Hopefully this trend continues!

Keeping in mind, as it relates to propagandizing, so much easier when you have a captive audience, say .....a classroom, vs one student in his/her home with ideological parents

Pretty much means little. At that volume the effects are pretty much minimul. Remember it's not voluntarily meaning the subltle stuff gets lost in the kids head

[sirs]

Pretty much means little.

Not to me.  If folks want to lay claim to how potentially problematic it is for 1 student to be "brainwashed", by parents being home schooled. I'd counter that with the plethora of examples we have of leftist teachers & professors, openly pushing their ideals & politics, who have have the superior advantage of volume, and as noted prior, a captive audience.

I doubt that you even attended a college, you know so bloody little about them.  Judging from your warped understanding of American history and politics, if anyone did attempt to proselytize you, you are walking proof of their utterly miserable failure.

[sirs]

Professor wrong, strikes again.  Though I do appreciate the notion that kids can fight back and not be made to be sheep to follow the whims of whatever socialist is in power.  Be it teacher or President     

[kimba1]

Socialist ,liberal.

Aleays found it funny the two are considered similiar. As a chinese i actually kniw many communist and every single one of them is conservative due to similiar beliefs.

I've always said the high majority of people are by narure conservative but due to literally one or two small details the conservatives party tend to turn thier own people to the otherside

well good for you Kimba! But my nieces and nephews won't be learning the "gospel" of
faux man made global warming, the history of America being "evil", and the pro-homo agenda...
but again what it's all about is...2EachHisF-ingOwn!

They truly are, Kimba.  A Socialist is merely a liberal on ideological steroids.  And i agree with you, that people are naturally, if not raised leaning conservative.  Then they hit the Public Education sector, and with the help of the drumbeat of the MSM, all bets are off.

Got nothing to do with education. Alot of these folk don't even get u.s. Education . I did state it largely on the shoulder of the conservative party to keep thier numbers and they simply not very good at it.


It's the very reason the term compassionate conservative came about

[sirs]

Got nothing to do with education.

You're absolutely right....it doesn't/shouldn't.  And yet, its happening...on a daily basis.....across the country....starting as early as grade school.  No subject appears to be off limits, including math.  The reason those conservative #'s don't stay up is precisely what I just referred to, the opportunity that so many liberal educators have in injecting their ideology into a captive classroom, with the ability to affect FAR more minds, at early ages, than 1 fundamentalist parent can do to 1 child

[kimba1]

No
The number are down because the conservatives are doing a bad job. Your giving liberal way too much credit . i'll say again most folks are conservative meaning whatever education you are talking about has no baring . I'm stating some of the people who did not receive the liberal education your talking about.

Speaking of math. I remember the very issue that you may of refer to and it's false. Say an equation about dividing item equally amoung people is not communism it just math about division. I believe it same math applied for sevral decades before marx was around.

I started this on the matter schools not getting credit and as such people are writing them off . So it loos like you guys are in agreement all public school are a failure

[Xavier_Onassis]

Supporting the ruling government is always conservative, so in China, the Communists are the conservatives.  Modern socialism does not support the public ownership of the means of production, other than in areas in which the competitive forces of the market do not exist, like water, electricity, medicine, telecommunications, and the control or actual ownership of natural resources, such as minerals and hydrocarbons.

The main reason for homeschooling is NOT avoidance to the students being indoctrinated, since homeschooling tends to be for younger children, while the horrible propagandizing "Liberal" professors are at the university level. Of course, such evil minds are ineffective when up against geniuses like sirs, who resisted being indoctrinated by his professors of kinesiology and massage therapy.  They only manage to indoctrinate lesser minds, that otherwise would be fundamentalists or Republicans.

I suppose we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one, Kimba

I started this on the matter schools not getting credit and as such people are writing them off . So it loos like you guys are in agreement all public school are a failure

And I stated how I get irritated at blanket condemnations for the acts of some.  I was so hoping you wouldn't fall into that

[Xavier_Onassis]

There are thousands of public schools in the US. Some are excellent, others are horrible, and many are in between.
It is possible to compare RESULTS of student performance on tests,and this is done on a regular basis.

If a school does not share a core curriculum with the rest of the country, then results of tests used to compare different schools will not be valid.

There are thousands of homeschooled students and some turn out with superior educations, others horridly ignorant, with many in between.

The usual reason parents homeschool their children is because they think they can do a better job of it than convenient public and private schools.
The definition of "a good education" varies greatly with the parents.

Homeschooling to avoid "liberal indoctrination" is surely a lesser motive for parents to homeschool their children, just as building bunkers and stocking them with a 30 year supply of food and arsenals of weapons and ammo to prepare for Armageddon/ the collapse of civilization/ etc. is not a very common reaction to the current world political and economic situation.

[kimba1]

Notice it after i post it my bad.


But your not saying some schools also.
