Homeschooling: The Best Education Reform
http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=5925 Homeschooling was the way the Founding Fathers received their education. Today’s homeschooling movement continues to excel by producing literate students with minimal government interference at a fraction of the cost of any government program. …
Before the Public Schools
by Gary Benoit http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/1997/vo13no15/vo13no15_public.htm Not surprisingly, the education and opinion cartels claim that the demise of the public school system would mean the demise of education. They paint a bleak picture of a nation of unschooled illiterates who would not even be able to read and write, much less acquire technological or scientific expertise. As is the case with so much of what is presented as “conventional wisdom,” however, the truth is exactly the opposite. …
Transforming Family Life And Learning Through Homeschooling
by Linda Dobson http://www.hsc.org/transformingbydobson.php After all enjoy their fill of oatmeal and fruit, and the last child laces up his boots and adjusts his hat against the winds, a mom and her three school-aged children wave at the school bus lumbering by and head off for a walk in the woods, instead. The children grow increasingly excited as they spy the tracks of three different animals. Questions soon fly as freely as the snow. Mom knows she’ll be busy for the next few weeks, possibly months, immersed in the study of weather patterns, drawing and photography, animal tracks and tracking, and the Native Americans who originally lived in the area. She’ll soon shop for materials that compliment her children’s natural curiosity and keep the wonder alive in their eyes – and hearts. This family, like an estimated million others, delights in a revolutionary approach to learning. Known as homeschoolers, they have, for myriad reasons, decided to take responsibility for their children’s education into their own hands.
Deliberately Dumbing Us Down
http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/2000/feb00/dumbing-down.html By Sam Blumenfeld Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt’s new book, The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America, is one of the most important publishing events in the annals of American education in the last hundred years. Iserbyt has done what no one else wanted or could do. She has put together the most formidable and practical compilation of documentation describing the well-planned “deliberate dumbing down” of American children by their education system. Anyone who has had any lingering hope that what the educators have been doing is a result of error, accident, or stupidity will be shocked by the way American social engineers have systematically gone about destroying the intellect of millions of American children for the purpose of leading the American people into a socialist world government controlled by behavioral and social scientists.
Endorsement of Ron Paul by Art Robinson
Arthur Robinson wrote: Ron Paul and the Constitutional principles upon which his presidential campaign is based are, by far, the best opportunity that is being offered to the people of the United States. He is reawakening the economic, political, social, and ethical traditions that have made America great. As Ron Paul says, it is his message not himself that is responsible for the rapid rise and strength of his campaign. Ron Paul is, however, an ideal messenger, with the experience and personal qualities to translate that message into reality as President. Moreover, Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who can defeat the Democrats in 2012. His message resonates with the deepest and most admirable instincts of the American people. In a one-on-one contest for President, Ron Paul can win. The other Republican candidates cannot. Our Robinson Self-Teaching Home School Curriculum, now used by more than 60,000 home schooled students, emphasizes science, economics, and history – after the student has mastered reading, writing, and arithmetic. The message of these academic disciplines makes clear that, if America adheres to the principles that have historically made her successful, she and her people will grow in in moral, economic, and technological prosperity. If not, their opportunities will diminish and be lost. Ron Paul may be our last chance for that growth. The people of the United States can no longer afford to be ruled by political opportunists. We need men of character and principle in public office. There is no better man in America for the office of President than Ron Paul. Art Robinson, PhD |
