More Blacks opting to home school
More Black families are deciding to educate their children at home, according to an AP piece in The State. And why not? As government schools take it upon themselves to indoctrinate more and educate less, the home education movement will continue to flourish, as it should.
The bogus claim that home educated students suffered from the lack of socialization which, supposedly, only government schools could offer, may now be the very reason NOT to send children to the failing government schools. The "socialization" in government schools is demonstrably a negative influence on children.
The sub-culture of insolence, drugs, promiscuity and lack of discipline, rampant in so many of the urban schools, not to mention the lack of education, have spawned a desperate need for alternative schooling in cities across the country. Poor Black families, who often live in blighted urban areas, in the past have had no choice in where and how their children could be educated.
Powerful leftwing Teachers Unions, like the NEA, have decried school choice and school vouchers and have left parents no other choice but to take responsibility for the education of their own children in what is, most assuredly, a safer, more loving environment...their own homes.
This growing phenomenon is producing well mannered, well rounded, intelligent young people who are being sought out by colleges. The home education movement is gaining credibility and popularity because it is succeeding in producing quality students.
The success of home schooling is a threat, like no other, to the proponents of government education. Like so many failing leftwing institutions, schools and administrators are threatened by the success of home schoolers because it renders them virtually irrelevant. Not only can parents educate their children for a fraction of the cost, but they can actually do a far better job.
It may not be possible for everyone to educate their children at home, but it's definitely a viable option.
