[quote author=535D4458410606070F370 link=1233396606/10#10 date=1266023187][quote author=76717C6D7A7B767D737A1F0 link=1233396606/2#2 date=1235780072]The home schooling convention in my city has rejected my attempt at BUYING an exhibition station for this April. After visiting the PACinLaw site, they said it was not of interest to their participants. We have a long way to go.[/quote] Your experience neither surprises nor annoys me. By virtue of experience here's how I see it: The substance here is "The Home Schooling Convention". Once again, in our efforts to deal with USA, Inc by exodus from their educational system and any other corrupt institution, we start our own "Systems" that run parallel to theirs, sprinkle a little "holy water" on them (if you get my metaphor) and go on to do the same things the nasties we've abandoned are doing. Those who home school, then, by submitting the administration of their home schools to the HS Convention, have merely started dancing with a "new (and hopefully improved)" partner, but to the same arbitrary jive. [highlight][i]I hasten to point out that this is the method of most all Patriot Panhandling Perpetrators operating in disguises of freedom restoration for personal recognition and fiduciary gain.[/i] This is the antithesis of People's Awareness Coalition and it must be so portended! (And yes, the “!” at the end means I’m screaming.)[/highlight] In the 80's, while pastoring a church in a little rural town south of Houston, we (wife and I) had a "one room school" for all grades in our facilities, only for members who attended and supported our church with their involvement and commitment to Kingdom principles. No tuition, buy your own books. And if the parents did not administrate their children's education, leaving them to us, we asked them to kindly withdraw their students and put them in another "System" that practices such dictatorship, of which there was abundance, between private and public indoctrination centers in and around town. There we were successfully living out our values for a peaceful and obedient life on behalf of community, when a man and his wife in north Houston, with whom I had attended Cemetery (Seminary), asked me to assist him with home schooling his children. By the next school year, that little spark of a single request ignited a fire (metaphorically again) that spread in around our church to over 125 families, assisting them in their Biblical mandate to "train up [highlight] their [own] children[/highlight] in the way that they should go." Unlike the likes of established "governmental" type Home School Associations and their conventions, we simply offered to: 1. Administrate diagnostic testing per child to appraise their level of comprehension per subject discipline; 2. Prescribe accordingly the grade level of curriculum by subject for each individual; 3. Recommend philosophically safe curriculum suppliers from which to choose; 4. Order their choice of curricula at wholesale discounts since we had school accounts with suppliers; 5. Deliver the curricula and receive payment for the invoice sent us by the supplier without mark up; 6. Offer consultation and tutoring to individuals in need, without imposing administrative authority; 7. Organize and schedule field trips and sporting/PE activities for families to come together as community; 8. Keep grade records and prepare cumulative transcripts for each child in each family. The only "charge" we extended was for the invoice cost of curricula and shipping charges to our facilities. We did not charge tuitions, but told them we would gratefully receive their contributions as they were able and willing. It's called Biblically sound "public service", something notably alien to the man-made governments of the world. People came in from the streets and donated furnishings, cash, instruments, computers, et.al. Families contributed beyond what we could have ever expected from tuition and textbook mark ups. At the end of each school year we deposited all contributions left over and unused to the church general fund, typically in the thousands of dollars. We had neither issues nor conflicts with families because we did not exercise authority over them, nor did we ever "tax" (charge) them for services and "benefits" rendered. We did not manage or regulate what we extended to them in services, and they did not manage or regulate us with regard to contributions made. The only battles were with state agencies wanting to come in and screw up what was working well without their licenses and certifications. They never prevailed because we treated them respectfully and refused to bow to their demands without their proof of jurisdiction, which they never returned to provide. [highlight]George, may agencies and authorities, conventions and congresses, dictators and fearmongers burn in hell. While I appreciate mass marketing efforts made to organizations, which can prove to be successful by virtue of volume, the way to do this is one on one. Slowly and surely, step by step, inch by inch, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little.[/highlight] Having just this week been delivered from the servitude of managing a local Walmart Customer Service Department, thus having broken away from corporate entrapment, I have put my aged, skinny, cottage cheese looking glutus maximus on the line. I am just now laying groundwork to do as follows in the greater Houston area: Contact [i]individual[/i] families, offering tutoring by contributions (if able but not contingent), offering curriculum recommendations (at wholesale invoice costs), offering The Red Amendment as a vital supplement to history and government disciplines for Jr and Sr High School students. I have also barely begun, but intend to conquer the writing of a workbook supplement for The Red Amendment. The workbook has a trilogy of purpose: a) A home schoolers text workbook; b) for use at workshops and seminars (condensed version); and c) for use in ongoing community group studies whether in our homes, churches, or other suitable public facilities. So you see, we may not really have that far to go. We just need to keep walking and seize each opportunity, laying aside the tired old conventional gods of this world methods, thinking outside the box. [highlight]As God said to Moses when he (Moses) attempted to turn down His (God's) offer of a career opportunity to be the President of the Deliverance of Israel Enterprise, [i]"What's that in your hand [staff]...throw it down [snake]...now pick it up again [staff again]...any more questions or comments? Don't mess with raw universal power...it's not your place...just do what I say and no one except Pharaoh and his lesser gods will get hurt! Now go do the right thing."[/i][/highlight] [b]Disclaimer[/b]: Obviously, I put a little of my own stink on that dialog between God and Moses, but I bet I'm essentially close. And for the sensitively pious, I meant no sacrilege; just send me $50 and I'll forgive you for taking offense. God's sense of humor is abundantly evident through observance of the people He created, yes? If sacrilege induces His wrath, then we’re all in trouble for the way we have chosen to live our lives under the gods many we have elected. Thanks for your posting...you really pulled my chain.
