I tend to be pretty cynical because I don't see a lot of good out there. I see a lot of ignorance, corruption, fraud and dishonesty. I believe all those things are institutionalized to a large extent and the state-run indoctrination system( mislabed as public education is at the heart of the problem.<br />No schooling is better than that imho.<br />As for gold and silver I use them to store my wealth at this point. I am self-employed and I earn dollars and spend dollars. <br />I am stocking up on food and supplies in advance of the shortages and disruptions I think are coming. I am just getting into gardening and am going to build a whole bunch of "square foot gardens" in my backyard in time for the start of the fall growing season here. My kids will each build, plant and maintain their own sfg also. part of the homeschooling process. <br />I don't have enough land to live off the land at this point but down the round I am leaning towards that goal.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01583545885401871178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462558996109930864.post-53066419707320440452009-06-06T23:05:58.456-07:002009-06-06T23:05:58.456-07:00I agree that homeschooling can be a better method ...I agree that homeschooling can be a better method than public schools. I also think that you'd draw a bigger crowd of believers, with the positive parts of a new change. One could focus on better tests scores of homeschooling-than the evils of the public education system? There's a huge crowd of folks who LOVE to educate their own. That could be a follow-up for the Right Reason:) Parents look for words of hope and greater possibilities-rarely do they listen to rants and paranoia. <br /><br />*How to do you buy groceries and pay bills with gold & silver? Do you sustain your family with your own garden and resources? Your very right to preach better nutrition and health. Is it affordable to live off the land?Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218631401448995834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462558996109930864.post-76929041173238421502009-06-06T05:20:22.174-07:002009-06-06T05:20:22.174-07:00For one I am homeschooling my kids. They aren'...For one I am homeschooling my kids. They aren't learning the garbage I was taught. I taught them to read and now they read better than a lot of adults I know.<br />I don't think the school system is reformable. The bureaucracy is to big and entrenched. They fight all real change. Failure is institutionalized. My solution was to divorce my children from a failed system. I know that won't work for everyone but it is becoming the solution for more and more families.<br />The only sound, honest money is gold and silver. I have converted most of my assets into them. The dollar will fail completely and has already lost 96% of its value since 1913. It will lose the rest soon through increased inflation and possibly hyperinflation.<br />Reading should be taught using the McGuffey readers. They taught americans to read for 130 years and taught honesty, integrity, responsibility and morality at the same time. All those are currently missing from the current system and the sight method or whole word method is a proven failure.<br />Austrian economics should be taught starting in first grade along with the constitution and how and why it came into existence.<br />Those should be the core of our education.<br />Also basic math with an emphasis on understanding debt, borrowing and interest. Also writing, logic, science, true history and correct nutrition based on using healthy fresh natural food as the basis of good health and as a cure for disease.<br />I could go on and on about why these are more valuable than the crap our kids our learning but just look around and you will see I am right.1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01583545885401871178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8462558996109930864.post-52360507959448856772009-06-04T19:52:28.046-07:002009-06-04T19:52:28.046-07:00Such optimism and bliss!

How do you feel about the new dollar coin that was put out for our use? (not using the words: In God We Trust). What classes should be taught in the schools today? I'm ready to hear your advice...Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10218631401448995834noreply@blogger.com
