You ever have one of those childish moments where you have the intense urge to stick out your tongue and go " Na Na Na Na Na!" to those around you ? Yeah I am having one of those moments today. I have decided to leave my big girl pants off for the time being stick out my tongue and mentally think IN YOUR FACE to all those who claim I am " unqualified" to properly homeschool my children, and then claim I should leave their education to the " professionals".
Besides the fact that I 100% feel that Americas Education System is lacking in MANY areas, and our testing scores as a nation are proof of this. I also feel that the education system is "dumbing down" our children AND their potential to great leaders in society. We are teaching our kids to be followers with today Conveyor Belt form of eductions, not leaders. Ever see the documentary The Agenda? No? You should watch it. I realize that not everyone has the means or ability to homeschool their kids, and trust me, I feel VERY blessed to be able to accomplish this and do NOT take this responsibility lightly. Even in public schools there are things as parents that we can do, to encourage leadership potential, instead of having them just be another sheep in the flock. And to be clear I dont blame the Teachers ( most of them anyway ) for the lack of high test scores in our kids either. They only follow the Curriculum they are told to give. And THAT is why my kids are and will be homeschooled. Again, if you have not seen it yet I highly recommend watching the Documentary called The Agenda, Grinding Down America, and you will see what I am referring too. Sure some of you will watch it and roll your eyes shrug your shoulders and laugh saying...Just another conspiracy theory nut job movie. But some of you will watch it and see it for what it really is.
NOW back to my real reason for this post. Last week, I had a phone conference with Charity and Kaileighs online teachers that set up their daily lessons for me to do with them and to make sure that they are where they need to be lesson wise. Again today I had one for Ashton as well. ALL of my kids, ALL of them, are AHEAD of where they should be, or where the Nation feels they are supposed to be acedemically. They exceed all areas of their studies. And this is from kids who are being homeschooled by what some of society deems an "unfit" mother to do so. So yes I will sit and have my Na Na Na Na Na moment and relish in the fact that I am doing a great thing for my kids and the education. I am PROUD to be homeschooling, and I am GREATFULL as well to be able to have the means and opportunity to do so. As with most parents we all want what is best for them, and albeit what others seem to think, I do NOT take there education lightly, and it is for that very reason that we have decided that this is what is best for THEM!
