Another grave problem we need to address.

You get rid of all the useless sports, music and arts classes and you can get those kids a shorter school year and out working full time on the rigs and in the fields by the time they are 12. Make the little bastard leeches productive again. Should be starting families by the time they are 14. Just like the good old days. Maybe bring back polio for some motivation.

Homeschoolers thankfully choose their own curriculum. None of ours uses new math, masturbation techniques, revisionist native history, we are on treaty land bs, or climate change garbage. We are thankful there are great options out there, and that the sask government gives us choice. I admit it is hard to pay taxes into a system we do not use, one that spends ten thousand plus per kid, while we get maybe 300 back, but it is what it is. Especially because our division gets money for their schools based on OUR kids existence!

Farmaholic, I have a ten year old who knows his times tables backwards and sideways that you could hire if you want. Knows how to work, too. My 14 year old fixed my tractor solenoid for me last week, soldered it up, he is an electrical wizard, and has more practical knowledge than most any multiple degree minds out there. Our kids have seen some of those who have no clue how to make change at the store, and they were appalled to see it. Lol

Each of my four kids run businesses on their own, some with multiple streams. Ages 10 to 15. I am more than a little proud of them. If they were in school, being limited and held back by the dumbest kids in class, admit it, that is the model these days, wasting 8 hours a day, their businesses would fail. Lol

Right now the push is on to finish school for the year in the next six weeks, because lambing time is coming! And their businesses fire up in May too, so we want them free to operate. So they have kicked it up a notch to more like 5 hours a day rather than the usual three. 😆

AF5, you forgot:
Global cooling iceage (70s)
Nuclear winter (70s)
Ozone hole (80s)
Y2K (90s)

Sheepwheat, You probably don't drug your active boys to oblivion who can't sit still and listen to some feminist teacher tell the class all about toxic masculinity.

15544, polio and measles are making a big comeback where the millennials are having their baby and not vaccinating then letting in thousands from some 3rd world country who have never heard of vaccinations.

Also do not forget about women and native and trans studies, but this may fall under the more advanced university curriculum.

LOL, to some extent they are teaching history before it happened.... think about that for a minute.

It’s good, but it ain’t utopia. There are sacrifices made. Sacrifices that cost money and cause other stresses. But it is good.

Black powder, my boys drug is heading out on the skidoo to check their weasel boxes and squirrel snares. Lol. Wonder if the feminist types would approve?

Yes, I covered that with the mention of dire predictions about the near past...

Most of these indoctrinated kids will grow up, and start to question why the future isn't unfolding how they learned it in history class. Even Chuck himself may someday question which reality is actually real.

Maybe all you on here bitching about the public school system should look in the mirror before pointing fingers at everybody else! Education of children doesn't only run from 9:00 -4:00

My children went to public school, but every night at home my wife worked on their homework with them. They all learnt the multiplication and division tables, they all participated in school sports, they worked on the farm and had part time jobs.

So it all starts at home my friends quit blaming everybody else in the world for everything you want fixed!


SHEEP the world is a lot bigger then that homestead of yours, the public schools provide many positive learning experience and social experiences. You always seem bitter towards the outside world weather it's your neighbors, not getting funding for your Bible Camp, and now the public schools.

I hope that's not part of the home schooling

15444 read your post, just wondering did you have children?

I'm glad mine are through.

I would have to agree that school offers much needed social interaction.

And not all ****ed up kids come from ****ed up homes! It's just not that easy to blame patents for ALL their ,young, adolescent and adult children's actions. Funny how a group of siblings grow up in the same home with all the same rules and they each turn out somewhat different... personalities, wills, and a pile of other characteristics determine who and what they'll be.

Edit in, but remember to some extent your kids are a "character" reflection of you, if you don't like what you see at times....you and your spouse need take a sobering look in the mirror! Kids are very impressionable, be careful.
