Am glad to hear you're planning to home school your children. We live in California, a very liberal state where the public school system has "gone down the toilet," so to speak! Home school has been one of the best experiences for both my son and me. I would do it again in a heart beat.
My best to you and your children. Go for it!
In Christ,
Pat |

I know how bad CA's school systems are...Dad lives in LA, with my youngest brother
I'm glad the home-schooling is working out so well for you. We are praying by the time we have children in school (or just have children  ) we will be able to afford for one of us to stay home with them, because Indiana's school systems (especially the ones around here) are pathetic. In fact, I took myself out of school in high school and my mother allowed me to home-school myself through a correspondence program. That's how bad they are...not only in teaching poor attitude and destructive behavior, but in education as well.

During Christmas, teach your children about Jesus being God and he died on Christmas to watch away our sins. While Santa is a good man who used to give good gifts to children. He respect Jesus and thus, the children should respect Jesus, too.
Then, say that all gifts come from God.
Just my opinion. (Somehow, I joke less and less each day. Hmm... is it a sign of maturity? Nay, I think I just grow wiser.)

Reps: 58 (power: 0) | | | Hagiadzo, your Mom did well by allowing you to home school yourself in light of the poor quality of public education. When we used to live in LA, we wouldn't have thought of enrolling our son in any of the public schools there. It wasn't just the humanistic education but many of the kids had an attitude problem and many belong to gangs. The teachers are nothing but babysitters and can't control the bad ones. You probably heard all about it from your father.
We moved farther south and live in a conservative leaning area where the school systems are very good, but humanism is still prevalent here. The independent Christian schools are popular and many require being placed on a waiting list. Home schooling is still my first choice, however. You have control over the academic curriculum and Christian teaching.
Christian parents can't be too careful these days when it comes to their children's education and spiritual growth. I hope you'll be able to home school someday.
God bless. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | | | |
