Homeshooling in Sunny Florida
Mar. 8, 2007
We have access to the outside whirled!

Amazing! A computer that works...and a promise that the next time it breaks we get a new one. This is getting ridiculous!

We have these friends from Germany and they have 2 kids, ages 6 and 4. Their eldest they send to public school and can't understand why we homeschool. I never understood that until the fiasco with that poor homeschooling family over in Germany.

 Anyway, they put their 6 year old in kindergarten and were appalled at the behavior of the class as a whole. The principal would not meet with them to discuss this. Apparently the behavior was so disruptive that they weren't learning anything.

I tried to explain that this is one of the reasons we do homeschool. This has been going on since before Christmas. So now they finally got their son in another classroom and don't like that one either. Now they have him on a waiting list for the local Christian school.

I asked them why they wanted a change and they said becuase of the Christian curriculum and the kids behave better. They still don't know why we homeschool. These are not stupid people! Why don't they get it?

I sincerely think that they were subjected to this form of thought in Germany and it followed them over here. I hope they realize that Chris and I are not secluding Nick and all that other nonsense.

There's a huge homeschooling convention this May that we want to go to with these friends of ours (not the Germans :)haha and I hope we learn a little more and meet some new people. It's encouraging to go these conventions! They really help to reaffirm your duty to your kids and your spouse and God's plan for you!!
