Group Homeschooling by PopPopThePatriot
"To ensure the well-being of your children and safeguard their education, it is crucial to reconsider the idea of homeschooling before the upcoming school year commences. By exploring this alternative, you can prevent the risk of your children becoming mere cogs in the state's educational machinery.
If you genuinely care about your children and prioritize their development, it's worth reassessing your financial commitments. Can you eliminate unnecessary expenses like a $600 car payment, $200 DirecTV subscription, $250 cell phone plan, $8 Vente Latte, or $12 daily fast food lunches? Both parents don't necessarily have to work outside the home. For single parents, consider forming a co-op with other single parents, pooling together your resources for before and after school care, and hiring a teacher to facilitate group homeschooling for your children.
Look for a church or community center that may generously provide space in exchange for a donation. Parents can take turns picking up and dropping off the children, creating a collaborative environment.
Now, you may wonder about the financial aspect. You can repurpose the money you would typically spend on before and after school care. For instance, if you have 15 kids, redirecting the $500 monthly fee would amount to $7,500 per month ($90,000 per year). This substantial sum can cover the cost of renting a suitable space and hiring a competent teacher. This approach has been successfully implemented across the United States, originating from the necessity prompted by stringent school shutdowns.
Moreover, most states already offer virtual academies that provide education free of charge. My daughter attended the Iowa Virtual Academy until 11th grade and subsequently joined the Clay Virtual Academy in Florida for her senior year. With approximately three hours of school work per day, she enjoyed the flexibility of taking vacations whenever we pleased, as long as she had her laptop. Additionally, she completed each school year a month ahead of schedule and relished extended summer breaks. It truly was a win-win situation.
It's important to recognize that homeschooling enables students to benefit from engaging in district sports, dances, and other school-sponsored activities. This means that even though they are not physically attending a traditional school, they can still participate in these enriching experiences that contribute to their holistic development.
In conclusion, making the necessary sacrifices now to transition your children out of government schools can profoundly impact their lives and provide them with a superior educational experience. The rewards are twofold: securing their future and allowing them to thrive in a supportive homeschooling environment."
