NHPR.org - The New Trend in Homeschooling: Un-Schooling.

NHPR.org - The New Trend in Homeschooling: Un-Schooling.

The Unschool Bus makes headlines again but in New Hampshire this time where the legislature is in much need of an education themselves. It's time to bring attention to the plight of parents in that state who want to homeschool their children in peace without needless harassment from public school bureaucrats and politicians.

"Unschoolers say that traditional classrooms waste too much time and sometimes disrupt the learning process."

Home Schooling Trend Rising In El Paso - News Story - KFOX El Paso

"According to Roennebeck and Rachel Lozano, head of Southwest Home-School Network, the number home-schooled kids is 3,000 - to 6,000. The gap in numbers is due to the fact that home-schoolers in Texas are treated like private school students and are not required to register with the state, or anyone for that matter."

"Not required to register with the state..." As it should be in EVERY state!

View a map provided by Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) that shows which states have the most lenient homeschool regulations and which have the most difficult. Remember, if you seriously want to homeschool and your state is not supportive you can always vote with your feet. Move to a better state until your children are grown.

Over 400 secular and inclusive support groups

SecularHomeschool.com Now Listing Over 400 Secular and Inclusive Support Groups

"SecularHomeschool.com, a social networking community and resource site dedicated to secular homeschoolers, now lists over 400 secular and inclusive support groups in the United States and Canada alone."

My how times have changed since we first started homeschooling over 24 years ago.

"A decade ago, homeschoolers were on the outskirts of the educational mainstream. That is no longer the case. As budget cuts, classroom overcrowding, standardized testing and many other variables motivate parents to take their children’s education into their own hands, the number of secular homeschoolers is expected to continue to grow for many years to come."

Wouldn't surprise me to see an even bigger boom in homeschooling in the next decade!

Michael Ruppert's vision for the future of America and the world


Z-DAY L.A., 2011 from CollapseNet.com on Vimeo.

Is this news to you? If Michael is wrong we have little to worry about. If he's right you'd better buckle up because we're in for a bumpy ride. If what Michael says is true chances are homeschoolers won't miss much of a beat because we're already learning in freedom and can research what he's telling us. We don't need to wait for the mainstream media to spoon feed us information and we can prepare our families for what could possibly be a turbulent future. We can teach our children skills they will need without interference from the state run schools. Our families are better bonded because we don't spend our days running off in separate contrived directions controlled by the state.

Want more information on this subject? I've been adding links to my S.H.I.T. You Need To Know Facebook page where you can view more videos that will help you prepare for the possible coming chaos.  Feel free to join me and let your thoughts on this be known.

Shocker! On his own, judge demands homeschool student IDs

Shocker! On his own, judge demands homeschool student IDs

"The letters cited the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and asked the families to notify the attendance officer by April 8, 2011, if they intended to initiate legal action to prevent release of the protected information sought by Judge Walker," HSLDA said.

The notice from the HSLDA to its members said the judge also wanted the addresses of all homeschoolers in Smith, Lawrence, Covington, Simpson and Jefferson Davis counties."

The controlling elite are just itchin' to round up all you homeschoolers. This is just the beginning. They're testing the waters to see how much they can get away with and to see if parents are paying attention. We need to stop electing Democrat and Republican party members to office in this country if we want to maintain our freedoms. Both parties are so corrupt and twisted that you wouldn't need to bury them when they die. You could just SCREW them into the ground.

Local News : Homeschool program expands to accommodate growing demand - Frontiersman

Local News : Homeschool program expands to accommodate growing demand - Frontiersman

"Those shipping containers currently contain curriculum materials that the school is planning to put into a library parents can check them out of. Mat-Su Central School is a unique operation among borough schools in that it is, at heart, a collection of homeschool students rather than a traditional school. Brown would say that the school is also unique among homeschool operations as well because the operation is completely parent-driven."

Parent-driven! Now that's a great idea!

72% of Vermont schools are flunkies

According to this article in the Burlington Free Press 72% of Vermont school are flunking. Yeah, but meanwhile everyone sure is having a good time at the ball games, prom and at the free lunch table! Who cares if the graduates can't read, write, spell or calculate. They know how to put condoms on cucumbers and fund raise for charities! The saddest part is the children have no idea they are being denied a real education.
