Tornado Nebraska. Praying for everyone there & elsewhere. Having lost our entire 2 story four bedroom house, blown away, killing our neighbors, cat and dog in 1991 and barely surviving, I feel for all the people of Nebraska. My heart breaks for them.

When you teach your kid to read, the point isn't actually "being able to read." Reading as a skill is worthless if not applied. The point is the books your kids will be reading, and the ideas they will be consuming, by nature of the skill of reading having been unlocked. This…

"you mean you're just gonna meet up with your friends and their kids in the forest and teach them about native plants and read classics and let them roam wild and call it kindergarten?" yes. yes we are.

@MattBeaudreau “Don’t let your boy’s schooling interfere with his education” - Mark Twain. Another great quote on schools vs education.

“Just because you are doing a lot more, it doesn’t mean you are getting more done. Don’t confuse movement with progress”. - Denzel Washington. Hard to find a quote that does a better job explaining the difference between a school mindset and an education mindset.

JOB POSTING Work on things you may or may not like. Switch activities every hour. Walk in straight lines to each activity. (Quietly). Only work with people of your exact same age. Ask permission to use the restroom. Take work home every night. Evaluated on compliance. No pay!

Our society has decided that we’re more comfortable forcing reading on kids as early as possible, even if they hate it, than we are waiting and ensuring that they love it. Parents have been filled with a fear-based narrative by schooling, and close their eyes to the obvious.

@MattBeaudreau Are we talking the kids literally reading or them being exposed to the concept being read to? If it’s the former then I 100% agree. Kids don’t need to read, but they need to be read to often as early as possible. They will read when they’re ready if they’re exposed to the power

Yes, I worry about socialization for kids. The ones in public school, that is. They spend all day sheltered from the real world - all of their decisions made for them, caught in a cycle of being like everyone else. Socialized to fit right in to a society that’s struggling.

Argue with strangers online, vote for “the right candidate”, protest at schools, & label anyone who doesn’t think as you do “the enemy”. Or… Enjoy your families, stay emotionally & physically healthy, detach from gov’t programs & “mandates”, & move towards sovereignty.

“My kids are being poisoned 5 days a week at the restaurant I send them to. They also have to bring some of the poisoned food home, but I try to give them good meals sometimes, too. Also- they get a prom & can play sports, so that’s why they go.” Would that not sound crazy?

“You can’t homeschool your kids, they won’t turn out normal.” Except, that’s the whole point.

The idea lab v. echo chamber concept shows exactly how kids are supposed to learn in schools. Idea labs teach kids how to think—being open-minded and engaging in productive dialogue to get closer to the truth.
