Homeschool

I’ve done a great deal of genealogy research on my family. The thing that stuck me was that the majority the Greatest Generation in my family had less than an 8th grade education. Think about this for a minute, The Americans who defeated Hitler and the Imperial Japs had an education that focused on 5 things. Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Civics, and American History. These should be the focus in public school at least up to the 8th grade. The church and parents supplied the rest.

I mean unless you are going on to an academic or professional career what more do you really need? It may be better if we went back to that model where primary school went to the 8th grade and then a decision is made to either enter a trade or go onto a profession that needs a college degree.

Industry and society in general must recognize this as well and stop playing into the lies the current education system puts out. When was the last time a doctor, lawyer, or teacher could fix a broken toilet, build a house, fix the HVAC, or wire a house? Think about how much money is wasted in high school for students going into the trades and how many woke teachers that will not be needed. I’m not saying this is the best solution but it’s an area that needs real discussion.

As far as homeschooling goes, there is no logical reason not to support homeschooling K thru 8 primary education as long as there is some form of community socialization.

Government monopoly day prisons masquerading as schools. THAT is what they REALLY are.

I live in a small town in East Texas population is approximately 1,300 people. The low effort high, reward communist teachers and the school board control the town and run the school district like a cartel. The teachers do not tolerate anyone that tries to reduce school taxes. The local schools are rated by the State of Texas as “B” performance level schools. 38% of the high school students are classified as “At Risks” because they have no reading or math skills, however, and surprisingly, 100% of the high school students graduate. The college placement exams for the high school have declined every year for decades. It appears the more money the school district extorts from the tax payers the lower the college place exam scores go. There are only 3 schools in the town and all 3 schools have world class buildings. The high school gym makes a new commercial gym look shabby. Every school bond issue passes -- of course, the teachers run the school bond election process and they count the votes. Now the teachers only attend class just 160 days per year. The teachers demand a performance bonus every year. They are the highest paid people in the county. School taxes are outrageous. Now the teachers are demanding a 4 day work week because they have stress issues. Of course, no one but teachers have employment stress. BTW, the school district absolutely despises Home Schooling. If you have no kids in school you should be exempt from school taxes, other wise, the school taxes are just extortion. Who is $ John Galt?
