Education

I personally know many many public school teachers and I'm sure that what I say may offend some but I feel the need to say what is on my mind.

So many of us have gone through the public school system ourselves. I enjoyed my schooling years but now that I'm older I look back and think of the things I could have learned by my parents side? My family has decided to homeschool and I as I look back my point of view has changed completely. I use to pity the homeschooled students and now I envy them.

With eyes open wide.... I see the public school system as a processing plant. It categorizes where in life you will go. Brainwashes you to take in lies and regurgitate those lies to pass the test. It's a place where they train our children how to take orders and not think for themselves. If you ask the wrong questions you're a disruption to the class....

John D. Rockefeller was the one who established the National Education Association and said this, "I dont want a nation of thinkers, I want a nation of workers." I believe that says it all... The man who established the NEA? Said WHAT?? Now did you know when the government began to get involved with education that test score averages dropped? SAT scores in 1900 to 1994 dropped 73%.

Bell rings. You enter in sit at you desk getting trained in various subjects. Bell rings. You get up and eat lunch. Bell rings. You sit at your desk again and continue trainning. Bell rings. Time to leave school. Bell rings. You're back at school getting brainedwashed.

Bell rings. You enter and sit at you desk doing what you were trained to do. Bell rings. Time to eat lunch. Bell rings. You come back to your desk and continue work. Bell rings. Time to go home. Bell rings. You start you day over again only difference is you're working for the MAN.

Is a stranger to know your child better than YOU?? I don't believe so... Then why is it that we daily send our children off into the hands of strangers? Why do they have them in their critical year? Ages 4-18 When they are so maluable?

I believe that they want passive stupid people to nod their heads and do as they are told.
When an elephant is young they tie his foot to a tree stump. No matter how hard they try to run they can't because they aren't strong enough. As that elephant grows older it is still tied to the same stump. He can only walk so far untill he feels that tug and stops. He believes that he reached his limits but in reality he can break through that barrier and be free. Same as public schools... as they place our minds in this box to become those passive people who wont think outside the box, (or should I say sardine can?)

I'm sure I stepped on a few toes but I must say sorry we dont have the same views. I just wanted to give some people a little something to digest and open your horizons.

By the way HAPPY EASTER!! :P

Happy Easter Sweetie!

This is a Blog of my Christian walk as a Homeschooling Housewife. A young mother of 3 rambunctious boy, they are gifts from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5
