Ron Paul Introduces for Homeschoolers the 'Ron Paul Curriculum' FREE grades 1-5

[compromise]

http://www.ronpaulcurriculum.com/

Welcome to the Ron Paul Curriculum​

Here, you and your children can get an education in liberty like no other. I invite parents to take courses and participate on forums -- to get the education they never had. Parents do not pay for the individual courses that they purchase for their children.

Here, students learn the basics of Western Civilization and Western liberty -- how it was won, how it is being lost, and how it will be restored. (Not can . . . will.)

Students also learn the basics of American history, the United States Constitution, and American geography.

They get two courses on free market economics. They get two courses on government, including a how-to course on reclaiming America, one county at a time.

Students get mathematics, either through calculus or statistics or both.

They get the basics of science: earth science, biology, chemistry, and physics.

They also learn how to start a home-based business. Here is the story . . . in under five minutes.



When completed and online, the curriculum's first six years -- instructional videos and course materials -- will be free. Some parents will decide to join the site, in order to participate in the K-5 forums, but membership is not mandatory. It is supplemental.

A Curriculum That Students Teach Each Other

This site will open on April 6, 2013

A student who goes through this curriculum, kindergarten through high school, will have a mastery of the foundations of liberty. There is no other curriculum on the Web to match it.

For students who hustle, they will enter college as juniors. They will quiz out of their first two years of college for about $2,500, total (today's money, of course). They will get into the work force as college graduates two years before their peers do.

The man who teaches the public speaking course in grade 9 and the literature courses for grades 6 through 8 graduated from an accredited college on his 18th birthday. He paid for his own college education by working part time in his own home business. It cost him under $15,000. It can be done. I recommend it.

If you are a parent, this should get your attention. I think students should be motivated.

I launched this site three months after my final day in Congress.

Under Congressional rules, I could not operate a business, even an educational one, while I was a member of Congress. So, I am catching up fast.

Today, you can enroll your child for $25. This will go to $250 a year on September 2, 2013. The $25 gives you and your child full access to this site until September 2. The student will be able to take Dr. Gary North's free course: high school preparation. It will cover study techniques, note-taking, speed reading, typing, leadership, public speaking, website creation, video production, screencast production. Even if you are long out of high school, you can still benefit from this course.

My suggestion: use the first name of your son or daughter, with the letter of your last name, e.g. chuckd or Sallyb. To enroll your child until September 2, click here.

On September 2, 2013, the tuition fee moves to $250. On that day, the following courses will be available: English: grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; history: grades 6, 7, 8, 10; math: grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; science: grades 6, 7, 8, 9, 10; public speaking; government; economics 1.

In addition to the yearly tuition fee, each course will cost $50. You can take them a la carte. This is how we pay our teachers.

When this curriculum is finished, which I hope will be in December 2015, it will be kindergarten through 12th grade.

The courses from kindergarten through the 5th grade will be free. I want to help homeschool families get started.

Once families recognize the value of my program, K-5, I think 80% of them will sign up for the next seven years.

The curriculum is mostly self-taught. If a student gets stuck, he can get help from other students on the course Q&A forums. Older students serve as tutors for younger students. They learn by teaching, which is a great way to master any new field.

This curriculum teaches people how to write. The main teachers in the social sciences and humanities, Dr. Gary North and Dr. Tom Woods, are both successful writers. They are both successful businessmen. They will teach your children how to write effectively and fast.

What if you want to take a course? It will cost you $50. But if you have paid for one of your children to take it, it's free to you for the full year of the course.

Students will be taught the basics of video production, website design, and Internet marketing. A few of them will have profitable businesses by the time they are 16.

A Curriculum Like No Other

Ron Paul
A student who goes through this curriculum, kindergarten through high school, will have a mastery of the foundations of liberty. There is no other curriculum on the Web to match it.



It does not assign textbooks. This saves families a lot of money. Textbooks cost a great deal of money. Almost all of the materials are free: toner and paper only. The few exceptions are modern novels and a few classic books on liberty, such as Hayek's The Road to Serfdom.

This curriculum is 98% self-taught above the 5th grade. Students teach themselves. Then they tutor each other.

Students start writing in the fourth grade. They do not stop until they graduate. I doubt that they will ever stop. Every high school student has to set up at least one website.

The curriculum centers around weekly essays. Parents should probably read them. If they want to grade them, that's fine. If they don't, that's also fine.

No student who gets through this curriculum will ever need to be nagged to get through college, graduate school, or a career. This curriculum teaches self-discipline. This is a crucial personal habit. It is mostly internal. It develops after years of working in an environment that requires self-disciplne.

For students who hustle, they will enter college as juniors. They will quiz out of their first two years of college for about $2,500, total (today's money, of course). They will get into the work force as college graduates two years before their peers do.

The man who teaches the public speaking course in grade 9 and the literature courses for grades 6 through 8 graduated from an accredited college on his 18th birthday. He paid for his own college education by working part time in his own home business. It cost him under $15,000. It can be done. I recommend it.

If you are a parent, this should get your attention. I think students should also be motivated. (I am assuming that students want to get out of school fast.)

I launched this site three months after my final day in Congress.

Under Congressional rules, I could not operate a business, even an educational one, while I was a member of Congress. So, I am catching up fast.

Video: High School Preparation Course

Dr. Gary North

The Ron Paul High School Curriculum is academically rigorous. A student who does not have the basics of time management, the memorization of facts, and writing skills is at a disadvantage. But a student needs far more than these skills to succeed.

My course covers these topics:

How to study, the difference between a person's job and his calling In life, personal goal-setting, time management, public speaking, and developing personal leadership.

As for technical skills, it covers speed reading, typing, note-taking and retrieval, software for essay writing, how to set up a YouTube channel, how to set up a WordPress blog site, and that most challenging skill, how to read a book.

Any student who enters high school without an understanding of these skills is not going to maximize the high school experience.

I call this the ABC course: the Academic Basics Course.



Maybe you would like to brush up on some of these skills. If your child is enrolled, you can take my course at no extra charge.

I am offering this course in preparation for the opening of the Ron Paul Curriculum on September 2, 2013. The course will stay online after opening day.

Here Is What Makes the Ron Paul Curriculum Unique

Gary North - April 12, 2013

We learn in several ways: reading, writing, and talking. This site lets students do all three.

Students in this program are 100% self-taught (or close to it) after grade 5. If a student gets stuck, there is help available from other students on the forums. There are no salaried instructors. That is how we keep the tuition fee low and the course fees low -- free, K-5.

This is how "the little red schoolhouse on the prairie" was taught up until World War I. The older, brighter students helped teach the younger ones. This system worked. Then it was scrapped. This site resurrects it.

The heart of this site's educations content is the courses: videos and reading materials. The heart of it pedagogically is the system of forums.


WHAT DOESN'T WORK . . . AND WHAT DOES

As the Director of Curriculum Development, I am constantly looking for ideas to make this curriculum better.

Recently, I came across a great book review on Amazon. The reviewer -- a computer programmer -- has it right. It's a review of standard economists' book: we need more taxes, more government schools, etc. The reviewer nailed it.

Goldin-Katz spend the bulk of the book hammering away on two points that everyone already knows: years of schooling on a national level correlates with industrialization, and years of schooling on a personal level correlates with income. Goldin-Katz spend precious few pages actually dealing with the causation issue, and never address any of the best arguments against their thesis. Nor is there any attempt to actually talk to people working in technology in order to understand more deeply why the correlation exists.
Let's examine in detail some of the flaws.

a) Goldin-Katz's base hypothesis is that years of schooling should continuously rise over time, as technology increases. But the very definition of technology is that you get more output for a given amount of input. Thus we should not expect a proportional increase in education to take advantage of new technology. Indeed, this is what we see on the ground. As a programmer in 2009, I no longer need to learn a huge amount of information that my father needed to know. For my job, I do not need to assembly language, register hacks, memory allocation, pointer arithmetic, etc.

b) Goldin-Katz's hypothesis is at odds with the experience of all the recent college graduates I know. No one believes that education teaches job skills. A quick check of the top 10 most popular college majors shows that these majors have little to do with technology. Clearly if there is an income bonus from college education, it cannot be from teaching technology, because colleges do not actually teach technology.

c) Goldin-Katz's hypothesis is at odds with the life experience of most engineers I know. If you ask the typical, engineer, "How many years would it take, starting from the beginning of high school, and working efficiently, to reach an amount of knowledge where you could be a productively employed?" the answer is usually something like 1 to 3 years. If you look at the actual skills to do high tech jobs, you simply notice that very few require 8 years of full time schooling. You'll also notice that engineers universally deride schooling, and that they learn most of their skills by avoiding school work (this is especially true in high school). For more details Google the essay "Why nerds are unpopular" by Paul Graham.

I read Graham's essay years ago. It's great on why you should not send your child into today's tax-funded schools.

Technical skills are learned best on the job. The apprenticeship system is the way to go. The trade unions resisted this. But they are dead now, outside of government jobs.

If a student finishes high school at (say) 16 or 17, then it's time to find a mentor who will apprentice the high school graduate locally. The student gets a technical skill that has a market.

Meanwhile, the student takes CLEP and DSST exams to quiz out of college. By age 20, the student is a collage graduate, which the student has paid for with wages from the apprenticeship job. He or she is ready for a career.

Bradley Fish, Jr., who will teaches public speaking to high schoolers, and 6th grade through eighth grade history, is an even better example. He received his B.A. degree in the month he turned 18. He began this program at age 14. College cost him around $13,000. He paid for the first two years of college by part-time work. And why not? When you do it his way, the first two years cost under $2,500. Then he paid them back over the next 12 months for the money he borrowed from them for upper division.

His parents' monetary cost of his college was zero. Zero is the nicest, roundest number I can think of.


WHAT SHOULD FORMAL EDUCATION ACCOMPLISH?

What should formal education accomplish? The more I think about this, the more I am convinced that it should be geared to teaching students a love for self-taught knowledge. John Taylor Gatto is an evangelist for this kind of education. He was a master teacher. Then he quit. He saw he was wasting his life in tax-funded schools.

The Ron Paul Curriculum will immunize students against nonsense. Show them how to spot bad arguments -- like the ones in the book that the reviewer devastated. Teach them how to think by teaching them basic logic -- different in different fields. After all, economics is not physics. Any attempt to make economics look like physics destroys economics, which economics departments did after 1950.

Teach the fundamentals of each field so that an intelligent student does not get fooled. A person cannot learn the fine points in any field in one year. He can learn enough to say: "I've heard that line before. It ignores the obvious." Teach what ought to be obvious.

Don't imitate colleges. Beginning college courses are taught as if every student will major in it. This is a huge mistake. There should be classes for non-majors. These should teach how to think critically in order not to get conned by the mainstream media. A few basic rules would be taught, with many case studies of what happens when people refuse to think straight.


MULTIPLE TRACKS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS

An ideal high school curriculum should have a track for a major and a separate track for non-majors. The student chooses as a freshman: math/science track, social sciences/humanities track, and a home business track. This is what the Ron Paul Curriculum will provide when it is complete in 2015. The non-track electives should be for immunization, not mastery.

I will teach economics this way, with one basic premise and three corollaries. Basic premise: "a free market economy is a giant auction." Corollary #1: "supply and demand." Corollary #2: "high bid wins." Corollary #3: "now, not later." This is all you really need. I wish most Ph.D. economists believed these three corollaries.

I will teach with images. Badges and guns (government). Bulldozer, shovel, teaspoon (capital theory). Wallet, gun, IOU, printing press (Keynesian economics). If a person comes up with the right image, he can't be fooled easily. Images are easier to recall than formulas. Teach with images.

I don't think it is possible to teach chemistry this way, but we can teach the social sciences this way, and we should. Formulas in the social sciences are mostly fake: crude and misleading imitations of physics.

Formal classroom or home school education should be for inspiration and ideological immunization. Homework in the humanities and social sciences should be devoted mainly to two things:

1. Analyzing historical documents and literature.
2. Posting the results on a WordPress blog and a YouTube channel
CONCLUSION

Beginning on September 2, the faculty of the Ron Paul Curriculum will begin to show students the basics of a free market-based curriculum. Maybe one of your children will be one of them.

In the meantime, you and your teenager can test my course on high school preparation. That will cost you $25: enrollment until September 2. Here is what it covers. After you watch this, enroll by clicking here.

This Site Is Phase 2 of My Revolution: Beyond Politics

Ron Paul

I hope you have read my book, The Revolution: A Manifesto. For that matter, I hope you read my follow-up book, Liberty Defined.

My next book is on reclaiming education, meaning kindergarten through high school. I believe homeschooling is the wave of the future. My book will spell out in greater detail what my idea of phase 2 of the revolution is all about. For now, this website will have to suffice.

This site is in its preliminary phase. It will open with a lot more courses and student forums on September 2. But there are useful materials available today. The main one is Dr. Gary North's high school preparation course, ABC: Academic Basics Course. Dr. North is the Director of Curriculum Development. He was my research assistant in my first term in Congress back in 1976.

Dr. North has assembled a first-rate faculty. Dr. Tom Woods will be teaching Western Civilization, government, the U.S. Constitution, and a unique course on the history of how America got into its wars, 1776 to today. How were they financed? What were the results?

Professor Timothy Terrell will teach a freshman course on personal finances. It will be the course you should have had way back when. It will teach about the uses and misuses of debt.

Bradley Fish, Jr. will teach courses in history and English in the middle school program, and he will offer a public speaking course to freshmen. He achieved something remarkable. In the month that he turned 18, he was awarded a bachelor's degree in business management from an accredited college. He began passing CLEP exams at age 14. He did all of the course work by examination for $13,000 -- total. He paid for most of this by running a lawn mowing business on weekends. He borrowed the rest from his parents. He paid it back within a year of graduation. There are teenagers who will enroll on this site who will achieve similar results.

His grandmother and mother will be teaching the free courses, K-5. His father will teach middle school math. There are 10 children in the family, ages 20 to 3. This is a family with homeschool experience.

Bojidar Marinov will teach high school math. It will combine algebra, geometry, and philosophy. It will end with calculus in the fourth year. He grew up under Communism in Bulgaria. His teaching approach combines East and West in a unique way: both theoretical and practical. He was a successful math teacher at a Houston community college.

Dr. North will teach two economics courses, a Western Civ and Western literature course. He will teach a course on starting a home-based business. He will even teach a course on how to write direct-mail advertising copy. There has never been a high school course like this one. I think some parents may take this course. Dr. North has been writing ads for 39 years.

There are no textbook expenses. The only textbook is in Western Civilization, and it's free. There will be a few books to buy, such as F. A. Hayek's Road to Serfdom, but no textbooks.

You can sign up for a "test drive" today for $25. That will let a student take Dr. North's course on high school preparation. Whether the student re-enrolls or not, that course will be a tremendous experience.

I recommend that you enroll today through September 1. This offer comes with a 100% money-back guarantee. It costs $25.

Be sure to sign up for my free Tip of the Week on homeschooling. Use the subscription box on the upper right-hand side of your screen, just under the masthead.

Liberty Just Took a Huge Step Forward

Tom Woods - April 11, 2013

Almost nothing I learned during my formal schooling, all the way through twelfth grade, gave the slightest impression that liberty and free markets might be desirable. Like most students, I was taught that a free society means monopoly, low wages, appalling working conditions, environmental degradation, general impoverishment, and countless other forms of oppression.

I was among the lucky ones: I had a father who knew all the responses to the standard leftist claims. Had it not been for him, I can hardly bring myself to consider how I would have turned out.

But having knowledgeable or well-meaning parents is sometimes not enough. What chance do Mom and Dad have when, day in and day out, the alleged expert is implicitly telling the children that their parents are foolish and ignorant?

I've made something of a career out of challenging what kids are taught, especially about American history, in the ideological prison camps where they receive what is laughingly called an education. I am not supposed to do this, says the Establishment. When my book The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History hit the New York Times bestseller list, for example, the Times lectured me not for being wrong, but for saying things I just wasn't supposed to say.

But much better than running around correcting errors after the fact is steering people away from them in the first place, and that's what we're doing here.

In my regular column for this site I won't always speak about our curriculum directly, but in this inaugural essay I can hardly resist. What an opportunity lies before us. Can you imagine tens of thousands of students learning Austrian School economics, or the true history of the United States and Western civilization -- not to mention enjoying the great many other unique opportunities that Ron Paul's curriculum will make available to students?

I would give my right arm to have had a chance like this when I was a young student.

Instead of fighting with teachers, school boards, and textbooks, parents can take comfort in knowing that their children are learning precisely what they ought to be learning, and then some. I am proud and thrilled to be a part of it.

Family Outings Can Make Your Children Smarter.

Jacob Bear - April 04, 2013

We all know that rigor and discipline are critical. If a student doesn't put in the hours, they won't achieve their full potential. But new research supports the value of certain kinds of fun time.

Last week The British Journal of Sports Medicine published a study that was conducted at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh.

Earlier, related research found that people who live near forested areas have lower levels of cortisol, a harmful stress hormone. People with attention deficit disorders demonstrate improved concentration after spending time around trees.

But the latest research was the first to provide real-time data. Young adults were fitted with portable electroencephalograms. Then they were asked to take a walk in a park, a quiet urban neighborhood, and a busy city center. The site of grown men and women with wires coming out of their heads probably raised the stress levels of many onlookers. But the subjects walking in the park reached a peaceful mental state that psychologists call "effortless attention."

A mind in this state is able to process a lot of information without fatigue. This is an optimum state of mind for studying, and that's where time in nature really pays off. The more time a child spends in "effortless attention," the easier it is to attain this state of mind at will.

The implications of this research are encouraging. Whenever you take your kids camping, hiking, on a picnic or a retreat, you're teaching them how to muster effortless attention. You get to spend more quality time with your children, everyone has fun, and you're actually increasing the capacity to learn.

Best of all, you don't have to glue a bunch of wires in your hair. The good folks in Edinburgh have already done that part for you.

If you're interested, you can read about the original research here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23467965

Math Education: Guesswork vs. Systematic Logic

"I dunno. What is it? Is it m squared? One over m squared? Just m? m to the fourth power? . . . I dunno."

"Toni," I am interrupting the avalanche of guesses, "why don't we do it the right way? Instead of trying to guess what it is, just write it down, and do it by steps, one after another, using the properties of exponents we've learned so far." She ignores my advice. "I got it! It's m to the negative fourth power. Right?" She is now looking at me, trying to guess from the expression on my face if she guessed it right.

I send her to the white board with a dry-erase marker in her hand. She writes the problem:

"OK, now, what's the first step?" There is only one logical way to develop this problem so I take it for granted that it won't be hard for her, with her knowledge of the rules and properties of exponents, to develop it.

Her face is telling me she has no idea what to do.

Toni had just graduated from high school in Houston, in a school district with a perfect reputation. (You know, not one of those school districts.) She thought she was ready for college. She found out she wasn't. The Compass test revealed she needed to go through courses of Remedial Math at the local community college before she could hope to get admitted in a university. She enrolled in my class. She ended up having to use the services of a tutor in order to get through math. I happened also to be tutoring at that same college. Toni wasn't stupid. And she wasn't ignorant. She knew the rules of mathematics. But she didn't grasp the logic behind math. If a problem took one step to solve, she would do it perfectly. If the problem took more than one step to solve, Toni had no training whatsoever to sit down and patiently develop every individual step. Her first instinct was to try to guess the answer at the first step.

Behind another desk in the tutoring room, there was Tony. An Italian young man whose father was hired by an oil company in Houston. Tony realized he could get an easy degree while in the US with his father; easy, that is, compared to the trials and tribulations students have to go through in the universities of his native Italy. Tony was working that day on integration techniques. If there is any area in college math that requires guesswork and intuition, it is integration techniques in Calculus. And yet, on the sheets on the desk in front of Tony I could see systematic development of every integral, one step after another, as he went through the trial-and-error process of integrating functions. He would only call me for help when nothing ever worked. He knew the process. And he knew the logic.

"Ha!" Tony chuckled when he first entered the tutoring room to ask for help, at the start of the semester, and continued in his melodious Italian accent, "I am not surprised to see a European professor here. They have no math education here. They are trained to do lottery, not math. Their tests are largely guesswork. If I had their tests in school back in Italy, school would be a piece of cake."

I knew what he was talking about. In my school days back in Bulgaria, we had no multiple option tests of one hundred simple problems. We had 5 or 6 problems, fairly complex, and we were expected to develop them, one step after another. Technical mistakes were sometimes forgiven if knowledge of principles and logic of mathematics was demonstrated to a satisfactory level. One or two problems were always proof problems; so logic had to be employed, and solution had to be developed in steps. We had to think. Trying to guess anything wouldn't help us at all; for there was no limited number of solutions from which we could pick one. Gambling was of no use at exams; and neither was intuition.

And most of us, when faced with a problem, sat down and developed the solution, one step after another, using the logical process we have been taught. Life is not fragmented into a limited number of options for us to gamble our way through; and our math wasn't fragmented either.

But in American education, mathematics -- like everything else -- is fragmented into little useless pieces. And any restoration of math education in America must start with integrating the pieces into mathematical reasoning, to build a larger picture of mathematics to our children, who will be the problem-solvers of tomorrow. Mathematical reasoning in a whole, systematic, comprehensive way, rather than the fragmented education that makes them try to guess the answers only to be able to pass a test.

That's where we need to start from.

 

[Christian Liberty]

and how it will be restored. (Not can . . . will.)

Ron Paul is more confident than I am. I wish I could be that optimistic.

In any case, this looks absolutely awesome. If I ever have kids I am enrolling them in this

awesome.

 

[itshappening]

I can't believe they're going to do 13 YEARS of lessons, videos, assignments etc. how long is that going to take them?

That's an enormous undertaking. Kudos to Ron, Tom Woods, Gary North and others involved.

 

[josiahkeller]

I SO wish that I had to do all of school over again!

 

[sailingaway]

how do you 'quiz out' of college (a bunch of colleges don't even accept APs) and is the course accredited for high school?

The idea is wonderful. I have a million questions, though!

 

[sailingaway]

Why isn't this on the front page? This is big news!

because I just got here. I was going to put the Harper magazine on the front, and still will because I want it to 'tweet out' to the RPF list, but I will put this there too. I wish he had graphics. (MARKETING, Ron!!).

Actually, with the college bubble bursting there will be a lot of teachers who will be willing to make the move if the are convinced of this project I expect. But with the college bubble bursting I bet they will ALSO have government against them in every possible 'rule making' way along the way.

I wonder if they will affiliate with a college, George Mason, maybe?
