Yesterday, my DH & I deep cleaned our school room (A.K.A. the laundry room, the computer room).  We found things tucked - or stuffed - away that we had forgotting about.  Things we hadn't seen in years.  LOTS of memories after 16 years of homeschooling.

It surprised & some-what saddened me that the girls didn't want to keep certain things; and as I don't want to be a pack-rat, I didn't keep them, either.  We are keeping certain things b/c of sentiment & b/c  our girls will most likely homeschool their children (HOPING that it is STILL LEGAL by then).  Books and resources covering all age/grade levels; particularly those wonderful old readers that were once my grandmother's or my mother's or mine; and especially the McGuffey Reader's, Ray's Arithmetic, classics & old home-keeping manuals. 

But there are other books and resources we are keeping for other reasons.

We are keeping their high school History, Government & Science books b/c, as things are changing so quickly in America, even IF homeschooling should be legal when our DDs homeschool their children, we fear that it will be strickly controlled.  They may not be able to purchase books and resources containing GOD'S TRUTH about the Sciences or they may contain even more revisionist history than our public schools already spew.  We want our children to be able to teach our grandchildren TRUTH.  God's truth, as it applies to these subjects. 

We continue to pray for our beloved America, but we look to the East, as well.

Blessings from Ohio, Kim Wolf<><

It is so true, that even if homeschooling is still legal in the future, it may very well be strictly controlled..which is sad. In the curriculum we are using now, it is very history based. We have covered things in our history studies that I was never taught growing up. Many times, I have just sat there trying to read it to my girls and have cried...beautiful, wonderful stories of God's love as He has watched over so many of our founders...NONE of it was ever taught to me in public school (obviously). It just moves me so much to read these stories and to see just how much God truly had a hand in the founding of our country. Things in America are getting so much worse, so quickly now. I truly fear for what future generations will be taught.
