I taught personal finance to my kids, and got them in classes on the same, but didn’t venture into economics. Makes total sense as a middle school elective!
Im starting homeschooling my son next school year (he goes to nice Christian private school now), but homeschooling still the better option for us. As I am researching curriculums, this is one I will definitely look into.
This is fantastic and I’m so glad you’re sharing it. I’d have signed up in a heartbeat if it’d been around when I was homeschooling my kids. They’re all young adults now. But I’m so happy to see this as an option for homeschooling families!
One of the better curricula I've read about. While I never had the luxury to attend anything other than a government school, the job I do today (under my legal name) came as a result of self-teaching. Funnily enough, I've also found it a lot easier to retain knowledge I've taught myself than what they tried to jam into my brain during my time in government schools and even in college.
The fact that the Ron Paul Curriculum is a self-taught course might be its greatest attribute, along with the requirement for kids to start their own website that will contain their essays. That's very, very good training to put out your absolute best product any given time, and it will teach far more self-discipline than turning something into just a single set of eyes.
I love Ron Paul...The man who went after the Federal Reserve ...
Drax Research:
he consistently advocated for reducing or eliminating the Federal Reserve's power, arguing it manipulates the economy and devalues currency through inflation. He famously pushed to "audit the Fed," introducing bills like the Federal Reserve Transparency Act multiple times (e.g., H.R. 1207 in 2009), which aimed to increase oversight and scrutiny of the Fed’s operations. Paul also wrote books like End the Fed (2009), where he laid out his case for abolishing it entirely, claiming it’s an unaccountable institution that benefits elites over the public. His stance made him a hero to many liberty-minded folks but didn’t win him much love from establishment types. Did he “go after” it? Absolutely—relentlessly, though mostly through rhetoric and legislation rather than direct action, given his role as a lawmaker.
