Home Schooling is also nice since you got to always see your kids.;’.

Homeschooling can be tough on the kids. They can’t hide anything from their parents and corporal punishment can be dished out by both Teacher and Principal.

Maybe one reason that public schools have become such a liberal mess is that very few Christians run for school boards. In fact, though the original purpose of public education in this country was to teach children to read so that they could read the Bible – an early textbook, Christians quickly abandoned the ownership of schools. I wonder why? I remember when I was growing up in the 1950′ and 60′s that many Christians were opposed to involvement in any form of public life. Politics was considered ‘dirty business’ and a Christian wouldn’t want to soil their hands with it. It was in the late ’70′s when suddenly the church looked at the culture and said, “what happened?” We live in this wonderful country ‘by the people’ where Christians could have huge influence but for some reason have chosen not to. Kind of late, huh?

To those of you who homeschool, I salute you. In our daughter’s district, it’s definitely a crap shooting affair to find a decent school. When you do find one, it may change radically when the principal leaves (or a host of other reasons)… We have found that she can benefit from certain niche programs and clubs, such as history bowl. She recently competed and did pretty well with her team. But I do not care for the texts they currently use for history. Everything is referred to as ‘BCE’ or ‘CE’. We wouldn’t want to offend any atheists out there in suggesting that Christ actually played a role in the dating of history….. ‘BC’ or ‘AD’ anyone?

I’m a huge proponent of homeschooling. Just want to make that clear. And yes, Harmonic, they haven’t found us yet. Thus, my tag.

Meanwhile, homeschooling families must still pay taxes for schools they do not use and for teachers that are failing their students.
