Commentary: Betting on Homeschooling and Microschooling

I have spent the past thirty-five years creating small, highly-personalized schools where students flourish. I have, if you will, bet my life on the value of these schools—microschools before they became a thing. Over the course of that time, I’ve seen hundreds of children who were anxious, depressed—sometimes even suicidal—become happy and well within weeks or months of switching from a large, impersonal public school to a small learning environment which offered a closely-connected community.

Based on that experience, for the past decade I’ve been looking at research showing the various ways in which small, high-touch learning environments may be more beneficial for student mental health than are large, impersonal public schools.

  2. It's always easier to be shown than to be told.

  3. Home & private schooling education beats public school indoctrination even for the rich elite Liberals who applaud gay and transgender public school teaching in kindergarten while their kids are in $70,000 a year private schools.

  4. Home schooling, my sister home schooled her children, they were 10 times smarter than children who went to public school. One just graduated with a Master Degree before age 30 and the second a nursing degree before age 27. The one that has a master degree just got offered a job starting at 6 figures, the other starting at over 70k. Public schools do not teach, many cannot read let alone spell or do math. It is worth the sacrifice to home school.

  5. educated and useful once was synonymous a very long time ago. Public education seems to produce humans unfit for a civil society intentionally.
