HOMESKOOL JOKES & Michael S Morris from Butler Uni

[MEHSC MOBERATOR]

Mickey Mouth Mowwith aka "Michael S. Morris" from Butler Uni

the homeskoolas here...

...

ugly and ultimately totalitarian

Yep. Homeskoolas ARE ugly and totalitarian.

It would be nice if one of these years, Mickey Mouth Mowwith, you could cite
even a single shred of evidence that ALL homeskoolas do a better job of
teaching children than professional educators.

The central thing you really *have* contributed to this group is as a fall
for all the jokes about homeskoolas.

How are your snotty nosed brats going?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You Must Be Homeskooled If...


a.. You sometimes go to school in your pajamas.
a.. You sleep till 9:00 am on school days, but get up early on Sundays.
a.. You own the entire series of Saxon Math books.
a.. Your birthday is an official school holiday.
a.. Your favorite activity is shooting things.
a.. Your skoolroom looks like a kitchen table.
a.. You can get science credit for being a creationist and reding your
bible.
a.. You have ever attempted to teach yourself fonix.
a.. Your home library is a bible.
a.. Your only place to study is your kitchen table.
a.. It takes you less than a minute to walk to school.


You Must Be a Homeskoola If...

a.. You teech at your kitchen table.
a.. Your walls are covered with Jesus posters.
a.. You know what fonix are.
a.. You praise Jesus everytime you child spells his name correctly.
a.. Your homeskooled kid can name all the books of the bible, but doesn't
know what evolution is.
a.. You'd rather buy bibles than real books.
a.. You turn a trip to church into a learning experience.
a.. You are sick and tired of answering the question, "But what about
socialization?" because you cannot adequately answer it other than to vomit
irrational homeskool dogma.
a.. Talking out loud to yourself is having a parent/teecher homeskool
conference.
a.. You can never find your kitchen utensils because they're under the kids'
homeskool krap.
a.. The UPS driver delivers a box of crappy A Beka and Creation Science
books to your doorstep once a month.
a.. You know the names of all the decendents of Adam to Jesus from A to Z.
a.. You don't get fired for teaching your homeskooled kids crap
a.. The more your kids learn, the less you seem to know.


Why HomeSkoolun Is "Better" Than Education

a.. Most parents are not smart enough to get a teaching degree but they can
homeskool their own children.
a.. Children who receive homeskoolun will learn more about cooking since
they are homeskooled at the kitchen table.
a.. How can children learn about creationism as science at proper school
when educators think creationism is a pseudo-science and refuse to teach it
as science?
a.. Ridicule of educators is important in the homeskool the
anti-socialization process.
a.. Children in homeskools can get more practice "Just Saying No" to science
and education.
a.. Learning at a kitchen table may have significant brainwashing benefits.
a.. Homeskools foster cultural illiteracy, passing on important traditions
like the singing of "Jesus Jingles" and Trew Kristyun choruses.
a.. Homeskooled children may learn important skills, like how to sit still
for hours straight watching Christian videos and attending church services.


Top 10 Things ALWAYS to say when asked "What?! No homeskool today?"

10. Well sometimes yes, but most of year I need help with the planting and
plowing and feeding the pigs and shooting things.

9. Of course not!!! I never graduated from school, and I don't want my kids
to either!

8. Yes there is. We're just out to pick up a bag of pork rinds and some
Mountain Dew for the kids' nutrition classes then we gotta hurry home to
catch our soaps. That's the kid's sex ejakayshun!

7. What?! Where did you guys come from?! Oh my gosh! I thought I told you
kids to stay under the stairwell in that box I put you! I'm sorry. This
happens all the time. (sigh)

6. There isn't? Why, you'd think we would have missed the kids at our
kitchen table, don't you? Must have been too drunk to notice!

5. We're putting on a travelling show demonstrating our ignorance and
implied superiority. Can you spare a dime?

4. On our planet we have different methods of ejakayshun. (Shhh! No, I
didn't give it away... keep your antennae down!)

3. Oh my goodness! Today is maket day ...come on kids, hurry! Gotta sell you
to that nice white slacve trader. ..... Slavery is condoned in the bible,
you know.

2. Noooooope.Me 'n Bubba jes' learns 'em at home on day a month. Werks reel
good!

And the number one answer you should ALWAYS give to the question: "What? No
homeskool today?"

1. No, the kids are learnun Maths by filling in a Lotto form with their
unemployed father.


A Homeskool Mom's 6 Resolutions

1. I resolve to make my children "perfect" homeskooled Trew Kristyuns
2. I resolve to prove that I am a "perfect" homeskoola better than any
professional educator.
4. I resolve to give up on expecting an education for my kids because
homeskoolun is better than an education.
6. I resolve to give up on my kids and plonk them infront of the A Beka
books permanently.

Oops ... can't count coz I was homeskooled and my hand only has 4 fingers
... er ... 7 ... er wait a minute ...... 5!

I believe *all* homeschoolers do not do a better job
teaching children than professional educators. So, why
would I even consider searching for evidence
to the contrary?

Besides, it's an irrelevant observation. It would be utterly
ridiculous to require that each and every homeschooling parent
has to do a better job of educating children than the
professionals. That there are some instances in which schooling
in a public school would be better for the child, isn't even an
argument for anything, except that homeschooling is not for
everyone. Which everybody on this newsgroup agreed to long ago.
Since the default responsibility and authority for the schooling
of children is the parents', it would make more sense for you to
have to prove that each and every professional educator does a better
job of teaching children than homeschooling parents, in order to
make public schooling compulsory. Since it's pretty obvious that
the vast majority of homeschooling parents do a better job than
the *average* for the public schools---every single time
that homeschoolers have been tested and compared with the
average for public schools---, you couldn't even begin to
make such a claim.

Homeschoolers simply have a huge built-in advantage, since
they have been teaching their children for five or six years
before there even are public-school classes available, and
that instruction is always (or nearly always) one-on-one,
not one-on-thirty. And it is *always the case* that one-on-one,
with equally knowledgeable teachers (parent v. public-school teacher)
is better, wastes something like 29/30 less of the student's time
than the one-on-thirty classroom. I suppose you could try to make
the case that professional teachers actually do know more than
parents do, on average, but I doubt that is actually true, so
I also think you'd be hard pressed to prove it. Pretty much all
parents have had a high-school education, so they pretty well
ought to know any and all of the material that most K-12
public-school teachers would teach. Lots of parents then
have advanced degrees far beyond the material that
public-school teachers are required to know (and so much time
in teacher education is utterly wasted in "education classes" that
teacher "degrees" in English or math or whatever subject mean almost
always less knowledge of that subject than a regular bachelor's
degree in that subject without a teaching option would).

So, you never answered my question, Mark. How do you feel about
the "ageometretos medeis eisito"? Don't you agree that all public-school
teachers should be required (through certification requirements) to
have strong knowledge of elementary mathematics, say, at least
through multivariate calculus and differential equations? And
that, if we required that, even of kindergarten teachers, *then*
professional teachers would be worthy of some respect as a class.
They would clearly have to know something beyond your average
housewife, unlike the situation at present, and, moreover,
their knowledge would be of something precise and clear, and
of a subject that is almost the most important subject of all
subjects, since it is pretty much impossible to think about
anything without a mathematically precise mind. You would
agree with me, wouldn't you, that no teacher should ever
be licensed by the state without that kind of knowledge of
mathematics? Oh, and geometry, too, taking the motto literally.
I mean, instruction for children in Euclidean geometry should begin
in Kindergarten, and go on through every school grade. So,
of course, all teachers would have to have a strong knowledge of
Euclidean geometry in order to be able to teach children.
Do you think teachers as they are now certified have this
knowledge, on average?

He uses one standard to homeskool and another standard in his work I once

it's good enough for the kids being homeskooled why isn't it good enough for

GUIDELINES FOR STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAM REVIEW May 2005 In accordance
with the Criteria for Accreditation from the North Central Association,
Butler University is responsible for implementing an institutional
assessment plan.

Mission

Through accreditation and related services, NCA CASI
continuously improves the quality of education and challenges education
entities to prepare each and every learner for success.


Core Activities that Support the Mission:


a.. Set quality standards for the education profession
b.. Provide external review and validation of education entities
c.. Accredit education entities that achieve the standards and engage in
continuous improvement
d.. Challenge and support education entities to continually improve student
performance


I have marked with a * the areas related to education K - 12 that are looked
at in all public schools in NSW, Australia but are not universally looked at
in homeschools.

Post by Michael S. Morris
The institutional assessment plan includes a requirement for every program
to develop a plan and a process for identifying the educational goals or
intended outcomes of the program, and for assessing the extent to which
those goals or outcomes are being achieved. The assessment process may
incorporate findings gathered from students, faculty, administrators,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In summary homeschoolers do not have to think about or state :
- How their goals are determined
- The intended outcomes of their programs
- The overall plan of each component and how was it determined
- The organizing principles of each component and how do they fit into the
mission of the individual unit and their homeschool
- What specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are to be acquired
- What pedagogical techniques are used to convey the information
- What processes are in place for measuring student outcomes
- Assurance that processes provide several kinds of information about
student learning and achievement
- Assurance that the assessment procedures adopted by the program linked to
program goals and priorities
- The procedures that exist for modifying and improving the program in light
of the results from the assessment


All are activities essential for quality educational practice. As you can
plainly see, assessment is a vital part of education but not a virtal part
of homeschooling.


It is good enough for Mickey Mouth Mowwith to use these things in his
part-time uni lecturing but NOT in homeschooling? Why?


There is NO assurance that every child is receiving a quality education in
homeschooling.

Mark Tindall:

Good, we are in agreement about these opinions, and
have been for ever since you came on this group. Moreover,
I don't think any regular on the group ever said that
homeschooling is for everyone, and I don't think anyone
ever said that every single homeschooler does a better
job teaching children than every single professional
teacher.

That said, there would be seem to be zero evidence
that professional teachers on average do better than
homeschoolers on average. And in fact all of the evidence
that I have seen, has suggested, if not proved, the opposite.

Moreover, an overwhelming majority of
professionally-taught schoolchildren are receiving
very poor educations, so whatever quality
assurance standards are in place among professional
schoolteachers don't seem to work
(guarantee nothing) for classroom teaching.

Still hoping, Mark, you could cite a paper or a study
or something which would prove otherwise. But, I'm
pretty sure there ain't no such paper or study.

Mark, I told you before this "Michelle" thing is
beyond the pale. The problem is that it is close enough
in spelling to my real name that a person can read the
message as written by me, when it is not mine. If you
wanna do "Mickey Mowth Mowwith" or whatever, that's
fine, but "Michelle S. Morris" isn't even funny and it
simply creates confusion in any reader who is unfamiliar
with me. I consider your current puerility to be
contemptible---it's far, far worse than sophomoric at
this point and I certainly do not want it being even
accidentally read by anyone as being from me. At least
have the decency to own up in public to your own bad
behaviour, and sign your own name to what you write.

I said:

Mark Tindall says:
Please address me politely and respectfully

You aren't polite or respectful to anybody. I began
in this newsgroup by responding to you politely
and respectfully, albeit contradicting you where
I disagree with you. A contradiction
is not an insult, but you chose instead the path of
insult, as you did with everybody else (and
even sometimes in cases where they agreed with you), and
hence there can be no respect for you in my responses
to you.

Mark:
as "Professor Michelle"

You are not a Professor of anything, Mark. Moreover,
in my circle (university academics I mean), we do
not stand on titles (I am technically not a "Professor"
by the way, which is a job title, but I am technically
"Doctor Morris"---but I'd only use that if, say, with
Morris Machine Co., I had business cards or something).

Mark:
or "Your Highness"

This is what I meant by sophomoric. You aren't royalty
either, and I'm not sure I would address real royalty by "Your
Highness" in the first place.

I wrote:

Mark:
So?

So, stop posting under a name *that isn't your name*, and
which attempts to mimic somebody else's. Simply sign
everything you write with your own name, which is Mark
Tindall, and not Michelle.

Mark:
Change your name.

Put an end to it right now, Mark. I have never done you the slightest
touch of wrong in years of putting up with your execrable behaviour.
Put a limit on that behaviour right now and get yourself under control.

By the way, found any evidence yet that teacher certification makes
for better learning by students than from learning from their parents
at home? You know, some cites to papers proving that cherished belief
of yours?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In summary homeschoolers do not have to think about or state :
- How their goals are determined
- The intended outcomes of their programs
- The overall plan of each component and how was it determined
- The organizing principles of each component and how do they fit into the
mission of the individual unit and their homeschool
- What specific knowledge, skills, and abilities are to be acquired
- What pedagogical techniques are used to convey the information
- What processes are in place for measuring student outcomes
- Assurance that processes provide several kinds of information about
student learning and achievement
- Assurance that the assessment procedures adopted by the program linked to
program goals and priorities
- The procedures that exist for modifying and improving the program in light
of the results from the assessment


All are activities essential for quality educational practice. As you can
plainly see, assessment is a vital part of education but not a virtal part
of homeschooling.


It is good enough for Mickey Mouth Mowwith to use these things in his
part-time uni lecturing but NOT in homeschooling? Why?


There is NO assurance that every child is receiving a quality education in
homeschooling.

Fundamentalist Christian Homeschooling
Many states in the USA have NO standard for homeschooling whatsoever.
THEREIN IS THE PROBLEM! If pseudo-science creationism can be taught as
science in such homeschools then phrenology, blood letting, astrology, tarot
card reading, etc etc etc can ALSO be taught as science.

This actually doesn't mean much. Bob Jones Uni is a fundamentalist
creationist ratbag factory. I quote from their associated site ....
http://www.itib.org/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Testimony To An Infallable BibleThe church today is contending against an
enemy-one cloaked in the guise of truth and relevance. Ecumenical alliances
sound the siren song of unity, which in itself is desirable and biblical but
frequently sacrifices biblical fidelity to reach that end. The emotionalism
so prevalent in modern churches produces much heat but all too often
neglects the light of God's Word. The secular world, with its seductive
refrain of "tolerance" presents itself as compatible with biblical
Christianity. The resurgence of Neo-Paganism and New Age ideologies promises
greater peace and power, yet only echoes the age-old hollow promises Satan
made to Eve. Now, more than ever, it is time to proclaim the profound
differences between the counterfeits and the eternal truth of God's Word.
This is what the International Testimony to an Infallible Bible (or "ITIB")
is all about.The ITIB started a number of years ago when several men were
having dinner together while attending Bible Conference at Bob Jones
University. In the course of the conversation, someone mentioned how timely
it would be to have a congress which Fundamentalists from around the world
could attend to receive inspiration, instruction, encouragement, and
fellowship. A committee was formed, and in June of 1976 the World Congress
of Fundamentalists was held in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was intended to be a
one-time affair;however, those who attended were so encouraged and blessed
they requested that another such meeting be held.Since that date over
sixteen congresses (whether global or regional in scope) have been sponsored
by the ITIB. The global or World Congresses are held about every ten years,
while regional congresses are held every year or two in different locations
around the globe.The ITIB is co-chaired by Dr. Ian Paisley (member of the
European Parliament; Pastor of Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church,
Belfast, Northern Ireland) and Dr. Bob Jones III (President of Bob Jones
University, Greenville, South Carolina, USA). The ITIB Committee is
comprised of both ministers and laymen who meet occasionally to help guide
the direction of the ITIB. Encouraging fidelity to the Bible is their
overriding concern forthe ITIB.It is amazing how far error, posing as truth,
has advanced, taking control of so many churches and Christian institutions
throughout the world. It is our prayer that the truth of biblical separation
from all error, when understood and practiced by the pastors around the
world, will reveal the dark and dangerous situation in which the church
finds itself today.

A College That's Strictly Different

Secretive Pensacola Christian controls student life with tough regulations
and unwritten rules

By THOMAS BARTLETT Pensacola, Fla

....Pensacola Christian College prides itself on being different, not just
from secular colleges, but from fellow Christian ones, too......Lisa Morris
was walking to class with her boyfriend last October when something
happened. At first Ms. Morris, a sophomore music major, is reluctant to
divulge the details. Eventually, however, the truth comes out: He patted her
behind.Someone who witnessed the incident reported Ms. Morris and her
boyfriend. At Pensacola any physical contact between members of the opposite
sex is forbidden. (Members of the same sex may touch, although the college
condemns homosexuality.) The forbidden contact includes shaking hands and
definitely includes patting behinds. Both students were expelled.....Even
couples who are not talking or touching can be reprimanded. Sabrina Poirier,
a student at Pensacola who withdrew in 1997, was disciplined for what is
known on the campus as "optical intercourse" - staring too intently into the
eyes of a member of the opposite sex. This is also referred to as "making
eye babies." While the rule does not appear in written form, most students
interviewed for this article were familiar with the concept.
.....
There are plenty of other ways to run afoul of the rules. Last spring
Timothy Dow was caught playing the video game Halo 2. Such games are banned
by the college. Movies are also forbidden, including those rated G. Music is
restricted to classical or approved Christian ("contemporary Christian"
artists are deemed too worldly). Students are allowed to watch television
news at 6 o'clock, but that's it. The TVs are controlled by college
employees, who flip a switch to black out the commercials, lest students see
anything inappropriate.In the library, books and magazines are censored. One
student says she saw a pair of black-marker boxer shorts on a photograph of
Michelangelo's David. Any books that students wish to read that are not in
the library must first be approved by administrators. Those containing
references to "magic," for instance, are normally rejected. The rule book
specifically prohibits"fleshly magazines and books."
......Along with the college, Mr. Horton founded A Beka Books, acknowledged
as the largest Christian-textbook company in the world. A Beka sells
textbooks to more than 10,000 Christian schools across the country, offering
a complete curriculum for kindergarten through 12th grade. It has also won a
big share of the lucrative home-school market.

The company brings in about $70-million in annual revenue and is valued at
$280-million, according to Dun & Bradstreet. A sizable chunk of that revenue
goes to support the college, which does not come close to breaking even on
its own. According to its 2003 tax filing, the university collected
$20-million in tuition and fees and $3-million from contributions. The
filing attributes $15-million in income to "royalties," presumably from A
Beka.In the mid-90s, A Beka paid nearly $50-million in back taxes after the
Internal Revenue Service ruled that it should have been classified as a
for-profit entity. The college itself remains nonprofit.Revenue from A Beka
helps keep costs extremely low. Students pay $6,000 a year for tuition,
room, and board. That's about a third or a quarter of what most other
Christian colleges cost. When asked what other colleges they considered,
Pensacola students often mention Bob Jones, Cedarville University, Northland
Baptist Bible College, and Abilene Christian University. Cost is usually
cited as the deciding factor.

Just as the textbook company helps support the college, the college helps
support the textbook company. Many of Pensacola's students work for A Beka,
operating binding equipment, packing books into boxes, loading those boxes
onto forklifts. Some students complain about the working conditions; others
say it's a good deal. For women, A Beka is usually the only employment
option because they are not allowed to hold off-campus jobs. Or leave the
campus alone, for that matter.In the world of Christian colleges, Pensacola
is an oddity. It is not a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and
Universities. It has little to do with other institutions. Several
administrators at other Christian colleges declined to discuss Pensacola on
the record for fear of seeming critical. One said he did not know enough to
speak knowledgeably becausePensacola keeps mostly to itself.While not
wanting to criticize Pensacola, Carl A. Ruby, vice president for student
life at Cedarville, in Ohio, emphasizes that his university doesn't take the
"bad-kid approach" to discipline. "On major issues of Christian doctrine, we
are probably always on the same page," he writes in an e-mail message. "In
terms of living out our faith on a daily basis, significantdifferences
emerge."....Creationism is taught in science courses.....Several previously
unaccredited Christian colleges, like Bob Jones, have recently become
candidates for accreditation. Pensacola, however, has shown no interest in
outside approval of any kind. Nor does it advertise its unaccredited status.
A search of the Web site turns up no mention of accreditation. It is not
mentioned in the college's viewbook either, whichdedicates four pages to
sports activities and two to campus facilities.....

Lack of accreditation has been a problem for Amy Brown, too. She graduated
from Pensacola in 2003 with a degree in early-childhood education. But
because the college is not accredited, she cannot teach in public schools,
she says. She had no idea what accreditation was before enrolling at
Pensacola. "I never tried to transfer," she writes in an e-mail
message,"because I had friends that did and ended up with all of their
credits as electives," meaning that they had to retake required courses.Mr.
Ghobrial, the student from Egypt who doesn't mind the rules, wants to attend
dental school. His first choice, West Virginia University, has already said
it would not consider his application, because Pensacola is not accredited.
"I'm hoping they change their minds," he says.Many Christian colleges do
accept Pensacola's credits, as do some secular institutions. Several former
students say they have had no difficulty transferring credits or applying
for jobs. But others have. And as more states crack down on degrees from
unaccredited colleges, it may get even tougher for Pensacola graduates.....

ROBINSON SELF-TEACHING HOME SCHOOL CURRICULUM

##############################################################

- TOTALLY dependent upon good literacy skills to begin with.
- Lock-step without any deviation from the program.
- 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica used - outdated and too complicated for
younger readers
- 1913 Webster's Dictionary used - outdated and too complicated for younger
readers
- Science texts instead of hands on experimentation and disvcovery learning.
- Original King James Version of the Bible - outdated and language too
complicated for any child of any age
-Phonics only without the addition of whole language approach, etc.
- Claims to be "self-teaching" but pupils require interaction with at least
one other person - a teacher.

This "box:" is the lazy person's way of homeschooling and not worth the
money you will outlay for it.

Fundamentalism & homeschooling - "Little Ones To Him Belong" from"THE
FUNDAMENTALS OF EXTREMISM - The Christian Right in America"Edited by
Kimberly Blaker New Boston Books, Inc. Michigan 2003

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LITTLE ONES TO HIM BELONGby Bobbie Kirkhart

p. 48 ff
Our goal is not to make the schools better. . . . the goal is to hamper
them, so they cannot grow. . . . Our goal as God-fearing, uncompromised . ..
Christians is to shut down the public schools . . . step by step, school by
school, district by district.

Robert Thoburne in The Children Trap.....fundamentalist responses are
largely divided into attempts to control their own children's education, and
attempts to control all children's education.....Still, the typical home
schooling parent is white, Protestant, with above-average income and
education. When only one reason for home schooling is elicited, the most
common reason for the decision is the importance home schooling parents put
in religious education. One might expect virtually all home schooling
parents include in their reasoning they believe they can provide a better
education. Interestingly, in a 1999 survey, although this was the most
popular reason cited, it was included by slightly fewer than half of the
parents. This is in spite of more than one answer being allowed. Religion
was a close second at thirty-eight percent, and undoubtedly overlapped the
fifteen percent who chose character building and the twelve percent who
objected to what the school teaches.

While home schooling parents' education is usually above the average, in
only ten states are parents required to have a high school diploma or
general equivalency diploma to home school. It has been found that almost
nineteen percent of home schooling parents did not finish high school. There
is no question home schooled children may do well academically.
Homeschooling proponents point to the large percentage of spelling bee and
geography champions who have been home schooled. Unfettered by curriculum
mandates, those parents whose ambition for their children lies in these
subjects have a huge advantage in home schooling. It is more difficult to
make sense of the "average," however. Proponents point to relatively high
percentiles on SAT and ACT scores, and on various "norming" tests. Indeed,
they are impressive, but they reflect a selfselected minority of
home-schooled students.....Among educators and child development
specialists, the biggest concern with home schooling is the lack of social
experience, both inside and outside the classroom. Many home schoolers form
collectives for providing enrichment activities, such as field trips, and
enter their children in such things as group dance class or group sports.
But the interaction provided is structured and controlled, lacking the
diversity the child will face in the workforce and without even the limited
freedom of speech and association present in the high school hallway.Many
home schooling parents see this as an advantage. But if it is an advantage,
it is not one an adult can maintain and still enjoy the full mobility,
cultural opportunity, and freedom our society has to offer.

Educators point out peer interaction is a valuable and necessary component
of a good academic lesson plan. Class discussion, oral reports, and
cooperative learning assignments such as small group projects are important
segments of the modern classroom day. Most teachers consider them vital to a
total educational experience. Some of the reasons this is true may in fact
be among fundamentalists' objections to public education. Peer interaction
increases creativity and critical thinking skills. It is a teacher's job to
tell the students what is required, so students may meet the expectations.
But when one is trying to please fellow students, there is no clear line, no
"this is the answer they want" to seek. In class discussion, students have
some social protection if they want to question the authority of the
teacher's statement or the instructional materials. This is a practice good
teachers encourage, as it forces the student to look critically at the
issues and take ownership of his or her own ideas.....Typical fundamentalist
home schooling parents have taken their children out of school as much to
protect them from learning which they consider harmful, as to instill
religious values. This greatly decreases what the parent needs to know.
Certainly, in the field of biology, the debate is well known. Without
evolution, any real understanding of DNA is not important. Teaching it in
depth might lead the child to conclude the evolutionists are right.The
typical public high school literature class includes work encouraging
students to think beyond the cliché, and to question traditional values.
This is not as much to get students to change their values, but so that they
will know why they hold them. To the fundamentalist, all values are
prescribed in the Bible, as explained by some earthly authority.Questioning
them is sacrilege. Neither William Shakespeare nor Toni Morrison fit in this
scheme. Literature can go as far as oversimplified interpretations of Milton
and Blake.

Ancient history must be shaped to conform to Biblical accounts, and merican
history is distorted into an account of a struggle to establish and maintain
a Christian religion. Any serious study of ancient India or of America's
Founding Fathers calls these standards into question. Indeed, many
fundamentalists claim the Founding Fathers were Christian, in spite of a
clear record that the majority of the most prominent were not.Other social
sciences have to include the concepts homosexuality is a sin, anti-social
behavior is inspired by Satan, and people who have not heard the word of
Jesus are culturally deficient. This, then, excludes much of the traditional
teaching of the courses that might call the entire belief system into
question. Therefore, fundamentalist children are left with very primitive
concepts of biology and physics, with-if the parent can teach it-some
chemistry, though much organic chemistry is suspect.Mathematics does present
a real problem. Though its applications are often considered sinful, it is
not philosophically excluded from the fundamentalist curriculum. New math,
where children are taught to use critical thinking skills, rather than just
the mechanics, is typically avoided.However, at the higher levels, the math
is beyond most parents' abilities. Health class, of course, excludes any
in-depth study of the human reproductive system and certainly of birth
control. It may also well omit common psychological issues, such as
depression.Finally, Bible study is important to the fundamentalist
curriculum, but study here may be a misnomer. The fundamentalists' assertion
they take the Bible literally, without need for interpretation, belies the
internal contradictions within the collection. So, even Bible study, in
addition to lacking any critical analysis, is inadequate in significant
detail.

Fundamentalists teach the story of Jesus' resurrection as history. Yet, they
cannot teach the contradictory events and time lines of the various versions
without adding explanations that defy both logic and Biblical scholarship.It
is no surprise fundamentalists are less likely than the general population
to obtain a college education. Sociologists Alfred Darnell and Darren
Sherkat reveal fundamentalists were found to "have significantly lower
educational attainment in 1973 and 1982" than others. They are also less
likely to take college preparatory classes and have lower
educationalaspirations.190Fundamentalists are also often opposed to
colleges, because they see Christians lose their faith with higher
education. By not obtaining a higher education, fundamentalists never learn
to think critically about religion, politics, and social issues. This leads
to mental stagnation in many areas, and therefore, such problems cannot be
resolved.

There is no problem whatsoever with this,
even with science education. Since it is pretty
obvious that homeschooled children learn
science better than their public-schooled
counterparts.

Mark Tindall continues:
If pseudo-science creationism can be taught as
science in such homeschools then phrenology, blood
letting, astrology, tarot card reading, etc etc etc
can ALSO be taught as science.

But, even in those states in the US where there are
"standards" for homeschooling, pseudo-science creationism
can be taught as science, and phrenology and blood
letting, astrology, and tarot card reading, etc etc
can also be taught as science. Ditto for Australia,
for that matter. Leastways, I think freedom of speech in
the home and the church still exists in Australia. Ergo,
these things *can* be taught. In fact, only by means
of totalitarian laws could these things be forbidden
to be taught in the home, in the churches, and in any
institution that is not a licensed creature of the
government itself.
