The Benefits of Joining the Ron Paul Curriculum

   What is the Ron Paul Curriculum?  The Ron Paul Curriculum is the only online, video-centric, K-12 homeschooling program that defends free market economics and limited government.

    Benefit #1: The Ron Paul Curriculum reinforces your worldview to your children.  This is the only online homeschooling program that is explicitly libertarian in the world.

    Benefit #2: Nearly 100% of the course materials are online.  

    Benefit #3: This means you don’t have to pay for textbooks.  The only exceptions are the Business I and Business II courses, where you are asked to purchase e-books or the physical books themselves.

    Benefit #4: The lessons are video-centric.  We all know that students need a combination of reading, listening/watching, and writing to learn.  Most homeschooling programs are based entirely on reading textbooks.  For each lesson on the site there is one lecture/video produced by the course instructor, which correlates with that lesson’s reading assignment.  These video lessons are exclusive to the RPC, they can’t be found on YouTube.

    Benefit #5: There is a 100% money-back guarantee for curriculum membership and individual courses.  This guarantee is valid for 60 days after the purchase was made.  This removes all of the risk associated with testing the curriculum.

    Benefit #6: Most of the courses provide five free demo lessons for you to view.  These demo lessons will help give you insight into how the courses are structured, as well as the content of the courses.  Here is a link to the demos: https://www.ronpaulcurriculum.com/public/department58.cfm.  All you have to do is click the link, then click on the course that you would like to investigate.  At the bottom of the course information page there should be five free demo lessons for you to view.

    Benefit #7: This curriculum is very flexible.  The courses are available 24/7, so students always have access to the lessons as long as they are site members.  This allows students to create their own schedules.

    Benefit #8: This curriculum gives students at least one to two more hours of spare time than they would have had in public school.  This is a tremendous benefit.  Imagine having 360 more non-school hours per year.

    Benefit #9: This curriculum is self-paced. This provides the student with a tremendous amount of power!  If the student really wants, he/she can complete the curriculum before they turn 18 as long as they start the curriculum early enough.  Of all the benefits listed here this has to be one of the most powerful benefits.  The student is no longer chained to the public school schedule, he/she is no longer a slave.  I recommend the student do classes on Saturdays to get even further ahead.  This curriculum provides students with everything they need to get ahead of the pack.

    Benefit #10: This curriculum teaches students how to test out of their first one to two years of college.  The means of doing this are passing CLEP exams.

    Benefit #11: This curriculum provides two business courses and a personal finance course for students looking to start their own businesses.

    Benefit #12: This curriculum is very affordable for people looking to switch entirely to this curriculum.  Yearly site membership costs $250 and individual courses cost $50.  Site membership is required in order to purchase individual courses.  Assuming you take the recommended route of taking five courses per year, this equates to $500 per year.  This is much cheaper than other online competing home school programs.  Now, the curriculum is a bit pricey if you are looking to take only one course from the site, because this equates to $300 for one course.  You get more value by purchasing and completing multiple courses per year.  The best and most price conscious way to use this curriculum is to switch completely from a public school or other homeschooling program to this curriculum.

    Benefit #13: All site members have access to all of the course forums, where students can communicate and help each other.  If a student has a problem or comment regarding a lesson in a course, he/she can go into that course’s forum and ask other students for help.

    Benefit #14: Site members also have access to a FREE course that teaches students how to become self-motivated.  This course is underrated and underused by site members!  I can tell you with a good deal of certainty that it is worth a member’s time to take the 47 lesson “ABC Course.”  This course teaches students how to manage their time, speed read, set goals, and become leaders.  It prepares students for college and life on their own.

    Benefit #15: Students learn to teach themselves.  All the information needed to succeed academically is provided through this curriculum, but it is self-taught.  This means that the student must learn to teach himself using the daily reading and video assignments along with the weekly essays.

    Benefit #16: After third grade, parents are not required to teach their children.  All the information the child will need will be on the site.  At a third grade level students should not need their parents to be with them while they study.

    Benefit #17: The curriculum is structured similarly to most public schools, 180 daily lessons per course.  This can be helpful for students who are moving out of a different schooling program.

    Benefit #18: Although the structure of the courses is similar to public schools, the content is not.  This curriculum does not use Common Core standards in any way, shape, or form.  In today’s public schools the government is portrayed as the hero and bearer of responsibilities, but this curriculum reveals and defends the other side of the coin.  This curriculum argues that freely acting individuals have made the West wealthy, not government intervention into the economy.

    Benefit #19: Most of the high school course instructors are college professors or Ph.D’s.

    Benefit #20: Students learn to write exceedingly well, because of the weekly essays they are assigned.  Students are expected to write these essays and post them on their blogs.  Then, they post a link to their blog in that specific course forum for other students to read.

    Benefit #21: The reading assignments for the government and history courses are mostly original source documents.

    Benefit #22: There is a weekly review lesson for higher memory retention.

    Benefit #23: This curriculum’s courses are college level, which challenges students academically.

    Benefit #24: This curriculum pushes students to think for themselves and form their own opinions.

    Benefit #25: This curriculum teaches students how to create their own WordPress site, YouTube channel, and use Evernote to take notes.
