My Personal Home Education Assault
All through this past weekend DH was on board with the fact that DS would be home educated again because of finances and the school practically lets the kids teach themselves.
twos-day came and I called the school to inform them and ask if since it is private and since he only came to summer session am I required to give an official withdrawal letter and the director there said that was not needed since we didn't officially enroll and they are not tied to the state's record reporting.
As soon as I got off the phone DH lays into me about how DS really did like going there and if he gets a better paying job he would pay for him to go. Then I went to my part time seasonal job at the Lawn care place and came home for 30 minutes and then went to Messianic Dance Team practice and then to my sister's since she asked me if I could come help with the twins and stayed there until 11 pm then came home to a grouch of a DH so I could sleep.
Yesterday I got up, walked an hour on the treadmill, took a shower and got ready for work. DS went with me since DH also had to work and while there I made DS do several pages in a grade level all-subjects- in- one workbook because we won't officially start AmbleSide back up until 9/21 for the new year and all.
DS also memorized 3 Bible verses for Awanas (T&T) and I took him to homeschool gymnastics at 3pm.
Then we came home, made dinner and then it was out to Awanas for him, Bible Study for me.
While I was out I saw DH's mom and she seemed friendly enough. Then I came home and DH way-lays into me that his mom called him and found out DS was not at the christian school and she really gave him a what for talk on how DS needed to be there and asking for my mom's phone number so they could pay for the school. And DH was telling me he read online that children should be reading when they are b/w the ages of 3-5 ((what tell that to Miss Mason and Miss Beechick and countless others)) and of course most people's big beef is the "interaction with other kids" aspect. Uh Hello the 4 kids he was at school with over the summer were the pastor and directors grandkids all brothers and sisters. DS could just hang with a family of siblings for the day or we could have some siblings for him if HE would bless and DH was in agreement....which he is only when I decide I'm ok with not having anymore but when I really want more then he tells me I'm a lousy mom and that's why I'm not blessed with more children.
So I tell DH that I ran into his mom and she didn't mention any of this to me and maybe she did call my mom and my mom informed her of the conversation I had with my mom where I told her that all summer it seemed like people were gloating about DS going to a school and basically saying I was a horrible failure of a homeschooling mom. They didn't say that but the giddiness over DS attending school says it just not with the exact words. Maybe my mom told her I felt people should apologize because the acceptance of me over the summer when before when I was trying to be a good housewife, stay-at-mom, home educator, etc it was like I was less than a person in their eyes, like I was "wasting" my life.
Why can't these people read on the benefits of home education, and no it's not so one's kids can be "better" than anyone else. Why can't they remember that just like all kids learn to walk, talk, use the potty, and ride a bicycle at different ages, that reading just clicks at not the same exact time either.
DS can read, he is still a "decoder" just not a "barely has to look at the word" to read fluently as all us adults are, let's remember back to when we were also "sounding out the words" and give the kid a break! Relax, know it will come in time.
May YHWH bless thee, and keep thee: May YHWH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: May YHWH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom. |

About Me
Charlotte Mason style Home Education Journey with One Dear Son who is praying to be a big brother and soon!
"He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a
joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD."-Psalm 113:9
"And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children." Isaiah 54:13
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk
in truth." --III John verse 4
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
---Proverbs 4:7
And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
--I Samuel 2:21
Praise be to YHVH who is weekly bringing those who hunger and thirst for the whole WORD,
not just what the church says is important....did you know the first century and then some
Believers knew that accepting the Messiah meant being grafted in to the Hebrew faith?
They didn't want to be called gentiles. Paul was always trying to show the physical and
non-physical Jews that they were all Jews spiritually. He many times said the law is not
void and I know those of you out there who say you are saved live by the 10 commandments and
of course the summary of Messiah's own words to love YHVH and then our neighbor....both just
ways of summing up all of Torah which really just expounds on the TEN. It wasn't until
those in authority started saying any caught Judaizing will be put to death that we stopped
observing the true Sabbath and stopped keeping the Feasts and started saying things like the
NLT says in Ephesians 2:15 that the Jewish law/system has been done away with...that's misleading.
The only thing done away with was the animal sacrifice needed to cover sins. Yeshua doesn't just
cover them, HE forgives them. What a truly AWESOME YHVH we serve!!! I pray everyone's ears and
eyes would be opened to desire to know and seek out the whole TRUTH and not just blindly follow
church leaders.
Praise Report:
thankful to have a DH and a DS. my guys!!
Back when I watched my cousins 4th child- Roger - I didn't think I was all that nice to him. But he's seen my and DS's picture at Nanna's and he says "that boy would not share his toys and his mommy told him that is not nice. I like his mommy she was very nice to me" :smile:
Prayer:
Unsaved loved ones to find/or to turn back to Yeshua. For Yeshua to reveal to them
the truth of Hebrew Roots so we can be in one accord. See I Corinthians 1:10
and if it's not too much to ask...I've had to endure hearing about several pregnancy announcements and birth announcements recently. I feel like I am dying inside. The pain is enormous. I really just want more children and HIS Word says they are the best type of physical blessing. I am not asking for riches or material things. I know all HE has to do is think/speak my body into being a "baby making machine" and it would be done. Praying for a miracle.
