Dear Debater,

Could you be so kind as to enter this question for debate?


Resolved

THAT THOSE WHO RECEIVE STATE (TAX PAYER) SUBSIDIZED FUNDS BE REQUIRED TO MAKE THEIR CHILDREN AVAILABLE FOR STATE APPROVED EDUCATION?

When debating this question let us remember that the abilities and skills to survive and excel in this test of life are forever ingrained in us by our parents and educators. What is instilled in a child, be it right or wrong, becomes a permanent and lasting part of one’s being. That no matter the direction life may take, make no mistake, one’s childhood mind-set follows him/her throughout life, providing confidence or allowing doubt in every move because of the quality of education and rearing, both parental and scholastic.

Let this debate serve as an informative tool for our officials holding office that they may take a closer look at the laws governing or not governing the quality of home based education and the detrimental effect of inadequate basic standards for such education.

My articles and mission on this subject may be viewed in it’s entirety on my personal site http://www.LifesUltimateTest.com . I also have a video titled “ Ramifications of Homeschooling” at http://www.youtube.com/Dorisanne13 .

Thank you,
Doris Anne Beaulieu

Doris: I looked over your materials and got the impression that you are for increased regulation of home schooling families because you feel the experience is not preparing some children for real life when they get older. Is that correct?

The problem I see with government intervening in that process is that, while it may be true the experience does not prepare some kids for life well, it still is the responsibility of the family to prepare their children for the realitis of life. It is not the responsibility of government. While education is (to some degree) the responsibility of government - I believe local only - preparing my children for life is really my responsibility. Whether I do a good job or not, it remains mine as a parent. The Bible and history itself point out that fact very clearly, in my opinion.
