A homeschooling parent of a top Trump legal advisor responds to recent criticism of homeschooling.
with John Stossel, Dr. Rebell said,"There is no guarantee that kids are learning democratic values [and] learning civic knowledge." He further stated that civics is a part of a standard public school curriculum. Stossel then questioned whether students are actually learning and absorbing the material just because it's in a curriculum and provided examples of civics test questions posed to public school students where a large majority answered incorrectly.
All three of our children know extensively about civics and how our local, state and federal governments work—and they are all active civic participants themselves. Rather than just talking about elections and voting, we held mock elections with them and they went with us to the actual polls to see first-hand what voting was about. Jenna and my oldest son both worked on a U.S.
Are my children just unusually advanced? Of course, I think they're the best kids on the planet; but no, it's that homeschooling allowed them to learn all the core subjects while also having the time and flexibility to pursue their interests and actually discover civics—not just learn about it in a classroom. Just as for public schools, there are good and better homeschools.
