and then goes on to list the limitations and list a curricula as "reading, spelling, mathematics, science, history, civics, writing and English grammar." (sounds like grounds to condemn the public school system!)
Almost spit up my coffee there.
No doubt this is just another grab at dictating how one has to conform. People just aren't seeing the big picture because it doesn't affect most peoples lives. I have pointed out for years now this scenario:
Under most jurisdictions, if you lived without electricity or running water to your dwelling that is grounds to have your children taken from you. So based on this outlook, all of those who lived before electricity or running water in their house were unfit as parents.
It is scary that most refuse to think and just nod in agreement with whatever the bureaucrats insist we must do for the greater good. When I homeschooled my son I used my own curriculum on what I deemed important. I felt critical thinking was more important than memorization. Because of this my son now holds a job earning more than I have ever come close to.
They are afraid of thinking people. People who think notice what is going on. Not good for business.
I homeschooled 4 and all are successful, even my youngest who chooses to be a stay at home mom. The most important thing you can teach is how to find out what you need to know... doing research. Instead of memorization, I had my kids read something (about which ever subject we were studying) and write me a paper on it. Then we would review correcting for grammar, spelling etc. As far as the curriculum mentioned- that's pretty much what homeschoolers teach anyway. My kids also learned how to grow a garden, can food and other useful skills.
By the way... we have a tag- @informationwar-, you should check it out. One or two of the guys asked me to give you a shout
Thanks, I will make sure to look for posts using it.
