Download or read book Civics for Christian Homeschoolers Volume 2 written by Scott Clifton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civics for Christian Homeschoolers - Volume 2: Citizen of Heaven, Subject on Earth is the second part of a one-semester, sixteen-week Civics course. This book should be used together with Civics for Christian Homeschoolers, Volume 1: The Law. Both volumes work together to stimulate high schoolers into tackling the study of civics in a way that, first, recognizes that the best kind of government provides justice and stays within its proper, moral purpose-to protect the people's life, liberty, and property. But more importantly, Civics for Christian Homeschoolers seeks to help young Christians to think and live like Christians under the government that God has placed them under (or at least allowed them to be under). Included free with these two volumes are... - an answer key to the "Let's Review" and "For Additional Thought" questions at the end of each reading, and - five student quizzes (four regular quizzes and one cumulative final), with answer keys so parents can score them. The reading setup of Civics for Christian Homeschoolers is a four-days-per-week schedule for students in my high school Civics class. Students who aren't in my Civics class can use a modified version of this schedule. For example, parents, you can assign your student to complete that week's four-day reading schedule, then you can use Day 5 to review the answers to those four days of material. (We take quizzes in class, so if your student isn't in my Civics class, just use Day 5 as a quiz day for those weeks that include a quiz.)

Download or read book Civics for Christian Homeschoolers Volume 1 written by Scott Clifton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Law" is the classic, concise, and spirited defense of limited and proper government. In "The Law," author Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) takes on those ever-present elitists, bureaucrats, and other enemies of liberty, and he utterly demolishes their supposed "right" to plunder the people's property and organize their lives. Absorbing the easy-to-grasp principles in this little book will empower the reader to convincingly explain to others what the proper role of government should be. Many of the ideas explained by Bastiat in "The Law" are ones that supporters of limited government intuitively know, but might not have been able to put into words. Students who are studying Civics or Government will enjoy using this version of "The Law," which has been newly paraphrased into modern English. This small volume will empower readers with a clear understanding of our God-given individuality, liberty, and property, and the right we have to use and develop these to the best of our ability.
Download or read book Write These Laws on Your Children written by Robert Kunzman and published by . This book was released on 2010-09-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeschooling is a large and growing phenomenon in American society--between 1999 and 2003 it grew at ten times the rate of public school enrollments. Current estimates suggest that about two million kids are homeschooled, but information about them is incomplete. Here, educator Robert Kunzman uses his unprecedented access to six conservative Christian homeschooling families to explore this elusive world, from the day-to-day lives of its adherents to its broader aspirations to transform American culture and politics. He shows us what their homeschooling experience looks like firsthand, what their political and religious beliefs are, and what their kids learn about democratic citizenship and engaging with people with different beliefs. Woven throughout Kunzman's narrative are larger questions about the purpose of public education, what makes an educated citizenry--and how American political and intellectual life could change as conservative Christian homeschooled children reach adulthood.--From publisher description.

Download or read book Homeschooling the Right written by Heath Brown and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For four decades, the number of conservative parents who homeschool their children has risen. But unlike others who teach at home, conservative homeschool families and organizations have amassed an army of living-room educators ready to defend their right to instruct their children as they wish, free from government intrusion. Through intensive but often hidden organizing, homeschoolers have struck fear into state legislators, laying the foundations for Republican electoral success. In Homeschooling the Right, the political scientist Heath Brown provides a novel analysis of the homeschooling movement and its central role in conservative efforts to shrink the public sector. He traces the aftereffects of the passage of state homeschool policies in the 1980s and the results of ongoing conservative education activism on the broader political landscape, including the campaigns of George W. Bush and the rise of the Tea Party. Brown finds that by opting out of public education services in favor of at-home provision, homeschoolers have furthered conservative goals of reducing the size and influence of government. He applies the theory of policy feedback—how public-policy choices determine subsequent politics—to demonstrate the effects of educational activism for other conservative goals such as gun rights, which are similarly framed as matters of liberty and freedom. Drawing on decades of county data, dozens of original interviews, and original archives of formal and informal homeschool organizations, this book is a groundbreaking investigation of the politics of the conservative homeschooling movement.
