Rights Require Responsibility

8/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Parents have the God-given right to choose the education their children receive.  When one wishes to retain a right, he must be responsible in carrying out the duties attached to the right.  You have the right to a driver's license, but if you show you are not responsible enough to handle that right, your driver's license will be revoked.  The roads you drive on belong to the community (i.e. city, state, or federal government) therefore the rules of the road are established by the state.  The state does not own your children.

To whom does your child belong?  Your child belongs to God and was created for the supreme purpose of eternal happiness with Him in heaven.  So whose standards do you follow in order to responsibly raise and educate your child?  Society's?  The state's?  Or God's?

What are God's standards?  We must look to Scripture and to the Church to find God's rules governing parental obligations to their children.  We do not look to state standards, federal guidelines, neighborhood fads, or the principal of the local public school.  We do not look to the professors at the teacher colleges, to the public universities, or to the school psychologist.  We do not look to other children, television, or to the football coach.  We look to God.  How are we then to know what God commands us to do?  We know what God expects of us through the magisterium of His Church.

What does the Church have to say about parental responsibility and education?  (Read More to find the answer.)

15 Key Facts About Homeschooled Kids in College

8/8/2013

0 Comments

 
In recent years, homeschooling has seen a rise in popularity, with more and more parents deciding to educate their children not at a traditional school but at home, typically with a parent as instructor. But just like traditional classrooms, homeschool doesn't last forever, and homeschooled students at some point will have to get ready to move on to college. Things are easier for home-schooled college students today, but in the past, these students were plagued by difficult admissions, culture shock, and more. Now, homeschool students often enjoy easier admission, better college performance, and even the opportunity to enter college with several credits already earned. Read on, and you'll find out more about what the homeschool college student experience is like today.  Read the 15 Key Facts at onlinecollege.org

"For centuries, homeschooling was the only option for most people. Today, it's viewed with mixed opinions as some question homeschooling's legitimacy. However, statistics show that homeschooled students outperform students who go to structured schools in a number of areas."

Survey fascinating demographical stats and trivia on homeschooling, a timeline of homeschooling’s history, and a pros-and-cons line-up of home education versus public education in a recently published infographic by onlinecollege.org.

Discipline: Establishing Authority

8/5/2013

0 Comments

 
It is certainly no secret that American parents (taken as a whole; there are some lovely exceptions) have not accepted their own authority over their children. As a result, instead of enjoying family life, they find childcare a stressful burden, and home life an endless round of begging, pleading, ignoring, cajoling, and hollering in an effort to make their children behave. In our nation’s public schools, educational journals claim that as much as half of a teacher’s time is spent in “classroom management,” thus wasting the taxpayers’  money and robbing better-behaved students of the education they deserve. In public, loud bratty children often turn dining out, shopping, or even a trip to the library, church, or park, into a major headache for parents and innocent bystanders. No one, not even a person with no children, is safe from public tantrums. Out-of-control kids are fast becoming the problem of every citizen. 
This piece by Ginny Seuffert is chapter 1 in her new book, It Doesn’t Have to Be This Way: Common Sense Essentials for Raising Great Catholic Kids and Bringing Peace to Your Home.  Read the full article from Seton Home.
