What if families could choose any school they wanted? What if there were no rules on what or how teachers taught? Would children learn more or less? Would society be drawn together or blown apart? These are treated as hypothetical questions in the modern debate over schooling, but the answers have been right behind us all along.
If you had the choice and the freedom, what sort of education would you fashion for your children? What kind of teachers would you choose? What would you want your children to learn? What kind of people would your children be when they emerged from their schooling?
Imagine it! You choose! You control!
A more modern civilization also achieved great things riding on the coat-tails of unregulated, family-driven schooling - America.
But that's probably not what you learned in school. Most of us were taught or led to believe that America became a great nation because of its public schools. We learned that forced government schooling brought us together culturally and turned us from ignorant settlers into educated citizens.
The truth is that America had become the land of invention, opportunity, growth and hope well before compulsory state schooling ever took root. This is why it was the destination of choice for oppressed people around the world.
We invite you to join us in exploring the history of these options so you'll understand the state of affairs we now find ourselves in.
State schooling took root in the mid-1800s. By 1865, the Wisconsin Teachers Association was insisting (along with many others) that "children are the property of the state."
Independent educators and parents have fought a long, hard battle to maintain their freedom. Their efforts have paid big dividends - not only for themselves, but for the many people today who find their children hurt and poorly served by state schools.
Our goal is to serve as a beacon of education and hope. We'll help you understand not only why we face a crisis in education, but what you can do about it. You have options today! Independence is a choice you can make now!
