A completely online bachelors is a piece of cake. Or a cinch. Whatever tickles your pixels.

Livestreaming technology is here, now.

A major problem will be accreditation, since the education lobby controls much of that.

Time to "uber" the education industry, to a greater extent than already done. And make courses easily transferable, and long lasting.

Just watched a fella I know well this morning, get his channel and his entire registration booted off of YouTube because he was streaming a program that was critical of Islam.

Computer technology could help eliminate the madness of loading our kids in buses every morning and delivering them to government indoctrination centers (public schools) and then busing them back home in the afternoon. In congested cities school buses play havoc with morning and afternoon traffic. We could save tax money on schools. Then there’s the danger to children walking in traffic to think about.

I could definitely see a future when schools become obsolete.

Florida already has FLVS, Florida Virtual School, for homeschoolers.  I doubt that it is the only state.

Yep, that's true.  Most of the other homeschool families I run across are liberals.  For some reason conservatives have pretty uniformly denounced homeschooling, the biggest reason being they think it's improper socialization for children.  At least that has been my experience.

I have attempted to draw people here's attention to the problem.  Many of them laud the role the internet has played in bypassing the propaganda media,  and I try to point out as often as possible that this period of influence is likely going to be short because the leftest behemoth is moving to acquire complete control over the internet and thereby prohibit dissenting opinions.   

Goolag censors videos on YouTube that they disagree with,  which is anything critical of Islam,  anything critical of Homosexuality,  anything graphic that is critical of abortion,  and many people who are just conservative minded.

Twitfest kicks people off or suspends them regularly for voicing unapproved opinions,  and so does Fascist book. 


Virtually every major internet company promotes the politics of San Fransisco because virtually all of them are located in San Fransisco. 

These people aren't using government licenses to do their censorship,  they are using their economic might and the power of monopoly they have created by getting so large that nobody can compete with them.   


No,  the Beast is not going to permit free speech.

It's pretty strong out here. And growing...
But it is funny that the two main communities come out of rednecks and hippies... Homesteading makes for strange bedfellows. But it is an amazement how those two groups are finding common ground.

Home schooling has changed a lot over the years.  I did a paper on it in College, and I was fascinated by what I found, and this was back in the 80's.  Popular acceptance has grown enormously since then.  Back then, it was primarily thought of as a way for racists and religious fanatics to keep their kids away from "bad influences," but as the schools became lawless places, where real cops patrol the halls, bullies have free reign and there are metal detectors at the doors, people started seeing advantages to keeping their children home.   Multiple families now form alliances where different parents teach different subjects, many of them experts working in real-life jobs with applicable skills.

The most common quote I kept seeing from proponents in my research was "One amateur adult can do better with one child than one professional can do with 30 children."

The argument used to be, "You're depriving your children of learning social skills by keeping them home."  Now the argument has become "I don't want my child learning the social skills being taught by your leftist indoctrination centers."

This movement will drive the next generation to the political right.  The leftist academics know this, and are starting  anew effort to crack down on home schooling, so watch for it.

We finished schooling my kids at home, but we had to leave the big urban in order to do it.

Well, I assumed you were agreeing with the poster you quoted.

If it was just a general 'nope' to everything, I could possibly agree.
If you have issue with what I say, you can address me. Kindly let me know what emotionally established governments have fared well, historically. As for the emotionalism, I believe I not only am not the first to recognize it, but there are even others who seek to capitalize on it.

How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Who needs 20?  I joined the fight against the left two decades ago.  Why?  Because I detest commies.  And that sentiment has only grown over those past two decades.... and especially during the eight years of Obamanation.

They have infiltrated and infected every aspect of our lives and every venue of government, media and entertainment.   They're a disease that I much suspect will be fatal to this nation.... given enough time and leniency to their leftist agenda. 

I'll say it again.  As long as Trump stands against the radical left in America, I will stand with or in support of Trump.  (Disclaimer: that does NOT mean that I will approve of his every utterance, EO or twittering tweet, however.)

Already ahead of that curve. I helped to build a schoolhouse for the hillbillies up west of town. Not a 'schoolhouse' per se, as that falls under regulatory burden. But enough of the hillfolk are accredited that they could better teach a subject than the parents directly, and there is something to the idea of giving the parents a break and the kids opportunity for socializing...

So we built a grange hall - what all y'all would call a 'community center'... Turns out it is good for that schooling, and as a church, and as all sorts of things.

If I can get my feet under me, that's something I might just repeat - I have a chunk of highway fronted land available up west of town... I think I will do a general store up there, with a grange hall and kinda playground thing behind... With hitching rails for horses... I won't make a ton of money, but I will be an active part of a community of great, great people.

There is an arsenal of great depth for a people who remember and do things the old way.

Yup.

When my Mom was little during the Depression, my Aunt was Special Needs, and the State kept trying to take her from my GPs to institutionalize her.  My farmer Grandfather insisted, no, he could do a better job of it.  The state finally demanded, "Look, no teaching cert, no soap.  Hand her over."  So he said "Is that your final argument?"  "Yeah.  Pack her bags we're leaving."  He said "OK, first let me show you something."  He went to his bureau and pulled from a drawer his teaching certificate.  He had earned it years before when he got his degree, but had decided to farm instead.  He'd kept the cert all those years, and the State was forced to honor it, and leave my Mom's family alone.

Twitter Founder Announces Strict New Thought Police Rules



Quote
In a series of tweets on Friday, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey laid out vague reasoning for implementing some new rules governing content.

    1/ We see voices being silenced on Twitter every day. We’ve been working to counteract this for the past 2 years.
    — jack (@jack) October 14, 2017

That's a bit ironic, given that it's usually Twitter that's doing the silencing.



Quote
Twitter has a history of unevenly applying rules. People on the left can tweet the most vile things without being suspended, while conservatives often seem to be singled out.

Early last year, Twitter announced the formation of a "Trust and Safety Council" to monitor abuse. The council has many very liberal groups as members, and no conservative groups. That rather skews what is viewed as offensive.

My agreeing with this true statement: I would question the wisdom of establishing government by emotional polarization based on a personality, did not warrant your self-defensive, and at the same time witheringly personal attack on those who disagree with you, response.

I assume you also would question the wisdom of establishing government by emotional polarization based on a personality.

So I assume you would agree with my "Nope."

And thus, your trying to pick yet another fight with me, is totally unnecessary.

Peace.   :beer:

@musiclady  No, I am not trying to pick a fight with you and I'm actually sorry that I was confrontive the very first time I challenged you.

Obviously, we have different opinions, but you are a nice lady and one I don't want to fight with.

So, yeah, peace and beer.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Wow.  Great story.  This tyranny by the education folks is one reason I am so glad Trump appointed Betsy DeVos.  The left absolutely despises her.
