    Home schooling might become a bigger thing. At least you can better control what is taught.

    Do you guys know what they teach in public schools now? They teach slavery. Then they teach more slavery. Then more slavery. No other subjects to speak of, only slavery.

    There is nothing more worthless than a public school teacher. They are ALL either incompetent, burnt out, or complicit with this curriculum. No matter which they should be fired. All fired. Then, reorganize everything if you even want to keep your kids in that school. All teachers should have a B.S. in Science to teach anything and even then they should be tested before hired.

    The very idea a teacher should be paid something comparable to an engineer is just plain crazy. Believe me, they would do the same job for $1000.00 a month. In fact, that ought to be their base salary with bonus for students achieving test scores beyond the mean, median and mode. But even then they should only be paid for the actual months they teach.

    I think I might start a home school course for kids.

    They will learn some actual, sometimes inconvenient history. Supported science. Math. And just about everything you ever wanted to know about ninja. I will also spend an entire hour devoted to independent and critical thinking skills.

    I think there is a lot of money out there just waiting for me.

    It would be interesting if the teachers union gambit to keep people from going back to work because they have to stay home with her kids, that’s hurting the economy and hurting trumps chances for reelection, actually open up the door to more and more people rejecting public education and demanding that they be able to take their money to the school of their choice.

    Denver public schools are out until the election. Every time I look at the I HME data I just don’t see where all of the end of the world projections are coming from.

    It's that simple.

    As of mid July the largest two districts here, Philadelphia and Bucks Co, will be reopening. However, as far as I understand it they will offer a hybrid and a home schooling option. Not sure how that's going to work but I don't have kids so it's not something I pay attention to

    There is a store about 30 minutes from us that caters to the homeschool crowd, they sell curricula and supplies. My wife goes about twice a year, sells the stuff the kids grow out of, pick up new curricula for the upcoming year. She went on Monday, said it was bursting at the seams, a lot of people who have not homeschooled but planning to start. She said strangers would come up to her (and other women, and the workers) asking "do you homeschool already? I need advice on XXXXXX...." There is some great material coming out of this for a for-real paper....

    There is a market. You just gotta find your niche, your 'thing.'

    Most of the HS curricula I'm familiar with is Christian oriented, but there could be a good market for more secular material, if that's what you were aiming at.
