Elon Musk is about to be the first Trillionaire, but he is poor where it matters most.
Multiple kids, from multiple wives.
He barely knows any of them.
The is true poverty.
The average Homeschooler is richer than Elon where it matters.
K-12 public schools spend $17,280 per pupil.
Homeschooling costs about $1000/year.
Only about 33% of public school students are literate.
About 99% of homeschoolers are literate.
Incredible.
You get 18 summers. Then they're visiting.
You get 940 weekends. Then they have their own.
You get 6,570 bedtimes. Then silence.
Time is the only real currency of parenthood. Spend it wisely.
You can't earn more.
What if homeschooling is about giving children their childhood back? Not about test scores. About letting a 7-year-old spend an hour watching ants build a colony. About baking bread with mom.
The school system stole childhood. We're taking it back.
Before homeschooling:
3pm - Pick up exhausted child
4pm - Fight about homework
5pm - Rushed dinner
6pm - More homework battles
7pm - Screens until bed
After homeschooling: Done by noon
Afternoons are for LIVING
Wild how we convinced ourselves that putting 30 kids the same age in a room with one adult and forcing them to sit still for 7 hours is "normal" and that learning at the kitchen table with your mom who actually loves you is "alternative education"
My wife taught PE in a title 1 school.
One day, the district called every PE teacher in to tell them some news.
They had applied for & won a grant from the federal government.
What happened next would motivate her to homeschool her future children.

Uncomfortable fact:
The average homeschooled 9-year-old reads better than the average public school 12-year-old.
But parents still worry homeschooling will "hold their kids back."
The system convinced you that you need the system.
You don't.
Wow! I couldn't believe it, my phone was blowing up.
Pete Hegseth, the nominated Secretary of Defence, discusses what parents must do with their children right now!
You'll be surprised by what he thinks about classical education!
