Texas Recognizes Freedom to Privately Educate

Check out what an attorney in Texas says about home education there. Tim Lambert, along with his wife Lindsay founded Texas Homeschool Coalition. He continues to serve as legal counsel to members responding to schools’ missteps.IN this rerun, Mr. Lambert answers basic questions about home schooling in Texas.

Now, many of you are not in Texas. Please let our freedoms and procedures inspire you to make your state, country, province better. More liberty, to have better education, would surely be better, don’t you agree?

It was probably about 10 years ago that their high school aged children ran their very large homeschool coalition in the Woodlands convention center. Wow — and did they ever do a professional level job. Such a great advertisement for home education: mature and capable youth.

Laws vary widely. I don’t know why. Aren’t rights God-given? Didn’t we agree to empower governments to have a short list of powers and reserve the rest of the rights to ourselves? If you were not taught that in civics in Elementary school, then someone was …

… pulling the wool over your eyes?

…giving you an alternative “social studies” curriculum?

..trying to enslave you?

Anyway, from the beginning Texas RECOGNIZED the right to privately education one’s children. Since people started doing that — once again– academic rates have gone up. Social skills have gone up. Maturity has gone up. Check out the broadcast.

COMMENT ON *SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE* DOCU-HIT

While I can not take a firm position on the new docu-series regarding the Duggars and the Bill Gotthard movement, I do want to raise some general questions about the intent of the creators.

I would counsel to not necessarily believe the negative spin — or really hit piece — on the Duggars and Bill Gotthard. I was not there. But I do know this sort of situation. Most organizations are not perfect. Most people in high demand group like that are indeed happy — and happier than their leavers!

Duggar response: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2023/06/02/duggar-family-respond-to-documentary-shiny-happy-people/70282044007/

Another Duggar response : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgUUttpODzI” There is no evidence that the children were abused… and won’t be unless there is (another) investigation. 

I wouldn’t want my family in front of a camera all the time.  But guys, do you remember what happened in the past 3 years?  Remember the news and social media … “spin”…. on the scamdemic?  Haven’t you learned to parse out both “news” and *projection*?

You figure out that if Pinkie and the Brain wanted to enslave the world, ahem, they would hate those out of the system the most. Home education is dangerous to tyrants — not only because it is separate and private, but even more because it creates character and the ability to think for oneself.

A conservative analyst’s response (Candace Owen) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgxETGip0eg

Oh yes, even from a cult, especially from a cult experience,  there is no one who will more likely think for themselves than people who have had this experience. They have seen the world from different perspectives. They have been controlled. They have thought through the issues. They will likely leave. But they are much harder to fool. That is for sure.

EMPOWERING QUESTIONS

Always ask what are the definitions being used. Linguistic confusion and domination is very often used today. What appears to be charity, for instance, become theft. What appears to be science is discovered to be ridiculously not. So and and so forth. In this case, is all patriarchy bad? Are all conservatives or all Christians bad? Is every woman who fills the traditional mother role somehow nefarious? Really?

Always ask what the general intent of the argument is. Clearly, there is a negative intent in this case. Fine, but why.

And what is it that they want you to do? Hate Christians? Hate large families?Hate people who experiment with alternative lifestyles? Hate tradtitionalism?  Really?  Really? Is that what you want to do? Is that where you want to be? Don’t be a pawn.

Always ask if there is a self-interest in that intent. What would the speaker like to get you to do? Would you do that if considered that in a full and level-headed way, instead of merely being repulsed by a negative picture. It is like jumping on a snake to avoid the one you saw. Look around.

Always ask if there is another side to the issue. Never decide until you have heard both sides.  All sides.

Ask what is being left out or hidden.  So, sure, we are horrified at some sexual abuse or some hurt of a child. But wait, in our culture today, sexual abuse is becoming celebrated in public policy and government schools. So,  how is it that we are herded into hate of some alternative group, focused on families and attempting rigtheousness?

Always hold in mind the phenomenon of projection, that people accuse others of exactly what they are doing. This is write large in politics today.

Always keep in mind that deception is a possibility. Double check both the facts and the interpretation of the facts. Remember: statistics don’t lie, but liars figure. Liars and marketers lay out their statistics in ways that are not fully straightforward.

If you are paying attention to your own life? Are you working nearly as hard to be a good person, doing the right thing, and helping others as the folks you are criticizing? If so, you probably don’t have time to really investigate other people’s lives. LOL

Overcoming Speech Problems – Speech Therapy

I will tell you my own grandchildren’s struggles and the victory we found. Sometimes a good speech therapist is the answer. Other times just an engaged adult is the answer. Sometimes the right education method is the answer. Hear our story and be encouraged and equipped!

Have you noticed that speech problems are increasingly pervasive? There is a dramatic increase in physiological problems. Why no addressing? Strong effort to stop farting cows and to go to cars that need unsafe batteries that take rare earth and child slavery, but no addressing of the pollution that stunts our children, visibly, increasingly, over only decades?

In a recent episode, we hear the claim that reading problems are created by poor educational methods. True, but also, an inability to hear and speak well, will also create difficulties in reading, let alone in social life. If it is preventable, you want to prevent. If it is curable with simple methods, you want to do that. DO NOT PUT THIS OFF!!! DO NOT RELY ON **supposed** experts in the school — that come with labels, shaming, and ….. BAD RESULTS.

We have better news, better hopes, and better outcomes here.

Oh my gosh, look at this:

https://rumble.com/v2lpxcm-rebecca-is-board-president-of-texans-for-vaccine-choice.html?mref=5gmrp&mrefc=2

A speech therapist saw many moms with children whose progress suddenly stopped after… a .. vaccine. There are risks. Are the potential upside worth it? For anyone? Is it ethical, then, to force this? No.  Now she is president of the Texans for Vaccine Choice. Increasingly, the legislators here are agreeing. Elsewhere, some other states,  they are more highly paid by the medical industry. But you, you parents, are responsible for the safety of your children.

Now, Your Children Can See How to Achieve!

Eyesight, or more properly, being able to see well, is foundational for academic achievement. You may think you know that and say to me that schools always screen for vision. Well, they do screen, but those screenings do not even look for some foundational problems relating to reading. They, may, however, screen for ESP! according to Texas law! Yikes! However, pervasively, what happens next is often counterproductive.

Then, even if you have your child seen by an eye doctor, Irlen syndrome is not screened. Further, in some cases, the prescriptions are not helpful at all. I explain this from my own experience.

In no case will conventional measures offer actual help in seeing better (once again, no cure, only lifetime payments). Is this accommodation rather than remediation…AGAiN?

There is good news. Beyond miracles, health measures can work wonders. Even screening for Irlen and getting an eye doctor familiar with Irlen syndrome may help immensely.

Hear my story and find clue to what you can do for your child.
