That just sounded like a great title.
An old buddy of mine is up pretty high in the grade school programs in Iowa.
He has pictures I have sent on some of the homeschool training our kids have been doing. He has pics of my jungle expeditions too, I did a presentation at his school on that some years ago.
Anyway he said they were "a bit in awe" and very excited to have the kids do a power point for a now growing number of classes. It has to be an auditorium now.
Everything the kids do is going to be exciting for the boys especially. But it is all either illegal or sanctioned.
Our school shooter policy is that the kids are tied with each other at a 93.3% kill shot percentage at 50 feet. Ruger 10-22 with 15 round clip. They do the fire team drills in the US Army infantry handbook.
If you survey the boys, it is going to be near 100% will want to do that instead of cowering in the back of a classroom. They will also want to pound nails, split wood, and play demolition derby with a 4wd truck armed with welded pipe bumpers.
The upshot of their training is that they are treated as mini-adults. They were so far ahead academically by 3rd grade they needed training in professional skills that pay good money.
Around here that is being a woodsman. They are worth about $300 a day together now with a chain saw, axe, machete and the truck. They can drive directly off the property into the wilderness on trails we made ourselves, and collect a load of wood. One ton.
So the eight year old would be in 3rd grade now, he's the lead man you want on that job. To be so productive, to understand as contractors they are already worth hundreds a day - you should hear them talking. They understand this means they can buy their own land. They are already learning construction from knocking in roads all the way through the roof cap. They've worked with me sinking a 300 foot well at 20 below zero.
We have a really good plan for the construction contractor apprentice. He is going to file a mining claim. Gravel. There is no law that can stop him from operating bulldozers and excavators, dump trucks and etc. on his own property.
A mining claim is the private property of whoever has filed it. We have work to do locating the most viable claim, but we are pretty busy with fish farming right now.
We have pictures of that kid in a big loader, filling a 10 yard dump truck. Kids can do just about anything and it is an inspiration to these grade schoolers to think outside the confines of government school where they are infantilized.
The 9 year old will have had more math than any of the teachers. He has had calculus through integration. Algebra. Intro to trigonometry, fractal geometry, regression analysis, he just chews up whatever you give him.
He is not genius IQ by birth, but rather his parents did not have to hold him back, to hobble him and frustrate his natural curiousity because "no child left behind" means "no child gets ahead". He was doing trig when I said look, just take a break from math and do this rock and roll drumming thing for a while. I am burned out teaching math. Lets play music together. They agreed to that proposal, lol.
They are almost completely self-directed learning now. I just tell them to do school and anything with personal development is fine with me. They do art a lot more than I did and wow, are they WAY better than I ever was. Better at me than art. Their own decision, they just like art and always have the option of doing it.
They can drive vehicles, operate equipment, lumberjack and log (they make market rate by the cord $), art, music, whatever.
I think the bottom line is that we don't live in a free country and especially for kids there are a hundred reasons why they should not handle lighters or matches, etc. but the more logical approach is to teach them safe use of these potentially life-saving tools/devices.
I had them read a couple of different authors who toured America in the 1800's and wrote about the young men, what made America so remarkable.
By 8 or at the latest 12 years old the boys took on apprenticeships . Mostly in their father's trade and that is where you got the really young apprentices like ours...
Benjamine Franklin took on an apprenticeship at 12, and the kids understand the contract the parents sign. The master has to educate them through reading, writing, and arithmetic as part of the apprenticeship. But it is the paying trade that is the focus of the training.
The apprentice has room and board, a small stipend for personal items, and must be diligent in assisting the master. By 15 years of age an apprentice can be a journeyman. That means he can go anywhere and practice his trade as a contractor not wage laborer.
If you trained in shoes, you made people shoes. You did not work for a wage. A house carpenter made a house for a contract fee, not an hourly wage from someone else.
By age 21 they were so well established they could make a family of six or eight children and by age 25 be on the town council. New towns were sprouting up and young folk had to take charge, there was no town before and towns need councilmen.
By Catholic law, if you want to go full-on old school here, is that by age 9 you were responsible for your actions just like an adult. You could receive sentence, to prison.
We heard it all the time, only on the internet though, that we were "ruining their childhood" and "pushing too hard" or doing things "before they are ready". We were actually raided by child protective services for "teaching walking too early".
So now, professionals in elementary schools can be in awe of kids who are treated like mini-adults.
They tell us how happy they are, how grateful they aren't going to the retard factory. And the kids who see what they are doing will almost universally thrill at it.
But of course, it is all illegal to do in their government schools. So hopefully sharing this will at least be a small drop in the ocean of education, and maybe even a tiny ripple beyond our own home.
