Beyond Academics – What About Sports?

This blog is a combination of information about home school, as well as other current events topics that relate to school. In today’s world, parents are not just dealing with academics alone. They are dealing with academics plus (+) other topics regarding the children in their care.

Are the academics up to par? Are children being taught transgenderism or communism? Are covid injections or other surgeries going on without parental consent? Today’s world holds many challenges for parents of school age children.

One of the things to consider is what will happen to your child if your child is good in sports, maybe hoping to get an athletic scholarship one day.

Here is an article to consider.

Repost: Christian Colleges

This has been published before but since there are new visitors and the information is still relevant, it is being reposted for those who missed the post the first time round.

 

People attend college to attain particular skills for a future profession.

If you are looking for industry-type professions, you might consider looking at MikeRoweWorks.

Community colleges are a place to gain skills at a lesser cost than a four-year college.

There are two aspects to community colleges.

Some offer graduation in hands-on professions, such as welding, auto mechanics,  and computer graphics.

Some offer the initial lower level courses, also known as the basics or initial courses required for a four-year degree.  If the first two years are taken at a community college, it may be possible to save a lot of money compared to attending all four years at a larger college or university.

It is possible to save money if you have a wise strategy.

For someone planning on ultimately attending a four-year college, by completing the first two years at a community college, it may be possible to save a significant amount of money.

Another strategy to save money is to take dual credit courses in high school.   These courses count towards college credits.

Take dual credit courses in high school.  Take community college courses.  CLEP out where you can.  Mix up the strategies to do as much, get as far as you can concerning the degree you want for as little money as possible.  Some colleges now offer evaluations of life experience that can may turn into a certain number of credit hours.  You have to check with different educational institutions to find out whether they do this or not.    It is worth exploring the different possibilities to find a way that will work for your situation.

CLEP-ing out of tests is a possibility.  There are other tests besides the CLEP test as well.  You need to check with those colleges/universities you are considering to find out the possibilities that they offer.

Some universities offer the ability to create a degree where life experience counts.  You tailor the degree towards gaining the specific extra training you need.

Beyond saving money and getting through a college, it is important to pick the right college or university, not just in terms of a major, but also for character development.

In today’s world,  many secular colleges and universities teach things like marxism or  transgenderism.

If a student ends up in a class like that, or with a teacher of that ilk, it might not be possible to get a passing grade unless the student pleases the teacher with papers that harmonize with the teacher’s philosophy.

Students need to be able to live according to their conscience and not write papers contrary to their conscience.

Here are some Christian Colleges and Universities that offer many different majors.

The school below is a Bible College.  However, it does have partnerships with some four-year schools so it is possible to attend the Bible College, earn some credits, and then finish a four-year degree through certain schools in partnership with the Bible College.  Or, a person may go to the Bible College and then go on into the ministry.  It is important to check out what they have for more details rather than relying on this simple summary.  There are various pathways of study through this school, so check the details.

Something that is newer on the horizon is training through apprenticeships; this is an up-and-coming option. Apprenticeships or on-the-job training have been around before, but seem to be making a comeback.   Since this is something new that seems to be re-emerging, it is necessary to search and see where things currently stand in fields of interest.

The bottom line is that there may be more than one way to get the training you need for the field of work you desire to enter.

Be Sure Your Child Learns Actual Science, Not Politically-Revised Science

Auto-and heterotrophs

We’ve seen the confusion created by common core math.

Now “top down” confusion from political and business leaders (who do not understand or do not want to understand scientific basics) is being presented to the public.  While their scientific understanding may be thin, they have vested interests in the stocks and business performance of their disruptive industries (i.e., destroy oil and gas in favor of profits in green energy industries, whether those industries make sense or not, and force them on the public through executive decrees).  The stakeholders want profits whether the science makes sense or not.  As there are many articles out there on the ineffectiveness of green energies in serious honest publications (not propaganda mouthpieces with no basis in scientific or business realities), that won’t be amplified here.

Business leaders seem “confused” [sic] about the role of carbon in the cycles of life.

Be sure your child understands the basic life cycle between carbon dioxide and oxygen.  Be sure your child is being taught real science, and not a socialist, communist, or politically correct version.

Just as common core is not the best way to learn math, “new” science which does not understand basic principles, and which can’t figure out basics like “what is a man / woman / boy / girl” does not need to be taught to your children.  After all, these things have been known for thousands of years.  We don’t need “leaders” who can’t figure out the basics after thousands of years or who trash the basics in favor of enriching their pocketbooks and increasing their power by political decree and war and using that as a basis for money laundering.

Your common sense is correct.  It is bad science.

As the saying goes, go with your gut.   If you think you are being lied to, there is a good chance you are correct.  Don’t let globalist leaders bowl you over, especially regarding your children and their future.  Your children belong to you, God gave them to you, and God will help you know what to do.

Don’t let them lie to you about the vax.

Children belong in a family patterned after the first family in Genesis … father, mother and children … not to the state.

Does this seem smart in view of the carbon dioxide / oxygen cycle?
