Homeschoolers on the Horizon of America’s Future

I’M STAYING WITH A HOMESCHOOL FAMILY,

AND IT’S LIKE LOOKING BACK IN TIME

WHAT AN AMAZING WORLD!

Traditional virtues are taught. Reading, writing and arithmetic are amplified with stories of early American pioneers, lessons from Creation Science research, Bible lessons, and more.

American Geography lessons are highlighted by family adventures across our nation. Arithmetic lessons apply geometry to daily projects, and animal husbandry is a by-product of farm life.

School work is interspersed with a list of chores as the children care for livestock, join in with cooking, cleaning, and house construction. Yes, house construction!

One eager boy spends his breaks testing out the new fishing tackle which he bought at an estate sale. He visits a nearby slough, and brings home stories of fish varieties, tadpoles, and whatever else he observes there.

Another group of homeschooled children shows up some days, to help with house construction. I watched them skillfully re-enact the skills their father is teaching them. The conversations between the children include descriptions of their parents’ businesses, and comments about the efficacy of certain decisions.

When a midafternoon storm blew across their farm, the older son moved without hesitating. He urged his brother to help him carry in boards which he had painted earlier, protecting the paint job from blowing sand.

My days include transporting children to events such as volleyball and football games and practices. I even watched the oldest child practice his skills in a cutting horse competition.

This afternoon after taking a nap, I went to the kitchen to fix something for them to eat, but it had already been prepared and eaten.

FAMILIES LIKE THESE QUIETLY PREPARE FOR THEIR FUTURES

I imagine that these, or similar events, can be observed in thousands of homes across America, as homeschool families quietly continue to build our beloved country.

I admire the courage of the young parents who have committed themselves to the job of raising families amid perilous times, with little worry from the world outside.

Families like these promise an amazing future.
