Jun. 12, 2008 - best for your child
In our area they have just built a new middle school. They've decided that 5th graders now have to leave elem school and go to the middle school through 8th grade.
It got me thinking - schools never really do what is best for your child. It's what is convient to them - for the buildings, textbook purchases, for the masses. Politicians demand "progress" and want to see the most number of kids passing tests (standardized which benefit those companies that produce and grade them). What if your child "falls behind"? What if your child has special needs?
When I taught, I clearly saw how it was so hard not to just teach to the middle! I'm so thankful I found homeschooling and can do what is best for my child!
On another note, I just started writing a devotions for homeschoolers. I know there are some but I still want to write one just to re-assure myself (when family attacks!) Does anyone want to see the rough draft and tell me what they think? If so, email me at tuscanspeak@yahoo.com
Gracias!
