HOMESCHOOLING
HOMESCHOOLING COMES FORTH
"Homeschooling" as an education option has emerged to the "front and center" of private debate, now that mass murders have become far too common in America public schools. Raising it with a spouse can bring about sharp reactions , as each one personalizes individual learning experiences into the mix.
Anciently education was at home. One learned from parents, elders.
Over time, education became a function of first, the church, then the state. With these came taxes, fees, assessments, costs, wages, salaries, contracts, vendors, sales, politicians, judges , think tanks. Now guns have entered forcefully.
Guns bring us back to square one. Not to square roots. Fractions not fractals. Fears and phobias rather than hopes and future aspirations.
With access to content and images on the internet, school curriculums can be designed at home , done at home, without emotional drama. It would require that parents let go of certain things and people in order to concentrate spare time with the children, grandchildren, neighbors' children, or whomever wants to learn. The powers that be are trying to privatize everything government anyway . Let the people fight back by privatizing their own children's education. That is homeschooling !
