon and Ms Borton, Thank you so much for this subject and discussion. Our government indoctrination centers are corrupting the minds of our young people. More of this on thought leaders please!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The moment other American's felt justified in suppressing and attacking others for their thoughts ideals and opinions was the day the soul of America truly came under attack.
I am either very old, or lucky as the education you express is what I and my peers grew up with and all went on to University, Higher Education and enjoy always learning for fun as well as skills. All are also educators in life experience and skills for others, either adult or child. Nor did we grow up with Racism and Guilt for the color of our skins, which were all shades. Everyone has shades of color in them, this our teachers taught us, just the luck of genetics what color you come out, does not make anyone better or worse than anyone else.
Public education from inception has been predicated on the government forcing participation, and forcing you to fund other's participation regardless of any direct involvement or benefits derived by you. In other words, public education from inception was a communistic institution. Further it's agenda has been to indoctrinate it's participants in that ideology. Your children are your responsibility and mine are mine. As humans we have a moral duty to one another to support not direct each other in our obligations. Moral obligation are never fulfilled by compulsion nor are they effective in their outcomes when compelled. A classical education is one in which people are taught to think for themselves. The irony of "liberal progressives" that decry such an education is they do so on the basis of it being narrow minded. It's in fact the exact opposite it teaches people to be open to all ideas so that they can test them and see if they're truly virtuous, whereas supposed "progressive liberals", while claiming "open mindedness" are in fact demanding strict compliance to their myopic ideology.
We homeschooled. I'm glad we did. I think we could have done much better, but I know we did far better than public school, because we started there. Public school was a disaster in Franklin Co Kentucky, central Kentucky, not Eastern impoverished drug addled, Franklin Co Kentucky is in the State Capitol. Support is the most important aspect to enjoying and succeeding for the parent and the students. If there are 2 parents they have to have the same goals, be willing to encourage each other and the students in the purpose. When things get a little rough, and they will at times, Ask, and discuss the question, WHY are we here, doing this homeschooling? Let your students, your own children think, speak and remember *why* and what is the goal. And as the speaker said, outside support is likely the greatest need for a homeschooling family.
We left. In the challenge level, history is left out. Science is a year behind. The quality is hit and miss and requires you to try to figure out how to implement books you didn’t even pick. You lose the freedom to go at a pace best for your child and pick curriculum that is best. Communities are often dysfunctional. The business model relies on patents being willing to work for very little and others to volunteer. Glad to be gone. Most kids are burned out by Challenge 1 or 2. Challenge has always struggled to have enough students.
Other humans are always the weak link in any community. Fortunately, there are enough homeschooling options to fit nearly any family. Not all of our homeschooling friends are in CC, and they are all very successful, in my opinion. CC is definitely not for everyone, and I've often felt that it was more intense that I had hoped for my kids. They have thrived, though. They get more history than they will ever need in Challenge 3, and I've listened to much griping from my oldest about that. She just breezed through a semester of dual enrollment classes at a local university, math and chemistry. It is true, my wife has tutored for a couple of years. It isn't much, but it has paid for all of the curriculum, books, and even the university classes. Homeschool teacher is nearly a full-time job for at least one parent anyway, might as well get paid for something you are already doing.
History not covered until Challenge 3 is a bit late and for most. not enough for high school credits. Biology is not covered until the sophomore year of high school. In the past CC utilized volunteers for their for profit Practicums. This is not allowed. Many are using churches and the churches are unaware that each campus is operating multiple businesses which may not be lawful. Thus jeopardizing the church’s property tax exemption. Just a lot of shady stuff going on. It’s a business. All should do their homework. Be sure this business model can operate legally in your area. Check with the church to be sure they know they have a business being operated out of their building.
When they opened up the borders wide open, schools were told to dumb down to make it fair for "new comers". New comers parents couldn't help with the homework.
I would like to say that I agree with her statement on educating children as individuals, because schools have become centers for Indoctronation, which promote only fake education, political correctness and collectivism. I advocate for Vouchers for School choice K-12, as far as Universities and colleges go, I'm not sure how to tackle that. We should also promote NOT just colleges but trades. Because when I was in high school, we learned about Trades, but Trade was not encouraged. and some "teachers" would put down. trades. And that is because the Elitists who run the school system, they encourage society to do this. Because of that, (this is a cause and effect situation) society now forces people to get college degrees for jobs that dont even require it. If a person has a trade or 2 and a variety of skills but no degree, society now looks down on those people. They just say "fuck you, you're irrelevant".
Nothing beats learning a trade! I know it’s not advocated but the trades are hurting for GOOD, HONEST tradesmen, they are hard to come by and most I have found are older, I don’t know who will repair, install create if we don’t have good tradesmen.
@@kathyzimmerman2188 Yes, thank you Kathy. I am only hoping that Trades will not require 4 years of college in the future, but what do you think of the rest of what I wrote down?
Home school is very tough, its depend on student how that student mind is positive student attract to negative things most of time in home. Just like technology games.
Most U.S. parents are unprepared to teach their own children. They are poorly educated and without the mental capacity to even know where to properly begin. Of course those than can should. I just looked a bit deeper at documents produced by the school I previously taught at. They are teaching racism. Most parents don't know, or don't notice and are uninformed about how carefully crafted language makes these documents (curricula) sound wise, but they are not. There is a lot of hidden curricula out there.
Amazing you can get a degree in dance theory today. In the mid 70's there was an epidemic called DISCO FEVER. Yeah, there were shots to get over that too. Lot's of shots!
Thank god my son graduated he had to deal with sjw and far left teachers pushing their beliefs political and personal that has no place in schools the educational system needs an overhaul
Where would one go to start the process of getting two curriculum points add back to public schools? I have no children but I want eventual citizens to be educated about. 1. Firearm safty classes. Just like fire and electricity, firearms are great tools used with knowledge and respect. I have always read the Bill of Rights spicificaly 2A as a guide to be prepared to defend our liberty to express our innate human rights, also to feed self and others in times of need. 2. Bill of Rights is a list of innate human rights everyone has by way of being alive. The government did not give nor can they take rights they can only infringe on liberty or support liberty to express innate human rights.
Am I wrong in my observation of older people who got a public education? They seem to have been well served. Even the ones who only got a few years of schooling seem so smart. At that point in our educational history, local school boards decided how their kids were to be taught and the emphasis was on different things for different parts of the country. It seems that the quality of education fell sharply when government entered the picture. Am I wrong?
Great comments below, but are there are other ways as well through great teachers? Take a look at the interviews with Katharine Birbalsingh. A different approach in a difficult community but I'd suggest similar results. There's a great interview on the New Culture Forum. Thank you as always for asking questions and allowing a true, comprehensive answer.
My note 23:20 "single payer system". No choise system. If it is good, then it will be good, but if it is bad then it will be bad. It's like rolling a dice. The idea of knowledge rooted in how to get better chance is sustaining life (existence). To increased the odds to our favor. To roll the dice is like in opposite of the idea of seeking knowledge. Hence the idea of "single payer system" is a system that is not according to the idea of knowledge. "Single payer system" -> no choise -> not free -> decision made by others -> decision made not by the one who will go through it -> decision made by those who didn't pay for it -> against the ide "those who have rights are those who pay for it" -> decision should be made by the one who pays for it simply because the interest, the gain -> if decision about whats best for your children given to other person, you should make sure first that person has better in the interest for your children than you, in another word, they love your children more than you;the parent, is that possible? If that is the case, then you are not a good parent, a good parent is the ones that love their children the most than any other person -> that is why decision in regard of your children should be made by you, not others then decision of what best for them comes from the best possible because the best possible is due to the one who loves them the most. 26:10 grow up to be... In my word to my nephews, grow up to be someone.. "who can turn on the light in them by themselves" ..in order to see not blinded in darkness, then to act in the presence of their own light. For I can not always be there to shed my light for you guys to make sure you guys are fine, I shall teach you how to have your own light. So that I can rest in peace. 29:55 "isolating children from dangerous ideas..." How do they know that those ideas are dangerous bad, or good if they can't judge it. How can they judge it if the can't weigh it. How can they weigh it if they can't touch it. How can they touch it if you isolated it from them? Gin,
Interesting, I have a Granddaughter who has now finished college. She finished with honors! I am very proud of her. BUT she is only book smart, she doesn’t think, at least not the way we’re taught to think. She wants you to tell her next steps... she doesn’t reason things out. We failed her. Book smart, life stupid
Teachers are now talking about their political views in the high schools and the kids are uncomfortable saying that their families are conservative. A family member's child said their teacher told the 18 year olds to vote for Hilary Clinton in 2016. Totally out of line. Their political views are their business and they need to shut their mouths about them in the classroom -- total lack of professionalism.
@@fiona4228 Agreed. I went to school way back when and teachers kept their political leanings to themselves back then. Of all my teachers, I knew the political affiliations on only one, but even he allowed (and even encouraged) discussion and disagreement with him about it.
38:00 Otilus . I am unfamiliar with this word /name. Did I spell it correctly? I am familiar with Quo Vadis. Thank you for your insights and beautiful presentation.
I think she said, "uh, telos..." (or teleos). Understanding the end goal (independent thinker that knows how to express their thoughts in an organized, eloquent manner, with a lifelong desire to learn) and the steps needed to achieve that.
As a speech-language pathologist and special education teacher, I ask how this works with children with learning and behavioral disorders. This sounds like the perfect template for a typically developing child, but the numbers of special needs children continue to skyrocket.
I truly enjoyed this interview. Her insight and perspective is a breath of fresh air. The hijacking of our public school system by socialist ideologists is one of our biggest failures as a society. It is possibly the most important public construct in need of immediate and major reform. The indoctrination of our youth in the principals of: blindless obedience to authority, suppression of free speech, conformity, and the quelling of imagination have led to this self- perpetuating system that has developed in just a few generations. The survival of our civilization, founded on Judeo-Christian values and shaped by post-Enlightment philosophy, hinge on our response to this public health mental crissis. For surely, ignoring the symptoms of this chronically ill system will lead to the down fall of not only this country, but all of Western civilization. I fear that my grand children will never know what it means to be American if we allow the educational system's curriculum to be rewritten by Globalist philanthropical endowments such as the Rockefellers, Gates, Mellon, Carnegie, Ford.
And how about paying the parents that are homeschooling their kids the $50,000 they pay each teacher each year from taxes. Bc the public education system doesn't work.
I have one question... how are we protecting education by suppressing free speech... how are we protecting our kids by compelled speech.... the entire reason we are the nation we are is because we can practice our right to speech no matter what speech that is... it needs to be heard for it to be corrected... I say that meaning i was taught that the right to freedom of speech gives us the right to defend our self by the TRUTH and yes I know how to use manners and speak without complications... but a lie will defend nothing... but all speech is free speech, even the right to remain silent... I was taught to not lie... but no matter if you like the truth or not the truth must be heard... and that is free speech even if you dont want to hear it... and compelled speech is going to take away that right... and even though the arguement can be made that speech can be damaging, that damaging part is allowing lies to be heard over the TRUTH ....
@Marie Mercer amen. Good say... auto correct...sorry... fact is speaking is a part of our life. And I believe in free speech.... they passed bill c16 in canada and now nancy Pelosi is trying to push the same agenda... we can not allow them to compromise our speech or right to free speech... this is as important as the presidential election its self... free speech is the reason we are not a socialist or communist nation "as we speak"... no way she should be voted back in at all.... I have no idea how she has won her seat at all... i chanenge her seat to TRUTH up...I mean I want to know and SEE THE VOTES for her... I dont think she has won her seat at all want to see her election results to prove she actually won her seat.... she and those that voted for her ate in question... she has murdered us all and will continue if we dont lock her up...
Facts: California has the largest network of public schools in the country - and also one of the worst-performing. Only 29.2% of fourth graders in the state are proficient in math, and only 27.8% are proficient in reading - each the third lowest share of any state. The California Teachers Association and its local unions are the largest donors to California politics and to the California Democratic Party. General Fund expenditures for K-12 and child development programs are $45.3 billion and total funding for K-12 education, including state, local and federal funds, is $76.6 billion.
If my mother and I were left alone with the match games you made by underlining words teaching me to write them and underlining them with a pencil in a book I though disabled dislexic, would have been reading fluently at college level in kindergarten..! Just a simple Little Match Game the children have excellent Minds for..! Phonics was vanity press education that made high school children slow readers.. and I'm convinced it was a plot a well leg plot by Alter rich people that bought the books with the motive let's Lobby this stuff into public schools we can keep their kids stupid what our kids get a great curriculum..! Evil eletest Ultra rich people do this all over the world why would the United States be any different..!
Classical education not necessary. If at all possible, just bring your kids home, read all the time, get a good handle on math, explore the world, learn life skills, dabble in art, and meet up with friends.
Not every homeschool parent has the means to pay the CC curriculum. Clicks of parents & children tend to form. If your child or you are not popular enough, you will be disappointed after a while. You can give a classical education on your own, just as well as any group. Be careful of liberal "Christian" parents. They are out there.
No, it is not a blank (slate) baby. She is incorrect. Every baby has God in him/her, as well as their God given gifts. It is our duty to protect and nutrture, as parents and teachers. Ask me anything. I am happy to sgare & learn.
This all sounds fascinating but some of us are full-time working parents who aren't the best at teaching, who have trouble with maintaining long periods of patience, who want to come home after work and take some time to relax and would like to spend more free time with our children and not be seen as the parents and teachers rolled into one.
Dear Parents, Nothing worth fighting for if it wasn't for your Kids.
