Homeschooled Background
00:03:56
|
|
| At Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell, Montana. | |
| Audrey, have we ever met? | |
| Yes, we have. | |
| Good thing I asked. | |
| Over the Prager Force retreat. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Fair enough. | |
| Well, it's good to meet you again. | |
| Yes, good to meet you, too. | |
| Thank you for having me. | |
| Thank you. | |
| So tell me about your background. | |
| The last two Prager Force people... | |
| For this March fundraising month that I spoke to, we're both homeschooled. | |
| Were you? | |
| Yes, I was. | |
| I was homeschooled starting my sophomore year all the way up until my senior year. | |
| I graduated from a Becca homeschooling program. | |
| Do you live in Kalispell? | |
| Yes, I do. | |
| So, and now, so this is your first time in a regular school? | |
| Yes. | |
| So tell me what the great, if Eddie, the great differences are between homeschooling and going to school. | |
| Well, I can tell you, especially from my past, I I wasn't exactly being taught what I should have been taught. | |
| When I was originally when I compared to when I was in just in the main public education in the public schools, I was taught that we I wasn't exactly... | |
| I wasn't exactly taught what I was supposed to be taught, I guess. | |
| Like, technically, I didn't earn my grades. | |
| I wasn't taught a classical American history. | |
| I wasn't taught any of that. | |
| So, and then compared to homeschooling, I actually learned about the American Civil War and, like, what it was about. | |
| And I actually learned about, like, what socialism really was versus, like, what capitalism was. | |
| And I learned about Karl Marx and his philosophies and how Vladimir Lenin implemented socialism and just how it destroyed so many lives. | |
| You mean they're not teaching in American public schools? | |
| How many lives Vladimir Lenin ruined? | |
| By the way, No. | |
| The fact that you even knew his first name tells me you didn't go to a regular school, private or public. | |
| No, okay, so I graduated from Abeka Academy, which is a Christian academy down in Pensacola, Florida. | |
| So what I did is that I didn't do online classes. | |
| I took video lessons and I had to basically teach myself economics and history and I very much tuned into history and I had really great teachers and if I was confused on something I just had to go back and rewind it and just watch it and I just had to learn. | |
| I had to actually teach myself what Some of these philosophies were and who these people were. | |
| And it caused me to be more independent and what I should believe in and just to be more careful of what I should believe in and what I shouldn't believe in. | |
| All right. | |
