📚 Monday Myth or Fact: Homeschooling Edition 🏡

🎓 Unlocking the Truth: Homeschooled Students Thrive in College Admissions 📚

🤔 Myth: "Homeschooled children struggle with college admissions."⁣

💡 Fact: Let's dive into the statistics from NHERI (National Home Education Research Institute) and discover the incredible success of homeschooled students!⁣

👉 Did you know that homeschooled students consistently outperform their traditionally schooled counterparts? 🌟

💡 Homeschoolers also tend to have higher GPAs in college, demonstrating their strong academic preparation and work ethic. 💪⁣

✅ According to NHERI, homeschoolers often achieve higher standardized test scores, with an average 15 to 30 percentile points higher than national public school average! 📊

✅ Not only that, but homeschooled students also graduate college at a higher rate, with a whopping 66.7% completing a bachelor's degree compared to 57.5% of traditionally schooled students! 🎉

✅ Colleges nationwide recognize the unique qualities homeschoolers bring to campus: independence, self-motivation, and a love of learning.

🔧 While college is not the only path to success, we are passionate about empowering our students with the tools they need to excel in trade and vocational careers. That's why we're here to champion the power of hands-on learning and practical skills development. 💪

💡 From carpentry to culinary arts, plumbing to programming, there's a fulfilling and rewarding career waiting for students with the right skills. 🔨

🎒✨⁣So, let's dispel this myth once and for all! Homeschooling provides an environment where creativity, critical thinking, and personalized learning thrive – setting up our future leaders for success.

🔔 Share your own homeschooling success story using , and let's inspire others to embrace the power of homeschooling! Together, we can reshape education paradigms. 💪💡⁣

‼️Join us Sunday, Oct 22, from 3-5 PM at 838 W. Marquette Rd. Rom 209. ‼️

✅ Our taxes are increasing while our children's reading and math levels are decreasing. The system is failing our children; they’re being dumbed down! 🤦🏽‍♀️😞

✅ Parents do not send their children to school to learn about gender identity, sexual orientation, ma********on, or how to change their gender or consent to sexual activities. 🚫🙅🏽‍♀️

✅ The issue of illegal migration further exacerbates these problems, putting additional strain on our already struggling households and placing an excessive tax burden on our communities. 🚫🙅🏽‍♀️
