Absolutely not. Homeschooling is necessary to preserve Christianity. Banning it would take away freedom of religion. Public school was terrible in the 1960s-1970s when I attended and has gone downhill ever since. They want to force all children into their indoctrination camps.
Oh my load What a pile of crap Okay, pause, hold the phone. ((((((YOu know when someone pulls white supremacy out of nowhere and makes no sence and has nothing to do with anything... yeah that's litterally just comunism. That is litterally comunistic indoctrination. Whenever you hear that crap, that dog wistle, it's comunism. It's the only thing that came up with that and it's in the training manual. It's litterally.... just look it up,. They do that for a reason. They are the only ones who do this particualr thing too, or close to it.)))))) You know what this really is about? what about charter schools Oh yeah, public schools don't like them WHy? Teacher's unions just want to have tenure nad sit on their butts.and probably be horrible people and abuse their students. They hate charter schools because they are better and don't produce stupid unedjucated black gangsters. Homeschool is probably the same issue and you know? The no test is crap They have testing you can go places and test people
Well, if you're a decent person, that's true. I've known a couple of people who did their kids a giant disservice by home schooling. MOST people who home school are excellent and produce great people.
@@Heather-xm9ul I've known more than a few teachers who had no busy teaching and yet were in charge of 25 kids for an entire year. We have to accept that every system that involves people will have failures, though we should at least try to mitigate those. Unfortunately, the district where I live has in excess of 60% of children that are at least 2 years behind in reading and math, though they are probably well ahead of their age in hearing stuff that used to get adults charged with contributing to child delinquency. Yet there is no standard for teachers or administrators who fail massive numbers of children and they get paid a living wage for doing so.
I definitely do not want my kids to be indoctrinated. We made the decision to homeschool my son this year. He has done FAR better and has learned so much more than he has in the many years he's been in the public system.
Ah yes as opposed to state or church influenced indoctrination a constant sheltering from the world/conflicting ideals and your own brand of indoctrination would be way better.
@@lyca0n535 idk if you’ve been to US public schools recently, or anytime over the last 30+ years, but they suck! The teachers are about 90% bums and the amount of time the kids waste is insane. 75% of their day is anything BUT educational. Idk why you have such a negative idea of homeschooling. Maybe it’s what the government or media has said about homeschooling? 🤷🏾♀️ You do know that the government and media lie to you about almost everything nowadays, right? I’d assume the opposite of whatever I heard or read from those sources. It’s okay to question the government and the media. Not sure if anyone ever gave you permission to do that, but I’m giving you permission to think for yourself now. Enjoy!
Income loss is the real reason. Schools lose funds when enrollment drops. I homeschooled my 3 children mostly for academic reasons. Most Public schools fail to educate.
@@bonnieingraham6147 It's far more about control and indoctrination. If public school attendance dropped 10% next year, you aren't getting a rebate on your property tax and no administrator will lose their job. Hillary Clinton said it years ago with her "It takes a village", and Biden said it more recently with "These are our children" comments. This is why they demand to shove radical gender and racial ideology down their throats. If they can philosophically separate children from their parents, the government by default becomes more powerful. It's about replacing the institution of the family with the institution of the government. I had a son taking a religion & philosophy class and his professor told the class that he only had a semester to undo all the religious training that their parents had done in 18 years.
@@bonnieingraham6147 Doesn't work that way. Whether you homeschool or not, you're paying tax into the school system - for everyone's benefit. The school systems don't lose a few dollars because net one kid no longer attends.
I have been homeschooling since 1995. I have seven children with the two youngest being 14 and 15 years old. We never even considered public schooling for any of my children. My husband and I sought the Lord, and homeschooling is where He led us. All of my adult children are excelling in the workplace and have leadership roles. Two purchased their own homes at 23 years old. I could go on and on about their accomplishments. My 15-year-old just graduated high school and is about to be enrolled in an online accredited college. It would require me to write a book to detail all the ways homeschooling has blessed me, my children, my family, and my marriage. I have no regrets. My best advice is to continually seek the Lord all the way through it.
What a wonderful testimony. We are just going on our 4th yr this coming schoolyear and I homeschool 3 kiddos (4th one is only 1). I am always encouraged when I read or watch seasoned families who have done it & how their children are thriving in the real world. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Amazing! I am planning on homeschooling my future kids (Lord willing) and hearing about your success is such an encouragement. God bless you and your husband for following the Lord’s lead and giving of yourself in this honorable way 👏🏻
@@ericnelson9100 We called the Human Resources departments of the top employers in our area and asked them if they accepted the online colleges. They said there is no difference in how they see them. "A degree is a degree." Your opinion may be different, but we have had no issues with their diplomas. One was the youngest in company history to be hired to manage the IT for two industrial plants and now works for Honeywell who just gave him two raises and two promotions in the last 6 months. The other manages production in a manufacturing facility. We just had another child purchase a house at only 24 years old. All of my working children have steadily been promoted. We are very happy with their level of success in the workplace and in life. Again, your opinion of online colleges may be different, but the top employers in our area (near Hampton Roads VA) are readily accepting those degrees.
@@andrew_owens7680 True Should be noted that in some cases like for those of us that went to christian brothers schools got a entirely different breed of indoctrination.Although i have more faith in the authenticity of secular state education system than the average conservative religious familial homeschooling In my country one fifth of child sexual abuse occurs withing the home, rest is primarily clergy,guards and distant family. School makes up 5% which isn't insignificant but at least there is some guarentee of oversight/punishment for those that perpetrate it I would also worry about how rife for abuse a institution given as little public oversight as homeschooling is.....There's a reason the christian brothers was so against sex ed and using the separation of church and state to prevent oversight during the scandals over here across the puddle....The beautiful ignorance of a child is a weapon used to inflict suffering on many of them The fact this lad went on to go on a full tirade about the constantly changed in translation of a poorly updated text of a bronze age arabic tribal society used to justify slavery and stoning to death of people for who they choose to love for near millennia doesn't breed confidence in his reasoning for homeschooling either. There are probably some benefits but "There isn't enough info on it" and the piss poor yank heavily redlined public schools average attainment compared to for profit education sucking just doesn't sway me
@@lyca0n535 You know who taught Fibonacci his mathematics and brought algebra to Europe? A "bronze age tribal society" which was only brought to its knees a little over a century ago. He needs to stop huffing Zionism and get an education himself. If he did, he'd find that Orthodox Jewish education is little different than Sharia education and that both are superior to Evangelical education which doesn't even pretend to have appreciation of intellect and literacy and all three are inferior to secularism. My children went to the best examples of public schools, some of the best in the country. They got an excellent education and I paid almost as much in taxes as it would have cost to send them to a private school. But I feel that they ended as well adjusted citizens that are ready to contribute. I wasn't trying to raise theocratic soldiers.
@@andrew_owens7680 Mathematics is not indoctrination. It's learning a skill. Education can be spun to indoctrinate, but there are some clearly base skill sets that can be taught without indoctrination.
Thanks for the video. I'm a former Homeschool Mom, my two children are now 33 years old and 35 years old. Whenever they tested out at the end of the school year they always were in the 90% . My daughter went to school for Veternairian Technician and received a special award for high achievement, a 4.0 grade average throughout the 2 year program. She has been working at the same clinic for over 10 years. My son got involved in Missionary work and was in Nepal, China ,Taiwan and Thailand. They are both very caring individuals . I believe in Homeschooling because no one has more interest in your child than you. And you don't get those young, informative years back.
It depends. Some make it other don't. My kid never liked school or eas good in school but went fast into another option as a electrician and makes more money than his cousin who had the 4.0 in medicine. He also has 0 student debts. The other one the doctor will spend a great portion of his very busy stressful life paying his student debts back. Your choice. It's not a competition. It doesn't matter as long as people do what they have to do to survive in this world. I never liker school and got a job in a office and in less than 3 years made more than my friend who is a university degree as a nurse clinician filled with student debts. It is a broken world. We thought a lot about kids and got them in our late 30s. In a multigenerational home with my parents splitting costs. Traveling first and advancing in our careers. Kids came last. We feel younger but I got all my friends who got them in their early 20s and early 30s and say they feel like they are in their 70s. Homeschooling is very personal. Having kids is very personal too. I fear for their future as the world is broken, climate changes a the fact there is no going back with our world. We should have adopted.
Wow imagine wanting to homeschool your children and not let the government train them for a life of yielding to their whims... Sorry, I meant 'give them a well rounded education'.. I'm an ex-teacher and can tell you two words that make homeschool superior when compared to a gov setting for quality learning regardless of indoctrination etc.. Those two words are: 'Contact time'
100% agree: In effect you can increase quality and acceleration of learning with 1 to 1 or small group whereas classroom size is usually too large, too divergent in attitude and aptitude and lecture size reducing quality of contact time per student ! Equally there's a lot of timetabling for the sake of timetabling and keeping the students busy whether or not that is suitable or supportive of their overall learning outcomes. Again totally counter-productive system.
@@joyforthejourney8 Fantastic! I actually branched into making lessons and resources for homeschool and school teachers (teachers are often who are far too busy to make quality resources themselves), so still contributing something, but it's frustrating not having enough contact time in a modern classroom when kids have individual needs. Homeschool is a hands-down winner when it comes to personalised learning. No comparison.
I am an EXPERT in this subject. I am a substitute teacher with about 6 years experience in 2 different states, Missouri and Florida. I have worked at HUNDREDS of various schools. Public schools are not much more than baby sitting services. Every classroom has several hooligans present. It only takes ONE hooligan to totally disrupt the teaching process. Teachers must CONSTANTLY spend a lot of time asking kids to "PUT YOUR CELLPHONES AWAY!" Kids put them away for 2 minutes... and RIGHT BACK out with them. What do they do on the cellphone? They watch sports, videogames, texting, and PORNO!!! Cellphones should be SMASHED right in front of the kid if caught on one. On top of that... every kid is given an I-PAD or other laptop. What do they do on that? The same thing they do on the cellphone. Any parent who sends their child to public school is doing damage to their own child. Home schooling can't be worse than public schools. Kids act like maniacs, punks and are totally out of control in most classrooms. If you send your kids to public school, you are deluded.
I absolutely agree with you. PUblic schools are glorified daycare centers. I live down the street from a public high school. I've walked over to it many times for various reasons and have NEVER heard a teacher speak. What I do hear is a bunch of kids just talking, yelling and screaming. No actual learning goes on there. Only chaos, and teaching kids perversion comes from the ps schools these days.
My wife is a 35 year experienced teacher, having taught 8th grade and now 5th grade for 15 years. She is in a minority in that she has always had control of her class from day 1. Very few have her heart for kids and heart for finding a way to educate all in her class the best she possibly can under the horrific public school wokeness. It can be done, but the great teachers are outnumbered to the point public education is an utter waste for most kids, even the brightest.
We “tried” public school for 6 months. It was a slap in the face. My girls turned into zombies overnight. I knew I’d lose them if we continued. 8 years into learning at home and we’ve never looked back!
You are a very good example of why homeschooling isn't automatically better. Are you still going to be praising god if your son gets sick due to a preventable illness because you were too ignorant to just get the vaccination? There's a very real possibility of measles and polio coming back because selfish people like you are making bad decisions that effect the rest of us.
Lucky to have accessed the info before harming your kid. my son was vaccine injured now autism with every disability to speak to learn to listen. I’m doing gluten free casein free trying to heal his gut. Homeschool and unvaccs people. I was ignorant didn’t know better. Wish someone would of warned me. It did open my eyes to what the government is doing. 😢
All of this is blown out the window, when you look at the recent pandemic. Basically two years of education that resulted in zero education. Those kids that were home schooled did not miss a beat.
Yeah, but this is where they started running into problems. Homeschooling wasn't a big enough thing that it was a threat to the powers that be. However, a much higher percentage of parents have changed their tactics and it's large enough numbers that this is borderline threatening to the powers that be. The worst thing that can happen to a school system is for parents to understand the depth of the failure within that system, withdraw their support, and then have that information and the discrepancies become public.
@@Papadoc1000 You are correct. And since the pandemic the schools have gone more woke and become worse at teaching the things that schools are supposed to be teaching, making parents even more inclined to pull their kiddos out. It's almost as if the politicians don't have any cognitive thinking skils themselves. 🤔
@@Papadoc1000 yes, I love the deluge of 'unintended consequences' the last few years are bringing about. You cannot control for all factors in ANY experiment. This is JUST DELIGHTFUL! :D
The pandemic was also when parents found out what their kids were "learning" in school. Parents were also working from home and in closer proximity so they could hear what's been taught.
Who would possibly ever think homeschooling is bad? I know alot of people that were homeschooled and they were much better kids for the most part and have a very good head on their shoulders. Nobody should send their kids to public school unless it's the last option.
@@Texas1987 Exactly. In Communist revolutions they always target the intelligntsia first -- people who have knowledge and know how to think and analyze are "dangerous", because they can inform, educate and warn others. They are not so easily indoctrinated, led and oppressed.
I know this to be fact. I’ve taught for going on year 40. It’s been public, private, juvenile prison, and I’ve homeschooled my 4 kids. We pass students without any questions. Those who wish to retain a student are usually given more grief and push back by admin and let’s not forget parents. Every child deserves a trophy, right? How dare you not give my child the trophy of promotion. I’m still teaching in public school and can attest to the fact that we are passing illiterate students from Kinder through 12th and “graduating” them from high school with little more than the fact they showed up enough to be eligible for graduation.
I homeschool my daughter and she is in the 90th percentile of math and reading , and I didn’t even graduate. That’s how east it is for a kid to excel in the proper environment.
You are so right. Kids are naturally built to learn. All we have to do is give them the safe environment and support. I was raised without an education and my kids are above average. God bless your path 🙏
Chinas reeducation camps, Native American reeducation schools. We have a common theme throughout history up to present. Forcing people to be indoctrinated into a specific singular belief does not end well, for that individual or society as a whole.
Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto. Best book. John was awarded Teacher of the Year in NY and taught for 30 years. A real eye opener of the business of schools and what is really taught.
@@newmamafulyou can get that one as a free pdf online. A lot of places. He wanted it that way. It's hard to get physical copies of the book because it's so expensive, except a bastardized edition in white saying Volume 1. Don't trust it at all.
Not a parent. But if i was i would homeschool. I learned nothing in public schools except to fear for my safety. What i did learn was stuff self taught.
In public school I learned to sit down and shut up. A public school teacher a few years ago told me that being bullied was a rite of passage and that everyone should be bullied. I think a vast majority of school teachers are the mean girls from their school days and have never matured beyond that point.
I was really on the fence about homeschooling when my wife brought it up but last year we pulled our kid out of fancy private school and joined a local homeschool co-op and the results are amazing. If you have the ability to homeschool your children, why would you not? It takes work, and even family can be skeptical at first, but in my experience it is far superior than any public school and significantly better than most private schools. I understand why Harvard elites might want to ban it. We are teaching our child how to think, not what to think. Nearly all corporate schools are doing the opposite, telling them what to think instead of how to think. Full disclosure, I have a BS in Economics with a minor in History from a state university and an MBA from a private university. My wife went to college on an athletic scholarship and is a lay coach at the most expensive private school in our state. Yet we choose to homeschool.
Imagine wanting your kids to spend their entire juvenile life learning how to be a perfect, expendable factory worker trained only to think one way with not a questioning bone in their body.
I have taught at a college for 20 years. Some of the best and well-adjusted students were homeschooled. The shade thrown at home schooling has a lot to do with the teachers union's political goals.
My children are both homeschooled and have been since they were born. They play in a band all over the community we live in. They are teaching my students who take lessons how to play well and feel confident playing with others. I would never want them to be indoctrinated in public schools.11 and 9 years old.
Read "Durable Trades", citing compulsory schooling. Public schools were instituted as factories to produce workers for the industrial revolution. When Massachusetts mandated compulsory schooling in 1852, the literacy rate dropped from 99% to 93%. For the first time since freedom-seeking pilgrims settled on American shores, it became illegal to educate one’s own children in the home. Non-compliant parents faced imprisonment, and many towns were “militarized when they refused to take their children out of their locally-run schools or home-schools and place them in the state-run, state-controlled institutions. In 1858 it took an invasion by the state militia to force the last holdouts in Barnstable, Massachusetts, to capitulate and release their children, who were then marched to school under armed guard. Sources: Turtel, Public Schools, Public Menace, 29-30. Hartmann, “Good German Schools Come to America,” para. 32. Gatto, The Underground History of American Education, 142. Wilson, “The Meaning of a Liberal Education,” para. 10.
Public schools were meant to only educate a child just enough to be able to work in the elites factories and also to teach the children how to be consumers of the products produced in the elites factories.
History is their greatest fear. Destroy it before others realize it's their playbook. It's the reason they are rewriting as much as possible as quickly as possible.
Wow, hadn't read that book. But I read enough John Taylor Gatto that I had the same visceral angry reaction to what you just shared and that he found out and put in his books.
I am a product of home school. I am a visually impaired student. And I had a lot of trouble being bullied. And teachers not helping me learn. They would say that I was there for socialization not learning to read. so, if my parents hadn’t taken me out of that environment and put me into homeschool never would have learned to read.
I have a sister in law who criticised my decision to homeschool, saying that kids need to be bullied. Her son turned out to be perpetually miserable. It's a pretty weird way to look at kids...
@@samiamnot8906 I would not worry about what your sister in law says. If your kids are doing better in homeschool, then your kids are better off who cares what anybody says. Studies show that kids who actually get the education they needed either in public private or homeschool, can get better jobs and have a much happier life. there are a lot of groups kids can join these days that can still give them friends even if they’re in homeschooling. Kids don’t have to be bullied
Here's some facts I can present that offer insight into this: 1. I have been a teacher in another nation. 2. In that nation the state schools promote MASSIVE government prop agenda (del. misp.) 3. Efficiency of learning is significantly low - the main perogative is to sit children between 4 walls and numb them so the tax-payers money can be signed off. Obviously there's variation between schools with some good ones but many many very ineffective schools 4. The curriculum is not balanced for life skills but excessively about examination. 5. As said there's excessive social indoctrination over actual intellectual advancement I've spoken with home-schoolers and the opportunities and potential for home-schooling is immense in terms of effectiveness and in terms of broadening learning and increasing the learning of functional skills for use in life. The main challenge of home schooling is social opportunity however solutions exist such as collaboration of home-schoolers as well as clubs and more. Also parents need to be able to understand the needs of the children and manage that along with making a living. Overall, there's massive deception that state education is the best option. It's not, it's a mass logistical operation and that takes precedence over the actual individual bespoke learning of each student which home-schooling is far more capable of providing in MOST schools. Finally, the West is secular and does not teach value systems in the useful way that religions provide. In fact they do the opposite and teach nonsense mantras and nostrums of secular origin eg the united nations that are a in effect social decay and deceptive to most people. It's better to provision your own value system be it Christian or Islamic or Buddhist etc.
I agree with every point you made but would caveat your last paragraph to emphasize that they do teach value systems that are beneficial to the system and the power structure that runs it. These would include value systems that are actually contrary to moral values that are family-centric and more in line with benefits to the power structure. They pretend to demand more inclusion and diversity of thought while rejecting anything that questions their own ideologies.
@@Papadoc1000 A simple way of putting that, I believe, is a lot of the secular western religion inserted into schools under the guise of "liberal values" or wooke (del. misp.) are: 1. Deliberately destruction to traditional value-systems 2. Maladaptive to individuals' natural life-cycle completion and fulfillment 3. Ultimately a component of social decay of current societies hastening that process I don't believe one can call them "True Values" which you'll find a lot of commonality across all religions that then integrate with the human condition. They're more akin to "Social Engineering" inserted from governments and originating in the U.N. coordinating a global change. In that sense you're right about power projection and control but they're not true value systems at all.
I also think they don’t realize that the work isn’t as hard as they fear it to be. It isn’t school at home. It’s more like “life school” in my experience. It takes so much less time!
And it doesn't even take much work at all. We just facilitate and the kids immerse themselves in their interests and become highly skilled, knowledgeable and productive.
By the time I reached 7th grade I had decided my kids would be homeschooled. Public school is a total waste of time and has damaged our society, perhaps beyond recovery.
Strange.... Of my three siblings who had kids, we had no teachers and only two college graduates. Cumulatively, we had 11 children who were all homeschooled, all but three who have gone on to successfully complete college, 4 went on to graduate school and all those now are married, have a home and careers, two of which are running their own business. One of the ones that didn't go to college is a welder who makes more than his cousins and the other two will be graduating HS in a year and have already been accepted to their first choice college. I'll stack that against any similar family of that size from a public school, including Erin O'Donnell who wrote the article that really hasn't aged well since it was written at the beginning of Covid. And I'll take up that same relative challenge for any of the 200ish homeschool families that I've become familiar with.
Watch them in college. My only one that went to college became an atheist and then a extreme progressive , then estranged himself from the rest of the family only to decide he is now transgender at age 37. We found out online. Pray over your kids and see if they might be better off in a non college career.
Just asked my 12 year old grandchild what he learned this past school year. Answer: really nothing, most of the time we have to wait for the slow kids to catch up. Yeah for public school🙈🙉🙊
Wow. Much respect to you. You have a great channel with great points. I appreciate this video and disagree with banning anything that gives good "free people" time to educate their children. Most articles add big names with big opinions to make them carry weight. (Op😃)
Thanks for the video, my thoughts: Homeschooling allows the opportunity of children to be raised without the possibility of negative dampening by outside societal construct(consider classroom hierarchies, teachers who are strangers to the parents) beyond their home. In comparison with a great deal of animal species, the young from an infant age spend extreme proximity to their parents, ex. birds of all kinds, dogs, felines, hippos, deer, mice, badgers, raccoons. The progeny of these animals do not frolic alone without Mother or Father nearby and rarely leave their care until they can properly sustain, feed, mate and fledge for themselves, what we humans call adulthood. The clause of children starting their days constantly away from their parents and home for great hours at a time and having to fend for themselves without Mom/Dads there to take after, supplemented by the company of strangers makes an attractive gesturing of home-school's benefits toward well being, peace of mind and right development within the suited comforts of home. It is quite well known humans develop the least slowly of any species(in terms of brain cognition), with reason and decision making not reaching excellence until as late as 25 years. Children are great mimickers and learners, being closer to mom and dad, being situated at home where they have a comfortable place to grow and thrive allows them to center their development after all of the genes they've inherited and innately follow. We don't have to be like everyone else, a value we collectively embrace. A child is more likely to follow and take after their parents as its in their blood; homeschooling is an epicenter towards this vein. How critical is it that children are within means to watch and follow their parent's ways, as we already know how important it is to boys and girls who unfortunately grow up with a missing father or mother at home. Even if their homeschooling's teachers are not their parents, children being within the midst of their home provides reassurance and comfort, perhaps allows them to associate better the things they learn with the values of home and family; which they may take onto their own great years later as an adult. There is almost a disconnection between public school, the child and their parents' teachings and way of life, homeschooling is a great way to encompass the dynamics of learning to the child's world: their home. I am no expert on these subjects and this is merely a perspective. Good day to you.
The world has turned upside down..what was right is now wrong and wrongs now right….we truly are living in a looney bin…if anything I do believe that we are better off without the societal influences that are in the public school system …one shoe does not fit everyone..personally my belief is that they are more well rounded especially the basics of homesteading and the list goes on and on each family should have the right to decide for themselves…KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR PERSONAL LIVES…thank you for bringing this to light very sad but obviously true…stay blessed…
I homeschooled my children years ago. My youngest son was never in any kind of school whatsoever. My 5 year old grandson is in preschool now and they have labeled him a girl. They are treating him like a girl and told him his pronoun is "she"".
Both our kids were partially homeschooled. One graduated with a BSc. & is a dental hygienist and the other one became a plumber. Both are very well adjusted adults and reflect on their HS experience as favourable.
My son was homeschooled during his high school age. He loved it! He had freedom and time to pursue other activities. When exam time he exceeded all our expectations with all A* results.
Saints, pray against this and that her mouth be stopped. Get involved with HSLDA and learn your local government's views on this and follow any legislation concerning education. The gates of hell will not prevail.
As a former homeschooler and current private school teacher I definitely support homeschooling. I can understand why people are scared of it though when they see things like the new documentary that was put out (haven’t seen it but heard stories). I think that what people need to understand is that every education system can be abused. I think there are great educators in public schools, private schools, and homeschools and people should have the freedom to choose what’s best for them. Also, even though people homeschool often to help their kids learn their own values (like I was) I definitely learned to think for myself and not just accept everything I was told. Maybe that’s not the case for every homeschooler but it definitely was for me.
This is spot on! Thank you for bringing light to an important subject, Chad. I am certain the enemy of our souls is coming for our children. The best way to do so is first to isolate them from their parents. Then every manner of evil can begin. Praying for the children of our nation ❤
Thank you for confronting this issue. This is an anti-Christian movement. We homeschoolers just want our kids to actually learn what they need to be functional adults.
On a Federal basis for sure. I'm not as sure about that from a state level. State law governs a lot about education, and that is likely the place where homeschooling is at the most risk in leftist states. I'm not even concerned about it coming from a majority of the people, as I don't think the majority of citizens of any state are opposed to homeschooling. My concern is that state legislators and courts will attack it and the majority of citizens don't care enough or are willing to defer to "the experts".
I went through public school and managed to graduate high school without knowing how to do fraction to decimal conversions, the reverse, or understand fractions. I had to teach myself math when I was older also. It was actually homeschooling that helped me find good resources to learn math.
Yes, we might have children running around with minds that have not been fried...zis is a travesty!!! I met a homeschooled young man once and he was the most adjusted individual I have ever met or at least here in CA.
I , along with my partner were MASSIVELY BULLIED in elementary and high school. Abused and beatened by a elementary school teacher and bullied by highschoolers without any students help. I will never EVER put my kids if I have them in school! There are home schooling programs with a online teacher or online courses. Then in college or university(higher maturity and awareness levels present) they decided if they want to go in. It is a personal choice and it is no ones business to judge. We also live in a sick broken world. People have kids selfishly without thinking, put them in daycare ET VOILÀ! rid of them. If you can't afford them or to be a syay at home mom or dad who properly raise your kids then do not have them. Adult now I am on several medication and I wish I had never went to elementary and highschool ever.
I love it. As a homeschooling, Traditional Catholic, please keep on doing what you're doing, man. I'm specifically commenting to help with your engagement metric. We need the Word out there.
Im married to a public school teacher. The defenses he puts up when public schools come under fire are PATHETIC. Once this adoption is complete, I fully intend to yank both kids out of the core curriculum. I'm extorted to fund the institutions, so my kids can, and likely will, use the school electives and sports. My kifs deserve better than the main stream.
Our "7th grader" homeschool son is enrolled in the engineering program at the University. Because he scored a 92 on the college entrance exam. Over five academic years ahead of his peers. He's biracial. We absolutely are opposed to Marxist identity politics.
I home educate in New South Wales, Australia. We have had 3 children at schools at various times. One is neurologically diverse & 2 local primary schools were non-compliant with legal obligations around disability. The other 2 would have done ok, & originally I found the staff responsive & helpful in navigating around things my children weren't allowed to participate in & with which we had a right to keep our kids out of. Once covid hit parents were completely shut out of schools & it was increasingly difficult to communicate effectively. I am now in a group of home educators in my region (county). It is mind boggling the number of women (myself included) who were teachers or teachers aides who are seriously disenfranchised with the public school system or were outrightly horrified by what they witnessed going on, resigned & took their kids out. While some of the parents seem very slack & their kids may be behind, we are experiencing such a lack of teaching staff that kids are split out of their class frequently & aren't receiving proper instruction IN schools. Publicly available data shows that the system is very broken & our kids deserve better. There has been a 30% jump in home school numbers since 'remote learning' during Covid lockdowns. You'd have to be doing nothing for your kids to be worse off. We are legally required to register & have a learning program approved that is based on the State curriculum. You can design your own or pay for one. I was held to a higher standard than local schools. If they can't find staff to teach something they can just not do it, like specialist music/arts/PE but I have to regardless of skill. My children have more opportunity to do things that we simply couldn't have done if they were at a school.
The problem with the discussion is that people on both sides compare the best with the worst. The best of public school vs the worst of homeschool and the other way around. Homeschooling might be ideal for some while for others not so much. Even within families one child might excel at homeschool while another might be better in a classroom. The problem is when it comes to education there is not a one sized fits all for every child. I agree we should be free to put our child where we feel it’s best for them, as well as be able to listen to criticism of our chosen method for a particular child so we can change course and put them in the best situation to thrive.
I have 4 adult children, all homeschooled. All 4 are free thinkers, self starters, ambitious, loving, compassionate citizens. They have many friends. My daughter is a CPA, two of our sons are employees of our family business and are high earners. I absolutely loved the experience!
For this coming school year in August 2023, my son will "study abroad" for fourth grade in my wife's hometown in Asia. We got an opportunity to travel there, and my son's public school in northern California made the decision easy--way, way, way too much focus on sexuality and racial angst. Not sure if I will re-enroll him when he comes back. Homeschool may be a good idea. I think I'll take your idea of emphasizing Bible stories.
In Canada they were saying it was ok for parents to homeschool their kids then arresting them and taking them to jail. Expect to see that here soon. Unless we fight like hell.
I'm an interpreter, and I happen to know that here in America, anyway, many public school kids just stay home and no one ever gets dragged back to school.There's pressure on the parent(s), but no one takes the kids if they are well fed, well behaved, not abused, go through the motions, play the game, but ultimatedly don't comply. [One could also just ask for an 'online curriculum' saying the child gets anxious and distracted in group settings, or some other silly jargon. Then speed through the pablum with parents pointing out the stupidity, then spend the rest of the time actually leaning.] Yeah, they want to talk to the parents, they try to figure out what's wrong with the kids, but I happen to know of a family where both of the kids, middle school and above just hate their schools and don't/won't go. They haven't been for most of the school year. So why not just tell the government nothing at all, and let them think you're just a lazy parent who is allowing your kids to be truant and uneducated, while secretly homeschooling them on the side and telling the kids to never let the schools know it.
Education in itself should not be geared towards making a person only academically sharp. Education is rounded, from sociological to academical and everything in between. Home school does excellent at that. Contributing from 🇬🇭 Ghana
A fellow Ghanaian, why do you think homeschooling is not popular in Ghana. If my husband will agree, I would have homeschooled our kids. Thankfully one goes to a very reformed Christian missionary school called RAFIKI, the other is autistic and goes to mainstream even though I had argued to homeschool her. By the way are you vested or have experience in the Ghanaian education system?
@@addjoaprekobaah5914 Yes Adjoa, we actually ran a school, preschool, primary and JHS at our home. So our biological kids are somehow receiving home tuition. Parents who also have seen the positive impact of this kind of schooling have maintained their kids. The school is registered, yes. But the training the kids receive have the oversight of parents/teachers who have a heart for their kids.
My wife and I decided to do a mix of both - so for the first semester our kids go to public school, and we withdraw them for the second one, so they are homeschooled at that time. In my head that gives them a comparison of two systems as well as an alternative view to mine and my wife's. Our kids are happy in both "systems", and as long as we control what goes in their heads from "public", we're happy to give them a broader views. My wife is upset with hard pressing of technology starting pre-K, and we both agree that screen time for young age should be VERY limited, as close to zero as possible, which creates a countless conflicts with school, since they want my (and everybodyelse's) kids staring into the screens 24/7.
As a homeschool parent I can say that she has ABSOLUTELY no clue of what she’s speaking about . All of her arguments are based on common stereotypes that people hold when they’ve never learned about what a homeschool education is about.
My only child is a 15-year-old schnauzer. As a former adult education teacher of teenage moms, I have an interest in learning. I would have liked some information about the GED scores of homeschooled students. Not long back I read that often homeschooled kids' GED scores are very good to excellent. Would have also liked to see info on how well homeschooled kids adapt to college. Nevertheless, I loved how you tied this subject to Bible prophecy.
Of course, the biggest question about your question is, what exactly do you mean by "adapt"? There are many things that can be adapted to, some good, some less good, and some things that are even seriously dangerous. Some people think that adapting means joining a frat, partying, and being on academic probation the first year or two. As a college housing landlord of about 100 per year over the last 25 years, I have seen a lot of them come and go and develop, generally over the course of about 3 years each on average. I got to know most of them on a first-name basis and we'd often talk about life and philosophy, and they'd often seek out paternal-style advice about a range of things. Dropouts among formerly homeschooled kids were about 90% less than their public school counterparts and while I never kept records on it, I'd say they graduated somewhere between 1-2 semesters earlier. I know one thing for sure, and that is as a landlord, I would snatch up an incoming group of former homeschool students over anyone else in a heartbeat. Not that the former didn't make mistakes or have issues, but I had almost no property or behavior issues and no damage from former homeschool students. Former homeschooled girls were maybe 3x more likely to get married during college and leave the college rental, though unlike their public school counterparts, I never had one drop out because she got pregnant.
@@Papadoc1000 Seems like you answered your own question as to how "well" homeschooled kids adapt to college life. You answered in a manner that falls into line with my thinking as well. Thank you.
TL:DR: NY State requires standardized tests for homeschool kids, and they crush it every year. Yay! Go Team Homeschool! Wooo! LONG: We are a secular homeschool family in NY State. We have a small homestead, and our son has been homeschooled from pre-k through 4th grade. He's doing great. Needs to work on his spelling, but he's finally getting it after months of darn hard work on both our parts. I'm a former art teacher; I didn't last long in public education, but I still fully support the system itself, though it needs major overhauls in so many ways. Within the local homeschool community, we have roughly 60% who are Christian of some flavor, and homeschool because of that reason. Most of them are really nice people who want to raise their kids away from the massive drug and violence issues in public schools (hard same my friends, hard same). About 20% are secular homeschoolers of some kind or other (that's us), so it may be meeting special needs, following interests, twice gifted, adventurous spirits, or any number of other great reasons. The remaining 10% were unfortunately caught up in NY's required vaccination mandate, and were essentially pushed out of public schools into homeschooling in 2019 (bad timing). We all did our best for them, but homeschooling needs to be a choice, not a non-choice, and that was rough all around. Worse is that now the entire homeschool community has ended up with a reputation as anti-vaxxers, which is like 'what did you expect when you kicked them out of public school?' In all the years I've been homeschooling I've met TWO white supremacist homeschooling families, and both were quickly blacklisted & blocked from most groups. I'm not saying there aren't more, and lord knows people have their prejudices, but the homeschool community isn't exactly crawling with camo-wearing paramilitary gun bunnies. We probably have too many baking soda & vinegar science experiments... and our life of crime includes accidentally staining the picnic tables in the park with food coloring while looking at fluid dynamics and going off trail to look at an interesting tree. Woops. But realistically it's book reports, hiking, microbiology, piano lessons & telling the co-op Zoom meeting to mute or unmute. Standardized test scores don't lie. My son tested at and above grade level consistently, and significantly higher than the students in the local public school (averaged, which I know isn't fair, because that's an average and his is individual, but if he got that low he'd be put on academic probation). He is essentially privately tutored, as are most homeschooled children. A private tutor education is going to be better than a public school classroom education. He doesn't have to sit with his hand up in the air for 10 minutes waiting to ask his question, and then the bell rings and it never gets answered. He has someone to tailor his education to his needs at all times. He gets to go places and meet people and see things that I never got to do (I do now!)... The standards of acceptable behavior are high. Homeschooled kids are /highly socialized/ and parents often have a hard time keeping up. But if your kid is mean, you don't get invited back. Public schools MUST education ALL enrolled students; and what that means is that "teachers have no reasonable expectation of safety in public school classrooms" and that is a direct quote from a lawyer representing a district after a 6 year old student shot a teacher in the chest. So, Harvard Lady... ppppbbbbtttt. But seriously, my kid is doing better than his PS peers. So are the rest of the kids in his secular science-focused co-op. So are most of the kids who use the Christian curriculums. That's according to the NYS required standardized tests, which ALL homeschooled children are required to take from grades 4-8 every-other year and grades 9-12 every year. So yes, we do know that they do better than their PS peers, quantifiably. Also, the regulations aren't hard to follow. NY is one of the highest regulated states, and it's literally NBD. People are scared of it, and it's just not that difficult. Thanks for the video. Here's to raising good kids, no matter how you choose to educate them.
I'm aware that 90% is not 100%, the other 10% is a mix of a lot of different reasons, and don't easily fit in any of the 3 main groups of homeschoolers in NYS.
I have no issues with homeschooling if the parents have the skills, the resources, and the time to do so. But thats little consolation to the vastly larger numbers of poor and disadvantaged working class people whose parents work to support themselves and their kids financially and don't have the time or energy to teach their kids at home.
Every filthy rich parent ever would (and does!) give their kids a private tutor. Because they understand the simple intuition that personalized education is better than one-size-fits-all education. So why doesn't everyone homeschool given the chance? Well, because parents either believe they aren't qualified to teach, and/or because both parents think having a career for themselves is the pinnacle of life satisfaction. With the regards to the former, I would argue that the "skill" of teaching in a public school is the "skill" of teaching from a rigid curriculum to a large group of kids, and the inherent challenges of managing 20 kids at once. I frankly don't put much stock in that. To the latter I'd say that my children's well being is more important to me and my wife than our career prestige. We actually like being with our kids, not just pawning them off on other people whenever we can get away with it. Since we don't strictly require dual-incomes to get by, my wife stays home with our kids and home schools, and I have far more faith in her (and our) ability to teach to my kids personal needs than I do in the public school system. Especially thinking back on the many teachers I had as a public school student.
Many areas unfortunately have very bad public schools, both urban and rural. Its my right to provide my child an environment safe from bullying, overbearing school rules, and underfunded resources
The reference to Germany is to be seen as a quiet nod to the fact that the post modernist ideology propagated by the Frankfurt school. Down with the extreme ideology of postmodernism full stop
Homeschooling was banned in Germany in 1919. The same Germany that just finished giving us WWI totalitarianism and the year before the Nazi Party became active. I think this is not a great model to build on.
I remember learning in public school that Ab Lincoln was homeschooled and grew up brilliant. Also, having two Masters and a bachelors in Electrical Engineering Technology, I have reflected on much taught me in first 12 years was useless. I agree with Elon Musk, our public education system is terrible.
As a kid who was homeschooled by a family in the IBLP cult, it makes me so sad how many parents are against oversight that can prevent abuse. Almost all the other homeschoolers I knew then and have met as an adult were from religious fundamentalist families with an isolationist bent. A vast majority of us want more oversight to prevent abuse. Why don't the parents want oversight and the best for all homeschooled kids?
If the parents are capable and well-organized, it is such a blessing. The kids that I know who are homeschool are far smarter and more practical that I was at their age. I attended public school when it was relatively decent. However, if parents are not pratiencevor or adept in teacing (and many are not), or the work burden is too overwhelming, this might not be an option. It is alarming that the Liberals and Super Conservatives have push their own faulty agendas.
The bottom line is that all systems can have failures. However, for every homeschool parent who does a less than admirable job, I can show you a worthless public school that fails 500 kids all at once. I live in a city where 60% of the students read at least 2 years lower than their grade level and similarly at math. Also, while I do know a few adults whose parents did a lousy job of homeschooling, even by their own standards, one thing that they didn't learn was to be a lifelong victim or that someone else was keeping them down. They self-educated and the least of these still got an associate's degree while several others even went on to get a Master's or Ph.D. All have gone on to homeschool their own kids, so despite their parents having failed, they decided to do it and do it better.
@@Papadoc1000 That's the crucial measure where state schools fail SO MANY kids and responsibility is made DIFFUCE ie parents think education is taken care of but it's not in many cases. Also, on the positive, home-school has much wider scope to teach practical life skills apart from or in addition to academic-focus. That to me is also the other massive potential possible.
@@Papadoc1000 Good, solid observation you make, but unless you have had a parent with mental illness or are a single parent working 2 jobs to make ends meet, there needs to be other options than homeschool for these. Ray Moore who who pioneered the home school movement admitted that there are parents who couldn't do it because of emotional problems or inadequate training.
I love that you can even discuss about this. Homeschooling is not available in my country, only under strict rules, but they would not allow anyone easy on that route as parents are being 'supervised', oh I mean just their kids are being weighed? Oh yeah they are supervised.. since they ask a bunch of questions from sleeping in the same room to a what your child eats and give so called 'advice' about everything. Lots of bad advice. And then school age comes up and they get very pushy and basically if you do not comply will be in a trouble with many institutions. So really, I so wished to have homeschooling available here.
Home schooling is like anything else, if done right, you get success. Home schooled our youngest, because of shite the teachers were doing, very dysfunctional. ☘️
The failure of public school is their slow degradation which is pushing people for homeschooling. I will never take homeschooling as an option so it will either have to private or schools outside the US
2:00 nice to see comments from someone who is not homeschooling! :) In Poland we have an explosion of homeschooling, and conservative Christians are totally invisible in this crowd. These are mostly kids with passion, sportsmen, artists, and also kids tormented at school with diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. The explosion was so rapid, that subsidies transferred via local authority could not keep up leading to a serious breakdown :)
Who remembers what they learned in regular school? After 13 years of schooling I learned how to avoid bullying by taking on a bad persona. I also learned that it would be stupid of me to send my kids to school so they are homeschooled, balanced characters, thriving and happy.
Yes. In my country it's illegal, everyone goes to school, no ifs and or buts about it. And for the blonde women, yes, we do have religious studies, mainly focusing on Christianity and its history. The only say parents have is for their children's performance, bullying from other kids, and if there is an abusive teacher at school.
@@maroonmaroonmaroon2985 It's a mandatory lesson at High School here, and yes, a lab is involved, but the professor handles the chemicals and the vials.

Absolutely not. Homeschooling is necessary to preserve Christianity. Banning it would take away freedom of religion. Public school was terrible in the 1960s-1970s when I attended and has gone downhill ever since. They want to force all children into their indoctrination camps.
Oh my load
What a pile of crap
Okay, pause, hold the phone.
((((((YOu know when someone pulls white supremacy out of nowhere and makes no sence and has nothing to do with anything... yeah that's litterally just comunism. That is litterally comunistic indoctrination. Whenever you hear that crap, that dog wistle, it's comunism. It's the only thing that came up with that and it's in the training manual. It's litterally.... just look it up,. They do that for a reason. They are the only ones who do this particualr thing too, or close to it.))))))
You know what this really is about?
what about charter schools
Oh yeah, public schools don't like them
WHy?
Teacher's unions just want to have tenure nad sit on their butts.and probably be horrible people and abuse their students.
They hate charter schools because they are better and don't produce stupid unedjucated black gangsters.
Homeschool is probably the same issue
and you know?
The no test is crap
They have testing
you can go places and test people
The only risk of homeschooling is producing decent humans with critical thinking skills.
And your children will appreciate you more. That's a big problem too.
💯 right on the dot
Well, if you're a decent person, that's true. I've known a couple of people who did their kids a giant disservice by home schooling. MOST people who home school are excellent and produce great people.
@@Heather-xm9ul I've known more than a few teachers who had no busy teaching and yet were in charge of 25 kids for an entire year. We have to accept that every system that involves people will have failures, though we should at least try to mitigate those. Unfortunately, the district where I live has in excess of 60% of children that are at least 2 years behind in reading and math, though they are probably well ahead of their age in hearing stuff that used to get adults charged with contributing to child delinquency. Yet there is no standard for teachers or administrators who fail massive numbers of children and they get paid a living wage for doing so.
Amen 🙏
I definitely do not want my kids to be indoctrinated. We made the decision to homeschool my son this year. He has done FAR better and has learned so much more than he has in the many years he's been in the public system.
Ah yes as opposed to state or church influenced indoctrination a constant sheltering from the world/conflicting ideals and your own brand of indoctrination would be way better.
@@lyca0n535 idk if you’ve been to US public schools recently, or anytime over the last 30+ years, but they suck! The teachers are about 90% bums and the amount of time the kids waste is insane. 75% of their day is anything BUT educational. Idk why you have such a negative idea of homeschooling. Maybe it’s what the government or media has said about homeschooling? 🤷🏾♀️ You do know that the government and media lie to you about almost everything nowadays, right? I’d assume the opposite of whatever I heard or read from those sources. It’s okay to question the government and the media. Not sure if anyone ever gave you permission to do that, but I’m giving you permission to think for yourself now. Enjoy!
@@lyca0n535 Your words suggest very angry and judgemental feelings and the harboring of a lot of prejudices. I hope you can work that out someday.
@@Papadoc1000 Seriously! What’s this creepy need to control how someone else raises their children??
Homeschool momma to another love hearing this! It's not easy, but it's worth these moments and seeing our children thrive and be happy!
If homeschooling takes hold, they lose control and income.
Income loss is the real reason. Schools lose funds when enrollment drops. I homeschooled my 3 children mostly for academic reasons. Most Public schools fail to educate.
@@bonnieingraham6147 It's far more about control and indoctrination. If public school attendance dropped 10% next year, you aren't getting a rebate on your property tax and no administrator will lose their job. Hillary Clinton said it years ago with her "It takes a village", and Biden said it more recently with "These are our children" comments. This is why they demand to shove radical gender and racial ideology down their throats. If they can philosophically separate children from their parents, the government by default becomes more powerful. It's about replacing the institution of the family with the institution of the government. I had a son taking a religion & philosophy class and his professor told the class that he only had a semester to undo all the religious training that their parents had done in 18 years.
Bingo!
So you are saying the government should let anybody have sex and raise a kid with no law intervention? That sounds like child imprisonment.
@@bonnieingraham6147 Doesn't work that way. Whether you homeschool or not, you're paying tax into the school system - for everyone's benefit. The school systems don't lose a few dollars because net one kid no longer attends.
I have been homeschooling since 1995. I have seven children with the two youngest being 14 and 15 years old. We never even considered public schooling for any of my children. My husband and I sought the Lord, and homeschooling is where He led us. All of my adult children are excelling in the workplace and have leadership roles. Two purchased their own homes at 23 years old. I could go on and on about their accomplishments. My 15-year-old just graduated high school and is about to be enrolled in an online accredited college. It would require me to write a book to detail all the ways homeschooling has blessed me, my children, my family, and my marriage. I have no regrets. My best advice is to continually seek the Lord all the way through it.
What a wonderful testimony. We are just going on our 4th yr this coming schoolyear and I homeschool 3 kiddos (4th one is only 1). I am always encouraged when I read or watch seasoned families who have done it & how their children are thriving in the real world. Thank you for sharing! 😊
Amazing! I am planning on homeschooling my future kids (Lord willing) and hearing about your success is such an encouragement. God bless you and your husband for following the Lord’s lead and giving of yourself in this honorable way 👏🏻
Wow!🎉
An online accredited college; I really don't think that's the plug you think it to be! Have your children taken SATs or ACTs?
@@ericnelson9100 We called the Human Resources departments of the top employers in our area and asked them if they accepted the online colleges. They said there is no difference in how they see them. "A degree is a degree." Your opinion may be different, but we have had no issues with their diplomas. One was the youngest in company history to be hired to manage the IT for two industrial plants and now works for Honeywell who just gave him two raises and two promotions in the last 6 months. The other manages production in a manufacturing facility. We just had another child purchase a house at only 24 years old. All of my working children have steadily been promoted. We are very happy with their level of success in the workplace and in life. Again, your opinion of online colleges may be different, but the top employers in our area (near Hampton Roads VA) are readily accepting those degrees.
It must be banned so kids become properly indoctrinated and learn to only think as instructed.
Indoctrinated? All education is indoctrination. You just don't want them to have the STANDARD indoctrination.
@@andrew_owens7680 True
Should be noted that in some cases like for those of us that went to christian brothers schools got a entirely different breed of indoctrination.Although i have more faith in the authenticity of secular state education system than the average conservative religious familial homeschooling
In my country one fifth of child sexual abuse occurs withing the home, rest is primarily clergy,guards and distant family. School makes up 5% which isn't insignificant but at least there is some guarentee of oversight/punishment for those that perpetrate it I would also worry about how rife for abuse a institution given as little public oversight as homeschooling is.....There's a reason the christian brothers was so against sex ed and using the separation of church and state to prevent oversight during the scandals over here across the puddle....The beautiful ignorance of a child is a weapon used to inflict suffering on many of them
The fact this lad went on to go on a full tirade about the constantly changed in translation of a poorly updated text of a bronze age arabic tribal society used to justify slavery and stoning to death of people for who they choose to love for near millennia doesn't breed confidence in his reasoning for homeschooling either. There are probably some benefits but "There isn't enough info on it" and the piss poor yank heavily redlined public schools average attainment compared to for profit education sucking just doesn't sway me
@@lyca0n535 You know who taught Fibonacci his mathematics and brought algebra to Europe? A "bronze age tribal society" which was only brought to its knees a little over a century ago. He needs to stop huffing Zionism and get an education himself. If he did, he'd find that Orthodox Jewish education is little different than Sharia education and that both are superior to Evangelical education which doesn't even pretend to have appreciation of intellect and literacy and all three are inferior to secularism.
My children went to the best examples of public schools, some of the best in the country. They got an excellent education and I paid almost as much in taxes as it would have cost to send them to a private school. But I feel that they ended as well adjusted citizens that are ready to contribute. I wasn't trying to raise theocratic soldiers.
@@lyca0n535 thanks for sharing your bigotry
@@andrew_owens7680 Mathematics is not indoctrination. It's learning a skill. Education can be spun to indoctrinate, but there are some clearly base skill sets that can be taught without indoctrination.
Thanks for the video. I'm a former Homeschool Mom, my two children are now 33 years old and 35 years old. Whenever they tested out at the end of the school year they always were in the 90% . My daughter went to school for Veternairian Technician and received a special award for high achievement, a 4.0 grade average throughout the 2 year program. She has been working at the same clinic for over 10 years. My son got involved in Missionary work and was in Nepal, China ,Taiwan and Thailand. They are both very caring individuals . I believe in Homeschooling because no one has more interest in your child than you. And you don't get those young, informative years back.
It depends. Some make it other don't. My kid never liked school or eas good in school but went fast into another option as a electrician and makes more money than his cousin who had the 4.0 in medicine. He also has 0 student debts. The other one the doctor will spend a great portion of his very busy stressful life paying his student debts back. Your choice. It's not a competition. It doesn't matter as long as people do what they have to do to survive in this world. I never liker school and got a job in a office and in less than 3 years made more than my friend who is a university degree as a nurse clinician filled with student debts. It is a broken world. We thought a lot about kids and got them in our late 30s. In a multigenerational home with my parents splitting costs. Traveling first and advancing in our careers. Kids came last. We feel younger but I got all my friends who got them in their early 20s and early 30s and say they feel like they are in their 70s. Homeschooling is very personal. Having kids is very personal too. I fear for their future as the world is broken, climate changes a the fact there is no going back with our world. We should have adopted.
Wow imagine wanting to homeschool your children and not let the government train them for a life of yielding to their whims... Sorry, I meant 'give them a well rounded education'.. I'm an ex-teacher and can tell you two words that make homeschool superior when compared to a gov setting for quality learning regardless of indoctrination etc.. Those two words are:
'Contact time'
100% agree: In effect you can increase quality and acceleration of learning with 1 to 1 or small group whereas classroom size is usually too large, too divergent in attitude and aptitude and lecture size reducing quality of contact time per student ! Equally there's a lot of timetabling for the sake of timetabling and keeping the students busy whether or not that is suitable or supportive of their overall learning outcomes. Again totally counter-productive system.
I am a former teacher and now a homewchool mom, going into our third year. I agree!
@@joyforthejourney8 Fantastic! I actually branched into making lessons and resources for homeschool and school teachers (teachers are often who are far too busy to make quality resources themselves), so still contributing something, but it's frustrating not having enough contact time in a modern classroom when kids have individual needs. Homeschool is a hands-down winner when it comes to personalised learning. No comparison.
I am an EXPERT in this subject. I am a substitute teacher with about 6 years experience in 2 different states, Missouri and Florida. I have worked at HUNDREDS of various schools. Public schools are not much more than baby sitting services. Every classroom has several hooligans present. It only takes ONE hooligan to totally disrupt the teaching process. Teachers must CONSTANTLY spend a lot of time asking kids to "PUT YOUR CELLPHONES AWAY!" Kids put them away for 2 minutes... and RIGHT BACK out with them. What do they do on the cellphone? They watch sports, videogames, texting, and PORNO!!! Cellphones should be SMASHED right in front of the kid if caught on one. On top of that... every kid is given an I-PAD or other laptop. What do they do on that? The same thing they do on the cellphone. Any parent who sends their child to public school is doing damage to their own child. Home schooling can't be worse than public schools. Kids act like maniacs, punks and are totally out of control in most classrooms. If you send your kids to public school, you are deluded.
I absolutely agree with you. PUblic schools are glorified daycare centers. I live down the street from a public high school. I've walked over to it many times for various reasons and have NEVER heard a teacher speak. What I do hear is a bunch of kids just talking, yelling and screaming. No actual learning goes on there. Only chaos, and teaching kids perversion comes from the ps schools these days.
The laptop can also be school property so cannot smash it.

My wife is a 35 year experienced teacher, having taught 8th grade and now 5th grade for 15 years. She is in a minority in that she has always had control of her class from day 1. Very few have her heart for kids and heart for finding a way to educate all in her class the best she possibly can under the horrific public school wokeness. It can be done, but the great teachers are outnumbered to the point public education is an utter waste for most kids, even the brightest.
We “tried” public school for 6 months. It was a slap in the face. My girls turned into zombies overnight. I knew I’d lose them if we continued. 8 years into learning at home and we’ve never looked back!
Happy homeschooling mom here, my son is Vax free, smart and healthy. Glory to God 🙏🏼❤️
Great job, Mama!
Let’s add and a doctors that accepts them being vax free because that’s an issue now too unfortunately
Praise God!!! 🇱🇷
You are a very good example of why homeschooling isn't automatically better. Are you still going to be praising god if your son gets sick due to a preventable illness because you were too ignorant to just get the vaccination? There's a very real possibility of measles and polio coming back because selfish people like you are making bad decisions that effect the rest of us.
Lucky to have accessed the info before harming your kid. my son was vaccine injured now autism with every disability to speak to learn to listen. I’m doing gluten free casein free trying to heal his gut. Homeschool and unvaccs people. I was ignorant didn’t know better. Wish someone would of warned me. It did open my eyes to what the government is doing. 😢
All of this is blown out the window, when you look at the recent pandemic. Basically two years of education that resulted in zero education. Those kids that were home schooled did not miss a beat.
Yeah, but this is where they started running into problems. Homeschooling wasn't a big enough thing that it was a threat to the powers that be. However, a much higher percentage of parents have changed their tactics and it's large enough numbers that this is borderline threatening to the powers that be. The worst thing that can happen to a school system is for parents to understand the depth of the failure within that system, withdraw their support, and then have that information and the discrepancies become public.
@@Papadoc1000 You are correct. And since the pandemic the schools have gone more woke and become worse at teaching the things that schools are supposed to be teaching, making parents even more inclined to pull their kiddos out. It's almost as if the politicians don't have any cognitive thinking skils themselves. 🤔
@@Papadoc1000 yes, I love the deluge of 'unintended consequences' the last few years are bringing about. You cannot control for all factors in ANY experiment. This is JUST DELIGHTFUL! :D
The pandemic was also when parents found out what their kids were "learning" in school. Parents were also working from home and in closer proximity so they could hear what's been taught.
Who would possibly ever think homeschooling is bad? I know alot of people that were homeschooled and they were much better kids for the most part and have a very good head on their shoulders. Nobody should send their kids to public school unless it's the last option.
"A well educated society is a dangerous society" for those in power they don't want people thinking outside the box
@@Texas1987 Exactly. In Communist revolutions they always target the intelligntsia first -- people who have knowledge and know how to think and analyze are "dangerous", because they can inform, educate and warn others. They are not so easily indoctrinated, led and oppressed.
@@Texas1987 Yes! This!
Some public schools are passing students who are basically illiterate, yet they're worried about homeschooling standards.
& pushing transderiam. No thanks public schools..
I know this to be fact. I’ve taught for going on year 40. It’s been public, private, juvenile prison, and I’ve homeschooled my 4 kids. We pass students without any questions. Those who wish to retain a student are usually given more grief and push back by admin and let’s not forget parents. Every child deserves a trophy, right? How dare you not give my child the trophy of promotion. I’m still teaching in public school and can attest to the fact that we are passing illiterate students from Kinder through 12th and “graduating” them from high school with little more than the fact they showed up enough to be eligible for graduation.
This is the most accurate comment I’ve ever read.
"Some"? 🧐
I homeschool my daughter and she is in the 90th percentile of math and reading , and I didn’t even graduate. That’s how east it is for a kid to excel in the proper environment.
You are so right. Kids are naturally built to learn. All we have to do is give them the safe environment and support. I was raised without an education and my kids are above average. God bless your path 🙏

God bless you as well!!

Honestly with all the gun violence in public schools, I'd say anything non-homeschooled would be alot more dangerous.
Chinas reeducation camps, Native American reeducation schools. We have a common theme throughout history up to present. Forcing people to be indoctrinated into a specific singular belief does not end well, for that individual or society as a whole.
Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto. Best book. John was awarded Teacher of the Year in NY and taught for 30 years. A real eye opener of the business of schools and what is really taught.
"Weapons of Mass Instruction" is another terrific book by Gatto.
Also, The Underground History of American Education.
@@newmamafulyou can get that one as a free pdf online. A lot of places. He wanted it that way. It's hard to get physical copies of the book because it's so expensive, except a bastardized edition in white saying Volume 1. Don't trust it at all.
Better than having them racked with anxiety and fear every morning they leave the house over being SHOT TO DEATH at public school.
Not a parent. But if i was i would homeschool. I learned nothing in public schools except to fear for my safety. What i did learn was stuff self taught.
In public school I learned to sit down and shut up. A public school teacher a few years ago told me that being bullied was a rite of passage and that everyone should be bullied. I think a vast majority of school teachers are the mean girls from their school days and have never matured beyond that point.
Absolutely should not be banned
I was really on the fence about homeschooling when my wife brought it up but last year we pulled our kid out of fancy private school and joined a local homeschool co-op and the results are amazing. If you have the ability to homeschool your children, why would you not? It takes work, and even family can be skeptical at first, but in my experience it is far superior than any public school and significantly better than most private schools. I understand why Harvard elites might want to ban it. We are teaching our child how to think, not what to think. Nearly all corporate schools are doing the opposite, telling them what to think instead of how to think.
Full disclosure, I have a BS in Economics with a minor in History from a state university and an MBA from a private university. My wife went to college on an athletic scholarship and is a lay coach at the most expensive private school in our state. Yet we choose to homeschool.
Ur kids can enroll in gym class art class through the school ur wife coaches as homeschooled students. So they can still see their former classmates..
The "results are amazing"? How horific to say. The kid is not a science project.
@@user-zf2wz5rp8dseriously???
Imagine wanting your kids to spend their entire juvenile life learning how to be a perfect, expendable factory worker trained only to think one way with not a questioning bone in their body.
Someone has been reading John Taylor Gatto!😂
I have taught at a college for 20 years. Some of the best and well-adjusted students were homeschooled. The shade thrown at home schooling has a lot to do with the teachers union's political goals.
Also their financial goals.
So true. Their objective is making the teachers happy enough to not quit the unions, not with making sure children are actually educated.
My children are both homeschooled and have been since they were born. They play in a band all over the community we live in. They are teaching my students who take lessons how to play well and feel confident playing with others. I would never want them to be indoctrinated in public schools.11 and 9 years old.
Read "Durable Trades", citing compulsory schooling. Public schools were instituted as factories to produce workers for the industrial revolution.
When Massachusetts mandated compulsory schooling in 1852, the literacy rate dropped from 99% to 93%. For the first time since freedom-seeking pilgrims settled on American shores, it became illegal to educate one’s own children in the home. Non-compliant parents faced imprisonment, and many towns were “militarized when they refused to take their children out of their locally-run schools or home-schools and place them in the state-run, state-controlled institutions. In 1858 it took an invasion by the state militia to force the last holdouts in Barnstable, Massachusetts, to capitulate and release their children, who were then marched to school under armed guard.

Public schools were meant to only educate a child just enough to be able to work in the elites factories and also to teach the children how to be consumers of the products produced in the elites factories.
History is their greatest fear. Destroy it before others realize it's their playbook. It's the reason they are rewriting as much as possible as quickly as possible.
Wow, hadn't read that book. But I read enough John Taylor Gatto that I had the same visceral angry reaction to what you just shared and that he found out and put in his books.
I am a product of home school. I am a visually impaired student. And I had a lot of trouble being bullied. And teachers not helping me learn. They would say that I was there for socialization not learning to read. so, if my parents hadn’t taken me out of that environment and put me into homeschool never would have learned to read.
I have a sister in law who criticised my decision to homeschool, saying that kids need to be bullied. Her son turned out to be perpetually miserable. It's a pretty weird way to look at kids...
@@samiamnot8906 I would not worry about what your sister in law says. If your kids are doing better in homeschool, then your kids are better off who cares what anybody says. Studies show that kids who actually get the education they needed either in public private or homeschool, can get better jobs and have a much happier life. there are a lot of groups kids can join these days that can still give them friends even if they’re in homeschooling. Kids don’t have to be bullied
Yeah, I'm not worried :) That just showed me she was a bit mad :) Homeschooling is brilliant and the only way.@@hollyridgley734
Saying kids should be bullied is like saying we all should be in toxic codependent relationships because it makes us stronger and better.
Here's some facts I can present that offer insight into this:
1. I have been a teacher in another nation.
2. In that nation the state schools promote MASSIVE government prop agenda (del. misp.)
3. Efficiency of learning is significantly low - the main perogative is to sit children between 4 walls and numb them so the tax-payers money can be signed off. Obviously there's variation between schools with some good ones but many many very ineffective schools
4. The curriculum is not balanced for life skills but excessively about examination.
5. As said there's excessive social indoctrination over actual intellectual advancement
I've spoken with home-schoolers and the opportunities and potential for home-schooling is immense in terms of effectiveness and in terms of broadening learning and increasing the learning of functional skills for use in life.
The main challenge of home schooling is social opportunity however solutions exist such as collaboration of home-schoolers as well as clubs and more. Also parents need to be able to understand the needs of the children and manage that along with making a living.
Overall, there's massive deception that state education is the best option. It's not, it's a mass logistical operation and that takes precedence over the actual individual bespoke learning of each student which home-schooling is far more capable of providing in MOST schools.
Finally, the West is secular and does not teach value systems in the useful way that religions provide. In fact they do the opposite and teach nonsense mantras and nostrums of secular origin eg the united nations that are a in effect social decay and deceptive to most people. It's better to provision your own value system be it Christian or Islamic or Buddhist etc.
I agree with every point you made but would caveat your last paragraph to emphasize that they do teach value systems that are beneficial to the system and the power structure that runs it. These would include value systems that are actually contrary to moral values that are family-centric and more in line with benefits to the power structure. They pretend to demand more inclusion and diversity of thought while rejecting anything that questions their own ideologies.
@@Papadoc1000 A simple way of putting that, I believe, is a lot of the secular western religion inserted into schools under the guise of "liberal values" or wooke (del. misp.) are:
1. Deliberately destruction to traditional value-systems
2. Maladaptive to individuals' natural life-cycle completion and fulfillment
3. Ultimately a component of social decay of current societies hastening that process
I don't believe one can call them "True Values" which you'll find a lot of commonality across all religions that then integrate with the human condition.
They're more akin to "Social Engineering" inserted from governments and originating in the U.N. coordinating a global change.
In that sense you're right about power projection and control but they're not true value systems at all.
homeschooling should be the norm, but so many people are unwilling to do the work, even thought they know the risks of public school
I also think they don’t realize that the work isn’t as hard as they fear it to be. It isn’t school at home. It’s more like “life school” in my experience. It takes so much less time!
And it doesn't even take much work at all. We just facilitate and the kids immerse themselves in their interests and become highly skilled, knowledgeable and productive.
By the time I reached 7th grade I had decided my kids would be homeschooled. Public school is a total waste of time and has damaged our society, perhaps beyond recovery.
Strange.... Of my three siblings who had kids, we had no teachers and only two college graduates. Cumulatively, we had 11 children who were all homeschooled, all but three who have gone on to successfully complete college, 4 went on to graduate school and all those now are married, have a home and careers, two of which are running their own business. One of the ones that didn't go to college is a welder who makes more than his cousins and the other two will be graduating HS in a year and have already been accepted to their first choice college. I'll stack that against any similar family of that size from a public school, including Erin O'Donnell who wrote the article that really hasn't aged well since it was written at the beginning of Covid. And I'll take up that same relative challenge for any of the 200ish homeschool families that I've become familiar with.
Watch them in college. My only one that went to college became an atheist and then a extreme progressive , then estranged himself from the rest of the family only to decide he is now transgender at age 37. We found out online. Pray over your kids and see if they might be better off in a non college career.
Just asked my 12 year old grandchild what he learned this past school year. Answer: really nothing, most of the time we have to wait for the slow kids to catch up. Yeah for public school🙈🙉🙊
Wow. Much respect to you. You have a great channel with great points. I appreciate this video and disagree with banning anything that gives good "free people" time to educate their children. Most articles add big names with big opinions to make them carry weight. (Op😃)
Thanks for the video, my thoughts:
Homeschooling allows the opportunity of children to be raised without the possibility of negative dampening by outside societal construct(consider classroom hierarchies, teachers who are strangers to the parents) beyond their home. In comparison with a great deal of animal species, the young from an infant age spend extreme proximity to their parents, ex. birds of all kinds, dogs, felines, hippos, deer, mice, badgers, raccoons. The progeny of these animals do not frolic alone without Mother or Father nearby and rarely leave their care until they can properly sustain, feed, mate and fledge for themselves, what we humans call adulthood. The clause of children starting their days constantly away from their parents and home for great hours at a time and having to fend for themselves without Mom/Dads there to take after, supplemented by the company of strangers makes an attractive gesturing of home-school's benefits toward well being, peace of mind and right development within the suited comforts of home.
It is quite well known humans develop the least slowly of any species(in terms of brain cognition), with reason and decision making not reaching excellence until as late as 25 years.
Children are great mimickers and learners, being closer to mom and dad, being situated at home where they have a comfortable place to grow and thrive allows them to center their development after all of the genes they've inherited and innately follow. We don't have to be like everyone else, a value we collectively embrace. A child is more likely to follow and take after their parents as its in their blood; homeschooling is an epicenter towards this vein. How critical is it that children are within means to watch and follow their parent's ways, as we already know how important it is to boys and girls who unfortunately grow up with a missing father or mother at home.
Even if their homeschooling's teachers are not their parents, children being within the midst of their home provides reassurance and comfort, perhaps allows them to associate better the things they learn with the values of home and family; which they may take onto their own great years later as an adult.
There is almost a disconnection between public school, the child and their parents' teachings and way of life, homeschooling is a great way to encompass the dynamics of learning to the child's world: their home.
I am no expert on these subjects and this is merely a perspective.
Good day to you.
Very well said! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I became friends with a guy who was homeschooled from k-12. He was one of the most well-adjusted, hard-working, anxiety-free people I ever met.
The world has turned upside down..what was right is now wrong and wrongs now right….we truly are living in a looney bin…if anything I do believe that we are better off without the societal influences that are in the public school system …one shoe does not fit everyone..personally my belief is that they are more well rounded especially the basics of homesteading and the list goes on and on each family should have the right to decide for themselves…KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF OUR PERSONAL LIVES…thank you for bringing this to light very sad but obviously true…stay blessed…
I homeschooled my children years ago. My youngest son was never in any kind of school whatsoever. My 5 year old grandson is in preschool now and they have labeled him a girl. They are treating him like a girl and told him his pronoun is "she"".
😢
Get involved with your local governments and pay attention and speak up about the issues.
I have many friends who grew up in the Soviet Union. The did not allow home schooling! The State Educated everyone!
Homeschooling is a private affair.
Shut down public schools.
Both our kids were partially homeschooled. One graduated with a BSc. & is a dental hygienist and the other one became a plumber. Both are very well adjusted adults and reflect on their HS experience as favourable.
I was homeschooled and homeschool my kids. Homeschooling should absolutely be the parent's decision.
My son was homeschooled during his high school age. He loved it! He had freedom and time to pursue other activities. When exam time he exceeded all our expectations with all A* results.
Saints, pray against this and that her mouth be stopped. Get involved with HSLDA and learn your local government's views on this and follow any legislation concerning education. The gates of hell will not prevail.
Please keep talking! You are encouragement and influencer!
As a former homeschooler and current private school teacher I definitely support homeschooling. I can understand why people are scared of it though when they see things like the new documentary that was put out (haven’t seen it but heard stories). I think that what people need to understand is that every education system can be abused. I think there are great educators in public schools, private schools, and homeschools and people should have the freedom to choose what’s best for them. Also, even though people homeschool often to help their kids learn their own values (like I was) I definitely learned to think for myself and not just accept everything I was told. Maybe that’s not the case for every homeschooler but it definitely was for me.
What’s the name of the documentary you’re referring to?
This is spot on! Thank you for bringing light to an important subject, Chad. I am certain the enemy of our souls is coming for our children. The best way to do so is first to isolate them from their parents. Then every manner of evil can begin.
Praying for the children of our nation ❤
Thank you for confronting this issue. This is an anti-Christian movement. We homeschoolers just want our kids to actually learn what they need to be functional adults.
They don’t want to loose the $$$
I love how they’re still trying to figure out why homeschooling is growing…shows how unintelligent they are.
Banning homeschooling is unconstitution.
You failed a 4 word sentence..yep...all for homeschooling
On a Federal basis for sure. I'm not as sure about that from a state level. State law governs a lot about education, and that is likely the place where homeschooling is at the most risk in leftist states. I'm not even concerned about it coming from a majority of the people, as I don't think the majority of citizens of any state are opposed to homeschooling. My concern is that state legislators and courts will attack it and the majority of citizens don't care enough or are willing to defer to "the experts".
@@RealDarkBlade And YOU failed common civility!
Benjamin Franklin was home schooled
He also wiped his anal region with his hand as was custom of the day!
I was homeschooled and absolutely hated it I begged my parents to let me go to school at 30 I’m teaching myself math…. WE NEED BETTER LAWS
I went through public school and managed to graduate high school without knowing how to do fraction to decimal conversions, the reverse, or understand fractions. I had to teach myself math when I was older also. It was actually homeschooling that helped me find good resources to learn math.
Yes, we might have children running around with minds that have not been fried...zis is a travesty!!! I met a homeschooled young man once and he was the most adjusted individual I have ever met or at least here in CA.
More than ever HOMESCHOOLING is NECESSARY!!!
A gr8 mate in Georgia USA 🇺🇸 & his wife home schooled all there children 6 & they r all super smart , intelligent & well balanced kind individuals.
I , along with my partner were MASSIVELY BULLIED in elementary and high school. Abused and beatened by a elementary school teacher and bullied by highschoolers without any students help. I will never EVER put my kids if I have them in school! There are home schooling programs with a online teacher or online courses. Then in college or university(higher maturity and awareness levels present) they decided if they want to go in. It is a personal choice and it is no ones business to judge. We also live in a sick broken world. People have kids selfishly without thinking, put them in daycare ET VOILÀ! rid of them. If you can't afford them or to be a syay at home mom or dad who properly raise your kids then do not have them. Adult now I am on several medication and I wish I had never went to elementary and highschool ever.
I love it. As a homeschooling, Traditional Catholic, please keep on doing what you're doing, man.
I'm specifically commenting to help with your engagement metric. We need the Word out there.
Im married to a public school teacher. The defenses he puts up when public schools come under fire are PATHETIC. Once this adoption is complete, I fully intend to yank both kids out of the core curriculum. I'm extorted to fund the institutions, so my kids can, and likely will, use the school electives and sports. My kifs deserve better than the main stream.
Enjoy the coming divorce...
Our "7th grader" homeschool son is enrolled in the engineering program at the University. Because he scored a 92 on the college entrance exam.

I home educate in New South Wales, Australia. We have had 3 children at schools at various times. One is neurologically diverse & 2 local primary schools were non-compliant with legal obligations around disability. The other 2 would have done ok, & originally I found the staff responsive & helpful in navigating around things my children weren't allowed to participate in & with which we had a right to keep our kids out of. Once covid hit parents were completely shut out of schools & it was increasingly difficult to communicate effectively. I am now in a group of home educators in my region (county). It is mind boggling the number of women (myself included) who were teachers or teachers aides who are seriously disenfranchised with the public school system or were outrightly horrified by what they witnessed going on, resigned & took their kids out. While some of the parents seem very slack & their kids may be behind, we are experiencing such a lack of teaching staff that kids are split out of their class frequently & aren't receiving proper instruction IN schools. Publicly available data shows that the system is very broken & our kids deserve better. There has been a 30% jump in home school numbers since 'remote learning' during Covid lockdowns. You'd have to be doing nothing for your kids to be worse off. We are legally required to register & have a learning program approved that is based on the State curriculum. You can design your own or pay for one. I was held to a higher standard than local schools. If they can't find staff to teach something they can just not do it, like specialist music/arts/PE but I have to regardless of skill. My children have more opportunity to do things that we simply couldn't have done if they were at a school.
The problem with the discussion is that people on both sides compare the best with the worst. The best of public school vs the worst of homeschool and the other way around. Homeschooling might be ideal for some while for others not so much. Even within families one child might excel at homeschool while another might be better in a classroom. The problem is when it comes to education there is not a one sized fits all for every child. I agree we should be free to put our child where we feel it’s best for them, as well as be able to listen to criticism of our chosen method for a particular child so we can change course and put them in the best situation to thrive.
Some of the most interesting, open minded people who think outside of the box that i have met, have been homeschooled.
I have 4 adult children, all homeschooled.
All 4 are free thinkers, self starters, ambitious, loving, compassionate citizens.
They have many friends.
My daughter is a CPA, two of our sons are employees of our family business and are high earners.

American government is destroying America without foreign invasion 😂😂😂
For this coming school year in August 2023, my son will "study abroad" for fourth grade in my wife's hometown in Asia. We got an opportunity to travel there, and my son's public school in northern California made the decision easy--way, way, way too much focus on sexuality and racial angst. Not sure if I will re-enroll him when he comes back. Homeschool may be a good idea. I think I'll take your idea of emphasizing Bible stories.
I d’ not enroll him back in public school homeschooling d’ do that.
In Canada they were saying it was ok for parents to homeschool their kids then arresting them and taking them to jail. Expect to see that here soon. Unless we fight like hell.
I'm an interpreter, and I happen to know that here in America, anyway, many public school kids just stay home and no one ever gets dragged back to school.There's pressure on the parent(s), but no one takes the kids if they are well fed, well behaved, not abused, go through the motions, play the game, but ultimatedly don't comply.
[One could also just ask for an 'online curriculum' saying the child gets anxious and distracted in group settings, or some other silly jargon. Then speed through the pablum with parents pointing out the stupidity, then spend the rest of the time actually leaning.]
Yeah, they want to talk to the parents, they try to figure out what's wrong with the kids, but I happen to know of a family where both of the kids, middle school and above just hate their schools and don't/won't go. They haven't been for most of the school year.
So why not just tell the government nothing at all, and let them think you're just a lazy parent who is allowing your kids to be truant and uneducated, while secretly homeschooling them on the side and telling the kids to never let the schools know it.
Really? I live in Canada and am homeschooled.

Education in itself should not be geared towards making a person only academically sharp. Education is rounded, from sociological to academical and everything in between. Home school does excellent at that. Contributing from 🇬🇭 Ghana
A fellow Ghanaian, why do you think homeschooling is not popular in Ghana. If my husband will agree, I would have homeschooled our kids. Thankfully one goes to a very reformed Christian missionary school called RAFIKI, the other is autistic and goes to mainstream even though I had argued to homeschool her. By the way are you vested or have experience in the Ghanaian education system?
@@addjoaprekobaah5914 Yes Adjoa, we actually ran a school, preschool, primary and JHS at our home. So our biological kids are somehow receiving home tuition. Parents who also have seen the positive impact of this kind of schooling have maintained their kids. The school is registered, yes. But the training the kids receive have the oversight of parents/teachers who have a heart for their kids.
My wife and I decided to do a mix of both - so for the first semester our kids go to public school, and we withdraw them for the second one, so they are homeschooled at that time. In my head that gives them a comparison of two systems as well as an alternative view to mine and my wife's. Our kids are happy in both "systems", and as long as we control what goes in their heads from "public", we're happy to give them a broader views.
My wife is upset with hard pressing of technology starting pre-K, and we both agree that screen time for young age should be VERY limited, as close to zero as possible, which creates a countless conflicts with school, since they want my (and everybodyelse's) kids staring into the screens 24/7.
Hell no home schooling should not be banned what seen what public school doing now change my mind of home school I support homeschooling now
Most homeschoolers I have been around are way better citizens
Happy Dad's Day!!!
As a homeschool parent I can say that she has ABSOLUTELY no clue of what she’s speaking about . All of her arguments are based on common stereotypes that people hold when they’ve never learned about what a homeschool education is about.
My only child is a 15-year-old schnauzer. As a former adult education teacher of teenage moms, I have an interest in learning. I would have liked some information about the GED scores of homeschooled students. Not long back I read that often homeschooled kids' GED scores are very good to excellent. Would have also liked to see info on how well homeschooled kids adapt to college. Nevertheless, I loved how you tied this subject to Bible prophecy.
Of course, the biggest question about your question is, what exactly do you mean by "adapt"? There are many things that can be adapted to, some good, some less good, and some things that are even seriously dangerous. Some people think that adapting means joining a frat, partying, and being on academic probation the first year or two.
As a college housing landlord of about 100 per year over the last 25 years, I have seen a lot of them come and go and develop, generally over the course of about 3 years each on average. I got to know most of them on a first-name basis and we'd often talk about life and philosophy, and they'd often seek out paternal-style advice about a range of things.
Dropouts among formerly homeschooled kids were about 90% less than their public school counterparts and while I never kept records on it, I'd say they graduated somewhere between 1-2 semesters earlier. I know one thing for sure, and that is as a landlord, I would snatch up an incoming group of former homeschool students over anyone else in a heartbeat. Not that the former didn't make mistakes or have issues, but I had almost no property or behavior issues and no damage from former homeschool students. Former homeschooled girls were maybe 3x more likely to get married during college and leave the college rental, though unlike their public school counterparts, I never had one drop out because she got pregnant.
@@Papadoc1000 Seems like you answered your own question as to how "well" homeschooled kids adapt to college life. You answered in a manner that falls into line with my thinking as well. Thank you.
TL:DR: NY State requires standardized tests for homeschool kids, and they crush it every year. Yay! Go Team Homeschool! Wooo!
LONG:
We are a secular homeschool family in NY State. We have a small homestead, and our son has been homeschooled from pre-k through 4th grade. He's doing great. Needs to work on his spelling, but he's finally getting it after months of darn hard work on both our parts. I'm a former art teacher; I didn't last long in public education, but I still fully support the system itself, though it needs major overhauls in so many ways.
Within the local homeschool community, we have roughly 60% who are Christian of some flavor, and homeschool because of that reason. Most of them are really nice people who want to raise their kids away from the massive drug and violence issues in public schools (hard same my friends, hard same). About 20% are secular homeschoolers of some kind or other (that's us), so it may be meeting special needs, following interests, twice gifted, adventurous spirits, or any number of other great reasons. The remaining 10% were unfortunately caught up in NY's required vaccination mandate, and were essentially pushed out of public schools into homeschooling in 2019 (bad timing). We all did our best for them, but homeschooling needs to be a choice, not a non-choice, and that was rough all around. Worse is that now the entire homeschool community has ended up with a reputation as anti-vaxxers, which is like 'what did you expect when you kicked them out of public school?' In all the years I've been homeschooling I've met TWO white supremacist homeschooling families, and both were quickly blacklisted & blocked from most groups. I'm not saying there aren't more, and lord knows people have their prejudices, but the homeschool community isn't exactly crawling with camo-wearing paramilitary gun bunnies. We probably have too many baking soda & vinegar science experiments... and our life of crime includes accidentally staining the picnic tables in the park with food coloring while looking at fluid dynamics and going off trail to look at an interesting tree. Woops. But realistically it's book reports, hiking, microbiology, piano lessons & telling the co-op Zoom meeting to mute or unmute.
Standardized test scores don't lie. My son tested at and above grade level consistently, and significantly higher than the students in the local public school (averaged, which I know isn't fair, because that's an average and his is individual, but if he got that low he'd be put on academic probation). He is essentially privately tutored, as are most homeschooled children. A private tutor education is going to be better than a public school classroom education. He doesn't have to sit with his hand up in the air for 10 minutes waiting to ask his question, and then the bell rings and it never gets answered. He has someone to tailor his education to his needs at all times. He gets to go places and meet people and see things that I never got to do (I do now!)... The standards of acceptable behavior are high. Homeschooled kids are /highly socialized/ and parents often have a hard time keeping up. But if your kid is mean, you don't get invited back. Public schools MUST education ALL enrolled students; and what that means is that "teachers have no reasonable expectation of safety in public school classrooms" and that is a direct quote from a lawyer representing a district after a 6 year old student shot a teacher in the chest.
So, Harvard Lady... ppppbbbbtttt. But seriously, my kid is doing better than his PS peers. So are the rest of the kids in his secular science-focused co-op. So are most of the kids who use the Christian curriculums. That's according to the NYS required standardized tests, which ALL homeschooled children are required to take from grades 4-8 every-other year and grades 9-12 every year. So yes, we do know that they do better than their PS peers, quantifiably. Also, the regulations aren't hard to follow. NY is one of the highest regulated states, and it's literally NBD. People are scared of it, and it's just not that difficult.
Thanks for the video. Here's to raising good kids, no matter how you choose to educate them.
I'm aware that 90% is not 100%, the other 10% is a mix of a lot of different reasons, and don't easily fit in any of the 3 main groups of homeschoolers in NYS.
Bless you! I couldn't have said it better! You can figure out where I'm from.😉
Homeschooling will b necessary. It needs to be defended fiercely
I have no issues with homeschooling if the parents have the skills, the resources, and the time to do so. But thats little consolation to the vastly larger numbers of poor and disadvantaged working class people whose parents work to support themselves and their kids financially and don't have the time or energy to teach their kids at home.
Every filthy rich parent ever would (and does!) give their kids a private tutor. Because they understand the simple intuition that personalized education is better than one-size-fits-all education.
So why doesn't everyone homeschool given the chance? Well, because parents either believe they aren't qualified to teach, and/or because both parents think having a career for themselves is the pinnacle of life satisfaction.
With the regards to the former, I would argue that the "skill" of teaching in a public school is the "skill" of teaching from a rigid curriculum to a large group of kids, and the inherent challenges of managing 20 kids at once. I frankly don't put much stock in that. To the latter I'd say that my children's well being is more important to me and my wife than our career prestige. We actually like being with our kids, not just pawning them off on other people whenever we can get away with it. Since we don't strictly require dual-incomes to get by, my wife stays home with our kids and home schools, and I have far more faith in her (and our) ability to teach to my kids personal needs than I do in the public school system. Especially thinking back on the many teachers I had as a public school student.
Yet another intelligent, well-written, well thought out reply. That says something about homeschool families.
I can make the argument that the department of education should be banned.
Excellent vid. New subscriber from a few days ago.
Welcome aboard. Blessings.
Many areas unfortunately have very bad public schools, both urban and rural. Its my right to provide my child an environment safe from bullying, overbearing school rules, and underfunded resources
The reference to Germany is to be seen as a quiet nod to the fact that the post modernist ideology propagated by the Frankfurt school. Down with the extreme ideology of postmodernism full stop
Homeschooling was banned in Germany in 1919. The same Germany that just finished giving us WWI totalitarianism and the year before the Nazi Party became active. I think this is not a great model to build on.
I remember learning in public school that Ab Lincoln was homeschooled and grew up brilliant. Also, having two Masters and a bachelors in Electrical Engineering Technology, I have reflected on much taught me in first 12 years was useless. I agree with Elon Musk, our public education system is terrible.
As a kid who was homeschooled by a family in the IBLP cult, it makes me so sad how many parents are against oversight that can prevent abuse. Almost all the other homeschoolers I knew then and have met as an adult were from religious fundamentalist families with an isolationist bent. A vast majority of us want more oversight to prevent abuse. Why don't the parents want oversight and the best for all homeschooled kids?
If the parents are capable and well-organized, it is such a blessing. The kids that I know who are homeschool are far smarter and more practical that I was at their age. I attended public school when it was relatively decent. However, if parents are not pratiencevor or adept in teacing (and many are not), or the work burden is too overwhelming, this might not be an option. It is alarming that the Liberals and Super Conservatives have push their own faulty agendas.
Irrespective of the practicalities, the freedom of choice is the question here and that's a decision for parents NOT for governments to make.
The bottom line is that all systems can have failures. However, for every homeschool parent who does a less than admirable job, I can show you a worthless public school that fails 500 kids all at once. I live in a city where 60% of the students read at least 2 years lower than their grade level and similarly at math. Also, while I do know a few adults whose parents did a lousy job of homeschooling, even by their own standards, one thing that they didn't learn was to be a lifelong victim or that someone else was keeping them down. They self-educated and the least of these still got an associate's degree while several others even went on to get a Master's or Ph.D. All have gone on to homeschool their own kids, so despite their parents having failed, they decided to do it and do it better.
@@Papadoc1000 That's the crucial measure where state schools fail SO MANY kids and responsibility is made DIFFUCE ie parents think education is taken care of but it's not in many cases.
Also, on the positive, home-school has much wider scope to teach practical life skills apart from or in addition to academic-focus. That to me is also the other massive potential possible.
@@Papadoc1000 Good, solid observation you make, but unless you have had a parent with mental illness or are a single parent working 2 jobs to make ends meet, there needs to be other options than homeschool for these. Ray Moore who who pioneered the home school movement admitted that there are parents who couldn't do it because of emotional problems or inadequate training.
“The word I have hid in your heart”..that’s why you don’t need to read it for direction but as confirmation.
MY SON WAS HOME SCHOOLED AND IS DOING WONDERFULLY... PUBLIC SCHOOL CREATES DRONES
I love that you can even discuss about this. Homeschooling is not available in my country, only under strict rules, but they would not allow anyone easy on that route as parents are being 'supervised', oh I mean just their kids are being weighed? Oh yeah they are supervised.. since they ask a bunch of questions from sleeping in the same room to a what your child eats and give so called 'advice' about everything. Lots of bad advice. And then school age comes up and they get very pushy and basically if you do not comply will be in a trouble with many institutions. So really, I so wished to have homeschooling available here.
Do you mind if I ask which country?
Wonderful message. I did homeschooling and my children want to do the same with theirs
Home schooling is like anything else, if done right, you get success. Home schooled our youngest, because of shite the teachers were doing, very dysfunctional. ☘️
The failure of public school is their slow degradation which is pushing people for homeschooling. I will never take homeschooling as an option so it will either have to private or schools outside the US
2:00 nice to see comments from someone who is not homeschooling! :) In Poland we have an explosion of homeschooling, and conservative Christians are totally invisible in this crowd. These are mostly kids with passion, sportsmen, artists, and also kids tormented at school with diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. The explosion was so rapid, that subsidies transferred via local authority could not keep up leading to a serious breakdown :)
The risk of homeschooling is producing a well balanced free thinking educated child!
Considering the way teachers are these days. We should ban regular school!!
No but public school should
Who remembers what they learned in regular school? After 13 years of schooling I learned how to avoid bullying by taking on a bad persona. I also learned that it would be stupid of me to send my kids to school so they are homeschooled, balanced characters, thriving and happy.
Yes.
In my country it's illegal, everyone goes to school, no ifs and or buts about it.
And for the blonde women, yes, we do have religious studies, mainly focusing on Christianity and its history.
The only say parents have is for their children's performance, bullying from other kids, and if there is an abusive teacher at school.
You must also think that students should learn chemistry and be in the lab too 😂😂😂
@@maroonmaroonmaroon2985 It's a mandatory lesson at High School here, and yes, a lab is involved, but the professor handles the chemicals and the vials.
Child safety? How many home school mas shootings have there been, ever? How many kid beat up at public schools verses home schooling?
John Taylor Gatto wrote the book Dumbing Is Down explaining all of this
Sadly, it seems we no longer have a right to our opinions or beliefs.
