Texas declares sovereignty

I sincerely hope that you take your children and home school them. It is an enormous effort on your part BUT the pay off for your kids and your family will be enormous. God Bless you for trying to protect your family from the libtard machine.

I was home schooled up until the seventh grade. I can honestly say I learned more information at a faster rate than any kid in my grade in public school and I wasn't subjected to all the "opinions" of people who might not believe what my parents do. It's a great way for raising children in a safer, more careful environment and the parent can instill the knowledge they want their kids to know instead of what any teacher in the public school system will tell them.

Unfortunately, that robot behavior is being taught to our children in the Socialist/Marxist Indoctrination Centers (schools).

I'm doing my part to break that, but can't go full bore and risk my job. I've been lucky in my current position that a lot of the people I work with directly either own guns themselves, or at least are not (openly) anti gun.

I'll give you an example of going too far, IMO, that I heard from another teacher friend of mine that works in a different district. Apparently Little Johnny (don't know real name, but we all know Little Johnny ...) came in with a machete in his backpack and he was arrested. Now Little Johnny is still in elementary school. He was not wielding it, it was in his backpack. Not knowing Little Johnny or his past, and only going off the little information given due to privacy blah blah, I think Little Johnny got shafted. He's already going to have an arrest record and he's not even out of elementary. I believe it should have been, take the machete, call parents (which should have made sure he didn't have access to the machete ...), and a suspension for an appropriate amount of time. Now IF Little Johnny had it in his hands threatening other students/staff, OR if he were to bring it again, then I would conclude that there was intent to either harm or threaten, and then you would escalate the consequences to involving the police. The way that I look at it is this: When we were young, especially the boys, we would find things that were interesting and want to show it to our friends. I know we've all made the mistake of not thinking about what the consequences would be, especially at that age range. So, given that he wasn't wielding it, and not knowing the kid (because some kids you know that WOULD use it if they have it), I'm more leaning on chocking it up to a bad decision before malicious intent.

This is why I'm seriously considering home schooling my kids, probably till high school.

My oldest will be in the fifth grade next year. After that, it's home schooling till college. My sister in law has a degree in education to be a teacher. Luckily my brother's oldest is a month older then mine and they are also planning to homeschool after fifth grade. My sister in law will be educating my children, with myself and my brother as a guide, to include things we never learned in school. Maybe I'll be the P.E. coach and my brother can be the lunch lady
