Everyone that home schools knows the many blessings of home schooling. I seem to keep finding more and more reasons. So many people that are against home schooling always come up with " They children need to interact with other children" I agree with that statement to a point. Children still need supervision....even the older ones....the older ones need as much supervision as the little ones do. In a different way ofcourse. I had a dear sweet mom friend of mine for about 18 years. We had our kids growing up together. She has five children, 4 boys 1 girl. Her 16 year old son has been kinda daiting a girl for about 3 months now. My friend has been on my heart for about 3 weeks now. Now I know why. Her 16 year old boy they thought...had gotten a 16 year old girl pregnant. He would walk her home from school to her grandmother's house and he would stay for a bit and well...ya know the rest. This is a good Christian family, who goes to church when ever the doors are opened. This family had a few boys that had some learning disablities, so in their elementry years she placed them in public schools. They stayed in public schools. In public high school the supervision is not very good if at all. This mom had all kinds of regrets in her children's education. That is what is so sad....It came too late. That boys innocents is gone now. She wishes now that she would have home schooled and paid more attention to details that she never paid attention to. I am not saying that if you do not home school, that your kids will all end up as parents by the age os 16. However...home schooling can be a huge help with parents in keeping certain tempations under control. You can have rules for dating and swear that your children know the rules and that they had better abide by those rules, but if the parents are not there to help inforce those rules then how will they be enforced and how do you know that temptations have not taken over? People press so hard to say that kids need to have their freedom....to make their own choices. Teens are still children and their own choices should still be monitored. It just sickens me to see so many children and young adults make such terrible mistakes because they were givin too much free choice. Well, it is time fore me to climb down from my soap box and get super on the table. Take care everyone and God Bless. |
