Talk:Essay:Proposed Homeschool Constitution (view source)
Revision as of 14:59, September 27, 2008
, 14:59, September 27, 2008→Some thoughts: AP
::''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)

::Oh - and speaking of standards, I was curious - I have noticed that you have stated that your American History class can be used to prepare students for the AP exams. The college board has standards for courses that can be called "AP", and even homeschooling courses must go through a process of syllabus review before using this label on transcripts. I haven't seen any mention of this review on your course materials. Has your course been through this review process? --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 10:59, 27 September 2008 (EDT)
