For any parent uneasy about putting their children in the current schooling system. Laurette Lynn's “Don't Do Drugs, Stay Out Of School” is a must read. It lays out what is wrong with the current system, debunks the common concerns voiced about home educating and encourages readers that, Yes, anyone can do home education.
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, this book will at least get folks especially parents of young children to pause and think it through before automatically putting their kids through the public school system. This book is definitely a very good primer for explaining what is inherently wrong with our current system. We are definitely living in a time when homeschooling is becoming a better and better option. I'm also starting to see many other type of alternatives starting to pop up more and more. I would highly recommend this book to any parent. It is yet another good case for changing the paradigm of education. Kudos Laurette!
ReplyDeleteThe book was very interesting and was very much in line with my own experiences from the school system (although I went to public school in Sweden). There were pieces of the book that seemed a little too anti-capitalist and even conspiratorial in places but overall I recommend reading this book to anyone interested in alternative educational forms.
ReplyDeleteLOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK. Couldn't read it fast enough to give to my daughter who is doing a fantastic job raising my 17-month grandson. Despite my own horrific mothering based on judeo-christian values - complete with spankings due to biblical demands that my kids should "obey" me, my daughter has so far managed to break the cycle of violence and loves her child in an ultra-respectful way. I hope she will delve into Laurette's teachings to further her wonderful mothering. If more moms adopted Laurette's teachings, we might begin to exponentially unleash our human potential for peace, love, and prosperity - not just in America, but WORLDWIDE! Great job, Laurette, and great interview with Stefan (the first one - cause I haven't seen the others.)

A mutual inspiration, my friend, I do concur. Laurette, I couldn't have said it better myself. This book is an EPIC one. An eye-opening, impressively great piece of work. Best words put on paper regarding home education EVER. Real life is what it's all about & everyone should know it. People should read this, home educating or not. Our children deserve SO MUCH MORE than society claims. I wish I had millions of copies to give to everyone & anyone I meet. Thank you for putting it in black & white, literally.
ReplyDeleteWhy, in our culture today, is it acceptable and normal for parents to unquestioningly enroll their children in a school at a certain age? Laurette Lynn challenges status-quo thinking by encouraging readers to back up, consider all options with regard to education, and then proceed in a manner that is most natural and beneficial for their children. Don’t Do Drugs Stay Out of School presents the historical context for our culture’s modern-day school model, promotes the idea that parents reject group-thinking and embrace their individuality, and then encourages parents to act in the best interest of their own children. It’s an intellectual "shot in the arm" for anyone considering educating their children independent of the state apparatus.
ReplyDeleteIf one stops to consider the tremendous advances mankind has made in the areas of communications and transportation, it is easy to assume that we are limited only by our imaginations. This, however, is not the case; we are truly only limited by those who rule over us.
ReplyDeleteMy interest in social and political thought centers on if we have a need to be ruled. While we advance in some areas, technology is a good example, government over the last 500 years has not advanced in any way, and I would even suggest it has regressed.
The process of moving away from a society where we are ruled by an elite few must start now. That process must start with the education of our children. How can we trust the education of our children to people who cannot balance a check book? In her book “Don’t Do Drugs Stay Out of School”, Laurette Lynn has provided us with a clear and concise method in which to achieve this result.
The methodologies are articulate, and will be easily implemented by those who accept and understand the value.
The significance of this book is compounded by the fact that the same approach could be used to liberate ourselves from many of the other, out of date, no longer useful, government institutions.
Well done Laurette!
I strongly recommend it for anyone with a sincere interest in parenting and education. It is so easy to let yourself and your children slip-stream into the mechanics of modern society without questioning the history, purpose and end results of it's institutions. Don't Do Drugs and Stay Out of School is a well-written and quick read.
ReplyDeleteReally nice work Laurette! Thank you. I wish I had read this book 15 years ago!
