Homeschooling has tripled in the US. It is an increasing movement. Some join because of the chaos of the “pandemic.” Some join because of the curricula that is increasingly anti-academic. Traditionally, the majority joined because they felt the school system was ungodly, but all felt that the public school simply was not educating well. The movement is only gaining steam.

Please share this ‘cast with those who are interested. There are many questions about home education, asked with increasing shrillness. These questions belie the real interest. Who cares more for children? the State or their parents? who more wants children to be educated to have a happy, healthy, holy…. and prosperous life? Who is better able to socialize a child? Handpicked, competent adults? Or students of the same age? Or some impersonal system?

Or, let’s ask an even simpler question. In which method do student score higher on standardized tests? The answer is clear, robust, replicated. Homeschooled children outperfoRm. And have since the 1980s.

EVEN FOR STUDENTS WITH LD? YES!!!!

Especially those children who have some learning problem, challenge, or “disability,” home education produces a tremendous outperformance. First, the learning methods can be taylor-made for the child, rather than running a child through a factory like atmosphere, that treats any difference as if it were a defective product. Secondly, the public system does not intend to remediate so much as accommodate. Thirdly, the public system tends to enforce self-fulfilling prophecies. Social research shows that most teachers and certainly other staff tend to see LD as if it were MR, or in other words all learning challenges as a sign of low IQ. Thus, not only academically, but also socially, the children are pushed down. Fourthly, what has been shown to be the single biggest predictor of academic success is: the expectation of the adults around the child. Parent, especially those who give up a place in the workforce and focus their family on home education, are much more likely to have high academic expectations than employees in a large system, with ever lower goals, at best meant for the masses.

But not everyone agrees:

Requiring an untested, unlicensed v*xx is illegal in the US.

Or, in other words, don’t be bullied. Questions have arisen bout the ability to have children. Claims from research doctors include: Autoimmune problems, attacks against tissues including kidney, liver, hearth, brain. Aches and pains. Sooner death. (Dr. Sherri TenPenny, interview on DayStar.)

Then, what might the spiritual cost be of having not entirely human DNA? (Kevin Zadai).

I’m not claiming to be the authority, but questioning those who are, and who have like Cuomo, caused a lot of destruction, is certainly warranted.

BTW, today in the news flipflop Fauci warns parents against letting children play with other without masks, while Texas’ Gov. Abbot touts continued reduction of identified cases after mask mandate was dropped. (BTW, Texas hospitals have struggled with low customers, and some are being sold at this moment. Remember what we were told last year at this time. Cases do not equal hospitalizations. “Cases” is manipulated.)

So, this is a pointer to help for parents and teachers in these dangerous times. This along with some important announcements here at “Great Shalom Broadcast” or “Overcoming Learning Problems.

Another view on changing situation in public schools: Epoch Times, owned by Chinese American, ran a series on a communist conspiracy to subvert American education. Here is a more recent article on changing History curricula. More on Kinsey and teaching “sex-ed” in the schools.

Here are 7 quick keys to how to tell what is true. This is an important lesson for children diagnosed as “learning disabled” because although they are bright, they are spending so much time on decoding, they have a hard time with higher order reading comprehension. Similarly, many of these children have poorer social skills — for any number of reasons. So, they may be behind in sorting our truth from “stories.” If we teach them directly, we can make up for much of that difficulty. However, today, it looks like everyone needs some lessons in pinpointing Truth and Error and sorting between the two. When one begins to think about some things in the discussion today, it is hard not to make fun of the gullibility. Let’s don’t be those who are snookered! More importantly, let’s protect our kids through more direct teaching of this life skill.

Listen, consider, and share!

If you do your own search, you will see that there has been a lot of energy to teach critical thinking in a way that debunks Christian faith — which isn’t logical at all. If all truth is known by what is empirical (which is their position), then they can not say anything about the metaphysical or supernatural — by definition. Thus they can not say that the supernatural is bunk, but only that they have no knowledge of it. Perhaps they are tone deaf, eh? That is logical! For more on this, see the work of Ravi Zacharias. www.RZIM.org Dr. Zacharias and his institute at Oxford did wonderful, high level apologetics. I can not account for why search engines are full of the tawdry — except for the psychological dynamic of projection, the impetus to snooker, and the need for this lesson.

Please share good resources, especially those aimed at children.

BTW, I mentioned my series Dangerous Times, thinking it was already ready, but alas, it required both editing and uploaded. However, it is in the store now. Just select “shop” from the tabs. It is great for both parents and teachers and I have it on a big big sale. It is a right now word.
