There are lots of things you don't get when you enroll at The MorningStar Academy (www.TheMorningStarAcademy.org). This K-12 online school is popular with homeschoolers who want a Christian curriculum... view before selecting a resource for schooling at home.
Unfortunately, modern society is riddled with "dangerous and unBiblical influences," making them, indeed, undeniable societal challenges. It's clear that this is not an issue we'll agree upon due to my reliance on logic and empirical truth, and again, that's why my best wishes are with the poor children under your reign of denial and ignorance. I expect much more for our society than its current state as well, which is why I denounce shielding them with substandard, removed "education."
It is the parent's responsiblity to shield and protect their children from harm. Protecting them as children makes stronger and more capable adults. Shielding a developing child enables them to grow in strength, integrity and character.
Thrusting a child into an hostile and unGodly environment can cause permanent harm. Homeschooled children are typically capable and sociable. The education of homeschooler is generally far above the standard as is evidenced by their empirical test scores.
Surely one must question a claim of superior education delivered solely through computer correspondence by uncertified teaching staff. Withholding a child from an "unGodly environment" will delay harm until a child achieves independence, at which point the unprepared student will likely flounder to develop an understanding of reality. I will continue to advocate for quality education, thereby standing firmly against the strategies of your profit-driven company.
You assume that just because The MorningStar Academy uses the internet to deliver a multi media rich, interactive and engaging curriculum that the quality of the education cannot be superior. Is this assumption logical? Rather than chalkboards and lectures and classrooms of 30 kids with one harried teacher, MorningStar Academy offers 1:1 tutoring and state of the art technology to communicate in a way that interests students.
It is shameful that an educational institution negatively defines itself through a sensationalized list of societal challenges to which non-home-schooling parents introduce their children through traditional peer integration. I will continue to advocate for forms of education that protect children through knowledge, not ignorance, and by enforcing certifications and meeting standards dictated by modern youth development research, not the Bible. My best wishes are with your poor students.
Sadly, the American public school system is riddled with dangerous and unBiblical influences which are outlined in the What You Don't Get at The MorningStar Academy video.
You sugar coat those dangers by re-categorizing them as "societal challenges". I do not see rampant drug abuse, promiscuity, violence and rejection of the Bible (to name a few) as "societal challenges."Those influences are unacceptable and unworthy of our children. I expect more and so should all parents and educators
Hey LBG, great video! What a helpful reminder to many of those who have chosen to homeschool for the reasons mentioned in the video. People choose not to send their children to public schools for so many different reasons, this being just one of them. Great job on the video, these things take a lot of work and I'd like to uplift you on your creative journey as you work on these. YouTube is fun place to get kickin on some great multimedia!!
