Education a la Carte | Leman, Dr Kevin | LifeWay Christian Non-Fiction Every parent wants the best possible education for their child--one that fits their child's unique needs, challenges them to grow, and equips them to succeed. But there are so many options--public, private, and charter schools, plus homeschooling and online schooling - that it's easy for parents to feel overwhelmed and, well, undereducated about the choices.

Lennie Jarratt, project manager for the Center for Transforming Education at The Heartland Institute talks of the current state of public education. Jarratt goes into how public education has become synonymous with public schools, something that wasn’t always the case. In order for the availability of quality schools to expand, Jarratt argues public education should be formed though state funds being allocated to private schools rather than going to public schooling districts. Jarratt touches on topics including the Common Core State Standards, prevalence of socialism in public schools, and education savings accounts. The Common Core State Standards aim to be the national curriculum, but not every student responds to the same kind of education. To best ensure the readiness of future generations, states need to move away from Common Core and tailor curriculums to the needs of their students.

Natural cures for allergies Posted by: Jonathan Landsman in Natural Cures January 22, 2014 | How do genetically engineered foods cause allergies? In reality, the United States population is being used like guinea pigs in a sick experiment by the biotech industry - led by Monsanto.

In fact, we've seen a direct relationship between the dramatic rise in allergies and the genetic engineering of our food supply. Does this sound natural (or safe) to you?
