It is the Second day, and my husband tried to back out of homeschooling. I think he is getting a little overwhelmed. He said "what if we screw up and he learns nothing, then he will be even worst off". My response was "worst as in a happy, self- confience child that not begging us to please let him stay home and faking sick all the time."
Its a chance I'm willing to take.
I have already turned down a very great job offer( my former employer wants me back). I'm in this for the long haul or when the kids decide they want try public or private school again. I think my husband is scared that we will be keep him from the daily social activites. I don't feel my child should have deal with the bullies of the class, just because the teachers think he extra senstive.
Please!! He can stay home and get beat up by his two year old sister. At least I can control her (a little), but she loves her brother and basically worships him. She only strikes out when he take something from her.
I met up with my support group again today. Their were have a curriuluem sale between the members. I pickup some great items , that I feel are going really help us. and the prices were amazing. I didn't get to stay to long, had meeting desi at the bus stop. last day of school for him. Yee!!
Well, I'm done for the day, I have only had two hours of sleep. It's time for me to crush. |

As to social skills, the oldest spent a year in Australia, ended up singing before a crowd of 2000 people, is married to a fellow home schooler and planning a family of her own. The middle one will be competing professionally in June and has received the award for the highest teacher/student ratio for three months in a row. The youngest ran a political telephone center consisting of 8 adults under her when she was 15 years old. Sounds impressive but none of this would have been possible had they been in the system. All three as adults insist that they will home teach and thank me regularly for home teaching. Short of this sounding like a commercial, I really do recommend you get my book 'Thriving in the Home School--A Parent's Guide' because it talks about some of the things your husband is worried about. Have a great day and I offer a prayer right now.
Dear Father,
I lift this family up to you and ask you to let them know what your will is for their children. You love our children more than we ever could but you have put them in our care so we ask you to guide us with wisdom. This is an endeavour that requires both parents' involvement so Lord, we ask that you put this couples' minds at ease over where you are leading them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
