Biden’s Call Upon Congress To Restrict Gun Ownership Is Wrongheaded, Erroneous

President Biden just called on Congress to limit gun ownership, citing the Parkland School shootings as the basis of his rationale; a year ago, I covered that topic via several brief videos wherein Andrew Pollack, father of one of the Parkland shooting victims, investigated the matter, discovering that the real cause of the shootings was very lenient disciplinary strategies, imported to the Parkland school from the Chicago school districts by the Obama administration.

It’s Never Too Late to Homeschool: Epoch Times, Family and Home

First-time homeschoolers tend to get caught up in comparing their children’s progress to that of their school-aged peers—a habit that veteran homeschoolers learn to happily let go. It’s only natural, of course. If you’re worried that your children will “fall behind” if you homeschool, realize that the bar (sadly) has been lowered this year.

Homeschooling More Than Doubles During the Pandemic

Prior to the pandemic and related school closures last spring, there were just under 2 million homeschoolers in the United States, representing about 3.4 percent of the total K-12 school-age population. According to recent polling by Education Week, that percentage has more than doubled to 9 percent this fall, or nearly 5 million homeschoolers. This estimate mirrors related polling from Gallup in August suggesting that 10 percent of U.S. students would be homeschooled this year.
