How?

[tribute_13]

You can learn everything you need from your parents.
Your parents are educated.
I plan to teach my children everything I know, especially my skills/trades.

If I relied on my parents to teach me, I'd be knee deep in drugs, alcohol, and shit right now.

Not the best of advice for some people.

I posted two possible routes of education.
Your learned your first words and first steps from your parents, but it they fall short after that, apprenticeship is a great route to learning.

With vouchers, we're still at the mercy of The Almighty State. Vouchers are tantamount to asking permission from The Almighty State, for where we want to send our children to school. That's after our tax dollars are laundered through DC.

Local taxes pay for the majority of schools.

While I believe the free market can fix these problems, when there has been so much intervention, the intervention needs to be phased out slowly to avoid losing a generation of two while we get our collective acts together. Also, I don't believe parents are educated enough to make the right choices for education.

I look at it this way, if you take a hostage you want to be released, but if you are in a speeding car you wouldn't want to be thrown out immediately. The best situation would be for the car to be slowed down, to be untied, for the door to be opened, and to be give enough time to get out.

I think we need to begin injecting market principles into education.

1) Eliminate the NEA. People say they want national standards, but they dont mean it. parents in kansas want their kids to learn the bible. Parents in LA want their kids to learn spanish. Parents in Florida want their kids to learn...oranges. I dunno. Keep it local.

2) Vouchers. If you have a kid, you get a voucher. Private and public schools can accept them. Suddenly a better performing school will get a bigger chunk of the pie. Maybe your kid learns "hands-on", maybe your kid is a sports enthusiast, maybe he is a wrote learner- find the best school for them and send them there.

3) Watch as bad ideas fail, and good ideas get copied.

4) When the good teachers, schools, and ideas float to the top it will be easier to discuss transitioning away from a voucher system- though many communities may decide to provide this as a way to insure an educated populace. I know I would support it under the conditions I described- no federal standards and competition between schools.

Phase the vouchers out as well over 24 year period. That's enough time for TWO generations to get edjoomicated.

According to this book and website the children are exposed with propaganda.

 

[Godfather89]

Parents must teach their children how to read phonetically.

Very simple, set your child in your lap, pick a book with few pictures, slowly read out loud while underlining each word with your finger. Early in the 19th century, America had the highest literacy rate in the world and this was how it was done. Books are the stepping stones of civilization.

Few other suggestions, throw that damn tv out of the house, structure your life so you don't have 'strangers' raising your kids, and keep researching this topic of compulsory education. What you may discover is far more insidious than almost any other bondage you can contemplate--how to systematically retard an individual's self-determination for control & profit.



Read 'The Underground History of American Education' by John Taylor Gatto, whole book online here: http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters/index.htm

Yeah, I would believe it all, more of the same NWO Bullshit... Remember people are ignorant, but for virtue sake lets look back to God than, when Christ was Crucified and suffering he said "Father have mercy for they know not what they do!" Have compassion and wake up those who sleep (the ignorant and dumbed down).

The entertainment industry and the poor education together does not help...

I prefer the voucher system. It's a proven winner here in Milwaukee and over in Europe.

Everyone learns differently.

I stopped attending school in the 8th grade. I taught myself a ton of stuff over the next several years and ended up in college for engineering,

If you have the drive to educate yourself, you will figure out a way. More people would have the drive for self-education if compulsory schooling wasn't forced on everyone.

So, you didn't let schooling get in the way of your education....way to go

How does one get educated without the public education system we have today? I know that most is payed via our local and state taxes. So how do we educate people with the simplest of education (Math / Literacy / Science / History) without The Department of Education in Federal Government? I know we did not always have it like this, how was it done and knowing that our society has advanced as it has today how do we continue to do so?

They would pay to have their kids to go to private schools.

Educational home study courses on any topic you can think of are already being sold by private companies on the internet, for far less than the cost of formal education....

And usually of higher quality, like in the case of The Good Old Dr. Paul Himself.

That's sounds great, their competing would hopefully bring in more customers and lower taxes and actually make teachers work instead of do nothing but use the title to get benefits! What if however you cant afford? I guess self-education is the way, including homeschooling.
