People ask me often, why I homeschool. It’s not an easy question to answer because there are so many reasons and the question deserves a long sit down conversation, but here is my attempt to answer the question in one paragraph:
Public education in America is not developmentally appropriate, severs children from their families, is structured on false pacing that puts pressure on students’ weaknesses and holds back their geniuses, teaches intellectual dependence, destroys belief in God, does not instruct in the principles of liberty, does not model natural choice and consequence, teaches false reasoning based on false assumptions, omits important historical context for deceptive purposes, has begun to deconstruct western civilization and the philosophical and moral underpinnings of our nation, and to put the nail in the coffin the institutions can no longer keep children safe from bullying, sexual exploitation, or violent crime.
“All experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
When will we reach the point when our government schools are unsufferable in their design to reduce us to absolute despotism? And will we the people have the cuttings to throw off these institutions and provide new guards for our children? We must do it soon, for as Abraham Lincoln so astutely observed, “The school room in one generation is the government in the next.”
