Free Online Ged Class Alabama
Q: I missed the first part of the school voucher thread, but I
haven't seen any opinions of how school vouchers should
apply to home schoolers.
I'm interested in your opinion. Should home schoolers be allowed
to use school vouchers to pay for their school expenses?
Why or why not?
A:I entrusted the educations of my
first 2 children to our public systems... Both these children were
gifted.. According to the fanatic "placement test givers" with genius
level IQ's... Neither of these children actually managed to graduate from
high school, although both managed to score high enough on the GEDs (with
a 10th grade education) to be accepted to UAH based on their GED
scores... I find it rather frightening that they scored higher on this
test then most high school seniors in the state of Alabama.. SHUDDER!!!
I decided to go with the "Home Schooling" route with my next child, a
daughter... For her last years of formal education, I chose a private
school here in Huntville... Not the most expensive, but certainly one of
the best.. (I did my research)... She is now in her second year of
college at the University of South Alabama and has maintained a 4.0
average throughout.. A wonderful success story... My last child, a son,
was home schooled until last year when HE decided he would like to go to
a "regular school"... He is attending the same private school that my
daughter attended and is an Honor Roll student... I don't mind telling
you that these teachers were very worried about taking a home schooled
child... I think they believed he might not know how to add!! LOL!!
The point of this???... I am horrified when I read what the government
says is spent to educate my child for one year in the public school
setting... I'll be glad to save the government that money!! I'll keep my
child home and teach him and they can send me just half of what they send
good ol' Grissom for the privilege of not teaching my child!! Heck..
I'll take 25%... Or they can just give me back that percentage of my tax
dollar that is allocated to education in the budget....
Miffs me when I hear those who say that they don't believe in the voucher
system (in one form or another) or in tax credits for those who are
willing to keep their child home and teach them or pay extra in order to
send them to a private school which gets no federal funding...
These people don't want to pay for my child's education???!!! Common
sense tells me that the opposite is true... If I keep my child home and
teach him and they take my taxes for education... I'm paying for your
children's educations and I don't have that money to take care of my
child's education... I can educate my child cheaper than the government
can... Who couldn't!!!??? If I keep my child home, the cost of
education for your child
