Does anyone have any resources for home schooling? My kid is getting a crap education in the kiked public school system and I'm looking for grade leveled resources based on the 80's or early 90's standards. Any help would be appreciated.

Saxon Math, old editions, goes up through calculus and physics and includes trig/geometry throughout.

Easy Grammer.

J Wile's science textbooks. The original series was titled "Exploring Creation With Science" and covered chemistry, anatomy, etc. The original publisher kiked out so he's re-writing the textbooks again himself.

Introductory and Intermediate Logic by Jim Nance.

Make them memorize vocabulary and study Latin.

Read real history texts and as many original source books as possible.

It doesn't have to be super complex. Reading, writing, and arithmetic. And sprinkle in utility topics and real life skills. Teach them how to learn rather than focusing on a shitload of material. It's shockingly easy to teach a kid well enough at home that they'll wipe the floor with the GED and both public and private school PSAT/SAT/ACT scores, even by old non-affirmative action standards. Encourage them to learn a trade and build those skills early.

I would add regular phonics. Mooncricket, I applaud you for doing the right thing for your kids!!!!! You will reap the rewards as they get older, I guarantee it! You are THE best teacher!

You know what. Kids don't necessarily need science classes.

Just language skills. History. Social skills Home keeping Time with parents

Chemistry, anatomy, and earth sciences are critical.

I recommend the great courses plus, I used their math and science courses when I was homeschooled it's been some time but I see no reason they would need to re-teach those lessons, I used VHS and DVD tapes, I did saxon math all but one year and frankly I liked the great courses more.

I have no clue if they have become POZZED today but it was all no nonsense white male professors when I used their videos.

If your kid can't sit still, pay attention, and actively listen and incorporate knowledge they'll just be a waste of money, if your kid loves learning the information will soak right in.

I would watch a science lecture with my lunch every day.

Chemistry, anatomy, and earth sciences are critical.

Absolutely. People with little or no knowledge of things like physics and chemistry fall prey to stupid ideas like "5G kills people" or "crystals have healing power." When they understand how the world works they understand why those things are stupid.

OK. What has chemistry done for average Joe in their life time?

They should be taught practical, observable sciences & engineering, and creativity & resourcefulness in those areas should be encouraged as much as possible. Whenever they are ready to learn those things & be trusted with that knowledge.

You may not agree with Evolution, but micro-Evolution is undeniable. It's a good way to introduce an understanding of genetic inheritance & racial differences.

Fitness/ Health should also be a high priority.

I was homeschooled. So was my husband. I could talk all day about resources as I’m very passionate about homeschooling. Honestly, though FB is a cesspool, they have some really spot on homeschool support groups. I recommend joining FB and find a local homeschool group and also check out these pages and “like” (follow) them. You may not need to be on FB to see their content…IDK:

https://m.facebook.com/amuchasteguifamily/

https://m.facebook.com/FreedomHomeschooling/

https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100044178382226

Also, I recommend this site:

https://www.naturalchild.org/articles/learning.html

The books/audiobooks by NY highschool teacher-turned-reformer for modern education corruption, John Gatto, are a fantastic place to start to “de-school” yourself. Weapons of Mass Instruction by John Taylor Gatto is probably my favorite because it was the first I read, but all I’ve read so far are good.

Over all, from my research over the years, I plan to basically “unschool.” Grades are not necessary and kids learn when they’re ready. Textbooks are great if your kid wants to do them, but exposing them to trades/real life/experiences/books is much more valuable.

I love old books and the classics. My priority will be to raise an avid reader and free thinker. I have a very young kid as of now, so I haven’t started on anything yet.

I’m super passionate about homeschooling and am happy to answer any specific questions you have.

Going the “book route” here are my favorites from when I was homeschooled:

  • First, if you’re worried, get this book to break down all the “things to know:” look through this book and just teach what’s on the list as your kid is ready: What Your Child Needs to Know When: According to the Bible, According to the State: with Evaluation Check Lists for Grades K-8 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0970181612/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MBJ1FKM9EP4B20YN6088.

  • Map learning: Maps, Charts, and Graphs (LOVED this series. It was so fun and we wanted to do the whole book at one go)

  • Math: Miquon Math for the Little’s, then either Fred Math (never used; heard good things), Singapore Math (what I used; it was okay), or find something better. I HATED Saxon. We quit it after one chapter. Higher level math was Jacobs Math. I really liked the way it was presented.

  • Writing/spelling: Writing Strands (probably better stuff out there now; I’d look into what’s recommended by the Simply Charlotte Mason website too. They have good suggestions for whiting/spelling/literature).

  • Science: I’m definitely going a different route here. Much of the science taught is basically “Scientism” even in the homeschool world. We used Dr. J Wile books, though. They were mostly good. He’s pro-vax which came out in one book. It was easily refuted though.

  • Book lists: https://www.amblesideonline.org/ This site has some great by-grade book lists. Just go into the “by year” menu and click the book list link. Fantastic classics are recommended there.

In conclusion to this overly long post, I suggest you take a few months at least off of schoolwork once pulling your kid out to take a break and find himself/herself again. There is no rush to book learning. Kids learn whether you want them to or not. Don’t stress about it! Except in abuse cases, I’d argue that any style of homeschooling is worlds better than public school can ever do. You aren’t going to mess your kids up. Listen to them. They can guide you on how they want to learn. Let them help you pick out books. Use the library a lot to save money too. ThriftBooks is my goto for buying books the library doesn’t have.

The biggest issue for our family is missing "recess" with 20-30 similar aged kids. Sure, we can go to a park or something, but it's always different kids. They're missing out on developing long-term relationships with people they see on a daily basis. They're also missing out on getting comfortable functioning in a group setting and working with peers. How did you address those issues? I'm not willing to gamble that "they'll turn out ok anyway."

Get your kids into regular activities in your community, such as hockey, tennis, any kind of team sports. They will have all the socialization they need. Chances are there are also homeschool kids on the teams as well to get to know.

That's a separate thing for us. Sport is organized. Children need disorganized play time where they can do whatever they want. They learn negotiation, team-building, etc. from free play where they invent games and play them with other kids.

Church and sports

I've never been to any of these that had free play, meaning the kids can do whatever they want as long as they're not breaking any rules. Is it regional?

I went to public school in a 'good' school district with like 99% White kids.

I had a good amount of close friends in high school, we all became a bunch of degenerate alcoholics/pot heads in and after high school. Some turned to hard drugs, some became dealers and landed in jail, a few have died from overdose.

Now, about 10 years later, I've cut ties with all of them. The only one I still maintain close contact and friendship with is a guy I trained jujitsu with since then. I've quit drugs and alcohol and I'm married with a second kid on the way.

Explain to me how 'socializing with my peers' did me any good whatsoever. My kids will be homeschooled, I'll get them involved in sports if they are interested, and they will be socialized by each other, my wife and I, and other nondegenerate adults and their kids that I determine to be worth spending time around.

Explain to me how it was responsible for your choices. And explain to me how only public school kids do stupid shit like drink too much and take drugs.

I went to public school, too and didn't do any of that stupid shit.

they will be socialized by each other, my wife and I, and other nondegenerate adults and their kids that I determine to be worth spending time around.

Your kids are going to be awkward weirdos, probably mistaken for autistic.

There are tons of articles like this one out there: https://www.time4learning.com/blog/homeschool/socialization-the-biggest-non-issue-in-homeschooling/

This has been addressed by almost every homeschooler. And I don’t mean that in an patronizing or snarky way…it really is the biggest question people have once they are ready to make the jump to freedom!

I had consistent friends through church, common interests, volunteer work (adults can be friends too!), and a homeschool co-op group.

In these big 30-kid recesses you mention, the kids play in smaller friend groups, which you can provide at home/out-of-home easily. There is not much benefit in having huge groups of kids in a school setting since they pair off anyway, are having to abide by many rules to keep them “safe” (usually overprotective rules like no running), and are in a controlled environment without much freedom to be creative and explore (aka, they’re stuck in a fence).

Compared to my childhood and friendships, I view school-quality “socializing” quite lacking. It seems wonderful and necessary until you’re out of it. With a little upfront creativity and work, you’ll find your kids even better social situations.

By not being in school, I became much more comfortable in a group setting. School controls so many interactions and does so by age/ability, that “getting along in a group setting” is very artificial. In the real world, I learned to get along in multi-age groups. My school friends were only comfortable with their peers. If anyone was gambling, it was the parents of the public school kids. I also, of course, had peers as friends, but I was pretty mature for my age and preferred to talk with older kids or adults or play with the little ones. Kids my age tended to be catty and immature. If I was in school, I would have been stuck with those kids. Thankfully I had the freedom through homeschool to pick my own friends easier.

I don't know a lot about homeschooling but keep in mind that a lot of them are not diploma programs so your kid will end up having to take the GED which doesn't look as good on a resume as a high school diploma. Maybe check out schools with a correspondent course. Good luck to you.

I don’t know any homeschooler who had to take the GED. Homeschool is a legitimate school option. You don’t need a specific program at all. We randomly pulled together many different curriculums plus read books from the library as our education. This DIY method is more useful for real life than institutionalized school, from all I’ve seen.

Just follow local state laws on homeschooling and you’re good. I was homeschooled under a cover school: my parents filled out a transcript template on what I did, we ordered a diploma that the cover school signed, I took the ACT, got into a local college with a merit scholarship, graduated with honors in an engineering discipline and half way though college started my career at a well-known defense company.

Homeschooling is the best path. There’s no luck about it.

My information is based on things my homeschooled spouse has told me. State laws do make a difference as you said.

As an employer, college degrees mean almost nothing to me anymore. Their only value is that it shows someone started and finished something and didn't just fuck around for years, but I would feel the same about them if they had a good work history and were able to talk about skills they learned on the job. For example, one person might say, I worked at walmart stocking shelves. Another might say, I started at walmart stocking shelves, then they trained me as a cashier, then I worked for a month unloading trucks, then I worked in the gun department, then I was a night shift manager. It's not where someone worked, it's what they did while at work that matters.

I've literally met people with associate degrees who can't read or write, college diplomas are expensive toilet paper. High school diplomas are free toilet paper.

lol, I started in a university and realized I'd made a terrible mistake with my major. Went to community college, got my AA, and realized that I hated being in school, so just went out and got a job. Years later, I make a good living and have no student loans.

Once you find a path doing something you enjoy doing, many times there aren't any limits on how far you can travel down that path while the Internet and books exist. For example, let's say you want to be a chemist but you can't get a job anywhere as a chemist because they require you to be a jew debt slave. Start your own chemistry business. If people only realized how much time they would have if they didn't play video games, jerk off to porn, smoke weed, watch the electric jew or shitpost on anonymous message boards.

A GED won't matter at all. When your kids are say around 5, you start taking them to volunteer at food banks etc for a couple of hours a week. By the time they're 16 (usually the age that is old enough to be hired in most places) they will have 11 years of volunteer experience (some great referrals from those places too) which will pretty much land them any job they want. After they get their GED, they will have 2 years of work experience plus over a decade of volunteering. They will stand out in a great way.

Another great one to start when they are young, is put them through the red cross swimming levels 1-10, then bronze star, bronze medallion, bronze cross. They will be qualified to take life saving courses when they're 16 and can become a lifeguard. A lifeguard starting pay is $18 an hour where I am. Pretty good for a teenager. They can also become lifeguard instructors next. By the time they get that GED, they will have leadership experience. That is worth more than any high school diploma.

Don't forget to teach them various European histories & arts, faiths, tales, cultural practices. There is a lot of cultural exchange between Japanese and Europeans, and almost no exchange between different European nations, despite them being so closely related. (Aside from American Kikes blasting media into everyone's faces).

There's only so much time for learning about these things and the current education system is very bias. History of ancestors and close nations should be the highest priority, so they can develop a better appreciation & sense of purpose or belonging.

https://www.oakmeadow.com/ I used this personally and turned out smarter than anything the local school district ever churned out. My family did the independent option but if you get in over your head they have remote learning and consulting options too.

Saxxon Math was good when I used it. Get used to raiding library sales and used book stores. Don't ever try to source through a local school district, it's nothing but trouble.

CHECK YOUR LOCAL LAWS REGULARLY. Never needed a GED since my state allowed diplomas generated by my parents registered homeschool. Scored high enough on my ACT/SAT tests for National Merit and went to college just fine.

Definitely look for a local homeschooler group. A lot of them are attached to a local church, ymmv on how much religion slips into that if you care. There are secular groups too.

The decent groups will pool resources for field trips, sports facilities/programs, etc. that you can't do yourself. It's a great way to meet like minded parents and let your kids socialize. Later on they can organize Proms/dances/parties too.

If you're near a decent sized city get a membership at a local science museum. Kids love them and they usually have programs to provide science labs for local schools. Your homeschool can book them too.

Finally when they hit high school do enroll them at a local trade school. Most of them allow adult enrollment alongside student concurrent. There are benefits beyond learning a practical skill. It'll give them all the "classroom" experience they need to survive college and the public at large.

First step- join the Home School Legal Defense Association. https://hslda.org/

Second step, submit a letter of intent. HSLDA has standard forms to submit and Legal experts for each state.

Third step, get a curriculum. My wife and I use Memoria Press. They sell full curriculum packages by grade year. https://www.memoriapress.com/ It's Christian education, including Greek and Roman history as well as teaching Latin.
