Obama: Your Child Will "Lose" Without Free "High Quality Pre-$chool"

Any parent that sends their children to "public (indoctrination) school" is guilty of child abuse. There are those that decry the (mis)perceived "lack of socialization" that homeschoolers experience. Let's see . . . public school "socialization" includes, cliques, drug use and unfettered sex, bullying and abuse by students and staff, "zero tolerance" for any idea espousing freedom, suspension for drawing a picture of a gun, etc. If that is what "socialization" is, I want no part of it for my children. Homeschooled children interact better with people of all ages . . .

I wish I had had the opportunity to homeschool when my kids were younger. It wasn't that popular back then and there wasn't much info on doing it. I wish my grandkids would be homeschooled but apparently, that's too much work for the parents, it might interrupt with their lazy days of doing nothing. I totally agree with you and add to the fact that the schools just push kids thru whether they are prepared or not and just don't get a diploma at the end of four years. They refuse to keep kids back to repeat a grade.I just saw an article where they want to teach kids how to perform oral sex correctly??? And we wonder why our kids don't have the education to compete in this world!

Great post. As a mother of a 4 year old, I plan on homeschooling my child starting this fall. Your points are very reassuring.

The laugh punch line comes at the end: "This works. We know it works."

Putting aside the fiscal issue, I don't think sending our kids to more government-run liberal educators is the solution.
