A public school education is NOT "free", nor is it advantageous to your child...
On August 22, 2012, the Fox News program "The Five", as reported by Juan Williams, revealed (as I understood Mr. Williams to say) that the national average cost a family spends for public school "back-to-school" supplies per child, per year is $683. Wow! That doesn't even include the curriculum. On the other hand, the average cost a typical homeschooling family spends per child, per year is approximately $200 LESS - and that lower cost INCLUDES the curriculum!
On top of the "back-to-school" costs that the families of public school kids must pay in order to receive a "free" education for their children, the government spends $10,000 (or more) per child, per year of taxpayer money and still manages to provide a poor quality education to our children.
Studies conducted in recent years by the National Assessment of Education Progress have shown that two-thirds of 4th grade children in the U.S.A. cannot read at a proficient level; three-fourths of them cannot write well; and four-fifths don't do well in math. (source of my information: Bringing Up Boys by Dr. James Dobson, licensed psychologist and family counselor)
A former Secretary of Education, Dr. Bill Bennett who holds a Ph.D from the University of Texas and a law degree from Harvard said this, "In the third grade, in math and science, our children score near the top compared to third graders in other industrialized nations. In the eighth grade, they score in the middle. In the twelfth grade, they score at the bottom. In short, the longer you stay in school in America, the dumber you get, relative to kids in other countries." (from the book: Bringing Up Boys; emphasis mine) Dr. Bennett pointed out that standardized test scores reveal that homeschoolers out rank public schoolers by 37 points! The test scores of kids who attend public school average at the 50th percentile level, while the scores of homeschoolers average at the 87th percentile! Dr. Bennett went on to say that "It (the public school system of education) is a dumbing-down process...There is no competition in the system. There's very little accountability in the system." Could 'tenure' be one of the reasons for that? Think about it!
Then there is the bullying! A study sponsored by the Kaiser Foundation showed that 74% of kids aged 8 to 11 years, and 86% of teens reported being bullied or teased by their peers; and one out of every five children are actually frightened in the classroom. ( - Bringing Up Boys )
Homeschooling is more economical for the family than public school, and it saves taxpayers alot of money. Plus, homeschooling provides children with a better education (and much better social skills) than the public schools. So, parents, if your child is struggling in school, has become rebellious, or is being bullied and has developed fears; try homeschooling! You just might end up becoming pleasantly surprised at the positive effect upon your child.

School in Washington State Uses Planned Parenthood Curriculum to Teach 5th Grade Kids Oral & Anal Sex...
California public schools aren't alone in their effort to over-ride parental objections to introduce debauchery to our young public school children. It may soon make its way to a public school near you!

Homeschooling is fast becoming a necessity, if we are to raise up a moral generation for Christ.

Public Schools: The Ideal Venue for the Promotion and Implementation of Humanistic Views
Charles F. Potter, a leading humanist of his day, wrote in the Humanist magazine during the 1930s that:
"Education is thus a most powerful ally of Humanism, and every American public school is a school of Humanism. What can the theistic Sunday schools, meeting for an hour a week and teaching only a fraction of the children, do to stem the tide of a five-day program of humanistic teaching?"
Another leading humanist, John Dunphy, wrote in the Humanist Magazine in 1983:
"I am convinced that the battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity... The teacher must embody the same selfless dedication as the most rabid fundamentalist preachers, for they will be ministers of another sort, utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit...The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new - the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism."
Scary, isn't it? But, there is hope. Christian parents in America do not have to send their kids to public school to be indoctrinated with this garbage. Homeschooling is the ideal option to combat the brainwashing going on in our public schools. If, for whatever reason, parents feel that they just cannot homeschool, there is the possiblility of hiring others to do it for you. This could be a relative, a friend, or another homeschooling parent. Contact the Home School Legal Defense Association for more information about that. They can supply you with a Power of Attorney form giving someone else the right to educate your child. This form must be notarized to make it legal. I will be using the Power of Attorney granted to me by my daughter and son-in-law to homeschool my grandchildren when they reach official school age / kindergarten. (Currently, I am "pre"-schooling my 3 year old grandson.)

The Cost of NOT Homeschooling...
A great article:
"Remembering the Cost of Not Homeschooling" by: Naomi Musch, mother of 4 homeschool graduates and 1 still being homeschooled.
http://www.crosswalk.com/family/homeschool/remembering-the-cost-of-not-homeschooling.11624788.html
I can't get the link to work, despite the fact that this is the link shown for the article. If my readers cannot get the link to work, then type into your search engine the title of the article and the name of the author, and it should take you to the link.
A little more trouble, but well worth the read!

"Salt will lose its savor if dirt is being dumped into it everyday."
Many Christian parents have the mistaken belief that their Christian kids will be "salt & light" to the unsaved kids at public school. While this is certainly possible, it is more than likely not probable in most cases. Christian kids are "babes in Christ". They are not yet mature Christians who are rooted and grounded in their beliefs. Christian kids, like all kids, are just that...kids! They do not always make wise choices. They need the guidance of mature Christian adults (preferably, their parents) to lead them toward spiritual, mental, and emotional maturity. The environment of our public schools today is like a battlefield. When armies go out to battle, do they send the children to fight? Of course not! When Christian churches send out missionaries to witness to people living in lands ruled by communists/dictatorships, do they send out children? Of course not! When Jesus sent out his disciples to witness, did he send out children? No! Crime, drugs, violence, and immorality are rampant in our public schools.. Rebellion against parents and authority figures is the norm among students educated by our public schools. Whose responsibility is it to turn the hearts of these children to the Lord? Jesus did not tell the children to go out into the highways and hedges and compel people to come in that His house may be full. Jesus commissioned adults that He had TRAINED WELL to do His work. Notice that Jesus' disciples did not go out to do serious witnessing to others soon after their conversion. They were still "babes in Christ", new to the faith, not yet rooted and grounded in God's Word. To send them out as babes in Christ would have been a disaster. The devil would have had a hey-day out of them. As it was, even after 3 years of intense teaching by Christ, living with Him, watching Him perform miracles, all of the disciples still scattered in fear when Jesus was arrested, one completely betrayed Him, and one vehemently denied Him. To send our Christian kids to public schools is no better than throwing them out to the wolves. Public school kids spend more time at school, with their same age, mostly unsaved peers, than they do with their parents at home. At public school they will absorb more negative influences than their parents will have time to combat. At public school, Christian kids will be indoctrinated into socialistic/liberal views that their parents will try, in vain, to deprogram from their children's minds and hearts. Why do this to your children? Why do this to yourself? Why have kids if you are going to just give them over to the government to raise?
