We homeschooled our children. Our children were the only black children in the entire district. We live in a very rural area. Our children were bullied horribly. My husband is a successful attorney, so thankfully we could afford to do so. My youngest started ASU this fall.
I'm sorry your children and surely all of you had to deal with bigotry. It amazes me that there are still so many whites that judge people's worth by skin color. They're becoming a minority themselves. Most people I know reject racism. My family is mixed and there is no undoing that!

It can be done successfully. I did it with three children. I was told one of my children would never get an education pass the sixth grade level. They kept placing them in special education. They were bullied constantly. We moved to better neighborhoods. Sadly, problems progressed. I took all three of my children out of public school. They are now graduated from college and one is graduating from medical school this year.

I'm a full-time Grandma and have begun our homeschooling journey. Like you, I've decided to re-landscape my career to accommodate this endeavor. WHEW!! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Mad respect to this mama and the community. Community is how we build strength, it’s how we build unity, it’s how we build each other up instead of tearing each other down in face of unnecessary hierarchies, it’s how we keep it real and keep the discussion open.
Congratulations to all the parents that homeschool their kids! I pray God continues giving you guys the strength for each day! Yes I agree all day at school and then homework and no family time.
Personally I think it's a massive injustice to the children to be 'taught' by unqualified people. Regardless of who it is. When half African American adults can't even pronounce half the English language correctly. 😬🫡
My parents were able to homeschool my siblings and I growing up and allowed us to choose public schooling as well. I am so grateful for the opportunities this has allowed all of us because we were able to discover our gifts and interest while socializing with others through homeschooling co-ops.
Nice 👍 I was homeschooled for five years as a kid, fourth and fifth grade, then the last three years of highschool. It taught me to keep teaching myself and never stop learning.
When I taught in the public school system, I told myself that when I had kids I would put them in private school. And then when I taught in private school, I decided I would home school. These schools are not teaching our children the way they need to be taught. If you can, take control of your children's education.
Ive worked in education for abour 10 years. I never thought I'd be a homeschooling family, but what I've witnessed in the last few yearsakws me want to homeschool ALL the kids in my family!
💞 Very inspiring story! More power to homeschooling parents & the children we are raise. Empowering communities & individuals with respect and wisdom. Beautiful! 💕
I'm so glad I don't have any more school aged children. My son is 31 now. I homeschooled him through middle school and high school. I'm glad I did and didn't let other people's negative comments keep me from doing so. I really could care less what other people think. I did what was best for my son. It is tiring, but very rewarding.
I wasn't home schooled my parents were able to send my sister and I to a private school. The public school in our town was terrible. I faced way more racism when I was out of school than in. A lot of my family members called us horrible things. We as a community need to stop calling each other parents/children names etc. When they make decisions for their household. My parents were not going to send us to a horrible school for the sake of "staying black" enough
It depends on the community that you were in. That doesn't happen in middle class communities with lots of black people as most of the kids are raised to go to college or start businesses.
@@economicdevelopmentplannin8715 I understand what you are saying but I do have issue with the last part. No matter where I went to school I'm still from a black household. So how do you learn black traditions by getting homeschooled vs. going to school and coming home to a black household?? Just because I wasn't around my parents for a certain amount of hours a day doesn't mean that I am lacking being "traditionally black" . To me using the word tradition is stating their is only one way to be and suggesting that people who cant homeschool their children aren't "traditionally black" Please elaborate on what this means.
@@alicialynnette9889 homeschooling produces more traditional families... Probably produces kids who are less focused on work, and more focused on family and fertility. No more is this needed than now when fertility rates are at all time lows. That's what I meant by traditional.
@@economicdevelopmentplannin8715 maybe people have figured out that traditional values don't make them happy. It nice that you are for traditional families. But now people have realized you don't have to just be here to make children etc.. Kids are expensive and a lifetime commitment. Women and men can have fulfilled lives with or without children. For me the whole traditional family is something that is forced on us by society. I grew up in a traditional household and both my parents worked and split the duties. They always taught me to be myself and I dont have to grow up to just be a wife and mother. I can come and go as I please and I dont want to have children because I know how I like to live my life. I can support myself and I'm extremely happy with my career and boyfriend. many people are divored that are in traditional families. They realized they never got to be who they wanted to be because they were taught how this is how it is. Everyone has their own path. Not to mention this world is a dumpster fire. Thus why there is a decline with people having children. The world is over saturated anyway.
Basically married couples are likely to be able to homeschool than single parents. So marry before you carry so you can have the same opportunity and options for your kids.
Lmfao “marry before u carry” my A$$, she’s one of the lucky blk American women. In other culture women don’t have to worry about this. 85% of American blk men don’t care about their children’s education
I pulled my 9 yr old out for the same reason. He’s smart, like weather science, science, math, geography and coding. He can calculate numbers in his head on a snap of a finger. But. Yes, there’s a but. He wiggles alot. He’s very easily distracted. He’s too smart to qualify for IEP. If I allowed him to stay in public school, they had started labeling “troubled”. My son learns a variety of subjects at school and online on our time. It’s not easy but it worth every sacrifice!!!!❤
How sad a community feels so isolated that they left the very schools fought so hard to be in. I don't blame you at all it's just sad. I am having issues of same sort in different area so it's hard.
Well We never asked to be schooled with our enemies children in the 1st place...it was Forced upon Us because of our intelligence an intellectual minds as 1st People's of the earth and also was used as a Weapon against US to watch our achievements just to be Ostracized by a whole people as today, as it will continue on until these people see their Faults in society..
FairPoint however a homeschool education can be equally garbage say when there are no education standards and parents are allowed to teach their children young Earth creationism as science
I was homeschooled in the 90s. Before that I did go to public school for a short time. Black history was not being taught to us then the way I feel it should be. I knew about it at a very young age because my parents taught it to me. And even when I was homeschooled it was not discussed in our history curriculum at great length. Again, this was something that our parents brought to our attention as something important for us to know and I also took a special interest in. I am saddened and frightened that so much history is disappearing from our schools altogether now. When one discards history they discard education; they are creating more opportunities for racism and ignorance and hate.
These parents could create a learning co-op, which seems like the best option for one's children to have access to a healthy safe personalized learning environment and have like minded people invested.
Education is nice but getting to Autodidactism is better. Teach your kids skills, that will actually help them earn a living. I am not knocking learning but information is only so much. Learn to be skilled and not just a brain filled with bits of information. Kids and adults can learn throughout their entire lives.
See that's your misunderstanding of what education should be though you're on the right track education shouldn't be about teaching kids what to think but rather how to think but teaching them a skill is a good idea too not everyone is meant to be a doctor
I LOVE seeing the shift in black families towards homeschools. I've taught in various high schools and statistics don't lie. Black students that are homeschooled are 20-40 percent higher academically than black kids in public schools. After teaching in an all-black inner-city school and seeing fights daily between students or the "smart" and hard-working kids being made fun of...it just is not a conducive place to learn. Every child has great potential and small group or one-on-one instruction can help meet the needs of every child. I wish every child was able to have that opportunity.
We are now homeschooling our children. It's not easy, but it's definitely worth it! We moved to the number one school district in Louisiana just to experience issues when sending our children to school. As a black mother of five, this video gave me so much inspiration.
👍🏾🤗This video lifted my spirits about homeschooling alot being from a small Mississippi town where there's nothing for our black and brown children I'm thankful it's working for us and others
We're a black family homeschooling our 5 as well, up here in Michigan. There is a LOT of help out there, both in person and online. Your best asset? The local library. Not just for books and resources, but also for classes, activities, and community involvement. 👍
Kudos to this mom for being so supportive of what her kids need. Homeschooling is a great option, but there still needs to be some system to hold parents accountable for their child's education. So many stories of abuse being hidden or kids taught that the earth is flat or "unschooled" kids that can barely read or write. Idk what the answer is but I worry about parents who might take advantage of it.
As a public school teacher, my heart is breaking to hear children are getting pulled out of public school because of bullying, racism, officer abuse, and curriculum battles. It doesn't have to be this way.
Those aren't the only reasons, just some of the well-known ones. One of my biggest reasons for homeschooling is how disabled and neurodivergent students are fundamentally disadvantaged by the structure of formal schooling. That's not really fixable at a root level even if the school system does its best. I would compare it to how policing as an institution has deep-rooted, systemic inequality.
"It doesn't have to be this way" are you referring that sentence to parents who are pulling their children from public school or to the problem that occurs in school like bullying, racism and officer abuse?
She is so right not all kids brain process the same way some learns quicker than the others and some schools but don't really care if your kids learn or catch on to anything you know like right now I'm having trouble with my daughter's teachers he's having issues in the subject and they just don't want to help teach her so pulling her out and I'm going to home school her since I had public schools or s*****
The school system has absolutely failed our Americans kids, and quadruple failed our black boys especially and black girls!!! So this is great! I am thinking very hard about being a homeschool parent!!
Avid homeschooler here I homeschooled all of my children. You must do a" declaration of intent to provide home-based instruction". Google a template in your state. DONT USE THE FORM! WRITE YOUR OWN VERSION/LETTER. Put the registered or certified mail # on the letter before mailing it. Keep the tracking number for record.
All history is half truth written by the victors I'm just going to assume you think white people can't be racist there by making you just as racist as the group you criticize literally by definition of racism
What?! I knew America is like the worst place on earth but for police to haul away a little 1st grader because of sunglasses? Seems to me they should have hauled away that no good rotten assistant principal. That poor little girl will be traumatised for life. From all I've seen about American schools, I think that all parents who care about their children should pull them out and the majority of those rotten schools should shut down for good.
Raised in Montgomery AL in some of the worse schools. Being one of 5 Hispanics in a all black school I suffered some of the worst bullying ever imaginable. All because of my white skin… it made me hate myself. Glad I moved the hell out of that state. Teach your kids to love all races regardless of color.
YES! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤OUR CHILDREN DESERVE THE BEST! Black children thrive in a positive environment that will respect their culture and their lives! BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THESE DANGEROUS SCHOOLS.
I'm a single mom in nyc and this is my second year of Homeschooling my son..my reason for doing it was because of the mask mandates and the fact that DEMONcrat government was considering covid vaccine mandates...my decision is much bigger than just racism..I want my son to become an independent thinker
Maybe you need to reconsider homeschooling your kids because you already fail to be an independent thinker yourself. Or your children will be smarter than you & don't think like you do.
As one of the few black families in our district I chose not to enroll my sun and to remove my oldest. One of the downsides is the further lack of diversity in the homeschool co-ops. I drive an hour to a more populated city for meetups once or twice a month.
Arrogant of you to apply a gender to an all-powerful being who would inevitably transcend such a foolish concept but hey you clearly admire Harley Quinn so extremely hard to respect your intelligence
I have definitely considered homeschooling myself. I am not decided. Personally I did not have any safe place. School was not a safe place. Home was not a safe place. I left an abusive home to go to abusive peers and teachers. There wasn't a safe place for me. As someone who endured no safe place, I can understand where people are concerned about bullying in school and abuse at home. My question to you is what's the solution to the children that get it at both ends?
Really good coverage 👍 of so many salient points in a world gone mad with so many rules about 'not having so many rules'! So good! Like the lady says, it's about what's right for YOUR household. I'm In Melbourne Australia, my kids have grown up and make their own mistakes now. 😉 I can tell you I was raised to consider ALL to be equal, but good people are having to fight to keep their kids alive for goodness sake! It's nuts! I would like very much for all and sundry to look and see the good and righteous these decent folk are injecting back into their kids and by extension, our world. I've never had issue being white, but it's EMBARRASSING these days 😒
Yes! This video is right on time! So glad to hear they live where I do too! I have been confused on how to take these steps as a black parent (it’s a shame, but color does matter in this instance).
My children are in virtual school. Best decision I ever made! The work load is actually heavier than in person public school. It is in no way easy and requires alot of dedication by parents, but it is DEFINITELY worth it!
Kudos to All Parents who are willing to teach their Own Children where they can learn at their own pace without being compared to Discriminatory Statistics. This also provides the Student cultural Benefits. Many of our People are Unaware of Our Cultures and Value and this is an Opportunity to Open the Eyes of a Child
I was able to watch the generation before me homeschool my cousins. 4 Girls all excelling in life. I remember thinking they would be weird or sheltered, it is the polar opposite. Then my best friends wife started a hybrid school....3 days at home and 2 at school. My wife and I tried it for one year with our eldest who is now 7 and loved it. Both of our kids are homeschooled now and enjoy the experience. In general, my mind has changed, if you are responsible for every area of your child's life until adulthood, why would we leave education to the state? Moreover for black families, with all of the struggles we experience from violence, negative stereotypes and racism, I feel safer with my kids at home with us. We are responsible for what they are learning and can be creative with how they learn it. We are not relying on the word of a teacher with 40 other students in the class. We don't worry about what negative influences other students may have on our kids. We select the families we bond with and our kids love their friends. I will be an advocate for homeschooling in our communities. Is it challenging, sometimes. But we have these years with our children for a short period of time. I enjoy being with them so much and we have fun as a family. Knowing they will be fully prepared for adulthood is an added bonus.
Homeschool is great...if you can do it. Most of these parents are middle and high income earning families and have the capital, culture and material, to do so. Low earning families in low wealth communities makes homeschooling difficult.
We homeschooled our children. Our children were the only black children in the entire district. We live in a very rural area. Our children were bullied horribly. My husband is a successful attorney, so thankfully we could afford to do so. My youngest started ASU this fall.

I’m a public school teacher. I am also a black mother. I agree with a lot of this and I would like to homeschool my own daughter.
I homeschooled my children. They have all graduated college and one is in medical school.
It's my experience that public school teacher's are hostile to school choice. I'm glad to hear you are not.

She is so right not all kids brain process the same way some learns quicker than the others and some schools but don't really care if your kids learn or catch on to anything you know like right now I'm having trouble with my daughter's teachers he's having issues in the subject and they just don't want to help teach her so pulling her out and I'm going to home school her since I had public schools or s*****
The school system has absolutely failed our Americans kids, and quadruple failed our black boys especially and black girls!!! So this is great! I am thinking very hard about being a homeschool parent!!
Good on ya, your kids are lucky and deserve it….
Love this mother
Avid homeschooler here I homeschooled all of my children. You must do a" declaration of intent to provide home-based instruction". Google a template in your state. DONT USE THE FORM! WRITE YOUR OWN VERSION/LETTER. Put the registered or certified mail # on the letter before mailing it. Keep the tracking number for record.
I am a firm believer in homeschooling and I plan to home school my daughter.
I am glad my Ppl waking up on these racist ppl and lying history.
The media are the biggest liars. The Democrat party is the racist party that these people oppose teaching their kids more racist division and hatred.
@Zack Fair I don’t give a dam about pasty fking cannibal got to say about me when they was the most violent evil spawns evil.
Agreed
All history is half truth written by the victors I'm just going to assume you think white people can't be racist there by making you just as racist as the group you criticize literally by definition of racism
I don’t blame them, the American school system is broken.
I would homeschool before I would go out and buy a bulletproof backpack!!! crazy crazy crazy world! I'm grateful my children are older!
What?! I knew America is like the worst place on earth but for police to haul away a little 1st grader because of sunglasses? Seems to me they should have hauled away that no good rotten assistant principal. That poor little girl will be traumatised for life.
From all I've seen about American schools, I think that all parents who care about their children should pull them out and the majority of those rotten schools should shut down for good.
To think America is the worst place in earth you have to have lived in America your whole life.
I’m sure you don’t live in America? Please tell me you don’t.
White people are not America or the cruelty of some. America is us all.
Raised in Montgomery AL in some of the worse schools. Being one of 5 Hispanics in a all black school I suffered some of the worst bullying ever imaginable. All because of my white skin… it made me hate myself. Glad I moved the hell out of that state. Teach your kids to love all races regardless of color.
You should’ve transferred to a predominately Hispanic school and witnessed racism against their minorities.
I'm so sorry you and your kids had to go through that. 😥
I'm loving the propaganda insert. CRT is not the same as history. It's not history that's being banned, it's your propaganda.
Yeah, I rolled my eyes when seeing that civil rights history was banned when that is not the case.
As a black woman, I will homeschool my children if I decide to have them.
YES! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤OUR CHILDREN DESERVE THE BEST! Black children thrive in a positive environment that will respect their culture and their lives! BLACK PEOPLE PLEASE GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT OF THESE DANGEROUS SCHOOLS.
The police officer that assaulted that little girls needs to be fired
@Tarah ok well my comment is still related to the conversation the police officer needs to be delt with
I'm a single mom in nyc and this is my second year of Homeschooling my son..my reason for doing it was because of the mask mandates and the fact that DEMONcrat government was considering covid vaccine mandates...my decision is much bigger than just racism..I want my son to become an independent thinker
Maybe you need to reconsider homeschooling your kids because you already fail to be an independent thinker yourself. Or your children will be smarter than you & don't think like you do.
The school system teaches you the opposite of what you need to know.
Always one. How on earth can you support legislation that bans teaching the TRUTH?! A whole fool!!
Massa always carry 1 in their pocket to see if we're sleep or not...
Your greatest contribution to the universe may not be something you do, but someone you raise.
Good Job ladies ❤💪🏽🙏🏽
I pulled all my children out of public school. They have never been happier, or healthier.
I wish I could homeschool my kids
Very dynamic story of the day
As one of the few black families in our district I chose not to enroll my sun and to remove my oldest. One of the downsides is the further lack of diversity in the homeschool co-ops. I drive an hour to a more populated city for meetups once or twice a month.
I love that! I am accountable fto Zoey and Tyler they are the gifts I was blessed with! ❤
Good on these parent's.
Integration shouldn’t have happened.
Exactly. Black people would have been better.
Goddess Bless these families
Arrogant of you to apply a gender to an all-powerful being who would inevitably transcend such a foolish concept but hey you clearly admire Harley Quinn so extremely hard to respect your intelligence
I have definitely considered homeschooling myself. I am not decided. Personally I did not have any safe place. School was not a safe place. Home was not a safe place. I left an abusive home to go to abusive peers and teachers. There wasn't a safe place for me. As someone who endured no safe place, I can understand where people are concerned about bullying in school and abuse at home. My question to you is what's the solution to the children that get it at both ends?
Amazing...Congrats...Blessings...Peace...
Wish I had had this opportunity. 😪
This is great news. I hope ALL Black parents will be able to homeschool or send them to private afrocentric curriculum schools.
RIGHT ON 🤲🏽
Make sure the homeboys are not far away with them fire sticks to protect you all. NEVER FORGET ABOUT BLACK WALL STREET.
Really good coverage 👍 of so many salient points in a world gone mad with so many rules about 'not having so many rules'! So good! Like the lady says, it's about what's right for YOUR household. I'm In Melbourne Australia, my kids have grown up and make their own mistakes now. 😉 I can tell you I was raised to consider ALL to be equal, but good people are having to fight to keep their kids alive for goodness sake! It's nuts! I would like very much for all and sundry to look and see the good and righteous these decent folk are injecting back into their kids and by extension, our world. I've never had issue being white, but it's EMBARRASSING these days 😒
Yes! This video is right on time! So glad to hear they live where I do too! I have been confused on how to take these steps as a black parent (it’s a shame, but color does matter in this instance).
My children are in virtual school. Best decision I ever made! The work load is actually heavier than in person public school. It is in no way easy and requires alot of dedication by parents, but it is DEFINITELY worth it!
Great segment!
GOD BLESS U AND UR FAMILY!!! U GO GURL!!!
Kudos to All Parents who are willing to teach their Own Children where they can learn at their own pace without being compared to Discriminatory Statistics. This also provides the Student cultural Benefits. Many of our People are Unaware of Our Cultures and Value and this is an Opportunity to Open the Eyes of a Child
I was able to watch the generation before me homeschool my cousins. 4 Girls all excelling in life. I remember thinking they would be weird or sheltered, it is the polar opposite. Then my best friends wife started a hybrid school....3 days at home and 2 at school. My wife and I tried it for one year with our eldest who is now 7 and loved it. Both of our kids are homeschooled now and enjoy the experience. In general, my mind has changed, if you are responsible for every area of your child's life until adulthood, why would we leave education to the state? Moreover for black families, with all of the struggles we experience from violence, negative stereotypes and racism, I feel safer with my kids at home with us. We are responsible for what they are learning and can be creative with how they learn it. We are not relying on the word of a teacher with 40 other students in the class. We don't worry about what negative influences other students may have on our kids. We select the families we bond with and our kids love their friends. I will be an advocate for homeschooling in our communities. Is it challenging, sometimes. But we have these years with our children for a short period of time. I enjoy being with them so much and we have fun as a family. Knowing they will be fully prepared for adulthood is an added bonus.
Proud to have been raised homeschool.
If I could do the same I definitely would but unfortunately I'm a single parent. Kudos to them for doing what is best for their children.
Homeschool is great...if you can do it. Most of these parents are middle and high income earning families and have the capital, culture and material, to do so. Low earning families in low wealth communities makes homeschooling difficult.
Why does this get political 3/4th of the way? The story of the homeschooling family was enthralling enough.
Seriously though, have schools ever taught The Truth about America's racism? I mean this is America, I Am Race. I'm so glad I homeschool!
Let’s put an end to this unjust “education “ and one sidedness school system once and for all👏🏽👏🏽 I love this “New Community “🎉
