HERE’S WHY AMERICA HAS A HOME-SCHOOLING REVOLUTION: It gets little media coverage, but the reality is that millions of American parents have given up on the public education system and joined the home-schooling movement.

But there is so much more to the reason home-schooling is exploding, including the fact the on-going failure of the public schools is entirely predictable if you know the European roots of public education. Shawn Ryan’s latest podcast features Leigh and Robert Bortins, the principals of Classical Conversations, a hub of the movement and a global homeschooling program rooted in classical, Christian education.

The bottom line is most public school graduate have little or no reading or basic math skills, they know nothing about the American Revolution or the principles underlying the Constitution, and forget about them making a logical argument. Be forewarned that Ryan’s conversation with the Bortins is three-hours long, but is worth every minute of it.
