I read the entire transcript of Obamas speech. The one where he says all sorts of lovely stuff about women. And then claims that women are forced to stay home because childcare isn't available.
I want to know how many women that ACTUALLY is?
Find me a stat. A number. I want the proof from the horses mouth.
I see that women who want to work, can and do. He wants to magically make daycare more available and better? By what funding it through the government? Sending our kids to institutions ran by government workers? Where do these magic daycare/childcare providers come from? They must be women, right?
How does he think he will create better child care programs? He says all this wishy washy stuff. But never says HOW he will accomplish it. And no one ever thinks about it all the way through.
As a homeschooled individual, it's extremely demeaning & insulting to say that children are better taught outside of the home. ..
"because we know investing in high-quality early childhood education makes all the difference in the world." -Obama
And frankly, it's ignorant to claim children are better educated by professionals with strangers sitting all around. Some children NEED one on one attention.
Staying home was a stress free, bully free, schedule free, environment. I made choices about my education when I was 10. I was able to choose what projects to do. And I was able to focus on things I liked to learn about while also incorporating important educational areas - reading, writing, math, science, history.
So to say that a child is best served in a classroom of 30 students at age 3, isn't fair. Not all children thrive in chaos. Actually, most do not enjoy it.
Our son is very social, get him in a huge group of people and he clams up. It overwhelms him. And why wouldn't it? And why is it said to be bad if he can't handle loud groups of people? I can already tell, he learns best when he's one and one. He needs quiet, loving attention.
And I will provide him with opportunities and experiences in group settings. We will join home educating co-ops for group learning. And he will get socialized. I promise.
Somehow I managed to be homeschooled and still attend highschool and graduate with honors! And then obtain two college degrees. I have my associates degree and LPN.
Weird.
Shouldn't I have been stupid from all my "home edumacating" by someone who isn't a qualified professional?
HOW could someone dumb home educate me? Is that a serious question?
