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.

Advice for moms having trouble homeschooling with babies and toddlers around

Advice for moms having trouble homeschooling with babies and toddlers around

This is why unschooling is so effective. When you unschool you live your life and don't sweat the non-structured stuff. Children will learn in spite of your failed efforts to recreate the school in your home. In fact, you'll be better off if you don't try to school your children. Two of my greatest teachers were my two children. I learned more valuable lessons from them over the years, once I learned to relax and trust them, than I ever could have if I'd gone to college for a lifetime.

'We have the power to take your kids away' - The Local

'We have the power to take your kids away' - The Local

Homeschooling in Germany is making small steps but, nonetheless, steps. There is no going back once a homeschooler experiences the freedom that comes with self-education. The problem with Germany is it not only requires compulsory attendance, it requires compulsory education, meaning the government wants to control what you think. How anyone in authority can believe they can control what a person thinks is beyond me, but they sure do try.

PA Homeschool Dad Pays Property Taxes in Dollar Bills

This homeschooling dad is terrific. Watch him pay $7,143.00 of his $10,000.00 property taxes in dollar bills and some change. He homeschools his three children and doesn't utilize the public school. His argument is we are being coerced into paying for something we don't need or want (very true) and we shouldn't live in fear of losing our homes if we don't cough up the dough that pays the union thugs (my words) who run the public schools.

We all know school boards are as useless as tits on a bull because their main function is to extort as much cash as they can from taxpayers, in order to appease the union thugs who control this monopoly. The video is approximately 14 minutes long but well worth watching.

Kudos homeschool dad for standing up for your rights and for giving us this visual to pass along to other patriots.

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.

State run re-education gulags?

According to this article by Kurt Nimmo at Infowars.com, the Department of Homeland Security has labeled homeschoolers as terrorists. While DHS refers to us as terrorists Infowars appropriately refers to public schools as "youth internment centers" and "state run re-education gulags". Are parents willingly accepting less and less freedom for more and more so-called security?

"Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one."

DOJ declares mothers only good for broodmare status

So, according to the U.S. Department of Justice, we mothers are no longer necessary for the raising of children and children have no right to have a mother.

DOJ: Children Do Not Need--and Have No Right To--Mothers

I guess we mothers, in these United States of America, are now being relegated to broodmare status.

Unschooler hacks his way through education

Meet Dale Stephens, the unschooler who is hacking his way through education and loving it. He began unschooling at the end of fifth grade, has traveled the world and written a book (Hacking Your Education: Ditch the Lectures, Save Tens of Thousands, and Learn More Than Your Peers Ever Will), and he's only 21.

"My mom and dad have always been my biggest supporters. I think they both had parents who said no to them a lot. It surprises me how many parents just don't believe in their children."

Kudos to Dale. This is a great example of what can happen when schooling gets out of the way of education!
