I have had a few people ask me why I am doing it. Sometimes I ask myself that same question but then I hear horror stories of shootings, drugs, 10 year olds getting pregnant, the passing out of condoms, inappropriate teaching of sex, not to mention the mouths on 5 year olds these days. Yes I know I named off all the bad things that people hear about public, private or even Christian school's.
One morning as I was laying awake and I could hear the kindergartners get on the buss and one of them was yelling at either his sister or another kid getting on the buss, I almost cried because of the words that were coming out of this small kids mouth. I wonder, where does he learn these kinds of words and I was even wondering what some of them meant. Then I thought about my daughter who was sleeping in the next room and thanking God that she was not awake to hear them because then I would have to explain to her why we should not use that language.
I know this was not the child's fault but his parents.
Let me just say...MOM, DAD watch what you say in front of your kids because they here it and repeat it.
When you put your husband or wife down or talk sarcastic to them your kids will be doing the same thing to someone else.
But back to the home school subject...
I have had people ask if my kid has a social life. I almost laugh at this question because its the most famous question that is asked of homeschoolers.
Yes I do know that some people go overboard with the whole shelter your kids to the point where they can't even say boo.
But then again you have that in just about any case! I mean you can pic any subject to talk about and you would have a nut going both ways. hehehe
So I hope that I am not nuts for homeschooling my kids. I do want to give my child the most important thing that school is and was designed for!
KNOWLEDGE!!!
School is not for sports or a social life but for furthering your education.
As long as I can give her that then I will be happy.
