Alternatives to Public Schooling Should Not be made Illegal.

Alternatives to Public Schooling Should Not be Made Illegal. I have the Pro position, which means that I will be debating that alternatives to public schooling should remain legal in countries where they are currently allowed. —————————————— Definitions. Alternatives to Public Schooling: Any educational institution, curriculum, opportunity, or education type such as homeschooling and conventional schooling; that is not included in the public school system. This includes on-the-job learning such as internships, but will not include truancy, or staying away from any educational form altogether. Public Schooling: Any educational institution, curriculum, or opportunity, that is either funded by the state (government), and/or controlled by the state. Illegal: Contrary to law, and/or not recognized by the state as legitimate. Special Note: Examples from school systems in other countries may be used; but this argument is revolved around the United States public school system. —Abolishing alternatives to public schooling undermines the liberty of the individual. “You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something that you have charge of.” ~Jim Rohn, Entrepreneur. [1] Ever since man was put on the earth, God has given us the responsibility to take care of ourselves. We have to be responsible to clothe, feed, and shelter ourselves; and others, when they are in need. However, most important out of said responsibilities, God has also given us the responsibility to think for ourselves. We have the responsibility to educate ourselves at a pace that we ourselves are motivated to go at, and to move forward as an individual under the guidance of God. We have seen in history, from Adam and Eve teaching Seth, Abel, and Cain; to homeschooling today, families and the individual have the responsibility to educate ones’ self, and the liberty to be educated in a manner which we may choose. God has given us the liberty of choosing how we are educated. By removing alternatives to public schooling, one is restricting said liberty, by removing the choice and responsibility God has granted you to educate yourself in the ways which you choose. —Abolishing alternatives to public schooling brings educational standards down. The Common Core Standards are being implemented this year in 45 of the 50 States. According to a study by the Concerned Women for America, where they got the information directly from the people who refused to sign said standards; these standards will lower high school mathematics and science down to fifth grade requirements, and will not teach cursive. Not only that, but they will enable schools to keep tabs on students, and send information directly to the federal government on whether or not a child has skipped school to observe religious holidays. [2] Under the condition that alternatives to public schools are abolished, this educational standard will be applied to all Americans, and drag everyone down the grave that we have dug. —Abolishing alternatives to public schooling will deteriorate society. Since its founding, the church has always been seen as a threat to the government as long as it is not controlled by the government. You can see that regularly throughout history, for example the beginning of the church, the Romans would torture and kill early Christians. Later, during the Middle Ages, during the Renaissance, and even today, the government church has persecuted Christians. Whereas the church is used by God, government is used by Satan. Recently, in the American public school system, government has used its influence to promote immoral practices, hand out free contraception, and encourage sexual and immoral practices. Kids in Poland, and other nations occupied by Soviet Russia, were encouraged to have pre-marital sex, so that they would stray away from the church, and towards government. In Nazi Germany, the public school system was used to indoctrinate children into having hatred for God’s chosen people. Public schooling deteriorates the ethics and morality inside of society when the people are subject to the Devil’s corruption through mandatory government control. I apologize for the short and weak argument, this was typed up in a hurry.
