My son played a gig in a New Jersey bar this weekend and a girl came to watch him.

I feel like everything has changed, again.

PreK is a brand new thing. Kindergarten was new and voluntary when I was born (1979). The idea that humans can’t learn how to socialize without a school system that has only existed for ~100 yrs is absurd.

Private schools are accredited by the same government that runs public schools.The rules and regulations are indistinguishable. If you look at John Taylor Gatto’s history of the American school system, you will see that all schools are training children to be factory workers. The only difference is that private schools produce more factory managers.

1. More Personalized Education: You can’t get more personalized than home education.

2. Better Grades: Grades do not exist in the real world. To acheive goals, individuals must learn what motivates them and how to motivate themselves.

3. Friends: Social opportunities abound with home education. Children get to build friendships with children and adults of all ages. In school, it is frowned upon to have a friend who is even a few months different in age if that child happens to be in a different grade.

Homeschoolers are more varied in interests than those in school. There is greater diversity of thought and belief than are allowed in school.

The “success” question is fear-based. Once you let go of ego-attachment to your child’s future, you can have a positive relationship with them in the present.
