Home Schooling - Kids Going Their Own Way

You will have noticed that home schooled kids are over-represented among the winners of spelling bees, math competitions, chess tournaments, music competitions, and the like. They aren't smarter or more talented. They are better educated. 

That's Better Educated. Period. 

Your children are wasting valuable time in public school. Home schooled kids are running rings around them.

Mississippi school says kindergartener injured herself on playground; mom believes she was attacked by student, website reports http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2014/08/mississippi_school_says_kinder.html

 

Your children are being tortured, mentally and sometimes physically, in public schools. Bring them home. 
 
Home schooling is a popular subject. A web search produced 453-million hits. A YouTube search produced a paltry 38-million. My local library has dozens of books on home schooling. 
 

I totally recommend home schooling if you can possibly manage it. For your son's and daughter's sakes, give them the education the government run schools can't. (Actually, they can. It's just that they won't. It's too much work.) If you think I'm biased against public schools, you're right. Read this: 

The Empire Strikes Back: Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown Files Appeal To Force Crappy Teachers On Poor Kids

Public schools are at war with boys.

If you can't manage home schooling, then get your boy hooked up with books from here:

Guys Read http://guysread.com/

"Our mission is to help boys become self-motivated, lifelong readers."

If you're worried about them not developing athletic skills or socializing, then stick them in little league or soccer or something. They will excel - if you home coach them! (My personal choice is to put them in martial arts, like judo. Let's have them learn a life skill as opposed to a game.) 

Get your kids out of the public schools. Let them Go Their Own Way by personally showing them the way. No one cares about your kids like you do.

The War Against Boys - A Book Review

The War Against Boys: How misguided feminism is harming our young men, by Christina Hoff Sommers

Simon & Schuster 2001

ISBN: 0684849577 ; 978-0684849577

Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/WAR-AGAINST-BOYS-Misguided-Feminism/dp/0684849577/

I especially recommend this book to parents of school aged children. I would recommend it to educators and academics, but they have it already, or they are a lost cause in the first place.

The style is readable. It is more dry and academic than aimed at the popular taste for the chatty. It is jammed with facts and figures, which are fully explained in a concise to-the-point text.

The 2001 hardback is very reasonably priced on Amazon. I whistled up a copy, and it's a keeper. There is a 2008 edition (Paw Prints Press) which I haven't seen, but I believe is updated and expanded.

But Wait! There's More! 
 
Here is a YouTube video by the author which covers the major points. (Well, the majors in my mind. The book has far, far more than what's in the video.) I recommend watching this before deciding to buy and read.

Money quote: "Boys are treated like defective girls." ... And ain't that the truth!

If you have a son in school from K through college, then you need this book to understand what he is going through. 

Dr. Helen Smith has written extensively on this. Here is one article from her blog: http://pjmedia.com/drhelen/2013/10/28/boys-are-treated-like-defective-girls/

Bachelor Pad Economics - a book review.

Bachelor Pad Economics by Aaron Clarey.

ISBN: 9781494463182 ; 1494463180

The Amazon blurb says:

“Bachelor Pad Economics” is THE financial advice bible for men…and any women who are bold enough to read it!

Good Advice. 
The book is an encyclopedia of economic advice. Up until now, we had to learn these things the hard way - by making stupid mistakes and losing money and time. Some of us suffered serious harm because we didn't have the information in this book.

The book is over 500 pages long with 15 chapters and an extensive list of resources. There is too much to cover in detail, so I'm focusing on three topics close to my heart. (You will find the Table of Contents at the end.)

First, read the introduction, How to Read this Book, and then read Chapter 3 - Philosophy. After that, skip around as necessity and interest guide you.

Education. Chapter 4. A college education can, and probably will, leave you broke, with debts you cannot escape, and - worst of all - no job prospects. There are ways to get a college education without being shackled to the banks. There are jobs that do not require degrees, jobs which pay better than those that do.

Do you have a white collar office job? The guy who fixes your car makes more than your boss, and Mr. Mechanic didn't rack up a ton of college loan debt getting there.


Girls. Chapter 7. No matter how you cut it, men have a relationship of some sort with women. We all have a mother, no exceptions. If you are a hermit, your relationship is abstinence. If you are a pick up artist, you're heavily involved. A MGTOW can be anywhere between these extremes.

The question addressed in the book is: How does it affect you economically? A hermit has it lots cheaper than a club hopping PUA. Both have a better shot at financial solvency than a married man with children heading toward the inevitable divorce.

If you decide to go PUA, this chapter has all the how-to info you need - not what you'd expect in a book with "Economics" in the title.

[A personal aside: I wouldn’t want the PUA's chances for catching an incurable disease - or getting brought up on false rape charges. I'm not sure getting laid is worth an STD. In fact, I’ve tried it both ways, more than once, and I prefer disease-free. Likewise, I'd prefer to live a long and peaceful life without defending myself in court. -WM]


Housing and transportation. Chapters 8 & 9. For most people, our biggest expenses (before retirement) will be paying for where we live and our cars. In here you'll learn how to live and drive without getting skinned alive.


Retirement. Chapter 15 - End of Life Planning. The day may come when you are too old to work, or just plain sick and tired of it. You need to support yourself. Maybe you want to "retire" young (I did). How are you going to do it?

By the way, if you spend the last year of your life in a hospital bed stuck full of tubes, then this will cost you more than most people's houses. Your widow and orphaned children will be left with a mountain of your debts, and your last memories will be of a living hell.


My recommendation: Buy Bachelor Pad Economics.
Consult this book before doing anything important.
