Healing isn't hiding the dirt by sweeping it under a rug.

Healing isn't creating illusions of peace by deceiving a community into thinking all's well.

Healing isn't saying "move on" like the moveon.org deception that was designed to perpetuate the deceit.

Healing can't be achieve without changing the base cause of problems like stitching up an infected wound and placing a skin colored bandage over it. The infection , if not dealt with will just secretly get worst.

Healing isn't persecuting those who try to deal with the infection by painfully cutting out the rotted infected flesh or by protesting or striking their job in the operation room.

Healing can only begin when you bite down on the leather, cut out the rotted flesh, and effectively deal with the infection. Then and only then can healing begin.

Thanks Keith for showing this community that the infection is still here and the flesh keeps rotting a little bit more.

Anybody here willing to start healing ?

If so the Lord is willing to give you the strength and courage to do what it takes.

Peace :)

That should have read:

Healing can only begin when you bite down on the leather,be prepared for the screaming then cut out the rotted flesh, and effectively deal with the infection. Then and only then can healing begin.

The problem isn't intelligence or skills but just the lack self confidence of those who were schooled by a union and government designed to make you dependent on both for an income and not having the self confidence to be free thinkers and do things for themselves. You don't need to be a teacher to home school because home schooling isn't about teaching, it's about learning. To completely different different things. Most teachers have a hard time understanding that and so remains confused and perpetuates their union propaganda and the force feeding of soon to be forgotten data down the unwilling minds of our children. Ever here a teacher say they sometimes feel they are wasting their time ? -that's why- because the force feeding system they teach is basically doing just that and the scores prove it. The ones who understand this usually will quit and home-school their children.

Only the most arrogant of teachers will claim they have some special knowledge and that someone else can't open up a book or curriculum material and understand. A union-government teacher didn't go to school to be experts on the subject they will end-up teaching. Most remember very little and a good percentage ends up teaching subjects out side of there original majors. A union-government teacher earns the degree in how to teach the union-government system not the subject. It's not about academics, which explains the failed performance of the union-government schools vs other forms of education. So since the last thing you would do in home schooling is to teach that system style and in fact you want to teach exactly the opposite , a teaching degree provides nothing and explains why the data shows no measurable different from a highly degreed vs a no degreed parents child's achievement. What the degree does do is it can provides the emotion of confidence just to get one to start. After a parent starts they usually go through the mental adjustment period of trying to forget everything they remember about the union-government failure.

Going to a home-school convention looking around , asking questions and listening to some speaking events will give you more of that emotion of confidence than years and a $100 thousand dollars of debt to the university could ever do..... OOP's did I mention money ? nah...... money has no power to trump principles in society.....no way.   Education industry ? what's that ? You're nuts.... you're just making things up. Are you going to expect me to think their are people who would singularly promote a poorly performing system on everyone's children because of money ?.... What motive could they possible have to design a system to the self confidence from a student to ever be able to teach their own ?.....That's nut.....you must be some kind of conspiracy nut....seen any flying saucers lately?...right........ So what if the colleges make $100,000.00 per student.( $58 Billion nationwide annually)...plus a commission from credit card companies to distribute credit cards, but turns out the lowest level of education.........so what if the teachers union will take $30,000.00 ( $84 Billion nationwide) out of a teachers check over their career and still leaves the wanting in retirement ?......so what if all the others profits $ 1.13 Trillion off of the system that doesn't mean anyone could have any other motive.......right ?........ No one would risk a child's life or deceive parents for just $1.5 Trillion dollars......stop making things up.

So.....you say "if homeschooling provides such a higher rate of character and academic excellence without the ~ $1.5 trillion dollars of the BIG education industry profits taken from parents then why wouldn't all those principled people and leaders do the right thing and teach and promote Homeschooling ?............you just are being clinical about thing you nut........so what if U.S. Department of Education says that between 6 percent and 10 percent of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by school employees and teachers........ my child won't be the one in ten so stop the spreading of this unpublicized information..........no I don't feel funny when teachers call my child a lair............you just must be a very angry person trying to make all of us happy parents upset...........you are just a conspiracy nut. Besides my elected representatives who get over $50 Million per year from big education lobby will make sure my child's interest is number one.........just mind your own business ...there isn't any reason for me to change anything. I love my child and would never think for a second not to trust their lives to the union-government education complex.

I think you should lighten up on Keith. I doubt het gets to write whatever story he wants. My guess is that Mr. Culp has some sayso in his assignments or at least has to approve any story ideas he pursues. R-T please clarify this for us.

Lets see, by the name calling, assumed power and authority and resentment you must have been part of the system I talked about. Please don't take it personal, it's just the system. I won't hold your insults against you.

Peace :)

Ratcatcher: This is a story that Keith suggested because he remembered the incident. I asked him to look it up and do the perspective story. Many of his assignments come from spot news, but we also have meetings most every day in which all reporters have input on story ideas.

Mr. Brian Culp,

I would like to express my deep aggravation over the pop up adds!! As a paid subscriber, I feel this annoyance is unwarranted. Could you please remove them?

Also, can you see about installing a "Block Option" to be utilized toward any blogger from any blogger? That way I can finally eliminate the annoyance named "Liberty" and having to spend time scrolling past his or her ramblings to read another more considerate blogger's post!!!

I will gladly pay more per month if these requests are seriously considered!!

Thanks Brian. I think the story is appropriate since we have heard so many people say, "stuff like this doesn't happen around here" and "this was an isolated incident". This article proves that isn't the case. We all have to wake up and do something before history repeats itself - again. Thanks Keith for bringing that to the forefront.

Rumor has it that the bullying at Martinsville schools is second only to the bullying in the UFC. Wonder where these kids are learning this?

Reading some blogger comments gives me a pretty good clue.
