I...Lord, they have enough siblings already. LOL <br />I'm all for homeschooling. Our government sure isnt though, proven by their not giving the German family asylum so that they can homeschool their children. I guess they aren't reliable democrat voters.<br />peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308508527876711401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15034156.post-15510155688629981782013-05-14T11:58:03.564-05:002013-05-14T11:58:03.564-05:00Story The Second -- actively teaching children to ...<i>Story The Second -- actively teaching children to be agents of the state.</i><br /><br />There is a nonsubtle move to make the school the family, rather than the family.<br /><br />I mentioned before on this blog that my two oldest girls got in trouble for going to breakfast together,and for Bobbie walking Linda to her class afterwards, although it didn't make her late to her own class.<br /><br />Last year, the girls were chided by a teacher for sticking together over other students. I no longer remember the exact words used, but the upshot was "at school, they're all your siblings."

And that was a private school (religious) not public.<br /><br />Unfortunetly for me she refused to be swayed by my arguements, and infact proceeded to "prove" that I obviously hadn't read it by asking me what the first word was on a specific page......<br /><br />Also unfortunetly for me I didn't tell my parents about it. I'm not sure why I didn't. I should have. I highly suspect that that particular teacher would have no longer been teaching at that school by the time my mother got done with her.

Because, yanno, everyone needs to get a trophy just for participating. Don't have to do anything to actually earn it- except participate. bah.Riebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695207251732849739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15034156.post-75277351630955509352013-05-12T16:46:54.121-05:002013-05-12T16:46:54.121-05:00"... responds with something along the lines ..."... responds with something along the lines of 'There's no way you read that that quickly, try again.'" <br /> <br />Heh. Not really a new problem. In 1951 I was in 1st grade, and my teacher flunked me for my assigned paragraph of writing. My mom read it and saw nothing wrong, so confronted the teacher - who said I could not have done the writing, as even the colon was used properly but had never been taught. <br /> <br />Fireworks. Mom pointed out that I was not only reading our two daily newspapers but also several magazines, and my older siblings mystery novels, and learning was not limited to what some bureaucrat thought "age appropriate."
