- Service Learning Pt. 1
By Mimi Rothschild I would like to take an opportunity to discuss an interesting supplement to a homeschool education: Service Learning. Wikipedia defines service learning as follows: Service learning is a successful method of teaching, learning and reflecting that combines academic classroom curriculum with meaningful service, frequently youth service, throughout the community. As a teaching methodology, [...]
Thu, 01 Mar 2007 20:55:17 +0000 - The Southern Baptist Academy Stands for Homeschooling
By Mimi Rothschild I would like to do my part to spread the word about the We Stand for Homeschooling petition. The petition was designed to help spread awareness about the deceptive use of the word “homeschooling” by public cyber schools. These public cyberschools are using the word homeschooling as a way to lure those wishing [...]
Thu, 22 Feb 2007 17:10:17 +0000 - Indoctrination Disguised as Diversity
By Mimi Rothschild There is a flurry of media attention pointed at a Massachusetts school district that distributed a “diversity book bag” to elementary students promoting the homosexual lifestyle. When David Parker, a concerned parent, prompted a meeting with school administrators, they responded by having him arrested for trespassing. An ACLU lawyer, however, told the judge [...]
Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:17:15 +0000 - Children of the State
By Mimi Rothschild Religion and Ethics has a transcript of a PBS special on home education featuring advocates such as Bruce Shortt and Voddie Baucham. The show highlights opinions from both sides of the playing field. A professor declares that homeschool students are not well socialized. Another claims that the government has an interest in [...]
Thu, 01 Feb 2007 17:26:42 +0000 - World Magazine on PBS Special about Homeschooling
By Mimi Rothschild World Magazine’s Joel Belz takes the public school to task in a recent editorial. He is specifically covering a recent PBS special about homeschooling, which in his eyes, was relatively fair and balanced. Giving the last word to Dr. Bruce Shortt, the documentary allowed him to get this insightful thought in. “Reich’s [...]
Fri, 19 Jan 2007 15:07:33 +0000 - Dr. Bruce Shortt Slams Mississippi Public Schools
Mimi Rothschild Citing some of the prime failures of Mississippi schools, and public schools in general, Dr. Shortt compiles a biting critique published in World Net Daily. What seems to burn more is not so much the inadequacy of the public school, but the audacity of its administrators to divert attention to the homeschooling population. [...]
Thu, 11 Jan 2007 21:38:44 +0000 - Cheerleader Tyranny Part Two
By Mimi Rothschild It appears as though there is more to the aforementioned cheerleading scandal than initially met the eye. The New York Post enters the fray. The girls in question not only bullied their fellow students, but were able to intimidate school administrators. Apparently one of the student’s mothers was the principle of the school. [...]
Fri, 05 Jan 2007 14:57:26 +0000 - Cheerleaders’ Reign of Terror Comes to an End
By Mimi Rothschild Sometimes I just have to shake my head at these sorts of things. The Telegraph News reports of a shocking scandal in which a clique of teenage cheerleaders essentially had the run of the school, even in the classroom. They intimidated other students, pulled pranks, intimidated the teachers, skipped school, and committed other [...]
Fri, 29 Dec 2006 20:43:56 +0000 - A Presbyterian Exodus?
By Mimi Rothschild This month’s issue of the Heartland Institute’s School Reform News included an interesting article by Grove City College professor Michael Coulter regarding Bruce Shortt’s crusade against the public school system. This particular piece takes note of an encouraging development in the movement. The Rev. Steven Warhurst, associate pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Kingsport, [...]
Fri, 08 Dec 2006 14:35:01 +0000 - Engage or Withdraw?
By Mimi Rothschild That seems to be the question on the minds of Southern Baptist leaders over the course of the last few decades. After all, how pastors answer this question determines very important policy decisions public and personal. Take a look at a recent article in the Shenandoah Valley News Leader. While citing [...]
