Unbelievable

I remember when I was in High school we had an AIDS awareness day. We had a class in the multipurpose room where a lady told us that she had aids and her husband didn’t and that when they have sexual relations they have to be very careful and always use a condom. Now I think I was a freshman or sophomore at the time. That would put this about 15 years ago. I bring this up because in California today a ruling came down from a district court there and it stated that parents must be credentialed in order to home school their kids. (I also bring this up because in the county to the north of me they keep wanting to teach homosexuality in sex ed class)

From the time I started school I hated it, in fact the thought of going back to school honestly sickens me. I hated kindergarten I hated first grade I hated every bit of it. I hated when they put me in a “special” reading class, and nobody ever told me why. I hated the time they thought either I was color blind or had never learned my colors they tested me, they asked me “What color is this paper clip?” (big stupid plastic looking things maybe they thought I would hurt myself if I got my hands on a real paperclip)

“Blue” I said.

“What color is this one?”

“Yellow” I said.

“How about this one?”

I paused for a moment

“What color is this?”

I looked

“You need to tell me the color.”

I said “fuchsia?”

I didn’t know, I was only in second grade maybe third; to ask me all the technical names of the colors seemed a little unfair. I don’t know what they were trying to prove but it ticked me off then and still does today. (The reasons it ticks me off today is I know that some kid is going through the same crap I went through honestly by the time you are in the third grade you shouldn’t be reading books named “Sun Up” I swear teach something meaningful, it used to be that by the time you were in third grade your main book you would read was the Holy Bible) I hated middle school when the math class I was in the students acted so bad that we made teachers quit. I hated high school I hated being taught about civics and government by liberal teachers. (Honestly they would tell us how great the “new deal” was I had to argue with one of the teachers “If its so great why do they tax your money twice? Once when you earn it and second when you get your benefits) I hated learning about sugarcoated history and never delving deep into the true history from every angle possible. I hated the fact that teachers wouldn’t divert from the textbook, we only learned the preamble to the constitution, a few bill of rights and some historical trivia that in the grand scheme is minor.

All the smart kids learned advanced math and science. I am no scientist or mathematician, math is a language all its own and science well, I never liked being taught that any of it was gospel truth. I didn’t evolve from a monkey (where is the missing link?) I don’t believe we have any control over our environment. I don’t understand biology, chemistry I just don’t get it. I never pretended to get it. But the other subjects I didn’t mind I like the English language it is a superior language compared to the third world languages. If we don’t have a word for something we make it up (example telerviserphonernetting). I don’t know why they made us take a primitive language course; it was a waste of my time. They could have been teaching me how the world works.

Here’s the problem unless, you are raised 24 hours a day by a public or private school system you couldn’t possibly learn everything. You have to study to the test and if you don’t pass the test, something is wrong with you. You have to keep up with the class or something is wrong with you. You have to study information you will never use in your life and if you don’t, something is wrong with you. You have to regurgitate what the teacher spoon-feeds to you or something is wrong with you. Can’t sit still have a pill something’s wrong with you. And we wonder why our kids go on killing sprees in our schools.

One solution to this problem is home schooling. A child can learn the basics math reading writing but once those basics are learned why not let that child learn on their own why not let them find out things on their own without some teacher telling them how to interpret facts. For example once a child is capable of reading let them read a book then say tell me about the book. That would be fine for a young child. Now how about a highschooler instead of doing a book report on Shakespeare, to kill a mocking bird why not say okay read the constitution and write a 3-page report on it, and explain to me what our government is doing that is wrong. My gosh you could do this in a civics class or an English class or combine the classes. You could cut down on the amount of teachers, if you let the children think for themselves. I don’t want to be told how great Shakespeare was I thought his stories violent and disturbing, I don’t want to be told the new deal was great, it is a failure bankrupting my child and me. I don’t want to learn I was from a monkey. I want to have the liberty of learning I don’t want to be forced in a box I don’t to judged because I don’t understand a concept that I know is patently false (evolution, communism, socialism) I don’t want my mind cluttered with lies and misinformation.

I want truth I want solid truth I want my abc’s untainted, I want my 123’s taught in a way I understand, I want my history to be factual, my English to be clear, the only way to achieve this is to always constantly be learning. And we cannot hand over learning to the government, whether it be federal state or local. Learning is important so important it rises above the level of government. When government takes over education we learn that they can give all the information we need and they can take away all the information we need. That is why this is so scary in California. Nowhere in the U.S. constitution are guaranteed to an education. (I guess California state law does) But for the rest of us there is a reason for this government can’t achieve educating our children. They would have to keep our children 24 hours a day (Hitler type youth camps). I would prefer home schooling; I believe most people are honest decent people who want the best for their families.

I think taking guaranteed education away from the citizens of this country would foster a new enlightenment period. I think people would buckle down, read to their kids, and turn off the TV. And stop relying on a failed government system. Take your kids to a real music concert (classical or whatever just not this bubble gum rap crap that demeans women and promotes teenage sex) foster their imagination. Tell them maybe they will be the one to come up with alternatives to the way we do things now. Who knows we let the kids learn with a sense of freedom they might come up with solutions to our problems. People this starts in the home, its starts by knowing your child, its starts by not letting a government school box your child’s imagination and will to learn in.

Look, I don’t know if home schooling right for you, but I do know that if people have religious beliefs or just don’t want their children’s minds cluttered with modern day ineffective teaching than it should be an option and that option shouldn’t come with a higher education price tag for the parents. This is another example of our liberties being trampled.
