Homeschool Views Of Public Schools

Our public schools are prisons. What exactly is a prison? It is a place where people are locked up against their will because of crimes that they have committed. So, then, exactly what crimes have our children committed? If they have not committed a crime then why are their lives and freedom being taken away from them? This is essentially what prison does. It places a person in a small cell, feeding him or her food that they may hate, making them work at a job they detest and causing them to associate with dangerous prisoners as they have been removed from everything and everyone that they loved and enjoyed outside in the free world.

We have essentially placed our 45 million children in this type of an environment even though they have done nothing wrong. This is no exaggeration either. Take a moment to compare prisons with public schools and you will see just how true this is.

Both prisons and public schools force their will upon those people who are within their walls. These children do not have any choice either since the government forces parents to send their children to public schools in just the same way as the police for convicted criminals to go to prison. Unfortunately, a lot of parents are not aware of this and so they voluntarily send their children to these schools. If they do not do so then they can be convicted of child abuse and sent to prison.

The local government also forces parents to pay school taxes for these educational prisons. Failure to pay these taxes will cause a person's home to be foreclosed upon and thus they will find themselves living out on the street.

School authorities then force children to stay in school until they are 16-years-old or graduate from high school. In essence, we have given our children a ten-year prison sentence. These children are forced to sit in boxes that we call classrooms with at least 20 other children for eight hours a day, five days a week. In these classrooms they must obey the wardens (teachers and principals) who many of them fear and dislike. They are also forced to study things that may hate or be bored with and as if that was not enough they must also associate with other children their same age. Many of these children are bullies, violent or emotionally disturbed. If this were not enough, when they are released from prison for the day they then have to go home and do homework and study for tests so that they can eventually be set free from this prison.

Children are removed from parents who truly love and care for them and placed in prison, under the control of a warden who may not love, care or have time for them. These children are no longer allowed to be free or free-spirited. Instead, they have to be quiet and obey the rules that are forced upon them. They are marched from classroom to classroom and forced to study subjects that are meaningless to them.

If you are a parent that does not find this to be harsh punishment for your innocent child then you should ask yourself how you feel whenever you are pressured into attending an event that you dislike. You probably are angry, irritated and even frustrated. During the event you find yourself squirming and maybe even dosing off as you anxiously anticipate the moment when you can leave this event behind and get on with the things that you truly enjoy doing. Well, this is how your children feel whenever you send them to school for eight hours a day, five days a week for ten years.

Our children are completely innocent victims here. They are victims of the local government and public school authorities. These people think that they have the right to do this to your children for their own good. If a police officer did this to your child you would fight him tooth and nail. Yet, many parents allow school authorities to hand out punishment to their innocent children for ten years of their lives.

If these parents think that they have no choice in the matter they are wrong. In today's society you can choose to give your child a fun, quality, rewarding, low-cost education via homeschooling or private Internet schools. So, if your child is telling you just how much they hate school, you really should listen to him or her. You can choose not to allow your innocent child to be put in an educational prison for ten years of their lives.
