Ron Paul Launches Homeschool Curriculum to Teach Biblical Principles to K-12 Students
Awesome idea for those inclined to find a better way to do things-
“Former Texas Congressman Ron Paul will roll out his homeschool curriculum on Sept. 2 that is free for students in kindergarten through the fifth grade and will “teach the biblical principle of self-government and personal responsibility.”
“Gary North, director of the Ron Paul Curriculum, said he and the three-time presidential candidate believe there’s a “tremendous need” for a homeschool curriculum that offers a history of liberty, as well as liberty’s rivals; a thorough understanding of the Austrian school of economics; and a program that is based on primary sourced documents, as opposed to textbooks, which “dumb down the material.”
“In the introductory video, North explains that the curriculum will include a series of online lectures and reading assignments that allow students to work at their own pace, and will also foster an environment where students can teach each other about learned concepts. The curriculum, for which there are no textbooks, does require students to write a weekly essay starting in the fifth grade. North also noted that unlike traditional school environments, the Ron Paul Curriculum doesn’t include “busy work,” and it doesn’t “waste the students’ time.”
