Laughing,
I have not had this much fun in yrs. just looking over this thread it went from learning to downright bigotry,and y'all call me a bigot boy howdy y'all got that one so dead wrong...I have been called stupid,been called anti-sematic,so on and so forth,but I noticed something alot of you who love name calling did not notice,the focus was taken off the message to bullshit,to pure 100% Missouri grown bullshit.
See Lucifer has alot of you so much in his hold if the message offends attack the messenger,well if degree's are so all fired important for being of knowledge,lets see the Apostles all had various trades,but before Yahshua all they had was what the priests of their time allowed to them,just like today..
Like I asked before who taught the teachers,who was the first teachers,hmm our dads maybe,our moms,also...Like King David all he knew was Torah and tending sheep and became the greatest King of all Israel,Joshua of Nun all he knew was what Moses taught him about faith and the way,Abraham became a gypsy and never had a home..
Like the workings of our goverment,it was all hands on,taken from various other cultures doctrines and decrees which we also follow in the present age.
My Brother by learning hands on tearing down and assembling car and diesel engines and never stepped foot in a classroom and is a ASE certified mechanic,one test short of a masters and all his testing has been on paper,and he has been tested by Dodge and is also a Dodge certified mechanic...
My Dad learned Auto repair from a old man who had been repairing cars since cars were invented,my dad managed to get the military to allow this man to teach my dad,so my dad got his masters in auto repair and never stepped in a classroom,just all hands on. My Gran Pa was a Farmer and his Father was a Farmer,they learned farming by doing.
Now on to my testing when I worked at Dominoes was management testing,I was one test from Supervisor,truck driving 3 times not because I flunked,but because the first one was when I was 21 and the Industry was hiring at 23,was the first truck driving student at TSTI Amarillo to be on the vice deans honor role,and had 2.5 college credits in business,when I tried again at 23 the companies in Louisana where I lived did not recognize Texas trucking schools,so I went again at night after working a 10-12 hr day,drove 3 yrs. and had to find different work because our daughter was getting sicker,so after a 7 yr absence I was told I had to go back again for training and to get my License reinstated.
But the Texas and the La. schools I graduated early and ahead of my class,so don't knock learning,I have learned alot over the yrs. by doing and hands on..
I am Terry and no one else,wish alot of you could have done the walk with me,for the ones who tried I left behind yrs ago because the trail got to hard for them.
So if self schooling is ignorance,my advice to those who homeschool,you better send your kids back to regular school are they will become like me stupid.
I have my High School diploma,how many here can say the same?
