Public vs Private vs Homeschool Outcomes for Students

Research consistently indicates that students from private and homeschool backgrounds often achieve higher academic and long-term life outcomes compared to their public school counterparts.

Private Schools: A long-term study by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found that students who attended private school in 8th grade were twice as likely to have completed a bachelor’s degree by their mid-20s compared to public school students (52% vs.… read more “Public vs Private vs Homeschool Outcomes for Students”

Democracy fails without trust

Democracy will fail without elections everyone can trust. Each citizen should get only one vote and no one who is dead, a criminal, or not a citizen should get a vote. Elections should be transparent and easy to check that. This is why the SAVE Act is so important to have passed – it requires photo ID, just like buying a beer or getting a job.

There is a consistent positive correlation where higher levels of economic freedom (lower government intervention, stronger property rights, and open markets) correspond to higher average incomes. Iconic capitalist hubs like Singapore and Switzerland maintain some of the highest standards of living globally ($90k–$150k+ PPP), while modern states with heavy socialist policies or state control, like Venezuela, have seen significant economic declines ($8k PPP or lower).

End Factory Learning, Return Choice to Families

Industrialization didn’t just change how we make things. It changed how we make people.

For most of history, families worked together. The farm was a school; the shop was a home. Then we invented the factory. To make the factory work, we needed the parents on the assembly line and the children in a holding pen.… read more “End Factory Learning, Return Choice to Families”
