Choice in Education - Empower Moms - Moms for America

Parents have a fundamental and supreme right protected in the Constitution to guide and direct the education of their children. There are many options from homeschooling to private school that are cost effective and totally achievable and we’re here to help.

Moms for America provides resources, partner links, and mom mentors to help guide you through whatever choice you make in the best interest of your children. In fact, now more than ever, there are many resources available to help you with your curriculum – classical studies that focus on reading, writing, real science, traditional math instruction, and accurate history.

Public School Exit  is a great resource for parents who want to withdraw from the public school systems and are looking for  alternative school options for you and your family.

Where to Start?

There are many supports and resources to help you. We have provided many for you. We recommend the following steps to provide the best opportunities for your children and protection for your family.

Become a member of Homeschool Legal Defense Association (HSLDA). This is an exceptional organization that provides information on homeschool laws in your state and what you need to do to legally homeschool in your state. They also provide legal assistance if you have any issues with the local school or government. HSLDA provides personalized guidance, information, resources, and legal protection. And it’s just $125.00 a year! Imagine, a full legal team at your disposal for $125.00. You can join at hslda.org/join

Register to Homeschool. To protect your family and your children, we strongly recommend you register to homeschool no matter how you plan to teach your children while you strike. This is the best protection against any bullying, intimidation, or legal action the school district or teachers’ unions may try to use against you. Every state is different so you will need to read through the laws for your own state.  HSLDA provides the laws for all 50 states at the following link.  Homeschool Laws By State (hslda.org) We strongly recommend you explore the HSLDA website to learn more about homeschooling and the freedom to choose and guide your children’s educational experience.  There is a great video and information on getting started with homeschooling at the following link Get Started (hslda.org)

Visit Public School Exit. PublicSchoolExit.com There is an enormous amount of information and support found on the Public School Exit website from educational options to parent support. Many parents feel “unqualified” or “inadequate” to teach their children. That is because we look at public school and think that is what we have to do. Public schools have become a factory model that is ineffective so why would we be duplicating it? That is not what homeschooling is. Homeschooling simply means you guide the education of your children. It is individual for each family and each child. PublicSchoolExit.com provides an abundance of ideas from parent-share co-ops to micro schools. Homeschooling allows you to be creative, customize your student’s work to their needs and focus on the areas you feel are most important for their moral and intellectual development.

Start a Learning Pod. According to School Choice Week, as families grapple with a changing education environment and choose to exit public schools, some may want the flexibility, safety, and community they desire in small, local learning arrangements called learning pods. You will find details here to research the school pod concept, get to know state requirements related to pods and discover the variety of pod types so you can choose what works best for you and the families you join with to start a learning pod. See the “Start a Learning Pod” resources below for more information.

MomForce Resources - A Move Back to Classical Education

Parents long for the classical education in the liberal arts tradition. Lessons developed critical thinkers who could debate ideas and created a love for learning. This kind of education is still available. Parents are teaching it to their children at home with the help of resources available in online classes, in pods with other moms where they share facilitating the homeschooling of a small group of trust kids, and in many books that guide parents to develop their own curriculum, as well as using multiple sources for complete classical and/or Christian based curriculum. There’s a plethora of resources to support you. Exercise your fundamental rights as parents – say no to government schools and take back control of your children’s education.

This is a fantastic blog created by a mom who never planned to be a homeschooler. Many moms found themselves in that same position during covid lockdowns. This is the journey of one mom, why she went from resistant to persistent homeschooler and what she learned along the way.  She has a great post from 2014 on “How to withdraw from public school.”

MomForce Resources - A Move Back to Classical Education
MomForce Resources - Universal Preschool, All Day Kindergarten

The federal government is proposing to force “preschool for all” programs in the public schools. But, is universal all-day preschool what’s best for your children? Very young children need time to play and spend time with their families – not to spend full days in a classroom. Some current curriculums in the public schools could subject your child to inappropriate subjects at an early age, and families will be prevented from having the time to guide their children spiritually at this very impressionable stage. It’s important to become informed about this newest federal over reach into your lives.

Every provision of the Constitution was based upon the Founders’ understanding of righteousness and timeless principles. In these resources it will become evident that the Constitution – as written and as intended by its Founders – is as appropriate and relevant today as it was when first implemented. The Constitution is a timeless document because it is based upon human nature which does not change. Correctly practiced, it produces a truly free people who can achieve that which all mankind is seeking: FREEDOM, PROSPERITY, and PEACE.

Self-Government Works - Curriculum

Self-Government Works - Curriculum - Moms for America Recommended Resources

Self-Government Works is an American History simulation where students (grades 7-12) build, maintain, and experiment with self-governance. Students forge their independence through self-governing practices inside and outside the classroom.  This simulation allows students to learn the historical evolution of self-government as they create their own in-class government system, increasing student engagement and interest in U.S. history and government. It perfectly counters historical revisionist curriculum, including, but not limited to, CRT and the 1619 Project.  It does this not because it has an opposing agenda, but because students are able to learn firsthand the historical challenges and victories of self-government. They learn for themselves that the American Republic is not oppressive; rather, it is the most liberating form of government in history.
