If You Stick With This Program, You Will Be Way Ahead of Your Peers by Graduation Day
Gary North
This site provides you with an opportunity to teach yourself the academic and practical skills to be a success, at every age, compared to those your own age. You will teach yourself. Students your own age or a year older will teach you. You will teach other students. You will go at your own pace. In most cases, this pace will be faster than the pace of your friends. You will learn to speed up. That is because you will learn how to learn. If you learn this, you will be ready for graduation. This is a self-teaching curriculum. If you need parental nagging to finish anything, do not sign up for this program. If you are not self-disciplined, do not sign up. The course work is not all that time-consuming through the eighth grade. You will be expected to master four academic skills: critical reading, effective writing, public speaking, and arithmetic. You will also learn how to type. Up through eighth grade, this is a four-hour-per-day curriculum. If you are committed, you will spend an hour a day tutoring, from the sixth grade onward. This is not required. Then comes high school There, you will work harder than your peers in day school settings. High school is where you put it all together. Your youth will end in high school. You will be expected to put in an eight-hour work day, just as an adult does in the job market. Do not start what you will not finish. "And Jesus said, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke 9:62). There is one-year grace period. If you are willing to start and stick with this curriculum for one year, that's good enough for me. But, at the beginning of year two, I want you to commit to the full program. No turning back.
