School choice: Why I wanted to be homeschooled (yet still support children's rights)

I am a believer in school choice. Why? Our schools suck in America, meaning learning should be fun for children, not a chore and a pain. Most children in securely attached homes like ours hate school, due to the wrath of teachers, which they bear the brunt of and keep their counsel until they return home to parents, where they might oftentimes cry the day out. I was different. I wasn't listened to, so I simply demanded it. I should have been homeschooled. Why? I have autism, so exclude me from a group learning environment, since I can't work in a group.

I only have 1-on-1 ability to converse, meaning I cannot talk to 3 people at once. In high school, after being medicated for bipolar disorder, all this meant was that I fell silent in the group. In elementary and middle school, it was even worse. I'd get distracted, and I'd refuse to do work, and then be a child self-advocate before my time. I just wonder now why I wasted my breath with such people, who thought peanut butter and jelly lunches as lunch detention was logical consequences and not punishment, meaning they never argued that it wasn't punishment. I am opposed to detention as a form of school discipline, especially lunch detention, as these are shaming policies. For a public school, give them many warnings, then send them on their merry way. Homebound. If they are that disruptive, just warn them a few times that if they keep it up, they will be removed from the school roster and expelled from school, with appeals to the school board, usually aided by a parent. In Iceland, I would have been kicked out of school, and then I would have gotten what I wanted anyway...Homeschool instruction. 

In most European countries, "homeschool" means behavioral issues, usually a child that is self-centric and isn't sociable, meaning autistic and bipolar usually, having the same co-morbid disorders I have. They usually like it better when a parent teaches them, meaning familiar faces, familiar people.

Homeschooling is an American tradition that is rooted in the natural laws governing this country. It says in Ephesians 6:1-4 KJV:

Children, obey your children in the Lord. Honor thy father and mother, as this is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live upon the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

The Greek root word translated "obey" is υπακουο (Latin: hupakouo) and refers to secure, vulnerable rest in the love and grace of parents, including towards fathers in the form of a casual friendship. It was, however, not unquestioning submission, but questioning submission to fathers especially. The Greek root word translated "nurture" is παιδεία (Latin: paideia) and refers on the surface to the exemplary teaching of young children in Christian morals and good habits, but at a second glance leading to submission to being a homeschool student, meaning talking about theological and academic topics around children, with them then asking questions about such topics, following their natural curiosity. The responsibility of fathers especially, when getting questions about religious or other academic topic, was either to answer the question directly, or answer with another question that got children to think, then availing them to do their own research. Think bookcase. Think globe. Those were the types of people that were Christians. Think farmland, but with a self-educated twist. Certain academic knowledge was passed down orally from father to son, or father to daughter in rare cases where she wanted to be a elder or deacon of some sort in the church community. 

Homeschooling, however, comes with its risks. I don't blame the homeschool, but the parents abusing the system. The Greek root word in vs. 4 translated "provoke...to wrath" is παροργιζο (Latin: parorgizo) and refers to the moral count of provocation of anger in one's neighbor, meaning the slightest of personal offense perceived by the child, stemming from parental entitlement, with parental entitlement being denoted by the Greek root word πλεονέκτης (Latin: pleonektés) and refers here to wanting things from a child, or wanting a child to do things, to the point of seeking to impose said want onto a child. This means that homeschool parents should not use the system to hide abuse, and I support home monitoring for every parent who is homeschooled, which can be done electronically in most all of cases, as there is an eye in every monitor, meaning computer monitor that is. Same with your TV and your phones, both landline and cell. You are being watched, and if you misuse a valid system in place since this country was founded, goodbye forever.

Unschooling is the closest you can get to the biblical context in terms of homeschooling options, due to the fact that biblical homeschools relied heavily on the natural curiosity of a child, but largely through agreed upon reading challenges between fathers and children. Here in Pennsylvania, like many other states, unschooling is banned, but the least restrictive homeschool environment is best for some students, but not all. With some forms of autism, homeschooling is necessary because they don't want to be social, yet they want to learn. They tend to be the types who feel the brunt of social skills deficits when navigating autism resources in the community as an adult. Such individuals will not benefit from forced socialization, and need one-on-one teaching with a parent who understands them. A child with that form of autism literally cannot communicate many ways. We judge many ways as we get older, but are the silent, listening types in family conversations, or else the type to blurt out disruptive things when not medicated by a mood stabilizer. The least restrictive environment (LRE) here in Pennsylvania is a homeschool setting for many cases of autism, and here, homeschool sessions are supervised by a representative from the local education agency (LEA), usually an IEP teacher. There aren't many options for this special needs homeschooling, nor is it feasible for all families and all autism subtypes. Some with autism instead want friends at school, but need social remediation to understand the cultural nuances of school interaction, with having a safe adult to talk to that isn't punitive, preferably all of them, is also a good bet for some children. Every child is different, and not every child with autism needs homeschooling, as no two individuals with autism are alike, due to the disorder being basically a cluster of genetic traits showing up in a singular person, ultimately leading to the child with autism seeing themselves, in terms of positioning, as the center of the world. That positioning cuts off all contact with the rest of the world, with pedophilia being a form of autism where that singular perception of existence is perceived as with an affinity to children, conflated with sexual drives.

The depraved and entitled parents will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Let them be tormented in the lake of fire and burning sulfur, which is the second death, which is Satan's final resting place! They will descend downward into the abyss, meaning a never ending pit of fire and flames! Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
