Oh I thank God I am homeschooling. I am also downloading the E book too.<br />If the right of homeschooling is ever taken away in this country the way is is being attempted in other countries such as Germany? They will have to kill me first to get my son. That's all I can say.<br />God Bless, and thank you again!<br />I plan on re writing on my blog about home school.

I do homeschool a very active, hyper and curious 8 year old who has never even stepped foot inside a government run "education" institution, and I pray he never will. He is a smart kid- but is not excited with the three R's, but what kid is?<br />I know if he was in PS, he would be drugged- and as hard as he is to handle some times, but that is his personality and spirit. <br />It is very hard to homeschool on a one income (actually right now, it's a no income) household- but still "doable"! In our home school group we have grandparents, aunts and widows homeschooling kids. We do what we have to to keep our kids from experiencing what this teacher has described. What has really killed me lately, is the fact that the gov'ment spends so much on each kid- with what results?! When I spend on average at MOST 200 dollars a year! We study everything from reading, Bible, Biology, NASA science, Spanish, math, History etc. AND we get to do some really cool experiments which he loves to do, and He is only in 2nd grade!<br />He's learning the basics, and about the real history of this country- not the crap (sorry!) that they are forcing kids to learn in gov'ment schools! He may not show a whole lot by written tests and state scores- because I never give him "tests". We do a set up like they have on Millionaire where he gets to sit in the "hot seat". And he does real well.<br />My husband and I do family reads where we read REAL novels out loud- the classics which I'm sure are banned from public schools. Stories where there are actually morals and values, and you always know who the bad guy is compared to the good guy! Everything from Historical books about Robert E Lee and Francis Scott Key to Moby Dick, The Yearling and Gullivers Travels.<br />I get sad when people don't think they can teach their own kids. I'm the last one to think I am a great teacher- but I love my boy like no other, and we work with his strong subjects while still helping him at his own pace on his weaker subjects. I don't care if he's ahead or behind. He is where he belongs.<br />People worry about socialization. One of the other moms and her son joined us at a park last summer where there was a day camp going on. We watched the groups- all in perfect little age brackets, not allowed to interact with kids of different ages. It was sad- and so structured, we could actually see the boredom in many of the kids faces! In our group, we have pre k all the way to 12th grade, and ALL the kids interact. The older ones watch and play with the younger ones, and no one is left out. My son has more friends than I do at every grocery and other store we go to- because he can carry on a perfect conversation with someone of any age!<br />I'm sorry this is so long, but you've hit on another one of my passions here with this post. Thank you for the link too~ I will be checking it out!
