Talk:Essay:Proposed Homeschool Constitution (view source)
Revision as of 14:44, September 27, 2008
, 14:44, September 27, 2008I trust homeschooling parents to make the decisions that are best for their children.
: As to foreign-language-speaking homeschoolers who teach in their foreign language, they are raising kids who won't be able to function and contribute in America as well as they could have if they had adopted English as the language. Again, the point is to make the most of this education. Those who want bilingual education can get it from public school, and unfortunately suffer because of it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 22:49, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

::''you seem to disagree on One through Four, preferring instead a lack of a standard'' I reject the "one size fits all" standards-based approach of the government schools, and simply trust homeschooling parents to make the choices that are best for their children. Similarly, I trust groups of Christian homeschoolers to create the classes and other activities that they feel will best serve their members' children, whether that means using a secular Usborne history book and skipping the first two or three pages, or not bothering with phonics instruction for kids who pick up reading from being read to, or not offering a history class if there are not enough potential students to pay the instructor, or holding gym class in French to help kids practice their foreign language skills with each other and to nurture their appreciation for local heritage and culture. I trust homeschoolers to make the best decisions for their own children. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 10:44, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
