Germany already did that. In fact, a very devout Christian family fled Germany and sought asylum in USA because they were caught home-schooling their children to evade the indoctrination of Germany's public schools. Apparently in Germany, that is illegal. They were granted asylum and have integrated with American culture and work. The Biden administration is now trying to deport them. Glenn Beck spoke of it today on his radio show and was furious. I believe Beck is going to try and bring them on his radio show soon.
Any increase in homeschooling I see as a good thing. But why the big increase of men staying at home? Because corporate America either laying off Caucasian men or won’t promote white men anymore. Corporate American and DEI is the biggest racist scandal in the world.
Prolly a little of that but the parents that work the hardest I know are all dads. Also, we are more likely to take on the task just to protect our kids from the bs going on at public schools.
This right here. If I could educate my son full time I would. My wife is very book smart but very emotion driven. Easy example. Built a gazebo off the back porch on a floating deck. No paperwork needed and fairly cheap. She first wanted it tied to the roof. Had to explain to her that I couldn’t do that. I don’t have the skill or know how and couldn’t pay someone else to do it. Then it was “just build it on top of the concrete patio right up to the back door and have the gazebo sit up against the roof”. Had to explain how the deck would cover about a foot of the doorway or more, would be a hazard, and the drainage between the two roofs would cause all sorts of nightmares. Besides that I’m sure there is some sort of restriction or law against doing that. All of this because “if it’s raining and I want to sit outside I have to walk 5 feet through the rain”. Pretty sure she is still aggravated.
I get it. I wanted a cover over an open patio behind the house. Both brothers said fine, but get your checkbook out. You'll need to raise the roofline so water doesn't flow into the basement. I didn't argue. One is an engineer,the other a master carpenter. I trust them. No go on patio until I can afford it.
If the gazebo is on the ground and you have frost, then you can't attach it directly to the house because the house is rock solid on a concrete foundation but the gazebo will rise and fall with the seasons. The exception is when you build on deep footings that go below the frost line. The easy solution is to make it free standing, but attached to something heavy to prevent wind lifting it.
You can build it to almost touch the house, and the roof overhang above will allow very little water down, especially if you have an eves trough.
You can make a nice pergola with a flat roof, and cover it with sheets of polycarbonate sheet from the Home Depot. You just adjust the supports for the sheets so that it drains and slopes away from the house.
I ended up with a 40 foot pergola that wraps around the back of the house, a clear roof, hot tub built in and I can walk out the dining room to the BBQ past the outdoor dining table without getting wet. In winter, I wrap it with woven greenhouse fabric to keep the snow out and for hot tub privacy. Nobody wants a wet swimsuit when it is -20. To block wind, I added glass panels and roller blinds. Then planted 1o grape vines to grow up the columns.
Just start small and add improvements each year. Your skills will also get better. At a minimum you need a chopsaw and drill to start.
Oh I’m not at all. Built a nice floating deck offset from the house. 14x12 with a nice gazebo on top. Wonderful place to hang out. So now we have the open 10x10 concrete patio with the deck built off of that. It was just a comment on how wife’s tend to let emotion get in the way of critical thinking.
Definitely adding to my oasis this year at some point. Don’t know what’s next.
Lol right. I mean I know you're probably not meaning that's a universal rule, but holy crap the amount of men I know who are still emotionally tied to sportsball and beer, are impulsive reactionaries, are addicted to porn or video games, is impressive. We can notice a trend but have to notice the weaknesses.
I mean it can be viewed from a few different angles. Women typically would spend more time with babies and raise them and protect them from typical every day harm. Men typically do the protecting against an overwhelming force.
Women are designed to protect. Men are designed to prepare. From the age of 4 onward boys should be spending more and more time with traditionally male duties. Modern society forces them into modern school which more closely relates to female duties. Most women are content with their boys eating cheats and playing video games all day because they are safe and happy. Men recognize that as a crisis. There really needs to be more male teachers. Abandoning public schools is a lolbertarian, cede ground proposition.
School was for book learners that would work in line jobs and cubicles without complaint. It shouldn't have been, so you were half right. Hope you got real education somewhere, though. Home school is the way to go, until we can get small, locally-managed schoolhouses again.
No. Public schools were designed by Humanists, who testified in front of Congress when they were asking for funding, saying they would replace family and church with government and state, produce obedient and compliant workers that would be ready for the "inevitable" consolidation with communism.
The government indoctrination centers are accomplishing EXACTLY what they were designed to do. The men who made them and run them are programming the kids as planned.
You can't fix it, is working perfectly. It must be torn down and replaced with what worked. Home schools, town schoolhouses directly paid for and managed by the community. DoE is a relic.
A lot have reverted back to the office though, my company has. I’d love to find a WFH job that pays $175k plus, to make the move justifiable. I have a few side projects I am working on so hopefully one of those take off.
Sorry, but but that's a stupid demand, if you're putting a comfort price over your family's well-being. We were ready to lose our jobs over the injection, got exemptions so they 'made' us WFH. Screw them, they can't make us go back now, werey pureblood. Besides were still ready to give up the jobs if our family life suffered. We've homeschool from the start, with grandparents' help. We're able to take part much more now, science and history have never been more fun. Taking a sun day instead of a rain day, either...
At this point my son is too young for school and we have a family babysitter. My wife or I will likely quit working once he is school age, so one of us can homeschool. If I can pull in that much she can quit and I can provide for the family.
Don’t jump to conclusions about someone based on one comment, you don’t know enough about them or their situation.
The work opportunity tax credit is an example of how they’ve purged white males from the labor side. Women, browns and vets provide employers with hefty tax savings that lower overall cost of doing business and allow fortune500 companies to operate in an otherwise socialist environment. Capitalism is being used to fuel socialist dreams.
A friend of mine was doing this for a while, but now him and his wife both work and he has the kids back in public school again. They have to make an effort daily to deprogram them and keep them based, because the school district here is full of leftist trash just like everywhere else. I don't envy their task.
It is tough. My youngest just started high school and I fought with the ex and wanted to send him to private school even though it would have meant a second job or some real sacrifices but I’d have done it. The kid also didn’t want to the private school: I try to at least make a dent when I’m with him. He loves Tom McDonald and President Trump and j have him going to church regularly so hopefully we are combatting it enough.
They went to work and put the kids in day care, be honest. They need to move to an affordable area, back breast parents, or join with parents and save their kids' SOULS!
Can't change an emotional bias with facts or logic. Change my mind.
But seriously, bro, everyone has talents from God. We're each made for certain things and we both know some men who are awesome teachers and some women who are awesome teachers, and let everybody just find their paths without artificial division. That's a demonic tool and we don't need it
That's just it. Men are usually less emotional and biased. Men tend to make decisions based more on fact than emotion. This predisposition alone makes the case.
I didn't say ALL men were better teachers than All women. I fail to see how making such a basic observation equates to demonicly dividing people. I do however believe we are in a fight of good vs evil; and not in some figurative way. Satan is working overtime to corrupt and kill every last one of us.
So therefore we work together according to our God-loaned talents. Many mighty good teachers are women, the first we have when we're little. But yes men need to step up and show what a good man is and does, both to the boys and the girls so they choose wisely.
I know you’re probably making some ghey “the Nazis were actually the good guys” argument but you’re only half wrong. There we’re no good guys in WWII and Prescott bush is basically responsible for the deaths of 250 million people.
FYI: Hitler was a gay pagan literally! Planned to exterminate Christianity as well
The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. - Hitler
But Christianity is an invention of sick brains. One could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of Godhead into a mockery - Hitler
Christianity is a rebellion against natural law, a protest against nature. Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of the human failure. - Hitler
You see it has been our misfortune to have the wrong religion. Why did't we have the religion of the Japanese, who regard sacrifice for the Fatherland as the highest good? The Mohammedan religion too would have been more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meakness and flabbiness? - Hitler
The dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances of science. Religion will have to make more and more concessions. Gradually the myths crumble - Hitler
Now I absolutely admit that you can also find numerous quotes about Christianity from Hitler that are POSITIVE. But that only illustrates something that is very well understood about the Nazis. Hell, Hitler admitted this himself. They spoke out of both sides of their mouths in their pursuit of total power. In their minds, the ends justified the means.
But to imply they were some sort of Christian crusade is just false. That stance necessarily chooses quotes and factoids to push a certain false narrative. Yes, we were not the good guys, but neither were the Nazis. Like all wars, WWII was a battle for power and resources. Sure, if you give me a choice between Nazism and communism, I'm taking Nazism 10 out of 10 times, but that's not much of a choice.
Hitler was literally planning to exterminate Christians after the Jews because he felt that it wasn’t Germanic and that it was primarily a Jewish religion.
Exactly. This morons all act like they have the secret esoteric knowledge of WWII yet almost NONE of them are aware hitler was a gay pagan who blamed to exterminate Christianity and Christian’s post the war.
Yeah he was lieing up the rats who rewrote history are the true truth seekers. Same ones who own American media now and do nothing but spread truth. Fucking clown
It is mentioned in the Wall Street trilogy by Antony Sutton, which is about Wall Street funding the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. Prescott Bush isn't tied to the Butler affair in these books though.
Yup. That's what happens when you have 30 kids or so all on different levels of learning. Little Suzie could be doing multiplication, and Jerome could be stuck on writing his name at the top of the paper.
One of my grandkids got an 8 on a Spanish test and considered himself a failure over it. My question is why the fuck is he learning Spanish instead of calculus at 14, because he is pretty good a math.
I'm Gen X. We couldn't look literally everything up on YouTube. We had shitty textbooks. I keep telling my kids to go look it up. I watch with them to refresh my memory. Udemy courses are $8 with discount code. You can learn anything you want for < $1000. University is worthless, but few have caught on.
3 months in to my career while I was still in college was enough for me to realize it was a scam. I was learning 4x more than I was in college and getting paid for it.
It's plainly obvious in my state how much BS is in gov schools. My state requires 1137 hours of education for public schools... but only 875 for homeschools.
Watch the homosexuality rate among those kids plummet compared to the government school inmates. Right after sexual abuse, one of the big causes of gayness in boys is dads that just aren't there to raise them, either physically or emotionally. These kids are going to do way better than the ones raised by the blue haired cat ladies while dad is off serving his corporate masters.
Alphablocks/Numberblocks (my favorite is 8, octoblock!). Hooked On Phonics. Truck Tunes.
He's gonna be 4 in a couple-few months.
Technically he doesn't have to go to school yet, I know, but daycare, preschool, kindergarten, or headstart, those all introduce little kids to letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.
He also goes to a private preschool 3 days a week from 8:30 to noon. Most of the kids there stay all day, like eight hours, M-F! But my wife & I decided that a little exposure to such things is good for socializing our son. We still want him close by for now.. at least until he's 10.
I take him with me pretty much everywhere I go, so he's exposed to other tradesmen and jobsite stuff.
He loves heavy equipment, trucks, tools, the sockets from the socket set.. he's at a fun age 🐸
He helps me build things and feed the animals. He helps with farm stuff. He's been to work with me before, but my days are too long for him still.
At 3 he can identify different tools ("that's a miter saw, that's a table saw, that's a jigsaw") and usually knows what most are used for. I can describe a tool and ask him to get it, and he almost always gets the right one. He loves cars, trucks, animals, tractors, tools, and dirt like boys should.
His mom teaches him writing, art, and math (among other things).. mostly with stuff from the dollar store (they have workbooks and supplies). A dry erase board is super useful. We both read books with him (local library for free books). We have some hooked on phonics videos, and use some YouTube videos here and there.
He gets social time with kids his age once a week at church, and with sports. We've done martial arts over the summer and t-ball now. He's always with one or both of us.
We will probably homeschool him until we're sure he's ready to protect himself and until he's immunized against the woke mind virus. If he wants to go to public school and if it's a good one we may let him, but he's going to keep learning at home either way.
My son can rattle off the parts of an excavator.. tracks, house, boom, arm, bucket, H-link, dog bones, hydraulics hoses.. etc.
He has memorized most vehicle logos like Audi, Ford, BMW, Toyota, etc. And he knows which vehicles run on gasoline or diesel.
And all that is truly amazing to observe, little kids are remarkable. His mom sees this and tells him, if you can memorize the contents of daddy's toolbox, you can spell this word, or add these two numbers.
And he has started to read!!
3, almost 4 years old, and the kid is sounding out the letters in words. Which is a little terrifying when you stop to consider how much knowledge there is out there waiting to corrupt his mind.
The father's taking responsibility are heroes saving children from being brainwashed. Your children unconditionally love you. This generation of home grown educated kids is going to surpass all others in greatness. The strength and dedication is the most valuable tool for your children's future. Lead by role modeling.
I am going to say something very sexist...here goes.
It really should be the mother.
Reality is that men are competitive more so and bond better - this leads to generally a more productive workplace and scratches a built in mechanism men need as a provider.
While men CAN be teachers; their place as a teacher is ideally in the trades as they pass on skills - women are better with the soft skills which is important in socialization and often do a better job at creating social networking with other parents. Its the reason why MY household is very much a classic nuclear family in that regard. Home, Wife and 2 kids. I work and my wife does not - she see's to tending the household.
I think it's fair to say women would make potentiality better teachers during the nurturing years, let's say up to 4th grade. After that I think most kids, especially boys, would be better off with a strong patriarchal male teacher. Anecdotal, but at that point in my grade school time, the favoritism a lot of the women teachers showed and I really didn't want to be taught by them. Luckily as I got older I got more and more male teachers.
I taught middle school and had single moms requesting female teachers to avoid me, but the nuclear families were fighting to get their kid in my max capacity classes. I was a nerd, but didn’t take shit from the assholes (who admin ALWAYS dumped in my room cause they “need a strong male role model”). My good students liked seeing me go to war with the kids that everyone else coddled. It did burn me out though, as I didn’t get a lot of support for trying to hold everyone to high standards. It was bittersweet leaving the classroom.
It should be BOTH, and school should be in session 24 hours a day. Changing brakes on the car? Take the boys AND girls out to learn how to do it, how to use tools. Learning how to sew or cook? Teach both. Both parents bring things to the table- no sense in not learning skills both ways
I did this too, had my sons and daughter from an early age out with me changing brakes & rotors, changing oil on cars and equipment, doing home improvements for ourselves and others. I figure even if they didn't have to worry about saving money and could easily afford to pay people in their adult years to do these things that they'd at least have the knowledge of how & why it's done so they don't get taken advantage of.
When I had my first car at 17 I was very lucky that our tenant upstairs, a guy in his 30's taught me how to change the brakes and rotors on my car, that one time lesson saved me sooo much money through the years. My father couldn't even change his own oil or much of anything else.
My one son bought his first car this summer, so we both went out and changed the oil & antifreeze and brakes and rotors together. He said almost none of his friends know how to do any of it at college and look at him like he was a wizard :)
I agree with you for the most part - however assuming one of you has to go to work to support your family - I feel we need to end this 2 incomes mindset that has been pushed and part of that is getting mothers to take care of young children. I grew up in exactly the situation you described learning at the feet of my grandfather due my parents often being overwhelmed with a large family and my retired ex-army engineer grandfather would babysit me in the garage while he worked on vehicles and nurtured my curiousity in all things mechanical. I guiess my point is that assuming a normal workday someone needs to be tending to the kids while a parent works and ideally this happens in the day.
It needs BOTH. A well developed person has influence and knowledge from both sides. Dad teaching is much more likely to engage the kinetic learning of boys. No Ritalin, but going in the garage or yard and doing science and physics. Math? Do the worksheet, but let's go build something using math and geometry. Not saying moms won't do this, but dad is more likely to.
Home schooling doesn't have to be one single person. Go to your individual strengths. Many are creating small multi family groups to create the best way for them.
I disagree - men are better with assembly and mechanics of things - thats why we tend to excel in the workplace as we break down workplace dynamics and are better able to solve problems and innovate in the workplace.
Want a good example - look at EVERY HR department; note that most that are women driven tend to just forever stay at status quo until shit breaks...and rather then innovate they keep getting the old broken stuff jury rigged to work again - its outright scarey.
Women are smarter at some things than men, and vice-versa. Which is one of the many benefits of pairing up, men & women are complementary.. like colors combine and improve each other.. not complimentary like free of charge.
Women have a unique way of thinking that should not be looked down upon.
As annoying as her way of thinking can sometimes be, my wife often comes up with clever shit I haven't thought of, which makes her company in my life such a treasure.
I feel sorry for feminists and misogynists. Their hatred of the other sex cripples them. They'll never reach their potential.
My husband is talented and intelligent in ways I'm not, but I have skills and insights he doesn't. Our differences mean sometimes we disagree, but we work it out and are better for the struggle. Together, we've built a good life.
I think it's latent blame-game left over from that incident in The Garden.
He blames her, she blames him, and there's God in the middle, like, no, you both did this.
I freely admit I depend on my wife's weird girl-brain, because some of that (insert crazy gesture here) just totally eludes me. But her methods get results, and I watch how others respond to her, how she leads, and how well she's admired where she works.
There are precisely four very specific and narrow domains of psychology which I'd actually trust:
IQ
The Big Five personality model
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The Dark Triad
I have very little faith in anything not related to those three things. I find the notion of 'emotional intelligence' to be pretty much bullshit. People bragging about being empathetic is a huge ironic self-own.
Women have a unique way of thinking that should not be looked down upon.
Don't agree. That way of thinking DOES have great merits. But do not tell me it's never frustrating. Absolutely it should (sometimes) be looked down upon. Not in a sneering way, just in a frustrated way.
Thankfully, I do not embrace your narrow and dim point of view because I levitate far above it with the knowledge that in His mighty wisdom He saw fit to make certain there exists another soul on the Earth who inherited all the things I lack, and loves me enough to share them in my life.
You are confounded by your own imaginary enlightenment. That "bullshit" smell is coming from you.. I suggest checking your shoes, you probably stepped in some philosophical do-do.
I made a point not to sneer at women. Don't sneer at me, as I don't even really disagree with you.
Men and women are complimentary. I fully acknowledge that only hanging around men and only taking cues from them leads to a blinkered outlook. The same is true of women who only hang around other women.
I wish men and women were more interested in one another.
Incorrect. My father was and always was dumber with school work kind of stuff. He could design and build a house himself, but there's no way he could have helped us with our school work...and that goes for the majority of men.
School work should consist of those skills also, for boys and girls. Why limit schooling to being an imitation of the failed public model? Teach your girls to weld and shoot, teach your boys to sew and cook. Life skills are life skills
Agreed, but if they want to go to college, they still have to follow a curriculum. The trade type stuff can be taught after the school work. My father taught me a ton...whether I wanted to learn it or not. Haha.
The trade type stuff can be taught after the school work.
Fuck no it can't. Kids need to learn trades type stuff from a young of age as possible, engineers arent worth shit if they haven't held a wrench by the time they were 10.
“ but if they want to go to college, they still have to follow a curriculum.”
Obviously… but I encourage my sons to learn trades, not go to college, and I encourage my daughters to be traditional mothers and wives, not go to college. But you do what you thinks best. Two of my sons have started their own tree removal business, one is a finish carpenter making custom cabinetry and one is in robotics and automation. They all make six figures and didn’t go to college outside of auditing a few business and accounting classes. College is an indoctrination camp and not necessary to be successful.
I myself didn't graduate college, but I began at a really young age. Got disillusioned next before the end and work in a completely unrelated field now, self employed. I've met non-college graduates that make great money and college graduates that make very little. Making money can be done by either group. It has more to do with hard work, good choices, and determination.
I make less money than I would have had I continued in the college path I was on, but I choose to work less (since quitting my job) and buy less crap so I can be home with my family. I've worked way too much tier the first few years of my kids lives, but we're in a good place financially and headed to debt free. We've down sized, moved to the woods, and are focusing on the most important things. Not 100% out of the system yet, but working towards it.
Welding isnt a life skill for a girl, because women can't do the work necessary to prep the weld. I am not fucking around with 2 inch plate steel with a woman around, she is going to get me and herself hurt.
Ok fucktard. Do you get my point or are you just shitting on it? Understanding basic welding skills is what I’m talking about. Not a career. I’m not talking about tig welding aluminum cans together (although my 14 year old daughter can) I’m not saying your boy should be able to fully make a formal dress from scratch either. Teach your kids what you both know… they’re smart enough to learn both. Are they going to be experts? No, that’s not the intent. My daughters can field dress a deer and my sons know how to crochet. Homeschooling is about educating your children full spectrum, teaching them every damed skill and survival technique possible. Teach them what you can
Are you fucking dense. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about teaching your kids skills. I hope to god you aren’t homeschooling. Retards like you should send your kids to public school and hope they aren’t turned into meth addicted trannies. Best of luck to your family. Lol
Most of the men in my family have advanced degrees in engineering, math, or science fields. I'm an outlier there, but I didn't have trouble with book learning, just chose another path. My wife is smart, but has a harder time with these subjects than I do.
Growing up my mom was mostly responsible for English, civics, etc and my dad was more responsible for the math/sciences/physical education. They both could do any of it, but their strengths were different.
I think men and women both bring good things to the table.. that's why God says families should have a mom and a dad.
Nothing stopping you from being part of it... The wife and I both play a part in out children's homeschooling... As someone said, it can be done at any time, so split it up with you teaching some and your wife teaching some, even if that means you do yours on the weekends or a crash 30 minutes before or after dinner...
That's great advice, and something I'll have to get in the habit of understanding that with homeschooling you're not bound to normal school hours.
As it sits now I only have about an hour with my little guy because he's not even 2 yet since I get home shortly before his bed time, so I've never really thought ahead to when him and his sister (she's on the way) are older because I'm still in the "cherish these moments" phase.
FYI another thing you need to understand is that homeschooling does not take nearly as long as 'regular school' it's one of the biggest shocks for most...
This is an estimate of how long each homeschooling day is based on grade and based on my experience with 3 children it's pretty close... My kids basically do it on their own schedule when they find it convenient, and since we use an online curriculum we just check on them to make sure they are doing it every day... I'm a night owl so since we don't have a 'school schedule' my kids are generally up pretty late, a lot of times they wait until the clock strikes midnight, then they would do their homework and go to bed knowing they were done with school and that they the entire day free when they woke up 🤣 There are also weeks were one of the kids is really liking the lesson in whatever subject and they will blow through the entire week of lessons on Monday so they get to skip that lesson the rest of the week...
And of course there are days the kids are just not feeling it, and that is OK we let them take the day off as long as they double up and catch up in the next few days...
That's great info, I'm sure my wife will love hearing that as that was her main concern- the time it takes.
I'm also relieved that I'll be able to have the time to be the one to teach them the math and the science per other posters' inputs. Those are "my" subjects, to the point my wife calls me a nerd because of how well I understand them.
Actually looking forward to that part so much so our children can grow up smart instead of the idoiocracy around us
Good luck, when we started with only one, we where a lot more hands-on with traditional paperwork and books, but as it grew to three kids we started to lean more on a hands-off online curriculum as the main study, and then we supplement with other stuff time permitting... The online curriculum we use is actually a complete curriculum less 'physical ed' and even so, it only takes my kids about the above amount of time if they actually sit down and do it and don't constantly get distracted 🤣
I would recommend you explore some youth group interactions so they can expand their 'friends' list... We are both heavily involved in Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, and although there is some souring in Cub Scouts for many we choose to be involved at the 'committee' level so we can help guide where it goes and help form how it's run, and for Girl Scouts we run our own Troop so we have even more control over that...
I wish I could do the same, I'm already working 2 jobs and taking care of the household, homeschooling is beyond what I have left in me.
Unfortunately my wife has drank the leftist koolaid in recent years and can't be trusted to homeschool the kids herself. She often doesn't bother with housework and other (stay-home-)wife duties since going left. At least she is fine with putting them in private school, which in this case hasn't seemed to go off on the CRT/BLM/RainbowReich nutjobism.
Girl boss rhetoric ... Leftist women don't work OR keep a household in a relationship. Serving the neverending revolution and self important braindead cause of 5 minutes ago is too important. They're are also disloyal in my experience 100 percent. I'm sorry. Lost a decade of my life to this. I'd try to convince her to work any job to reduce her daging contact with the kids. Tell her it's fulfilling and use the money to buy non corrupt influences for kids.
“Independent study, community service, adventures and experience, large doses of privacy and solitude, a thousand different apprenticeships — the one-day variety or longer — these are all powerful, cheap, and effective ways to start a real reform of schooling. But no large-scale reform is ever going to work to repair our damaged children and our damaged society until we force open the idea of “school” to include family as the main engine of education. If we use schooling to break children away from parents — and make no mistake, that has been the central function of schools since John Cotton announced it as the purpose of the Bay Colony schools in 1650 and Horace Mann announced it as the purpose of Massachusetts schools in 1850 — we’re going to continue to have the horror show we have right now.”
― John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
I would do this if my wife could turn the money I do. She’s does a great job, but I consider homeschool to be way more purposeful than building yet another widget for the market with a 10% reduction in BOM cost.
I would 100% do it if I had kids in school. The smartest people I have known were home schooled. Even as a kid, sitting in front of a rolled out TV playing The Letter People and Sesame Street I though it was garbage. I looked at those kids and thought where are the bikes, yards, fishing holes, tree houses. Fuck that. It looked like a horrible way to grow up talking to garbage cans and puppets. Fuck that BS.
I see this as a major backfire on the globalist agenda. We are seeing more women benefit from the "equity" in hiring and promotion practices while based dads are doing the homeschooling getting the kids out of public schools.
That is a good thing.
Extremely based
Yes, until the communists make any homeschooling illegal.
Germany already did that. In fact, a very devout Christian family fled Germany and sought asylum in USA because they were caught home-schooling their children to evade the indoctrination of Germany's public schools. Apparently in Germany, that is illegal. They were granted asylum and have integrated with American culture and work. The Biden administration is now trying to deport them. Glenn Beck spoke of it today on his radio show and was furious. I believe Beck is going to try and bring them on his radio show soon.
The commies in 'first feminist government' Sweden stamped out homeschooling.
Oklahoma is the most free state homeschool wise
That's a solid red line for me. Bodies will begin to be stacked if this occurred and there was any attempt at enforcement.

Any increase in homeschooling I see as a good thing. But why the big increase of men staying at home? Because corporate America either laying off Caucasian men or won’t promote white men anymore. Corporate American and DEI is the biggest racist scandal in the world.
Prolly a little of that but the parents that work the hardest I know are all dads. Also, we are more likely to take on the task just to protect our kids from the bs going on at public schools.
I know a few men who rule based on feeling. They all have D next to their names on TV.
Doesn’t Kinzinger still put an R next to his name?
Adam Kinzinger puts the D next to his mouth.
🤣
Whole bags of Ds
Dammit! You beat me by a whole hour. I typed out the comment and then saw that you beat me. Well played, harambe.
Only momentarily.. he prefers to gobble it
That man is all reason and logic. Just in such a way as to manipulate people and make money while being evil. I think the R is a veil.
Of course, I think anybody with an R is a piece of shit too.
This right here. If I could educate my son full time I would. My wife is very book smart but very emotion driven. Easy example. Built a gazebo off the back porch on a floating deck. No paperwork needed and fairly cheap. She first wanted it tied to the roof. Had to explain to her that I couldn’t do that. I don’t have the skill or know how and couldn’t pay someone else to do it. Then it was “just build it on top of the concrete patio right up to the back door and have the gazebo sit up against the roof”. Had to explain how the deck would cover about a foot of the doorway or more, would be a hazard, and the drainage between the two roofs would cause all sorts of nightmares. Besides that I’m sure there is some sort of restriction or law against doing that. All of this because “if it’s raining and I want to sit outside I have to walk 5 feet through the rain”. Pretty sure she is still aggravated.
I get it. I wanted a cover over an open patio behind the house. Both brothers said fine, but get your checkbook out. You'll need to raise the roofline so water doesn't flow into the basement. I didn't argue. One is an engineer,the other a master carpenter. I trust them. No go on patio until I can afford it.
You have really great brothers to be willing to build for you.
Don't get discouraged.
If the gazebo is on the ground and you have frost, then you can't attach it directly to the house because the house is rock solid on a concrete foundation but the gazebo will rise and fall with the seasons. The exception is when you build on deep footings that go below the frost line. The easy solution is to make it free standing, but attached to something heavy to prevent wind lifting it.
You can build it to almost touch the house, and the roof overhang above will allow very little water down, especially if you have an eves trough.
You can make a nice pergola with a flat roof, and cover it with sheets of polycarbonate sheet from the Home Depot. You just adjust the supports for the sheets so that it drains and slopes away from the house.
I ended up with a 40 foot pergola that wraps around the back of the house, a clear roof, hot tub built in and I can walk out the dining room to the BBQ past the outdoor dining table without getting wet. In winter, I wrap it with woven greenhouse fabric to keep the snow out and for hot tub privacy. Nobody wants a wet swimsuit when it is -20. To block wind, I added glass panels and roller blinds. Then planted 1o grape vines to grow up the columns.
Just start small and add improvements each year. Your skills will also get better. At a minimum you need a chopsaw and drill to start.
Oh I’m not at all. Built a nice floating deck offset from the house. 14x12 with a nice gazebo on top. Wonderful place to hang out. So now we have the open 10x10 concrete patio with the deck built off of that. It was just a comment on how wife’s tend to let emotion get in the way of critical thinking.
Definitely adding to my oasis this year at some point. Don’t know what’s next.
Lol right. I mean I know you're probably not meaning that's a universal rule, but holy crap the amount of men I know who are still emotionally tied to sportsball and beer, are impulsive reactionaries, are addicted to porn or video games, is impressive. We can notice a trend but have to notice the weaknesses.
Which is a crying shame since it's "traditionally" the mother's that take on the role of protecting the children.
Apparently momma bears are a dying breed.
Gotta defend the Mama Bears here.
They’re the ones leading the pushback at school board meetings.
I mean it can be viewed from a few different angles. Women typically would spend more time with babies and raise them and protect them from typical every day harm. Men typically do the protecting against an overwhelming force.
Women are designed to protect. Men are designed to prepare. From the age of 4 onward boys should be spending more and more time with traditionally male duties. Modern society forces them into modern school which more closely relates to female duties. Most women are content with their boys eating cheats and playing video games all day because they are safe and happy. Men recognize that as a crisis. There really needs to be more male teachers. Abandoning public schools is a lolbertarian, cede ground proposition.
Women nurture. Men protect.
Women also protect,but not nearly as well as men. I am a lioness when it comes to my kids. I I need the Lion to protect all of our family.
And to think, in the fourth grade I was sent to the principal for telling the teacher that school was for fags.
School was for book learners that would work in line jobs and cubicles without complaint. It shouldn't have been, so you were half right. Hope you got real education somewhere, though. Home school is the way to go, until we can get small, locally-managed schoolhouses again.
Dad owned his own business. When I asked for a bike at 8 yo I got a job. I learned there.
No. Public schools were designed by Humanists, who testified in front of Congress when they were asking for funding, saying they would replace family and church with government and state, produce obedient and compliant workers that would be ready for the "inevitable" consolidation with communism.
The government indoctrination centers are accomplishing EXACTLY what they were designed to do. The men who made them and run them are programming the kids as planned.
You can't fix it, is working perfectly. It must be torn down and replaced with what worked. Home schools, town schoolhouses directly paid for and managed by the community. DoE is a relic.
Work from home policies from covid.
A lot have reverted back to the office though, my company has. I’d love to find a WFH job that pays $175k plus, to make the move justifiable. I have a few side projects I am working on so hopefully one of those take off.
Sorry, but but that's a stupid demand, if you're putting a comfort price over your family's well-being. We were ready to lose our jobs over the injection, got exemptions so they 'made' us WFH. Screw them, they can't make us go back now, werey pureblood. Besides were still ready to give up the jobs if our family life suffered. We've homeschool from the start, with grandparents' help. We're able to take part much more now, science and history have never been more fun. Taking a sun day instead of a rain day, either...
At this point my son is too young for school and we have a family babysitter. My wife or I will likely quit working once he is school age, so one of us can homeschool. If I can pull in that much she can quit and I can provide for the family.
Don’t jump to conclusions about someone based on one comment, you don’t know enough about them or their situation.
I don't conclude but I say what I think is right. Our kids' should are at stake, there should be nothing more important to us.
WFH falls under reasonable accommodation for the ADA.
Some of us can WFH, though I don't know about the rest. It doesn't help that corporate policies are very blancophobic.
The work opportunity tax credit is an example of how they’ve purged white males from the labor side. Women, browns and vets provide employers with hefty tax savings that lower overall cost of doing business and allow fortune500 companies to operate in an otherwise socialist environment. Capitalism is being used to fuel socialist dreams.
Of course. It can only twist and corrupt, it can't create.
Like a loud Philly Meatball
Correct. They would rather have a loud mouth pos working then a nice white guy who gets it done.
Let them have what they want, then, it will bite them in the ass.
A friend of mine was doing this for a while, but now him and his wife both work and he has the kids back in public school again. They have to make an effort daily to deprogram them and keep them based, because the school district here is full of leftist trash just like everywhere else. I don't envy their task.
It is tough. My youngest just started high school and I fought with the ex and wanted to send him to private school even though it would have meant a second job or some real sacrifices but I’d have done it. The kid also didn’t want to the private school: I try to at least make a dent when I’m with him. He loves Tom McDonald and President Trump and j have him going to church regularly so hopefully we are combatting it enough.
They went to work and put the kids in day care, be honest. They need to move to an affordable area, back breast parents, or join with parents and save their kids' SOULS!
Because men are better at it...
Men are better teachers; especially to boys. Change my mind.
Can't change an emotional bias with facts or logic. Change my mind.
But seriously, bro, everyone has talents from God. We're each made for certain things and we both know some men who are awesome teachers and some women who are awesome teachers, and let everybody just find their paths without artificial division. That's a demonic tool and we don't need it
That's just it. Men are usually less emotional and biased. Men tend to make decisions based more on fact than emotion. This predisposition alone makes the case.
I didn't say ALL men were better teachers than All women. I fail to see how making such a basic observation equates to demonicly dividing people. I do however believe we are in a fight of good vs evil; and not in some figurative way. Satan is working overtime to corrupt and kill every last one of us.
So therefore we work together according to our God-loaned talents. Many mighty good teachers are women, the first we have when we're little. But yes men need to step up and show what a good man is and does, both to the boys and the girls so they choose wisely.
Lol right to the point eh
I know you’re probably making some ghey “the Nazis were actually the good guys” argument but you’re only half wrong. There we’re no good guys in WWII and Prescott bush is basically responsible for the deaths of 250 million people.
FYI: Hitler was a gay pagan literally! Planned to exterminate Christianity as well
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/605604/posts
Who is they?
Ftfy
Ftfy
No the USA was
No, they arent... it has far more to do with Prussian culture from the late 1700s.
No oil, no food, no colonies (remember, the US still had the Philippines), and in comparison no men. In what possible way did they compete?
Now I absolutely admit that you can also find numerous quotes about Christianity from Hitler that are POSITIVE. But that only illustrates something that is very well understood about the Nazis. Hell, Hitler admitted this himself. They spoke out of both sides of their mouths in their pursuit of total power. In their minds, the ends justified the means.
But to imply they were some sort of Christian crusade is just false. That stance necessarily chooses quotes and factoids to push a certain false narrative. Yes, we were not the good guys, but neither were the Nazis. Like all wars, WWII was a battle for power and resources. Sure, if you give me a choice between Nazism and communism, I'm taking Nazism 10 out of 10 times, but that's not much of a choice.
Hitler was literally planning to exterminate Christians after the Jews because he felt that it wasn’t Germanic and that it was primarily a Jewish religion.
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/605604/posts
Or because hitler was pagan, homosexual agent of Satan per their own diaries
You're a blithering idiot. The paper-hanging scat-freak you worship jacked off to Nordic paganism. Christianity had nothing to do with.
Bring on the troon downvotes.
Exactly. This morons all act like they have the secret esoteric knowledge of WWII yet almost NONE of them are aware hitler was a gay pagan who blamed to exterminate Christianity and Christian’s post the war.
Total nonsense. Hitler has sooo many speeches extolling about the great German Christian values, God, the Church you’re just brainwashed
Oh yeah no politician would ever lie in a speech. Gee you’re so wise. Please tell me more.
Yeah he was lieing up the rats who rewrote history are the true truth seekers. Same ones who own American media now and do nothing but spread truth. Fucking clown
Who is Prescott Bush?
He's either the father or grandfather of George HW Bush, and got rich off Nazi money.
What if he’s both? Remember the jokes about Barbara looking old?
Look into Smedly Buttler. Prescott was worse than that. He attempted a fascist military coup against Roosevelt.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot
I knew he was a criminal asshole and the rest of the criminal asshole Bushes are his descendants.
I will check this out.
It's a deep rabbit hole. Enjoy.
It is mentioned in the Wall Street trilogy by Antony Sutton, which is about Wall Street funding the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. Prescott Bush isn't tied to the Butler affair in these books though.

War Is a Racket: The Life and Thought of Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
ok i’ll bite
250 million how
Did you know Hitler also had -4 testicles! He actually OWED NUTS!
That terrible decisions with the so-called "Peace Deal" of World War I made World War II inevitable?
That General Patton was silenced for being right.
That FDR intentionally provoked Japan to get the US into war?
Teach your kids what you believe is true, and I will do the same. Every man deserves to be able to do that.
Personally, I agree with Alex Jones about WW2.
This.
I listen to what the community talks about but I do my own deep diving of research and form my own thoughts.
And serious coursework on the Roman Empire
My wife and I are homeschooling. When I’m not traveling for work and am working from home I pitch in for sure.
It’s amazing how much less time it takes compared to government school to get the same lessons done.
Yup. That's what happens when you have 30 kids or so all on different levels of learning. Little Suzie could be doing multiplication, and Jerome could be stuck on writing his name at the top of the paper.
One of my grandkids got an 8 on a Spanish test and considered himself a failure over it. My question is why the fuck is he learning Spanish instead of calculus at 14, because he is pretty good a math.
Because you put him in a public school.
I didnt put my grandkids in public schools, my kid put him in private school
I'm Gen X. We couldn't look literally everything up on YouTube. We had shitty textbooks. I keep telling my kids to go look it up. I watch with them to refresh my memory. Udemy courses are $8 with discount code. You can learn anything you want for < $1000. University is worthless, but few have caught on.
3 months in to my career while I was still in college was enough for me to realize it was a scam. I was learning 4x more than I was in college and getting paid for it.
Good for you. Business people can detect other business people, and they don't care about your degree.
Universities are just for credentials and networking now.
Lab work, too. I can't afford that equipment.
It's plainly obvious in my state how much BS is in gov schools. My state requires 1137 hours of education for public schools... but only 875 for homeschools.
And Rome. Don’t forget teaching them about Rome!
Watch the homosexuality rate among those kids plummet compared to the government school inmates. Right after sexual abuse, one of the big causes of gayness in boys is dads that just aren't there to raise them, either physically or emotionally. These kids are going to do way better than the ones raised by the blue haired cat ladies while dad is off serving his corporate masters.
AMEN!
That's me and my boy. After that we're off to Karate
How to shoot and move is an underappreciated subject.
"Today we're going to discuss the differences between Cover and Concealment..."
Biathlon baby 🐸
We don't do both at the same time, and we don't do neither.
Me me!
I'm a dad and I'm homeschooling my son!
Same. If I might ask, what resources are you using?
Alphablocks/Numberblocks (my favorite is 8, octoblock!). Hooked On Phonics. Truck Tunes.
He's gonna be 4 in a couple-few months.
Technically he doesn't have to go to school yet, I know, but daycare, preschool, kindergarten, or headstart, those all introduce little kids to letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc.
He also goes to a private preschool 3 days a week from 8:30 to noon. Most of the kids there stay all day, like eight hours, M-F! But my wife & I decided that a little exposure to such things is good for socializing our son. We still want him close by for now.. at least until he's 10.
I take him with me pretty much everywhere I go, so he's exposed to other tradesmen and jobsite stuff.
He loves heavy equipment, trucks, tools, the sockets from the socket set.. he's at a fun age 🐸
Chad Dad
Got a boy about that age.
He helps me build things and feed the animals. He helps with farm stuff. He's been to work with me before, but my days are too long for him still.
At 3 he can identify different tools ("that's a miter saw, that's a table saw, that's a jigsaw") and usually knows what most are used for. I can describe a tool and ask him to get it, and he almost always gets the right one. He loves cars, trucks, animals, tractors, tools, and dirt like boys should.
His mom teaches him writing, art, and math (among other things).. mostly with stuff from the dollar store (they have workbooks and supplies). A dry erase board is super useful. We both read books with him (local library for free books). We have some hooked on phonics videos, and use some YouTube videos here and there.
He gets social time with kids his age once a week at church, and with sports. We've done martial arts over the summer and t-ball now. He's always with one or both of us.
We will probably homeschool him until we're sure he's ready to protect himself and until he's immunized against the woke mind virus. If he wants to go to public school and if it's a good one we may let him, but he's going to keep learning at home either way.
That's super cool!
My son can rattle off the parts of an excavator.. tracks, house, boom, arm, bucket, H-link, dog bones, hydraulics hoses.. etc.
He has memorized most vehicle logos like Audi, Ford, BMW, Toyota, etc. And he knows which vehicles run on gasoline or diesel.
And all that is truly amazing to observe, little kids are remarkable. His mom sees this and tells him, if you can memorize the contents of daddy's toolbox, you can spell this word, or add these two numbers.
And he has started to read!!
3, almost 4 years old, and the kid is sounding out the letters in words. Which is a little terrifying when you stop to consider how much knowledge there is out there waiting to corrupt his mind.
I am blessed ☺️
Please share
Have you looked at the Ron Paul Curriculum?
I will now, thanks 👍
Right here, man - fuck these purple haired cunts not teaching my son to math.
Think if the cunts got smart and kept their hair natural and remove the facial slave rings. I won't even chance it with my kids.
The father's taking responsibility are heroes saving children from being brainwashed. Your children unconditionally love you. This generation of home grown educated kids is going to surpass all others in greatness. The strength and dedication is the most valuable tool for your children's future. Lead by role modeling.
I do this with my 4!
Because fuck gay government school.
I am going to say something very sexist...here goes.
It really should be the mother. Reality is that men are competitive more so and bond better - this leads to generally a more productive workplace and scratches a built in mechanism men need as a provider.
While men CAN be teachers; their place as a teacher is ideally in the trades as they pass on skills - women are better with the soft skills which is important in socialization and often do a better job at creating social networking with other parents. Its the reason why MY household is very much a classic nuclear family in that regard. Home, Wife and 2 kids. I work and my wife does not - she see's to tending the household.
I think it's fair to say women would make potentiality better teachers during the nurturing years, let's say up to 4th grade. After that I think most kids, especially boys, would be better off with a strong patriarchal male teacher. Anecdotal, but at that point in my grade school time, the favoritism a lot of the women teachers showed and I really didn't want to be taught by them. Luckily as I got older I got more and more male teachers.
I taught middle school and had single moms requesting female teachers to avoid me, but the nuclear families were fighting to get their kid in my max capacity classes. I was a nerd, but didn’t take shit from the assholes (who admin ALWAYS dumped in my room cause they “need a strong male role model”). My good students liked seeing me go to war with the kids that everyone else coddled. It did burn me out though, as I didn’t get a lot of support for trying to hold everyone to high standards. It was bittersweet leaving the classroom.
Like Tom Brown's school days
A fair point - myself Grades K to 8 I had F/F/F/M/F/M/M/F/M as my 9 teachers starting from kindergarten to Grade 8
It should be BOTH, and school should be in session 24 hours a day. Changing brakes on the car? Take the boys AND girls out to learn how to do it, how to use tools. Learning how to sew or cook? Teach both. Both parents bring things to the table- no sense in not learning skills both ways
Wolverines will need these skills. Male and female.
I did this too, had my sons and daughter from an early age out with me changing brakes & rotors, changing oil on cars and equipment, doing home improvements for ourselves and others. I figure even if they didn't have to worry about saving money and could easily afford to pay people in their adult years to do these things that they'd at least have the knowledge of how & why it's done so they don't get taken advantage of.
When I had my first car at 17 I was very lucky that our tenant upstairs, a guy in his 30's taught me how to change the brakes and rotors on my car, that one time lesson saved me sooo much money through the years. My father couldn't even change his own oil or much of anything else.
My one son bought his first car this summer, so we both went out and changed the oil & antifreeze and brakes and rotors together. He said almost none of his friends know how to do any of it at college and look at him like he was a wizard :)
I agree with you for the most part - however assuming one of you has to go to work to support your family - I feel we need to end this 2 incomes mindset that has been pushed and part of that is getting mothers to take care of young children. I grew up in exactly the situation you described learning at the feet of my grandfather due my parents often being overwhelmed with a large family and my retired ex-army engineer grandfather would babysit me in the garage while he worked on vehicles and nurtured my curiousity in all things mechanical. I guiess my point is that assuming a normal workday someone needs to be tending to the kids while a parent works and ideally this happens in the day.
It needs BOTH. A well developed person has influence and knowledge from both sides. Dad teaching is much more likely to engage the kinetic learning of boys. No Ritalin, but going in the garage or yard and doing science and physics. Math? Do the worksheet, but let's go build something using math and geometry. Not saying moms won't do this, but dad is more likely to.
Home schooling doesn't have to be one single person. Go to your individual strengths. Many are creating small multi family groups to create the best way for them.
the husband is always smarter than the wife.
If the man was dumber, the woman wouldn't marry him.
I disagree - men are better with assembly and mechanics of things - thats why we tend to excel in the workplace as we break down workplace dynamics and are better able to solve problems and innovate in the workplace.
Want a good example - look at EVERY HR department; note that most that are women driven tend to just forever stay at status quo until shit breaks...and rather then innovate they keep getting the old broken stuff jury rigged to work again - its outright scarey.
There are no fewer than 7 kinds of intelligence.
Women are smarter at some things than men, and vice-versa. Which is one of the many benefits of pairing up, men & women are complementary.. like colors combine and improve each other.. not complimentary like free of charge.
Women have a unique way of thinking that should not be looked down upon.
As annoying as her way of thinking can sometimes be, my wife often comes up with clever shit I haven't thought of, which makes her company in my life such a treasure.
I feel sorry for feminists and misogynists. Their hatred of the other sex cripples them. They'll never reach their potential.
My husband is talented and intelligent in ways I'm not, but I have skills and insights he doesn't. Our differences mean sometimes we disagree, but we work it out and are better for the struggle. Together, we've built a good life.
I think it's latent blame-game left over from that incident in The Garden.
He blames her, she blames him, and there's God in the middle, like, no, you both did this.
I freely admit I depend on my wife's weird girl-brain, because some of that (insert crazy gesture here) just totally eludes me. But her methods get results, and I watch how others respond to her, how she leads, and how well she's admired where she works.
I'm proud of her 😊
Is there is experimental evidence that supports Gardner?
There are precisely four very specific and narrow domains of psychology which I'd actually trust:
IQ
The Big Five personality model
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The Dark Triad
I have very little faith in anything not related to those three things. I find the notion of 'emotional intelligence' to be pretty much bullshit. People bragging about being empathetic is a huge ironic self-own.
Don't agree. That way of thinking DOES have great merits. But do not tell me it's never frustrating. Absolutely it should (sometimes) be looked down upon. Not in a sneering way, just in a frustrated way.
The rest of the entire field of psychology is:
Philosophy
Politics
Bullshit
Paraklesis.
Bless God for women.
Thankfully, I do not embrace your narrow and dim point of view because I levitate far above it with the knowledge that in His mighty wisdom He saw fit to make certain there exists another soul on the Earth who inherited all the things I lack, and loves me enough to share them in my life.
You are confounded by your own imaginary enlightenment. That "bullshit" smell is coming from you.. I suggest checking your shoes, you probably stepped in some philosophical do-do.
I made a point not to sneer at women. Don't sneer at me, as I don't even really disagree with you.
Men and women are complimentary. I fully acknowledge that only hanging around men and only taking cues from them leads to a blinkered outlook. The same is true of women who only hang around other women.
I wish men and women were more interested in one another.
Nah a woman with a 105 IQ has no problem marrying a Walmart trucker with a 90 IQ.
Trucker getting paid to drive that truck though
Should drive for UPS and get 170k/yr.
Can he figure that out at 90 iq?
Incorrect. My father was and always was dumber with school work kind of stuff. He could design and build a house himself, but there's no way he could have helped us with our school work...and that goes for the majority of men.
School work should consist of those skills also, for boys and girls. Why limit schooling to being an imitation of the failed public model? Teach your girls to weld and shoot, teach your boys to sew and cook. Life skills are life skills
Agreed, but if they want to go to college, they still have to follow a curriculum. The trade type stuff can be taught after the school work. My father taught me a ton...whether I wanted to learn it or not. Haha.
Fuck no it can't. Kids need to learn trades type stuff from a young of age as possible, engineers arent worth shit if they haven't held a wrench by the time they were 10.
Never said that they shouldn't be taught that stuff. Read it again.
“ but if they want to go to college, they still have to follow a curriculum.”
Obviously… but I encourage my sons to learn trades, not go to college, and I encourage my daughters to be traditional mothers and wives, not go to college. But you do what you thinks best. Two of my sons have started their own tree removal business, one is a finish carpenter making custom cabinetry and one is in robotics and automation. They all make six figures and didn’t go to college outside of auditing a few business and accounting classes. College is an indoctrination camp and not necessary to be successful.
I myself didn't graduate college, but I began at a really young age. Got disillusioned next before the end and work in a completely unrelated field now, self employed. I've met non-college graduates that make great money and college graduates that make very little. Making money can be done by either group. It has more to do with hard work, good choices, and determination.
I make less money than I would have had I continued in the college path I was on, but I choose to work less (since quitting my job) and buy less crap so I can be home with my family. I've worked way too much tier the first few years of my kids lives, but we're in a good place financially and headed to debt free. We've down sized, moved to the woods, and are focusing on the most important things. Not 100% out of the system yet, but working towards it.
Welding isnt a life skill for a girl, because women can't do the work necessary to prep the weld. I am not fucking around with 2 inch plate steel with a woman around, she is going to get me and herself hurt.
Ok fucktard. Do you get my point or are you just shitting on it? Understanding basic welding skills is what I’m talking about. Not a career. I’m not talking about tig welding aluminum cans together (although my 14 year old daughter can) I’m not saying your boy should be able to fully make a formal dress from scratch either. Teach your kids what you both know… they’re smart enough to learn both. Are they going to be experts? No, that’s not the intent. My daughters can field dress a deer and my sons know how to crochet. Homeschooling is about educating your children full spectrum, teaching them every damed skill and survival technique possible. Teach them what you can
You should be able to make a formal dress from scratch, I could do that myself.
Women dont belong in a welding shop
Are you fucking dense. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about teaching your kids skills. I hope to god you aren’t homeschooling. Retards like you should send your kids to public school and hope they aren’t turned into meth addicted trannies. Best of luck to your family. Lol
Most of the men in my family have advanced degrees in engineering, math, or science fields. I'm an outlier there, but I didn't have trouble with book learning, just chose another path. My wife is smart, but has a harder time with these subjects than I do.
Growing up my mom was mostly responsible for English, civics, etc and my dad was more responsible for the math/sciences/physical education. They both could do any of it, but their strengths were different.
I think men and women both bring good things to the table.. that's why God says families should have a mom and a dad.
That you've accepted the majority of men as inferior in work of the mind is sad.
I'm right though. Most men are more work hard/common sense smart. Women are more work physically less jobs/book smart. This isn't new.
Women are book dumb and lack common sense. They memorize shit, they dont understand the damn book.
Women, at best, do executive assistant jobs or clerical jobs, and jobs relying on those skillsets.
They should tag team it. There is nothing that says home schooling can't be on weekends too.
My wife is going to homeschool our children but I can't tell you how much I wish it was me who got to do that.
School can happen any time of the day or week!
And should
Nothing stopping you from being part of it... The wife and I both play a part in out children's homeschooling... As someone said, it can be done at any time, so split it up with you teaching some and your wife teaching some, even if that means you do yours on the weekends or a crash 30 minutes before or after dinner...
That's great advice, and something I'll have to get in the habit of understanding that with homeschooling you're not bound to normal school hours.
As it sits now I only have about an hour with my little guy because he's not even 2 yet since I get home shortly before his bed time, so I've never really thought ahead to when him and his sister (she's on the way) are older because I'm still in the "cherish these moments" phase.
FYI another thing you need to understand is that homeschooling does not take nearly as long as 'regular school' it's one of the biggest shocks for most...
This is an estimate of how long each homeschooling day is based on grade and based on my experience with 3 children it's pretty close... My kids basically do it on their own schedule when they find it convenient, and since we use an online curriculum we just check on them to make sure they are doing it every day... I'm a night owl so since we don't have a 'school schedule' my kids are generally up pretty late, a lot of times they wait until the clock strikes midnight, then they would do their homework and go to bed knowing they were done with school and that they the entire day free when they woke up 🤣 There are also weeks were one of the kids is really liking the lesson in whatever subject and they will blow through the entire week of lessons on Monday so they get to skip that lesson the rest of the week...
And of course there are days the kids are just not feeling it, and that is OK we let them take the day off as long as they double up and catch up in the next few days...
Pre-K ~ 20 minutes K ~ 30 minutes 1-2 ~ 45 minutes 3-5 ~ 60 minutes 6-8 ~ 90 minutes 9-12 ~ 120 minutes
That's great info, I'm sure my wife will love hearing that as that was her main concern- the time it takes.
I'm also relieved that I'll be able to have the time to be the one to teach them the math and the science per other posters' inputs. Those are "my" subjects, to the point my wife calls me a nerd because of how well I understand them.
Actually looking forward to that part so much so our children can grow up smart instead of the idoiocracy around us
Good luck, when we started with only one, we where a lot more hands-on with traditional paperwork and books, but as it grew to three kids we started to lean more on a hands-off online curriculum as the main study, and then we supplement with other stuff time permitting... The online curriculum we use is actually a complete curriculum less 'physical ed' and even so, it only takes my kids about the above amount of time if they actually sit down and do it and don't constantly get distracted 🤣
I would recommend you explore some youth group interactions so they can expand their 'friends' list... We are both heavily involved in Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts, and although there is some souring in Cub Scouts for many we choose to be involved at the 'committee' level so we can help guide where it goes and help form how it's run, and for Girl Scouts we run our own Troop so we have even more control over that...
Homeschooling Dad Here!
Me too...
Me too, Kids grown now.
I wish I could do the same, I'm already working 2 jobs and taking care of the household, homeschooling is beyond what I have left in me.
Unfortunately my wife has drank the leftist koolaid in recent years and can't be trusted to homeschool the kids herself. She often doesn't bother with housework and other (stay-home-)wife duties since going left. At least she is fine with putting them in private school, which in this case hasn't seemed to go off on the CRT/BLM/RainbowReich nutjobism.
So sorry about that fren. Thanks for doing your best
Girl boss rhetoric ... Leftist women don't work OR keep a household in a relationship. Serving the neverending revolution and self important braindead cause of 5 minutes ago is too important. They're are also disloyal in my experience 100 percent. I'm sorry. Lost a decade of my life to this. I'd try to convince her to work any job to reduce her daging contact with the kids. Tell her it's fulfilling and use the money to buy non corrupt influences for kids.
Well this just sounds racist, think of all those kids who ain't got no daddy!
ahah i like that double-joke

The very best thing I ever did was remove my child from public kindergarten and homeschool through 12th grade.
CNN: Dad's homeschooling kids is white supremacy.

My husband does this for our kids he's so amazing... this is the way

I would do this if my wife could turn the money I do. She’s does a great job, but I consider homeschool to be way more purposeful than building yet another widget for the market with a 10% reduction in BOM cost.
Probably because more people are working from home
Families that don't use those woke schools & are forced to teach their kids right at home should be exempted from paying any school taxes!
Bravo!
Of course I know him, he's me
Surprisingly Newsweek covered this; unless it's a hit piece.
That'll happen when the women are all girl boss cunts and no one will hire the men because ew white hetero males.
Good Job Dad👍
Those poor children are missing out on socializing with drag queens and trannies.

I would 100% do it if I had kids in school. The smartest people I have known were home schooled. Even as a kid, sitting in front of a rolled out TV playing The Letter People and Sesame Street I though it was garbage. I looked at those kids and thought where are the bikes, yards, fishing holes, tree houses. Fuck that. It looked like a horrible way to grow up talking to garbage cans and puppets. Fuck that BS.
The pattern across basically all prodigies is either:
A) Homeschooling, targetted towards a certain craft or skillset.
B) Adolescent obsession over one craft or skillset carrying forward into adulthood.
Virtually all prodigies are either A or B.
Autists often enough too
That gas me thinking, we should test some AI's on this.
I see this as a major backfire on the globalist agenda. We are seeing more women benefit from the "equity" in hiring and promotion practices while based dads are doing the homeschooling getting the kids out of public schools.
