My daughter was so excited to open this box of books! I'll be reading these along with her.
Public school: 'We need committees to approve reading lists'.Homeschool mom: *Orders entire classical library*. One creates readers. The other creates red tape.

My 11-year-old daughter has plunged head first into the Redwall series. I've heard great recommendations for this series over the years.

If you're hesitant about homeschooling because it would mean restructuring your work life, you're not alone. Many have been in that position. Don't let hesitation prevent you from exploring these 6 questions. •Can you quit your job?.•Can you work from home?.•Can you get a.

Illegal immigration is a crime. All illegal aliens are criminals. Enforce our laws. Deport ALL illegal aliens.

Since the defunding of some foreign aid, many exclaim, "People are going to die!" as if that's a revelation. We're all going to die. The question is, will you die covered by the blood of Jesus Christ or not? I know I will.

No credential can replace love. No government certificate can replace conviction. I homeschool because I’m accountable to the eternal God of the Bible, not temporary earthly government.

"If I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t be terrified of homeschooling. I would be terrified of public education and their lack of responsibility to these kids and lack of any accountability when they fail to teach with high expectations.".
My son attended 7th grade in Joliet. He was an A/B student according to his report cards. Never a grade issue. Never a discipline issue. He is currently repeating 7th ELA and math through an online private school. He has a 58% in ELA. He cannot write complete sentences. He

Found this in my local bookstore for $5. If your child is having reading problems, don't wait for the public school bureaucracy to remediate. Take control and teach your child to read.

Why do I homeschool? Illegal aliens don't need vaccine exemptions to attend public schools, but American citizens do. Illegal alien children are shoved into public schools while their vaccine status is unknown. This two-tiered system of laws is destroying our country.
We need to make sure parents have access to religious exemptions for vaccines for their children in all 50 states. If you’re having trouble in your state, leave a comment below.

The real enemy isn’t homeschool weirdness. It's the lie that individuality must be suppressed to belong.

Share this article with anyone who says illegal aliens haven't been receiving Medicaid. You have to read further in the article before the Tribune admits these immigrants are in the country ILLEGALLY. Enough is enough. Enforce our laws. Defund and deport all illegal aliens.
In Illinois, adult immigrants ages 42-64 without legal status have lost their health care to save an estimated $404 million.

We all have presuppositions. Some of us are willing to admit that. Many are not.
Yes, I’ll admit it—I start with the Bible!. I remember one time, a few years ago, a well-known atheist in the US was interviewing me in my office concerning the creation/evolution issue and the book of Genesis. The conversation went something like this:. “So you admit that you.

21 years ago today, I birthed my oldest daughter into the world. She was never just a "clump of cells." Not at conception, not in the first trimester, second trimester, or third trimester. Like all human beings, she's a reward from God and bears His image.

Murdering unborn babies isn't "healthcare", and chemically and surgically mutilating children isn't "gender affirming care." In both cases, children's lives are destroyed to satisfy adult desires. This is what a culture of death looks like.

A culture of life extends beyond babies in the womb. All human beings are image bearers of God and should be treated with dignity and respect no matter their size, location, economic status, or ability.

How do you teach children to read regardless of their socioeconomic status? The Science of Reading is clear; direct systematic phonics instruction works.
Imagine a school district where every child learns to read. Dreamy, right?. That’s reality in Steubenville, Ohio — featured in @ehanford’s latest podcast. A powerful example for the nation. Let’s learn from Steubenville. @NCTQ @reading_league @salmahayek @NationalParents

"When you exhibit a positive attitude about an activity, and then confirm that you have acquired that attitude by engaging in the activity yourself, it will be a powerful encouragement to your children to follow in your footsteps. Introduce writing to your children early, and.

Why do I homeschool? The ability to read well for sustained periods of time strengthens ones ability to think, wrestle with ideas, form logical conclusions, and communicate persuasively. Without these skills, students are vulnerable to Marxist propaganda.
Most adults have no clue that the majority of entering undergrads can’t read a book. They’re so reliant upon short YouTube summaries, AI, etc that they literally don’t have the ability to sit down uninterruptedly and with patience read a book of depth. They flatly don’t know how.

If true, this is heartbreaking. As a parent with a 23-year-old autistic son, I know how hard it is to get services and how expensive care is. This is why I support getting fraud, waste, and abuse out of Medicaid.
🚨 BREAKING: 85 Autism Centers in Minnesota are under investigation for fraudulently billing Medicaid. The program started with just $1.2M in its first year. Now it’s billing over $228M in 2024 alone. Welcome to Tim Walz’s Minnesota.

This is why I classically homeschool. As human beings, we have deeper longings that can't be fulfilled by getting a job. Education is so much more. No matter your station in life, the ability to read, think deeply & logically, and communicate persuasively is of great value.
In case you missed Jennifer Frey’s New York Times article that is setting the internet on fire — here’s a summary of her powerful critique of how universities are failing students who want a true liberal arts education. A thread 🧵

The ability to read, comprehend what you read, identify illogical arguments, make sound judgments, and communicate persuasively with others, liberates the individual. That's precisely why this isn't taught in public schools.
