Maybe it's time for SCHOOL FREE zones

Parents, I implore you, get your children out of public school now! I beg you on bended knee to stand up and save your child from the clutches of a deplorable system gone rouge and hell bent on using your child's life to gain the power and money it needs to survive. How much more of the abuse public schools are famous for, do you think your child can tolerate?

It's been proven our FBI, DOJ and many of our Sheriffs are corrupt. They have been for decades. Their mission today is to look away when trouble is brewing inside American institutions, especially public schools. It's been proven many of our political leaders are degenerates. There is a war on for the very souls of our children and our government is complicit. We are being forced to take sides. Do we choose the side of the gun-grabbing, anti-constitutional, banker owned power elite, or do we choose freedom, liberty and defending our constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic?

Bring your children home. Bring them home from public schools the size of small towns and fashioned after the prison system. Bring them home from gun free zones where they are sitting ducks and being used as fodder to destroy our constitutional rights and break our spirit. Take charge of your family and your lives. Go home, hug your children, heal your family and get busy studying our constitution.

If you don't think you can educate your own child, I'm here to tell you homeschooling your child is the easy part and the least of your worries. Stop letting the public school system use the compulsory attendance laws to endanger your child. Once you realize your child is no longer being exposed to nightmarish labeling and legal drugging, bullying by other children who've learned the art from the adults paid to teach them, and dangerously anonymous entities footing the bill to keep us locked into ignorance, you'll see for yourself that public schooling is nothing more than a con game.

Stop exposing your child to a 'one-world one-government' lesson plan that defies all logic and sensibility with its participation trophies and one-size-fits-all bathroom assignments. A con game full of false flags and indebted slavery. A con game where your 14 year old daughter arrives home from school and announces the school nurse took her to a nearby clinic for an abortion!

Bring your children home and get back to reading, writing and arithmetic so your child will be educated well enough to think independently and critically. An educated child better equipped to make valuable life choices instead of the go along to get along mentality of the herd. A child not exposed to legal and illegal drugs, and danger on a daily basis.

Get your children out now. No more excuses for subjecting your innocent and defenseless child to an artificial environment drunk on power, money and control of your thoughts. Get your children out of public school now where your sweet child is being terrorized and used as an excuse to wrangle away your parental and God-given right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as established by the creators of our United States Constitution.

People getting even with President Trump by turning to homeschooling

Nothing surprises me anymore, especially when politics are involved.

With the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education, there has been a firestorm of support and backlash. Now, some of those wishing to push back against DeVos and President Trump, are calling on parents to homeschool. Say what? Homeschool? That's a good thing.

Check out the story at this link:
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/devos-backlash-sees-left-threatening-homeschool-kids-which-she-supports-n718041

Can you imagine thousands more turning to homeschooling in the next two years? They may have to if Congress gets its way and dismantles the Department of Education. For many parents, just taking that initial step towards homeschooling is the most difficult part. Once they conquer their apprehensions they're well on their way to one of the best educational opportunities EVER! Some may fail but I'll bet you the majority will succeed simply because their eyes will open to a world of sanity and a family centered life. Just more of that 'winning' President Trump keeps talking about.

Conquering the campus

It's funny how most public schools refer to themselves as a 'campus' these days. Our old two room schoolhouse was just that -- the schoolhouse. The upstairs was the Grange Hall, complete with a stage for variety shows, and the basement held a kitchen with a counter for serving and long tables set end to end. Outside we had a set of swings, teeter-totters and a metal merry-go-round the tallest girl in the school would push for the rest of us.

There was a tiny patch of grass, located between the driveway to our schoolhouse and the main road, we used for a ball field and another grassy area behind the building which seemed to remain wet much of the year. There was a dirt path circling the two story building and we spent many hours, during recesses, just walking round and round while chatting with our friends.

Today, however, things are different. It seems public schools are competing to be the biggest and the best. Oh, you have the massive, sprawling flat roof buildings with their central air and heat, but at least we could open the many windows to let in fresh air. Outside of these modern day gargantuan box schools you see acres and acres of fields, one for each sport. There are several parking lots--one for the students, one for staff, one for visitors and one for the fleet of school buses and other school owned vehicles.

Public schools today refer to themselves as a 'campus', not unlike a college or university. Seems rather self-important, don't you think?

Bigger isn't necessarily better though, not by any stretch of the imagination. Bigger, in this case, means more centralized control and that means control over everything including the money, the children, the parents and the taxpayers, in order to keep these behemoths in power. Public schools today are not unlike the modern prison system.

Sure, public schools look impressive but over the years they've become oppressive hell-holes for the American families who get sucked into their vortex under the threat of fines or jail time if their child is deemed truant. Once a child is forced into such an environment what else is there to do but conquer the campus. Make the most of a bad situation, if you will.

Some parents feel they have no other choice but to give over their child to certified strangers. Maybe some want to toughen their child for what life may throw at them, so they will steel themselves for the process and gut it out. Instead of a child learning how to function successfully within his or her family and the real world, the child must learn to master the artificial and arbitrary world of the public school. He or she must conquer the campus. They will do this by becoming the best at jumping through hoops, telling those in charge of this system what they want to hear, and winning meaningless awards to boost their self-esteem. At the end of this dubious marathon of testing, grading and attendance taking, each child will dress in indistinguishable uniform colors (which prevents them from standing out among the horde) and is handed a small inscribed keepsake not worth the paper it's printed on.

Some children and their parents are happy to reach for the proverbial school carrots, such as prom, theater, sports, concerts, class trips and key clubs, while serving their truancy sentence. If they can conquer the campus, life under this false imprisonment is much more tolerable than the freedom they fear as independent, free-thinking families they have the power to be.

Each fall I witness a plethora of 'back to school' photos online of frightened, bewildered and sad little children whose parents are just as scared of the unknown but are determined to conquer the campus at the expense of their child's sanity. Yes, sometimes you see the heartless, self-centered parent singing and dancing as the long yellow bus drives away with their precious cargo, but those selfish parents have no interest in conquering anything. The only freedom they concern themselves with is their own. Those 'back to school' photos should all be captioned 'conquering the campus' photos because in them are little warriors being sent off to do battle against the freedom takers we call administrators, legislators and unionized school teachers.

Although we still pay taxes that support these mega-schools and the pensions of those who run them, some of us feel it is a small ransom for the success and well-being of our children. While millions of other parents and their children continue to conquer the campus, we homeschoolers are out there conquering the real world or, at the very least, giving it our best shot. We don't fear the freedom we've discovered, we embrace it. That freedom leads to success and peace of mind.

It's time to stop trying to conquer the campus and start tackling your fears. Fight the battle you were meant to fight--the safe keeping of your family. Liberate yourself, your family and your home, then work to vanquish those who wish to conquer you and your child!

Puke soaked sheets at 3:00 a.m.

After stumbling upon this blog post, 'Couples therapy for homeschoolers', my first thought was it is probably the most messed up thing I've ever read about homeschooling. Initially, I thought what does this have to do with homeschooling?

However, after reading elsewhere on the blog how and why the author cut public schooling out of her life, it appears she is taking a huge step in the right direction to remedy her own education and past. Deciding to homeschool her children was probably THE best thing she ever did to heal from a traumatic childhood and to empower herself. This mom is making the journey and transitioning to a stronger advocate for her own children. Much of what she writes about may make you uncomfortable but she is quite open and honest about sharing her experiences (even the ugly personal ones) and her discoveries.

Penelope Trunk seems to have landed in the same trap many women, since the 1960's, have tumbled into. Many of us were indoctrinated into thinking we needed to be overachievers or career oriented in this world to be successful and happy. Some women overcompensate to hide a past or to prove their worth. Some of us put off childbearing until we feel we can incorporate both a career and children into our lives. Unlike your fancy car or stunning wardrobe though, children are not a status symbol.

Once motherhood becomes a reality, we find ourselves needing to make some tough choices concerning our livelihoods. Being a mom is a full time job in and of itself. The harsh reality, in spite of years of being told 'we can have it all', is that having children means puke soaked sheets at 3:00 a.m. when you've got a team meeting at the office the next morning at 8:00! Unless you're willing to pass off that responsibility to a daycare worker, public school teacher or high school counselor, your life's mission, as a parent, is to provide for every aspect of your child's life. That includes the physical, spiritual, educational and moral well-being of that child you were blessed with.

Having a career or job isn't the same as having an income. One of the greatest challenges will be finding a way to feed, clothe and house your family as a homeschooling or stay-at-home mom. If you've established a career working outside the home and away from your family, you may need to rethink your situation if it interferes with your responsibility of raising healthy, happy and well educated children.

I'm looking forward to reading more of Penelope's blog in the future. We old timers can relate to her struggles and appreciate her growth as a homeschooling parent. Sometimes it takes motherhood to bring life into focus for a clearer vision of what nature intended us to be, not what present day culture tries to mold us into. Sometimes success and happiness can be measured by how quickly we can provide fresh clean sheets and much needed hugs to a sick child at 3 o'clock in the morning.

Why French children don't have ADHD...now there's something to ponder

The title of this article is Why French Kids Don't Have ADHD by Marilyn Wedge, Ph. D. and it explains much about child rearing in the French culture as opposed to the way American's raise their offspring. The public schools in the USA have whittled away at parental rights while taking over the raising of America's children. However, many of us, via homeschooling, have managed to maintain our God-given and constitutional rights to raise our own children as we see fit. We get to set our own standards which are usually higher than the school's one-size-fits-all method.

Is ADHD a defect related to social and cultural environments? Does it even exist at all? Could it be there is far more money to be made with the diagnosis and treatment for ADHD than there is for raising children outside of the failed institution we know as public schooling?  Ponder that.

Meet another homeschool mom and see how she does it

Homeschool Mom - News and Weather For The Quad Cities -

There are lots and lots more homeschoolers today. When we began our homeschooling journey over 28 years ago, homeschoolers were few and far between. Many were homeschooling 'under the radar' but some of us were willing to plow the way for future generations by being vocal and highly visible.

Interviews, such as this, are great to see how other homeschooling moms approach education and child rearing. They can be inspirational and informative, as well as encouraging. Not all mom's will have a college degree in teaching but don't let that stop you from providing your child with the best learning environment you can muster. In fact, I've discovered over the years some of the best homeschooling parents are drop-outs. They don't bring to their homeschool all the educational theory and baggage some parents with degrees have.

Helping Your Spouse Explore Unschooling

Helping Your Spouse Explore Unschooling

This is a good article if your spouse is having doubts about unschooling.

Let's not overlook the big picture

As always, when I read an article about unschooling, it's more interesting to read the raw comments that follow. Take for instance Libby Anne's little ditty about her unschooling concerns. Her evangelical turned atheist view of the world intrigues me. Apparently she was homeschooled in a strict Evangelical Christian home and has now forsaken that upbringing to become a feminist/atheist/progressive homeschooling mom.

What's important here is not Libby's opinion or the comments. What's important is the bigger picture of how parents are approaching homeschooling, unschooling and education in general. For decades and generation after generation, many parents have instructed their children in the only fashion they know how. They were schooled so they think they need to school their children by providing huge amounts of structure, including text books, schedules, assessments, team sports, educationese and gobs of busywork.

The bigger picture is how long will it take for parents and our culture to stop mimicking the public schools and start building a society of truly educated people. The past 20 to 30 years of homeschooling cannot compete with a public school system that has been in place since 1635 and is still going strong. Granted, the public schools of today are money sucking, debased hell holes and parents are taking their children out of them in droves, but they still reign supreme in the minds of politicians and those who have a stake in them.

It will take time for homeschooling to find its stride. Sure, we'd all like to close down the public schools, send everyone home and give everyone their money back, then reopen them as free and independent learning centers minus political and union influence. Meanwhile, in my humble opinion, any form of homeschooling or unschooling is valid, providing we are doing the best we can with what little education we received at the hands of government schools.
