I live in SW Washington across the river from Portland. I don't spend much time over there because frankly, I don't like going there anymore. I honestly have no idea what else to do. I advocate younger families to school at home, as I did, for exactly the same reasons many others have homeschooled since the 80s. We don't trust the public school systems. Back in the 90's we had to be careful to stay in during school hours in some areas or risk having CPS knock on our doors to check for truancy. Thank God for organizations like Home School Legal Defense.
We filled out our yearly forms to alert the Vancouver School District of our intentions to home school our sons. Fortunately it was not a big deal, but many in other states and districts went through hell for the right to keep our kids home to educate them.
I would like to see public schools completely reformed and the core philosophy to be teaching children math, reading, writing, history and the scientific method. But also to bring back basic life skills like shop, home economics, small business management and other useful information. But now we're being asked to go up against what sounds to me like "pre-terrorism" indoctrination for kindergarteners! What are we supposed to do?
