#Free Homeschooling

[autistic-ben-tennyson]

If people could stop reblogging from trad fascists like Greater-than-the-sword or Prolifeproliberty that’d be a huge improvement.

My most radical opinion is that homeschooling, private schools, and religious schools should be illegal

Gonna fight everyone on the Homeschooling poll

Me, watching 3 out of 6 kids in my family come out as queer/trans/nonbinary after my conservative mormon parents indoctrinated and homeschooled us for 18 years to "protect us from the dangerous influences of the world."

college starts in 1.5hrs and ive already been screwed over by them

for context: the specific way i am doing college atm (its not officially college long story) is that the government/state/whatever pays for everything in my classes except science/language lab fees. this includes textbooks—however, they only pay for the cheapest option. so you have NO idea if you’ll get physical or digital. thats fine by me, i can work with both.

so, lo and behold, i go to find my two textbooks for today (both digital)— and yeah, no, not there.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT:

The book they said they’d sent me for one class not only isn’t where they said it would be, but it straight up ISNT THE TEXTBOOK FOR THE CLASS. the textbook for this class is free online, which is also funny to me bc this teacher doesn’t allow electronics in the classroom. like buddy did you expect us to memorize the book wtf

The OTHER textbook they said they’d pay the subscription for for the semester (YES THE BOOK IS LOCKED BEHIND A SUBSCRIPTION THIS IS A CALCULUS CLASS.) is, in fact, not paid for. I have it, but it’s on a 2 week free trial. And you’re thinking, “Zerro, just pay for it!” ITS A HUNDRED AND THIRTY DOLLARS ARE YOU NUTS?! NOT WHEN THEYRE SUPPOSED TO PAY THAT!

So NOW, I have to figure out how they’re supposed to pay for the latter textbook (because the former is straight up wrong anyways) while also just straight up not knowing how these classes even WORK (the calc class… has discussion forums required. What The F—) and yeah college is going GREAT.

A prize of flesh & pride

And not much else.

Yapping below!

A doodle in reference to a conversation I had with a girl, who had been homeschool. We had got on the topic of our ancestry, and when I brought up mine, she kinda laughed and said “ah yeah, the Indians! Do you go to powwows every Sunday instead of church?”

I had a really in depth conversation with her about my history, about the so called “manifest destiny” and the trail of tears and the reservations. I told her about how many white men would hunt buffalo just to kill them, leaving their carcasses to rot, and how that was another factor in the destruction of the native people.

And she had never heard about any of that till now. She grew up thinking it was some rainbows and smiles, official contracts and alliances. She asked me if I had a Tribal card, and I told her no, my Grammy had ran off the rez a long time ago, and I wasn’t enough of a percentage to gain any scholarships blah blah blah

But like, it’s shocking. Especially now, with Palestine and Ukraine and just everything, that some people don’t know, or are told as kids that the blood on the grass is just strawberry syrup, and that the cries are just rusty cars running. They live their whole life thinking that it’s always been theirs, that it had been given as a gift and not taken— stolen.

Idk, it was just a shocking conversation. Go educate your friends on the trail of tears.

I know it will be hard to forget, but whichever outcome I need everyone to remember, to write down, to talk about what is currently happening. when American schools talk about Martin Luther King Jr. or slaves or women, who was oppressing them and trying to stop their rights, who was hosing them, who was shooting them, who was suppressing their voice is a mysterious "they" and never expanded upon.

Women won the right to vote, black people won the right to humanity, but not easily, the American government and police force did everything to stop them.

They don't teach that. they still don't teach the truths of American settlers. They still don't teach the truth of puritans and why they even came to America.

In however many years, they'll teach of this conflict. A mysterious "they" will have suppressed the riots, arrested brown people, attacked protesting Jews, and provided aid to Israel. as always, America will do it's best to rewrite history to where it was neutral at best. To where the police force wasn't involved, to where they weren't secretly giving Israel billions of dollars or weapons for ethnic cleansing and oil.

Don't let them.

Write. Speak. Anything. Even if it's telling your children or anyone close enough first hand.

Tell them who threatened to arrest you, what news outlets wouldn't report, who's countries' soldiers were killing Palestinians, who's president still calls the state of Israel a "dear friend"

Because if we let them or not, in 10 years schools will erase history.

Don't let them.

There’s just one thing my careful school day plans can never account for.

(Kyleigh's POV)(Summary: Where we last left off, Barrett and Kyleigh are expecting their 12th child, the seasons have just changed to winter, and the next big event is Celeste's wedding - Family tree for reference)

This pregnancy is going well, and for that we thank the Lord! Sometimes I feel this little one kick and I have to say a prayer of thanks that this is going to be the 12th little blessing that the Lord has thought us worthy of receiving. I've been seeing my doctor more often this pregnancy due to the risks of preeclampsia that showed up when I was pregnant with Jackson, they're also still monitoring me for gestational diabetes and have got me on the same workout plan just so that the risk is lowered. Since we already took a family picture at Harvestfest, we decided to add in a picture of this pregnancy to our family christmas card so that this little one is acknowledged. It also serves as an announcement to those of our friends and family who haven't heard the news.

The kids are faithfully doing school as we head into the winter, but they've been counting down the days until we travel to visit my parents. They get a bit of school free time when we go visit my parents, especially around the immediate holiday season when we're visiting and fellowshipping with various friends and family. They've been working on their usual scripture memory with an additional set of scripture that they'll recite during the christmas service at my parents church. The older kids have been dedicated with reading and memorising their verses, since they don't attend the sunday school class at my parents church regularly, they want to be on the same level as the kids that they'll be presenting with.

Little Jackson is growing ever more by the day! He's made a lot of progress and hit his milestones quite quickly, wanting to play with the other kids has him pushing himself to do more faster. He's mastered crawling, but now we're slowly practicing walking. His birthday is coming up before this new little one gets here, and even though he's the 12th child in the lineup, having them grow up and progress does bring a tear to my eye.

We've had dustings of snow, so the kids get to go out if they've finished their schoolwork and their chores for the day. Violet and Olivia have gotten quite close recently, Olivia turns 6 next year and will officially join the older kids in the school classroom. That will make it 8 kids that are actively being homeschooled! People always ask me how we deal with homeschooling so many children, and I have to say that it gets easier the more students there are! I sit with the kids and we have focus time, and I've grouped them together so theres no more than 3 in each round. That way we get all the difficult bits handled before I leave them to finish their work and do their assigned reading.

We love when the aunties come over! All 3 girls happened to be in town and have a free afternoon (Ashton was in Windenburg with Amira and her family after Harvestfest, Amira chose to come into town early for the wedding), so they stopped over and had some playtime in the snow with the kids before they took the a few back to the big house for music lessons. Having a big family is such a blessing, these girls are keeping themselves busy in the season of life that they're in that I'm so grateful that they still prioritise coming to see their nieces and nephews. With Celeste's wedding happening very shortly, we're about to have almost all our family in town again - praise the Lord!

Okay, but what's going to happen when Adrien takes a Biology class in school and learns that "Identical Twin Cousins" aren't a thing and are virtually impossible?

[sleepychipmunk]

I’m tired af so not sure how coherent this is but like. Something that bothers me a lot lately: unschooling. Specifically how it’s catching on as an excuse to neglect kids. Part of this, other than the obvious, is because *I* was unschooled for a good chunk of my childhood, but my parents actually put in a whole lot of effort to encourage my learning. If I wasn’t interested in something important, then they’d find a way to make me interested, no matter how difficult I was being. I recognize that most kids don’t have positive outcomes with unschooling and I think it’s because of how much effort it requires from the parents, and so many parents either can’t or won’t do that. I don’t want mine associated with people like that, not when they worked so hard for me.

Every time I read a MHA thinkpiece that can be summed up as "AFO is an evil All Might and Tomura is an evil Izuku", I'm like.........,
