    Homeschooling Enrollment Skyrocketing as Parents

    Seek to Protect Children from Public School

    Brainwashing

    There is less faith now in the public education system than there ever has been. Homeschooling

    has increased by 75 percent in the last 14 years, according to a recent report in Education

    News. Homeschooling is growing seven times faster than a K-12 public education. Researchers

    predict that the homeschooling boom will continue to explode over the next 10 years, as

    parents seek to provide their son/daughter with a better education, one that is less controlling

    and less controlled.

    Now seeing that the federal government's no child left behind act has made public education

    into a factory line, more parents are finding alternative educations at home. As the government

    continues to intrude, it will be wise for parents to take a closer look at the looming common

    core standards that states are now adopting from the Obama Administration. These standardsdo even more damage, seeking to turn students and their emotions into stored, traceable data,

    using data mining techniques.

    Regurgitating information and coloring in bubbles

    The onslaught of government programs and standardized testing has rendered students just

    mere statistics in a database. Many parents feel like their child has become just another brick in

    the wall. The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports that the No Child Left behind

    Act did nothing over the last decade but pressure a narrow curriculum onto schools, a

    curriculum that taught straight to the tune of state testing guidelines. The subsequent inflatedtest scores never proved that real learning had improved, but instead created a brainwashing

    system. This standardized system has stunted creativity in children, scolded skepticism, herded

    achievement, and reigned in competition to an equal yoke, as kids learn nothing more than

    how to regurgitate information and color in a bubble.

    Turning your children into a traceable number in a database

    As government is continually looked to as the answer for education, new Common Core

    standards are being coerced into each state's public education system. These uniform

    standards make the No Child Left Behind Act look like a small appetizer. Common core goesdeeper than standardized education. It seeks to turn children into digitized pets tied to a

    surveillance leash. In fact, Common Core standards reveal data mining techniques, which will

    record and log a student's facial expressions and reactions through iris and other biometric

    scans implemented through sensors on school computers.

    Although common core looks like a state initiated plan, the program was actually coerced onto

    the states through a $4 billion grant from Obama's Race to the Top program. The federal

    government, run by controlling surveillance freaks, has effectively lassoed state support.

    There's an exception to that rule, though - Missouri. Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer from

    Missouri has recently wrote a letter to the US Department of Education, addressing several

    issues with the new Common Core standards.

    "We understand that as a condition of applying for [Race to the Top] grant funding, states

    obligated themselves to implement a State Longitudinal Database System (SLDS) used to track

    students by obtaining personally identifiable information," Luetkemeyer said. "We formally

    request a detailed description of each change to student privacy policy that has been made

    under your leadership, including the need and intended purpose for such changes."

    The Department of Education applauds the data mining techniques, saying in its February 2013

    report, "Researchers are exploring how to gather complex affective data and generate

    meaningful and usable information to feed back to learners, teachers, researchers, and the

    technology itself. Connections to neuroscience are also beginning to emerge."

    Nine states have already complied to this new technology, which goes farther than eyeballing

    student test scores. Students' personal information, including behavior and reactions are being

    sent to a database managed by In Bloom, Inc., which is a privately funded organization started

    by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

    Benefits of homeschooling

    An Education News report actually shows that home schooled children ultimately attain fouryear degrees at much higher rates than publicly enrolled students. As a matter of fact, some of

    the top colleges in the US, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Stanford,

    and Duke University avidly recruit homeschooled children. Homeschooled children aren't as

    socially inept as what others stigmatize. In fact, homeschooled children complete their work

    faster at home and have more time for community, church, and neighborhood social activities.

    Family values and character, the most overlooked part of an education, are taught much more

    strongly from home, making homeschooled children more respectful, higher achieving, and

    beneficial members of the community. Furthermore, most public schools spend very limited

    time on three other very important life skills - proper nutrition, hands on skills, andentrepreneurship. These skills are passed on well in a home school environment.

    All in all, homeschooling is on the rise as parents "wake up" to the reality that a public

    education has become nothing more than a watered down, standardized, brainwashing, data

    mining pool that sells their kids, brick by brick, up the crick for a lousy government granted

    paycheck.
