Why home schooling is on the rise nationwide 

Extactly why my child is and has been in virtual school since 2019 it’s not like it used to be dangerous

I'm with you

Also, there's a woman at my church who pulled out her kids from public school after there was a stabbing. There's been an increase in fights to the point where it is honestly not safe anymore

it's the opposite, actually. They're learning too much. Parents are scared that kids will know more than they do. And they're right

​@@katenoke1571 If they're learning so much, why is it that an ever increasing number of kids can't even read at their grade level? Or why have test scores gone down to the point where there's several sxhools where not a single student was proefficient at math?

@@trato-jm3fx because of a couple of things: inequality (red states have a dismal record on this) and the fact that we are committed to educating all students, including those with disabilities (you know, like those babies born at 22 weeks who are medically fragile and suffer cognitive and behavioral deficits). Other countries don't include those kids in statistics. Hope this helps and you become an advocate for equal educational opportunities for all of our children!!!! Our 3rd level institutions are the envy of the world

​@@katenoke1571😂😂😂

@@katenoke1571I work with public school kids and youth, like 97% of them reading below grade level.

I'm sorry to hear this and advise you to pull her out because in my experience bullying does not get treated serious at all. Most schools are soft on bullying calling it "restorative discipline" and moving away from zero tolerance.

Thank you for sharing your experience and your contributions. It’s assuring to see the perspective from a true professional educator

Please share with us parents how to get started, what websites for example. Thank you !

@@MissyM3 Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly love working with kids.

There are also lack of life skills. I know many of the teachers do their best as teachers, but the kids are badly needing life skills. It does not hurt for a 12 and 13 year old to learn work ethic. And kids also have more time with their families when they are homeschooling. It kind of makes me mad that the guy is talking about consequences. I love homeschooling my kids.

Not just those listed above. It’s because of other things also like some being dangerous, outrageous policies, bad teachers, the curriculum and the mix of political rederic and indoctrination of “system” ideologies. Those are just some but extremely good reasons kids should be homeschooled.

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 In response to your point about consequences to home schooling. There are also positive consequences to home schooling that are left unstated. Such as better academic achievement, and a better learning environment (lack of bullying, etc).

@brianschuetz2614 OH yes. There are a ton of pros to homeschooling. I mean you do not get the high school proms or graduation ceremonies, but that's ok. I never wanted to go to prom anyways. I don't think my kids are interested in prom either. My daughter gets to go to Night to Shine, and that matters to her, but she could really care less about prom and homecoming...lol. The pros are more time with the family, being able to make learning fun, including field trips, doing life skills which is something they do not have time to do in school, or they are too tired to do it, learning money at home, being able to learn at their own pace and not having so much peer pressure. Like my kids do not care that they wear Goodwill clothes, partly because they don't have the peer pressure to buy the newest brands of clothing.

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187Many homeschool co-ops do prom and graduation :)

Yup! All around the world. I have parents reach out to me for homeschool support from South Africa, Bulgaria, Australia -- all over!!

They're doomsayers, in other words

Send them to public school and they’ll come back telling you that math is racist.

@@celestial-mq9sc uh oh, another fake terrified right winger. Watch out, everyone!!!!!

@@celestial-mq9sc oh no, your kids might actually learn something! I bet the Duggars wish they had been sent to public school so they could have learned about inappropriate touching...

@@katenoke1571Yeah, because inappropriate touching never happens at school or to any kid that goes to school 🤦🏻‍♀️

poor thing

I did have a teacher who taught me real life experience. Actually 2 of them. They were phenomenal teachers. They had to take me out of the school to do so.

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 Same here. And my two highly dedicated mentors made sure my experiences were as varied as they were vast, spanning twelve cities in five U.S. states and two countries on two separate continents. Mere brick & mortar schoolhouses staffed by staid, bored, highly-regulated “teachers” can never provide that level of intense, real-life learning experiences.

@fluxfaze I had one teacher take me and the class out of state to an overnight science camp for learning, another would take us on random field trips such as a holocaust museum, cemetery where most people buried there died of either the bubonic plague or Spanish flu, and she would take us to DC. She knew we were not learning in the classroom. Another taught me work ethic by having me volunteer and taking me on part-time job interviews. So 3. They were phenomenal. And then my parents taught me work ethic by having me work for them and earn money. I learned the most from those experiences than I did from four walls.

@fluxfaze Now I homeschool my kids and my kids are thriving. Their having life experience, learning job skills, money, gardening and so on.

Most liberals I know are not afraid of conservatives at all. They just want their kids to have life experience.

I'm sure there are a few that actually are home schooling because they don't like "conservative values", but my guess is that the majority of them are not doing it for that reason.

You are right schools are unsafe. Liberal teachers in government schools will indoctrinate your kids.

This coincides with the rise of unsocialized school shooters. You realize you're reinforcing what you're complaining about, right?

@@katenoke1571 Please elaborate. I think you are making a correlation that isn't justified, but I'm curious to hear your take.

@@brianschuetz2614 I mean, the same people who complain that schools were shut during covid also complain that public schools aren't fit places for their children, who need to be sheltered from a dangerous world. What is the impact of hearing that you can't be allowed to attend school with your peers? Isolation is a key factor in mental health issues

@@brianschuetz2614 I do understand that correlation doesn't equal causation, but children not being able to interact with peers from different backgrounds and experiences in public schools just doesn't seem wise to me. Too much fear is being forced on children. No wonder they're struggling to make their way in the world

This often comes with strings attached…

@@mariafuniciello7645 as it should. You're taking away $ from other students just so you can indoctrinate your children

That's not the victory you think it is. The government will want more access to your home in that regard.

@@nikkifoster9943 probably not in texas, lol

You want to be paid to teach your kids? Why not pay yourself and leave the rest of us out of it?

I cringed when I heard 1970s 😂

A number of our country's early leaders were homeschooled....Homeschooling was the more traditional way to school going back from the beginning of humanity up until the late 1800s- when the industrial revolution had Rockefeller declaring "I don't want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers," and then set out to establish widespread gov't funded (mandatory) schooling to learn the necessary skills to fill the factories.

Turn on the news. The pandemic is over

good point

In my state, school at home numbers during the pandemic were not the same as homeschooling. Homeschoolers are not "registered" students in the district.

@@juliennedesjardins5383 this is definitely an important and relevant context which could mean these numbers could be skewed.

@@alk3078nope I know a lot of people with Covid it is not over

I’d send my kid to public school in Florida before a public school in Michigan. They’re half-white, and I don’t want them being taught their father is a colonizer that hates them 🤦🏾‍♀️

oh boy

As a homeschooling mom myself, how many times do I need to repeat that my kids are socialized??😅

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187I have my friends from Christian homeschooling group I was part of. Including my boyfriend!. We both been labeled crazy sorry nay sayers my boyfriend & I made that decision to homeschool when we have kids one day special Ed in the school system no thanks.

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 That's the thing that's getting so annoying to me, is the continued idea that home schooled children won't get "socialized". I grew up in public school, when public school was actually not as bad as it is today. After I graduated high school, I had to spend several years developing my social skills. I was shy and socially awkward. I'm not convinced a formal school setting is ideal, or even helpful, for "socializing" children. And really, how difficult is it to socialize a child outside of a school setting? I mean, I actually had plenty of socializing outside of a school setting that was definitely more enjoyable and profitable. As long as you don't keep a child isolated all the time, they'll be just fine. There are many options available for putting a child in social settings outside of school. If nothing else, get them involved with scouts. If you have friends with kids, there's another source for socializing. My friends had their son involved with a theater group involving children. There are sports options. Even options involving music and art. If a parent is truly interested in their child's development, they don't need a formal school setting to achieve it.

@@brianschuetz2614 amen to this. I completely agree.

Or identifying as a cat

Or sexually trafficked, which that has happened in schools....sadly.

@@thelizfamilyvlogs6187 LMOA on cat.. and agreed

Plenty of abuse happens in the home. Homeschooling would make that easier to hide

@katenoke1571 But the families who are not abusing should not be punished due to families who are abusive. So there should still be freedom to homeschool. I know that families who are known to have a history of abuse, are required to send their kids to school in some states, which I think is great. Families who are abusive have no business homeschooling their kids.

BOOM!

where the heck do you live? Most parents are too busy with all their social activities to bother with supporting schools

Have you been following all the school board meetings online? Parents have stood up and given evidence, ideas, compelling arguments, and they’re totally dismissed and ignored, even bullied by administrators.

@@dumbphonemom maybe they're just a bunch of ignorant whiners? Just a thought. Luckily, young people aren't as easily manipulated as their parents
