Get Your Kids Out Of Public School

The face of socialized “education” is really starting to rear its ugly head now.  It’s always been bad but now it is going nightmare-level bad very quickly.

While I could pick from hundreds of public school atrocities from this week alone, just take a look at these two, both in the supposed “freer” state of Texas.

On January 28th, it was reported, that nearly two dozen elementary school boys and girls (age 11) were stripsearched in Gustine, Texas, after some feces was found on the gym floor.  Call me old fashioned, but back in my day, something like this would be dealt with via some questioning and some stern words from the Principal.  It definitely wouldn’t have been handled by strip searching the entire class in, what can only be assumed, was a search for some left over remnants of poo that may pin the culprit?

As if that wasn’t bad enough, three days later, Bill HB 868, or “The Teacher’s Protection Act” was put forth in the state’s legislature.  The proposed bill affords teachers legal immunity in the “unlikely event” that they happen to kill any of their students during school-sanctioned events.

Yes, you read that right.  The bill wants to make it so that if a teacher kills their student(s), no matter what the circumstance, the teacher has legal immunity!

You have to love these socialists/statists… most of their ridiculous laws are always enacted under the guise that “we have to protect the children”.  Now, apparently, the kids aren’t so important and we must now “protect the teachers”.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I consider it a form of child abuse to force your children into these indoctrination camps.

And they are indoctrination camps.  

Boy In A Band recently came out with a great track called “Don’t Stay In School” which mirrors a lot of my thoughts on school.

Of course, many in the US have both the father and mother working fulltime just to be able to pay all the taxes and keep up with the Federal Reserve’s inflation and may think they have no other option other than public school for their children.

If this is your situation I would first try to earn more money and do so in such a way as to pay less taxes.  I’d also look to earn more income via the internet so you can just leave the US to live a freer life.

Peaceful Parenting And Unschooling

There are plenty of options in regards to providing your children will the skills they need in life and none of them have to do with public school which will mostly just waste 12 years of their life.

In my personal situation, with an 8 and 10 year old, they happily go to a Montessori school in Acapulco that is, perhaps, the nicest place I’ve ever been.  It’s mostly outdoors with big trees, an olympic size swimming pool and loving and caring teachers.  The cost? Under $400/month (the same style school in New York state is about $3,000/month).

But, school, in any form, is unnecessary.  The reason?  Kids want to learn.  They yearn for knowledge and it is often the drudgery of being forced to learn about things they are not interested in in traditional schools that demotivates them from wanting to learn.

Dayna Martin is a world expert on unschooling and none of her kids have ever been in a school.  Her oldest son, in his early teens, has already owned and operated numerous businesses.
