This is Why My Children Are Homeschooled – Public School Education is a Joke
My children are homeschooled. By all measurable accounts they score as well or better than most government educated kids. I would never send my kids to government schools. The U.S. education system is a failure. I would prefer my kids learn from like minded, value oriented homeschool tutorial teachers than from a failed system. Why? Consider this article found in the The Patriot Brief via Arnold Ahlert:
“Consider that New York just its standard for passing sixth grade reading and math tests to the following: on the reading test, 20 correct answers out of 39 questions gets one a passing grade; on the sixth grade math test, 20 out of 49 does the trick. In other words, getting a grade of 51% on the reading test and 41% on the math test gets you promoted to the seventh grade. … Public school education in New York — and elsewhere — has become an overt fraud. … What are the those in charge thinking? First and foremost, about themselves. They realize that their ‘business model’ — a system which has made the genuine education of children and genuine accountability of teachers utterly meaningless — is an ongoing failure. How do you fix failure? In the real world, failure is fixed by adopting no-nonsense standards — and getting rid of employees incapable of meeting them. In the world of unionized pubic schools, failure is ‘fixed’ simply by changing the definition of the word. In other words, failure equals success because ‘we say so.’ And why do we say so? Because we are politicians beholden to the unions. … And make no mistake: this is a fraud made possible because the Democrat Party is its chief enabler. Over the last twenty years, the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, has given ninety-seven percent of its campaign contributions to Democratic candidates. In return, Democrats have opposed everything which threatens the unions’ status quo: school choice, ending tenure, instituting merit pay, charter schools, standardized tests and anything else which would allow Americans to clearly understand what a joke public school education has become.”
The politically correct world that our teachers ply their trade is not one that I want my children exposed to. The real world does not accept failure. I want my kids to know there is a meritocracy in life. That striving for first is okay. That if you fail, then you have failed and must do better. Like he says: “…what a joke public school education has become.” My children deserve better.
