They're Your Kids: An Inspirational Journey from Self-Doubter to Home School Advocate

Description

Is school for your kids a resounding success? For most of us, education was an
uncomfortable process of sitting in stifling classrooms, listening to tedious
lectures, struggling over stressful exams, and feeling like we were wasting
our time and energy. There were class clowns, ruthless bullies, teacher’s
pets, popular kids, and students no one wanted to be around. What if we
admitted to ourselves that the public school system is tragically flawed,
instead of blindly relying on the same misguided, decrepit bureaucracy for our
precious children? “Because that’s how I grew up,” just doesn’t cut it
anymore. Our children deserve better than to be institutionalized in an
education system developed during the Industrial Age. School shootings,
homework, and failing grades are all on the rise. Even school administrators
admit that their students are falling farther behind. Politicians throw money
at the problem and implement unproven and illogical new “standards,” while the
teachers’ unions contribute to their campaigns and protect their own. Sam
Sorbo knows there is a better way… As a mom of three and the wife of Kevin
Sorbo, an actor who travels frequently, Sam struggled with simply relying on
the status quo for their young children’s public school education. On an
extended trip for one of Kevin’s film shoots, Sam discovered she was playing a
role herself, as the “substitute teacher.” Nobody likes the sub! Public school
was forming a wedge between her and her young ones. It was this sobering
recognition that launched her remarkable journey into home education. Home
schooling provides a safer, sounder, and more spirit-centered didactic
alternative, even for busy parents, and it’s not as difficult as our bloated,
entrenched education establishment wants you to believe. With extensive data
and many shudder-worthy examples, Sam explores the systemic inadequacies
plaguing the public education system. They may leave you wondering why any
discerning parent still puts her faith in public school. Once you understand
the disintegration behind the classroom door, the solution becomes clear. This
book then guides you through implementing a better educational approach for
your family, one that is tried and true. Sam’s extraordinary story, her
discoveries, challenges, and triumphs, will encourage you to embrace the
wonderful benefits and incredible possibilities of home education for your
beloved children. Concerned for the future of your children? Think you
can’t home school because you work full-time? Frustrated with your child’s
so-called teachers? Anxious about schoolyard bullies? Too scared to even
consider home schooling your children? Be a hero to your children, skip the
school drop-off lines and fund-raisers, and enjoy a better kind of parent-
teacher meeting – the one in the mirror! This book can show you how. Read more
