When you listen to the quality of character that existed at the time of the founding of this nation, you can see how far those who involve themselves in Government, as well as the media, have fallen.
It is a known fact that the education system, including the study of history, has been taken over by the progressives. The exception may be some private, religious, or home schools, but definitely history through public education, as well as at the university level, has been taken over by marxist forces or some kind of “progressive”, secular force.
What is the option? The option is to homeschool through The Ron Paul Curriculum. This is not only a fine education, but it also prepares the student to work independently. It also gives the student a chance to learn about running his or her own business (this is in the higher grades). It also teaches how to get a college degree economically.
If you are struggling, looking for a good solution for education, take some time and really study their website and what they have to offer. At the very least, you will come away enriched for having spent some time at the site.

Merit vs Mediocrity
As you near the end of your home school high school years and think about what is next, you want to focus on education that will help you be the best you can be, not just slid along.
In today’s political world, there is the tendency to “let everyone win” or “pass” regardless of ability.
There are reasons why this is not good.
Not everyone is going to be good at everything. Not everyone will get the same grade. It is good to let natural talent and hard work rise to the top in any profession instead of treating everyone the same.
People, professionals that we rely on…airplane pilots, doctors, dentist, lab professionals, plumbers, electricians, architects, construction managers, mechanics, cooks, sanitation professionals, lifeguards, childcare workers, teachers, parents…whatever the field, we want a professional or someone who knows how to do their job well and in an excellent. We don’t want hire or pay someone or rely on someone to do a job we need to be done who doesn’t know what they are doing but who “passed anyway” because the school believed that equity …everyone getting the same result, or mediocrity…everyone passing…is a the way to go.
You don’t want to be that person in that system. For one thing, if you are hired to do a job for which you have no knowledge or talent, you could get yourself in a heap of trouble if the job turns out poorly. People and property could be injured or worse.
Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t go into the wrong field. Believe in Jesus, ask Jesus into your heart, be born again, and ask God for direction in life. Become the best you can be in whatever field you choose. Use your talents well. Don’t be mediocre.

How to Set a Goal Successfully
Goal setting and planning are the two essential factors to get the results you desire. Making up your mind is the primary step when you want to achieve something. You may work hard throughout the day, but if you do not have the focus, that end goal, all your hard work goes to waste. Even though you can find many resources over the Internet on how to set a goal, but it is personal experience that teaches you better than any books or resources. However, here are some general tips on how to set a goal that will help you to some extent.
First, you have to be an optimistic person to achieve your goal. You have to hope for the positive and keep faith in youself. If you have any doubts, write them down in a piece of paper and try to come to a solution. If you cannot find the solution yourself, then take help of close ones or those who have expertise in the niche.
Second, you have to visualize your wanting. Visualizations can instill confidence in youself and only then you will have the “Go and Get it” attitude. Visualizations bring you closer to your wanting. You also need to visualize your steps in order to get the desired results. Analyze the risks involved in the tasks as well as the benefits involved. You must know the ratio between the benefit and risk.
Third, jot down your goals on a piece of paper. You must write both your short-term goals as well as long-term goals. For example, if you want to complete a certain task tomorrow, write that down and write the goal you have set after a year. Write everything in a proper table format. A haphazard writing will make you more confused in your daily life and you will end up diverted from your goal. Therefore, write down everything neatly so that anyone can understand by just looking at it.
Finally, take action. Only if you set the goal without taking any action, it leads nowhere. Hence, take the actions that will make you reach closer towards your goal. Think positively and take positive steps. However, before taking any step, analyze the situation once again as to whether that step is appropriate or not.
To top it all, enjoy the work you do while reaching towards your goal. That way you will not feel the pressure and even reach your goal happily.
