Parents are the primary influences in education

Do you know why homeschooling works?

It’s because the process acknowledges and amplifies the single most important factor in a child’s education: the parents.

Many would like to believe that the schools, if tweaked enough, can eventually provide a perfect education for all. If that were so, then you’d think after 80 years of “educational reform” and an almost bottomless wallet approach to funding, public education would churn out a majority of well educated citizens.

But we know this isn’t true. Look at your own educational experiences – how much did those 12 years really shape who you are today, educationally? If you are a professional, then being in school taught you how to do well in school, so you could move forward. This does not mean you are “well educated,” but rather that you know how to function within the school system.

Odds are very great that your own parents influenced your academic achievement even more than your school. And there is a government sponsored study that demonstrates just this truth.

The original study is from 1966 but subsequent studies clearly show that public schools don’t work.

The primary reason? The socialization that fosters a dangerous environment for many students (and black students in particular).

Keeping children of all the same age locked in a room for hours every day, expecting them to sit still and operate like robots in response to teacher instruction…..how does this make any sense at all?

Do YOU learn that way? What makes you think CHILDREN are any different than most ADULTS are??? You remember being in school….don’t you think there’s got to be a better way?

Of course there is – homeschooling. If you put forth even a moderate amount of effort, the results will be better….and not because they will get a superior education, but because they will be shielded from the harmful effects of the socialization in public schools.
