Merry Christmas & A Prosperous & Happy New Year!
Thank you to all my family, friends and followers for your support and encouragement over the years. Looking back on our homeschool experience I have no regrets To those of you who homeschool and for those of you who will in the future, please know I intend to keep fighting the fight for our rights and freedoms. I look around and see the results of homeschooling and I like what I see. Homeschooling is the saving grace of a strong and free America! Blessings always!

Love it...love it...love it!
You gotta hand it to the legislators and school officials in California. What they do makes my job of advocating for home education so much easier. More often than not what is legislated and adopted into the California schools eventually makes its way across the country and eventually ends up in our Vermont schools as well. The sad part is this crap takes time for young, dumbed down parents to discover and usually by then their children are so screwed up it takes them years to heal their families. But, hey, that's what the schools are counting on are they not?
...and they wonder why students are leaving in droves
Teachers, principals, superintendents, board members, legislators, journalists, janitors and cafeteria ladies can't seem to figure out why students are leaving their precious public schools in droves, or so they claim. Could it possibly have anything to do with this? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm?
This is nothing new. It just tends to bubble up to the surface of public awareness, like the scum in a cesspool, whenever a Democrat takes up residence in the White House. I think the word for this is Clintonesque.

Jail time for lowest math scores in the nation????
This is just too funny! I opt to throw the parents in jail for choosing to send their children to these Detroit public schools in the first place.
"This is an abysmal failure," Bobb said. "It is not the fault of our kids individually, and it is not the fault of our kids collectively. It is not the kids' fault. It is the adults' fault. It is a failure of leadership."
The scores were so low that DPS parent Tonya Allen said she thinks students could have stayed home and done just as badly on the tests."
Failure of leadership? More like failure of parenting. If they HAD kept their children home and taught them there the children would probably all be reading and writing on a college level by now!
Geeeeeeeeesssssh!!!
Eight dads jailed for standing up for their parental rights! The real criminals here are those who file the charges and enforce such laws. It makes you wonder how many of these teachers, school administrators, legislators, police, prosecutors, jail guards and wardens have children of their own. More often than not it's THEIR children who are the dolts, druggies, perverts and thieves who act like their reprobate parents! Geeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssh!!!!
Socialization myth gets debunked...again!
Even after homeschooling for over 22 years that ol' socialization monster still keeps rearing its ugly head. Here is the latest article and research debunking the socialization myth once again.
Michael Smith, president of HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) states in his article: "Since the re-emergence of the home-school movement in the late 1970s, critics of home-schooling have perpetuated two myths. The first concerns the ability of parents to adequately teach their own children at home; the second is whether home-schooled children will be well-adjusted socially."
The 're-emergence' is the key word here. For centuries parents taught their own. Public school teachers are nothing more than certified strangers who, with the help of union thugs, maintain a high level of job comfort and job security for themselves with little, if any, regard for the proper and useful education of children. Parents are simply going back to their roots after discovering that public schooling is nothing more than a system of lies, greed and propaganda.

Finally, someone 'gets it'...go Rush!
