Parental Choice in Education Allows Needs to Start with the Child and be Customized Around the Child.

Into whose hands goes the decision of what will be learned and by when?

Currently, the system’s standards make the system more important than the children it is supposed to serve, hence:

A Declaration of Educational Independence.

Parental choice in education is needed rather than the new laws being foisted upon us.

We need to change the core common standards that perpetuate the current system along with its belief that all children can be cookie-cutters and all the same.  This is a system that has not served our children well; and has only served itself.

Become your child’s best learning coach.

More freedom in education.

We use the word “sovereign” in our conversation with Linda: by that we mean, having the child in charge of its interests and having a correct level of free choice.  We also refer to this as “being at cause”—this as compared to being constantly held at effect or at the receiving end of a teachers dictates.

What internet resources are there available to help you help your kids get good grade?

Roger & Virginia interview Terry Neven, the Administrator of the Sundland Home School Program.  Terry founded Sundland in 1981.  In 2008, Terry, Sundland and their attorneys won the case before the California Supreme Court that established as law the right of caring parents to home school their children.  This win established the precedent that affected home-schooling rights for all Americans.

Listen to how one father helped his son overcome the barriers to learning by using the materials in our book.

This is a wonderful true story of how a young boy became enamored with a love of learning following his discovery that he could learn the meaning of words!  He became so alive with discovering the use of a dictionary that he actually wanted to get, as he put it: “All the kids in my class at school need one of these!  I’m going to buy some and give them to them.”

This week’s Learning Curve is about your child’s method and style of learning.

This week’s Learning Curve is about your child’s method and style of learning.

We each have our own method of learning—and you should allow your child to do it it’s way!  You can’t dictate this to a child.  If you try to dictate how your child should learn, you’ll crush the kid and give them losses. Similarly, you must strive to facilitate an optimum balance between cause and receipt (the child being causative versus being made to inflow from the parent/teacher) in the learning process. If you violate either of these principles you risk sending your child down through the three levels of student decline to the bottom where the child goes into failure and gives up. We also discuss the point that dyslexia may well be the mark of a higher of a higher level of natural ability . . . not the disability that conventional wisdom holds it to be!  Tune in to get this latest on what research has revealed on these important issues.
