Homeschooling

states,"By taking the constant threat of harassment and discrimination out of the picture, homeschooling provides African-American parents the space and time to educate and socialize their children for optimal personal development." This evidence shows me that parents want to homeschool their children because of racial discrimination, such as racial bullying. Also, in the article,"The Rise of Homeschooling Among Black Families." by "The Atlantic" it states" Marvell, now 7 and in the second grade…

had my life planned out believing it was God’s will also. I married my husband at the age of twenty and together we entered the ministry field. God blessed us with three wonderful kids and laid upon our hearts the notion of homeschooling. Since that time I have been a homeschooling mother and a pastor’s wife. Almost two years ago my husband suddenly passed away, leaving me reeling and trying to figure out why God believed it was time for him to leave this earth. I quickly went into a downward…

The New York City Teacher of the Year, John Gatto, argues in “Against School- How public education cripples our kids today, and why” that the school system is taking advantage of the students mind. Gatto states that not everyone has to go to school in order to be successful, but the school system is enforcing that everyone must go to school. Education can be accomplished anywhere, according to Gatto, but schooling is tearing down peoples ability to think, also “dumbing down” society. John Gatto…

Biblical Foundations A curriculum that does not lead to the Savior is meaningless, never reaching its full potential. God’s Word is the standard in which all other curriculum is to be measured. As Christians, all emphasis is to bring glory and honor to Him, the Creator and Sustainer of all things. Within the Christian educational setting, Biblical truths are centered on the planning of all subject matter content as well as spiritual instruction as revealed by God. A curriculum focused on…

It was 5:15 in the morning, and my mother had just finished giving birth to a healthy, 7 pound, baby girl—me. After I was born, my mother had to fend me off from dozens of nurses, who all wanted to hold me and take a look at me. My mother said that I was the chubbiest and cutest baby she had ever seen. My father and mother both cried tears of joy right after I was born. Apparently, I was the only girl to have been born in that hospital that whole night/morning. However, I would have never…

So in second grade, I began to homeschool. Homeschooling was one of the best decisions my family ever made. Through homeschooling, I was able to overcome my shyness in a way that I do not believe I ever would have had I remained in public school. I gained such a confidence through homeschool, and although it made me “weird”, “awkward”, or “strange” to my friends in public school, homeschooling also provided me with opportunities to participate in sports, art, and other…

Homeschooling is becoming more and more popular in today’s society. and as I said before families choose to homeschool their children for a variety of reasons, including religious beliefs and a desire for their children to have a better education. Some families homeschool because they found that public school was too easy. When someone homeschools, the student can learn at his or her own rate. There are many stereotypes that homeschoolers have to deal with. One is that homeschooling is easier…

When attempting to understand the intricate political and social structures of a nation, it is of the utmost importance to begin the journey with an examination of its inhabitants. A country is defined by the actions of its people, who, for better or for worse, ultimately determine the long-term direction of the land no matter its form of government. The United States is no exception in this area. In fact, it can be said to be even more true of her as the people are given a previously…
