Parents, you love your children,
right? What if I told you I could take them away for you for 8 hours a
day, feed them, occasionally provide them medical care, separate them
from siblings. I will keep them away from you and their grandparents and
other relatives. I will put them in conditions that you will have no
control over and fill their heads with whatever ideas I feel they should
have. I might offer them "psychological counseling" if they display
certain behaviors. Their schedules will be controlled by bells &
buzzers. Their activities will be monitored. They will need to relieve
themselves at scheduled intervals or else they will need to seek my
special permission. I will not honor your religion nor your political
beliefs. In fact, if I find them offensive, I will instruct your
children against them. I - a "trusted expert" - may also choose to mock
holders of your views in front of your children. I will teach them they
descended from monkeys and that it is okay to have "two mommies". I will
teach them that it's their job to be focused on memorizing facts & on
getting ahead rather than on the needs of others. I may distribute
contraceptives to them and teach them openly about the most intimate
relations. You will not be allowed to opt them out. I will make them
associate with a pool of selected youngsters (e.g. those of the same age
& of either sex with all manner of beliefs). I will teach them
"disconnected facts" and "re-written history" of my choosing. I will
make it so they feel they need to be taught by others rather than
acquiring knowledge on their own. I will train them to think that
learning can only occur at scheduled times and in classrooms rather than
spontaneously anywhere. I will direct them to think like the mass
population using rewards and punishments. I will keep them imprisoned
indoors even on the most beautiful of days. I will restrict their
liberty to explore the natural environment around them. I will provide
them access to the Internet without your control. I will encourage
forced - rather than natural - associations among students. I will allow
their peers to laugh at them, mock them, pressure them about what to
wear and how to think. Appearances will be more important than substance
and hedonism will be heavily promoted. Your children will almost
certainly develop a taste for rock music that they will bring home with
them. I will teach them what I think they should know, regardless of
their natural abilities, aptitude, or interest. I will control nearly
every moment of their day, however I will provide them some opportunity
for rest, including providing opportunities for them to touch & kiss
each other away from your gaze. I will force them to read certain books
and to engage in physical athletics of my choosing and wear various
clothes that I pick out. I will make them compete against each other for
a "prize". Those who don't do well (based on my criteria, which is often
subjective) will be "marked" for the rest of their lives. It will effect
their self-esteem and their future ability to support their family. And
there will be no appeal. I will not allow you to have any say regarding
anyone I solicit to help me teach them. I will not tailor my approach to
the individual needs of the child, nor will I allow them to miss more
than a certain number of days of my instruction. I will force you to get
them immunized at my discretion. I will also force you to spend money
buying things that I say they need. I will praise your child not for
their kindness or virtue, but for how well he or she can complete an
activity or problem that I put in front of them. Mean, less-virtuous
children who have good memories will fare far better than kind, virtuous
children with lesser memories. I will do my best to ensure that your
influence does not affect them too much by using reinforcement,
"experts", conditioning, and by taking their time away from you by
engaging your children in various activities. I may even provide them
the opportunity to obtain drugs - some of which I may give them myself -
and I may allow their safety to be repeatedly put at risk. When I am
finally done with them, they will be dependent, rather than
self-sufficient. They will be consumer-oriented rather than family &
community oriented. They will be masters in p.c. ("political
correctness") while ignorant in all matters religious. They will be self-centered and ambitious with little
regard for others. They will judge based on appearances rather than
truths. They will be more "educated", but will know less than their
grandparents did. For all this, you and your neighbors will be charged
huge sums of money. So, will you let me have them? Would you think
someone else was crazy for allowing me to have their children for this?
What if the government forced you to send your children to me? What if
the police showed up on your door and took them away from you and
brought them to me? Would that be okay with you?

Well, as unpleasant as the above
sounds, if you send your children to public (or even private) schools
you may be allowing much or all of the above. And you probably think
it's the "natural" thing to do. But it's NOT.
It is not natural to split up
families and send the children to institutions run by the state for
education. Compulsory institutionalized schooling is NOT natural. Worse,
it's gravely harmful.
Empirical data shows that the results
of government education are worse than ever. The costs are also are
higher than ever. More disturbing, the state educational system is doing
serious damage to children, families, and communities - and even more
importantly, souls.
Also, it's unnecessary. In the past,
many people were self-educated. They learned what they needed to know in
the community (e.g. from mentors) and from their elders (e.g. mothers,
fathers, grandparents, older siblings). Some argue that an even higher
amount of the people in the past were literate than today. They also
claim that what takes years to teach in public schools used to only take
hours to learn.
It's a huge government-run
institution designed to remove children from their families (in some
areas it was accomplished only at gunpoint) and control their thinking.
It is financed - in enormously unnecessary sums - on the backs of
hardworking Americans.
So what's the solution? Each family
should return to the normal and natural means of educating their
children - teaching them themselves, within their home & with help from
certain members of community (that they choose). Remember that in the
past when there was no formal schooling, the people were generally
better educated in the basics and could better take care of themselves
and their families. They had critical thinking skills and weren't
dependent upon the government. They noticed and cared about the needs of
others. Further, children weren't conditioned to immorality, possibly
leading to their eternal ruin.
Parents must remember that THEY have
the primary responsibility & duty to educate their own children. This is
not the duty of the state. The state does not love your children, you
do. And you know what's best for them. The Church teaches that it is the
parents, not the state, who bear the responsibility for the proper
education of children. In practice, the results have shown that
homeschooling children outperform state-educated children. Also, they
are safer, have closer families, are less self-centered, and are better
equipped to deal with challenges. They are also undeniably in a better
position spiritually if they have been homeschooled by good Catholic
parents.

Homeschool your children or send them
to me. Your choice.
Signed,
S.I.S., State Institutional School
Just wait and see what I can do to your children. It will affect them
for the rest of their lives.
