Denali is now Homeschooled!

Well, I finally decided to just keep Denali home and school her. I am , as I suspected I would be, unhappy with the lack of education offered her in public school. I know she wanted to be a "regular middle school" kid, but I just don't like what she's NOT learned this year. I also have noticed many changes in her attitude. The last straw was a text message I recieved from my daughter Friday: "Mom, I may be late, we are on lockdown. " "WHAAAAAAT???" was my returned text message. Apparently someone robbed a 7-11 and ran with a gun to the Middle School. Terrific. I have never been so scared in my life. They caught the man. Still, I'm done. She's home learning with Aidan and I . She will really miss Dance and Peer Tutoring. I will try to find her a dance class. As for peer tutoring, maybe I can find a place for her to volunteer and help out kids with special needs. She will be starting at home full time next Monday. This week is the Iowa testing and it's required by law in this state.. so I decided just to let her take it at the middle school and then withdraw her. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Hug your kids a little closer today.. for today's world can be scary! I am thankful that Denali and the rest of the students are safe from Friday's scare. :)
