i have 4, 2 and 4 month old all girls, lately i am thinking about
homeschool strictly bcos of ungodly nature spreading quickly in public
schools, no moral standards etc etc. Can you please guide me, from step 1
like what materials, plans, equipments etc etc. Thank you in advance. May
Yeshuah bless you. Shalom and Peace.
I was going to school, I am now on break. I like your school, you have lots
of stuff to do, like playing, and reading. -Zack 4-1/2 years old
why are they homeschooled
Oh my word! Thank you SO much for taking the time to do this. I have been
struggling with my decision to homeschool or not, and this has made me feel
so much more confident. I have four children all 5 and under (5yr old
twins, 4yr old and 3yr old) and I am due to have another baby here in
August. I have been back and forth with the idea of sending the twins to
school after they finish up with their private pre-k, and my big hang up
was whether I could manage it or not. You’ve opened my eyes that it is not
only possible, but it is SO beneficial. You have a beautiful family! Thank
you for sharing all the info. It’s an overwhelming decision, but now I can
see totally worth it! : )
I loved when your kids were reading. They did a great job.
Please tell me your secret for getting your kids to obey sweetly the first
time. WOW! Love the sense of unity and peace on this video!
can you do a why do you homeschool video
Hi just wondering what kind of blocks you’re using for math and where i can
find them thanks :)
Following this inspirational as well as COOL video. A 13yr old delivering
an interesting speech.
Now There are 795 people in this LME community. I know I don’t need to
address my DDM colleagues because they understand very well what English
mastery is about. Thus, *To all of you who are not DDM members and joined
this community, to all of you who, perhaps, check this out from time to
time and to all of you joining this LME community*
THIS IS WHAT WE BASICALLY LEARN IN DDM: *TO MASTER ENGLISH NATIVE TALK.
INTONATION, RYTHYM; LINKING; CANCELLATION*
This is what English mastery is made from. Of course there’s more to DDM
than pronunciation and speaking. That is CULTURE.
School is important not because you might get taught by actual experienced
and qualified teachers but also because it teaches you your place in
society and how to converse with other people.
how am i gonna get a girlfriend in my house? i dont wanna fuck my sister
thats disgusting.
I highly doubt this kid wrote the script. Not because he is young but
simply because this kid looks like he’d have many friends and homeschooling
basically isolates you with your family, cutting you off from the society
of your age group.
This kid is out of touch with reality. Normally I wouldn’t bother to
correct a 13 year old, afterall, what do they really know about life,
especially a pampered 13 year old living in idyllic Lake Tahoe? The essay
under the video parrots the usual condemnations of the school system as a
rigid structure designed to turn out obedient, conforming worker bees
destined to then serve in large profit oriented companies. How can a
company not be profit oriented? And little does this lad acknowledge that
his family’s income – all the income in Lake Tahoe, comes from a) the
owners and upper management of profit oriented companies and b) many of the
worker bees who make at least middle class wages so they can afford a
budget vacation in Lake Tahoe once in a while, in the summer or winter. So
like a lot of fools (this boy can be forgiven due to his young age) he
condemns the very system that provides him with shelter, clothing, puts
food on his table, and allows his parents to afford his expensive hobby of
skiing! So shameful!
Steve Jobs is mentioned as some sort of hacker genius icon to be emulated.
But do note that the Apple OS has been quite stable because it forbids
hacking, while the Microsoft OS has always been plagued with hack
programming (from other than Microsoft) and that’s why Windows has always
been more crash prone than the Apple OS. With Win XP, Microsoft introduced
a way for the OS to protect itself from badly written programs, hacks, so
that the program could crash without taking down the OS. So in fact it was
Bill Gates and Microsoft that, while not encouraging hacks, at least
protected us from the worst of hacks, and in the process sort of encouraged
hacks.
And if we are talking about education, one might want to educate oneself on
the fact that Apples huge profits came at the expense of poor Chinese
workers at Foxconn, most of whome were worked like slaves, housed in
cramped and dirty dormitories, and some of which suffered poisonings from
industrial chemicals, maimings and even loss of life. Some, too many,
committed suicide due to the harsh conditions. It took Chinese activists,
and some American activists, a long time to get Americans to pay attention
to Apple’s misdeeds. Apple was, in China, like the British East Indian
Trading Company of the 18th & 19th century in India. But what does this lad
know of that, or most of you who have thumbed up this vid? It is said that
about 2/3 of Apple employees are imported from Asia, mostly India. Those
Asian imports studying rigorously in traditional schools settings…the
contradictions and oversights stun me.
So the lad likes to be out in nature…he made fire with a sticks, and now
has a “spiritual” connection with nature. Let’s look at the lives of poor
tribals in Eastern India – they are out in nature all day, except at night
when they sleep in their huts made from locally available materials. A lot
of the tribal kids have been rescued by Samanta Achyuta, who studied hard
in traditional school in India and has built the Kalinga Institute of
Social Sciences (KISS) which houses, clothes, feeds and educates 20,000
tribal kids on one campus, funded by KITT (Kalinga Institute of Trade and
Technology) which Achyuta built up at the same time – a truly stellar, mind
boggling achievement (no government money). So I guess Mr. Achyuta is doing
a bad thing by taking all those tribal kids out of nature and putting them
through a rigourous traditional education. A lot of the kids from KISS go
on to attend KITT and major in computer science, so…..perhaps some KITT
grads now work at Apple!!
I would not be so dismayed if the title of the talk and vid was
“Alternative education paradigms for pampered kids raised in American
vacation hotspots”. The kid says he want’s to start his own company one
day…where does he think the customer’s money comes from? OK, he’s only
13, and an American or Western Prosperous Nation 13 year old does not
understand money or economics. But why has he been encouraged to speak so
authoritatively? Why has TED pandered to this boy? It’s all rather
mind-boggling, and I think a symptom of Western and American energy
intoxication, which causes people to take so much for granted and inflates
their egos to those of Olympian gods, who simply live upon nectar,
oblivious to the affairs of mere humans.
It’s not so surprising that TED would put up this boy to entertain them,
like a dancing monkey – TED is a bunch of energy intoxicated idiots with
the egos of Olympian gods. I do want to assert that all of you “liking”
this vid are also intoxicated idiots.
Im 31 years old but i figured out how soul destroying school was at the age
of 12. I wanted to be home schooled, but that was unheard of back in the
early to mid 90s. Kids like Logan are now finally about to learn on their
own time, and i think its due to 2 things, computers and the internet. I
hated school so much that i didnt realize my full potential. Other kids
called me dumb for being an under achiever, when i simply didnt care to
achieve in an area i had no interest in. Since leaving school and owning a
pc with internet, ive taught myself to be à pro digital artist, something
im good at, earn à living off of, and above all, enjoy.
Wow just wow he is very smart beyond his years. Wow this gave me chills.
Just a inspiring young man. We’ll done!!
Thanks Tony Robbins for sharing this.
that’s pretty dang good for the 13 old kid able to give the good of speech
That’s a boy?
Thought this was a girl certainly looks and sounds like one.
gai trickey hi im a home based educator i started when my eldest child was
born 22yrs ago.i heard of the concept when i was about 10 ,my eldest sister
and her husband were alternative people.it really stuck with me ,that was
40 yrs ago .when we have a child ,even if we improvise with someone
elses,what we want to do is to show and tell them ,what we know and help
find any information we dont know .give yourselves more credit and remember
you have the right to choose the way you educate your children .take back
your power .what is normal about handing your children over to
strangers?you just keep on teaching them as you had from the time they were
born and keep on ..we are all unique beings and hey we never stop learning.
Does anyone know what homeschooling program he use?
My name is logan too 🙂 but I hate homeschooling. I almost killed myself
over it. Homeschooling took away every social experience I could’ve had.
And the worst part? Nobody cares and I’m all alone.
Great speech and such a pretty young girl.
That’s got to be a girl, no offence…
I love this! I want to help implement these values in my 12 year old
daughter’s life! Thanks for sharing..
13 year old Logan quits school and starts home schooling education system –
TED
@Sarahbeth Chazel – I completely agree with you. In fact, I felt far more
uncomfortable and closed off in school, as I felt forced I make friends and
fit in.
Amazing
This kid is my new hero! Rock on, young dude!!!
I tried never to let school get in the way of my education….Mark Twain …
Institutional formal school sole objective is to socially engineer
individuals to think like the hurd, to create the so called human cattle
resource demographic without individuality which is rssponsible for
creativity, artistic abilities and inventiveness, important components for
the future of humans, like getting off this planet, this should be
incentive enough to at least get the ruling class thinking about allowing
economic freedom so we can accelerate the rate of technology, fluoridated
water supply and crappy food is’nt helping….lol at the 666
Very smart boy. (: amazing!
I disagree little man. Being happy, means you need to have things that’s
necessary, like food, shelter and clothing. You will need money to buy
these things. To do that, if you are not Bill Gates, Steve Jobs or Warren
Buffet, you will need to go to college and get a high paying jobs. Don’t
worry about family, agree with u there. U don’t have to if u don’t want.
But if u just saying want to be happy, well, I know what u want to be: a
hippy!!!!!
It’s a good video with very good information , thanks!
