So Pat and I have been talking a lot about homeschooling our kids. We both agree that we feel that is what is best for our kids. We don't want them exposed to certain things at too young of an age. But we don't want to just shelter them either.
Well me and my big mouth said something to my Mom and of course like always she had to put in her two cents. She pretty much said that if I were to home-school our kids that they would be dumb and not know how to act in the real world. Jeez thanks Mom for the boost of support.
We want our kids to be raised knowing God and what God means in their lives. We want them to know what God should and will be number one no matter what happens in life. He is always there for you and me no matter what happens.
I'm sorry but I feel that our public school systems suck. I was in private school until the 6th grade, then I moved to public school. That's when all my problems started for me. Until then I had gotten into a little trouble but nothing like what I did in Jr. High and High School. Someone please tell me why I would want to expose my kids to that kind of stuff. Why should I send them on a bus or even drive them to a school where I have no control over what they are learning and why they are learning it. Yes they need to know how to read and write, do math and sciences. But what about God and the reason we are all here? What about what God really wants us to do with our lives? How he wants us to grow in His name?
There is no reason they can't learn all that at home and there basic skills for life. There is no reason why I can't teach them how to write their names, learn the alphabet, how to count, how to add and subtract. There is no one in world except God that knows them better than I do, and knows what is best for them.
