No More Public School
(Page 5 of 7)
July/August 1972
By H. Bennett
Understand that the authorities will buy the idea that you are teaching your child at home, or elsewhere, while you put together your school. But they won't go along with it for much more than a year. So the paper school people have their friends file new papers, with new names for the new school year. With a dozen parents cooperating, you can get through all twelve grades this way.

The intent here is not always to evade the authorities, but to have a way of gathering resources for a legitimate school operation. It is a way of doing this in a leisurely fashion. More than one parent group began this way, and went on to bigger things. It's just one way of getting your kid out of public school immediately and doing so in a way that will protect you from clear-cut violations of the compulsory education laws.
CONCLUSION
With the above information, anyone who wants to take his child out of public school can do it tomorrow. You now have two important tools in your hands:
• how to take your child out of public school with absolute minimum hassle from the authorities
• how to obtain the protection of an "approved" private school for at least one year, in the form of the "paper" school.
All the methods here have been tried, and are working for others. There's no reason why they won't work for you.
GET YOURSELF TOGETHER
HUMAN RESOURCES COME FIRST
If you've got children, a roof over your head, a handful of friends, and can raise fifty dollars, you've got all you need to start a school. Children do not need buildings, and desks: and principals' offices in order to learn. Learning can take place anywhere, in living rooms, parks, storefronts, and out on the street. Libraries, museums, and man's natural as well as created environments provide all the educational resources you'll ever need.

Focus on human resources. The greatest human resource is interest, since that's what provides positive energy. Spend time with yourself figuring out how much and what kinds of energy you have to give. If your interests run toward the business end of the school, don't get hung up teaching. And if teaching turns you on, let someone else do the business stuff.

Trust your gut feelings at this point, and be cautious of anything that seems to come from the head. The brain is a good tool, but seldom accurate for getting in touch with your interests.

Teaching children, coping with laws and business procedures, and getting in touch with gut feelings probably won't seem very compatible at first, so take your time with it. Remember, moving with your deepest interests will open the way for a positive flow of energy.
