Robinson Self-Teaching Curriculum

More Than A Fighting Chance
We Need Higher Hopes
 
Ten years ago Laurelee and I decided to educate our children in a home school rather than a public school or a private school. The burden of this decision fell most heavily upon Laurelee who took responsibility for the substantial work that we expected this home school to require.

Of special concern to us were the following facts:

  1. The social and religious environment in most schools in America has deteriorated to a level of evil such that it is a threat to the spiritual, moral, and mental health of each child who is forced to participate in it.
  2. The level of political and secular humanist indoctrination in American public schools has risen so high that it is very difficult for any child attending public school to emerge with an understanding of historical and religious truth.
  3. Irrationalism has become the norm throughout American schools. It is therefore very difficult for children who attend those schools to learn how to think rather than to simply believe whatever propaganda is being disseminated at the moment.
  4. The academic quality of most schools has deteriorated to the point that American students are literally the world’s largest group of dunces. In test after test of academic abilities, American students score last in comparison with students from the other twenty or so advanced countries.

Building Heroes Academy

During the summer of 2014, I had this crazy idea.  I was thinking about how wonderful it was to have a co-op that taught my teens leadership and success principles.  They learn about the hero journey, and are surrounded with ideas of greatness  – that they are here on this earth for a purpose, and that they must prepare themselves to be ready to help out others when the opportunities arise.

And that’s when the crazy idea popped in my head.  Why do we wait until the kids are teens?  Why not teach start teaching them these principles when they are young?  Do we wait because we are too busy teaching them the “core” academic subjects?  What if there were a curriculum that incorporated success principles and character while learning core knowledge?  What if I could take all the knowledge I’d gained over the past 15 years of homeschooling and pick out the very best parts to create the “dream curriculum”?

What if I created that?

Ron Paul Curriculum

There are no shortcuts for academic success in college. There are also no shortcuts for preparing for a college prep high school. The study habits required for academic success must be developed early.

If you are looking for a curriculum for your children that will enable them to attain academic success in college, yet which frees up parents from the tasks of creating daily lesson plans and hands-on teaching, this curriculum is for you. To understand how this curriculum works, click here.

This is a college preparation program, but it also teaches students how to start a home business. It is a practical program.

Students learn self-discipline as soon as they learn how to to read. In grade 4, my program becomes 98% self-taught. This habit is basic to survival in college, when students are on their own. They need academic self-reliance to survive.

I have posted some testimonials from parents on the right-hand side of this page. Read them.

My curriculum is non-partisan and non-political. It’s pro-free enterprise and pro-business.
