Homeschooling Growing In Popularity---Wouldn't You Know It

This doesn't surprise me. My kids are homeschooled.

The sun-herald.com website has a great write up on it today.

It tells of some of the surprises homeschoolers find such as how much their children support each other. "They all get excited when one of them gets a difficult concept or does something spectacular," was one comment.

Sample some of the goodies you'll find:

" I (felt) that the guidance counselors favored the bullies more than the ones being bullied," McKay said. Instead, the North Porter opted for homeschooling.
Leslie Valeska said she first started homeschooling when she found her son, now 14, was not being challenged enough in public schools.
"He was bored and the classes were not intense enough for him," she said. "Now I've been homeschooling him for four years, along with my three other children."

Read here about the increased quality time homeschooling families enjoy. And how the standard criticism of "professional" teachers that kids do not get enough socialization skills through homeschooling is really unfounded. In my opinion, these so-called teachers are merely trying to preserve the status quo as they find that education itself is in flux and business-as-usual simply isn't acceptable anymore.

For far too long, education has grown more and more absurd in this country, teaching children to discount the authority of their parents, moving them away from any knowledge of, or relationship with, their Creator, and brainwashing them towards an immoral heart- and mind-set.

To the educational elites and the teachers' union: No More!
