The Unsinkable Titanic
In 1912 there was a myth
The Titanic proud and tall on sea
Was unique, constructed specially
Would she sink? That could not be!
There was a firm belief
Too strong for minds to down
That powerful and proud vessel
Could never ever drown
Watertight her hull was
Designed it was with care
Safe as your own house
Furnished with grace and flair
Yet no match was she
The big ship laden
The last unhappy cruise
Voyage of the Iron Maiden
Take care what you believe
Trust neither government nor knaves
Think of the unsinkable Titanic
Large and rusting beneath the waves
Myths are powerful. Myths can make us believe anything we secretly wish to believe. Myths can be dangerous. Myths can obscure the truth. Myths can bind us together in hating any group we choose to hate.
From Psychology we know that prejudice about a family of another colour can be dispelled by knowledge of that family, by seeing people as individuals, as human beings with needs, as sentient beings with their own paths, as just Joe and Mary Ellen.
We can look past the myths that chattering government can jeer at us about home education. We who home educate are the experts and the bearers of knowledge.
But it gets very tiring to do it over and over and over.
Leave home education alone. It has never done you any harm.
But it gets very tiring to do it over and over and over.
Leave home education alone. It has never done you any harm.
