Whether it's suburban, urban, rural, find a land close enough to build the structure where each and everyone can potentially commute to.
It came from me realizing that: I want a family; community; want to have kids educated outside of globohomo with strong values; this necessitates community since homeschooling your kids totally solo makes your kids weird; eventually will need a schoolhouse to further formalize and grow said community
it's radical but much easier to get enough people behind vs. a full on commune imo
Yeah, we need to find a suitable state...Arizona isn't bad, I would rather avoid vaccination, so that will get tricky.
physical structures and space is powerful
I'm open to location.
It's a shareable idea
something I want to talk out with interested parties
the idea is getting enough folks in the same area to really move forward with it.
Combination of reaching out via IE and locally, both tough in differing ways, to form a large enough group.
May or may not necessitate relocating for some.
It's a tangible project that, for me, is exciting. Building a schoolhouse. Our own institution
Even if you're single and broke, you can still offer up sweat equity. Contribute any way you can.
Those with families already can get involved with their own kids for the sake of their future kids and/or kids' kids.
No one in this movement, and those on the peripheries, are in the same point in life.
True
It won't be about just your own immediate family right now, it's working towards an ideal and getting as many involved as possible.
That's the main thrust of my idea, your thoughts?
Any ideas you'd like to share?
There are a lot of home schooling "CoOps", I don't know much about them. Maybe we can search statistics on where the largest homeschool population is...
There definitely are. They're just often VERY leftist or fundamentalist Christian. I don't relate to either.
I'm fine with faith, and having it in school. I just don't want the school to be a de facto religious program
The lefties are super "unschooly" and gay...I can handle the Christians but some of the ready made curricula I've seen suuuuuucks.
Good point I suppose
Yeah, bad. I'm less concerned with the curriculum.
Some poz has been snuck in
More concerned with numbers and a physical structure.
The more numbers = the more knowledge and experience we have to pull from for teaching methods and the like.
Yeah, everyday can be career day.
But I'm certainly open to shooting the shit so to speak
I'll ponder on this a bit.
I just don't want the idea to get bogged down in people sperging out over curriculum when we live however far apart, have no physical space/structure, etc.
"if you build it they will come" sort of thing
Have you joined the Skills Server?
No.
Get in.
I'll look into it.
Some good people.
They may have already gone pretty far on what you're after.
I'm new. You're the first person I've had a chance to unload my thoughts on the matter on
Texas has a lot of HS
