The Homeschool Matrix

Homeschool


Some people wonder why we do it. Some people wonder how Tawna keeps her sanity without a "break" from the kids during the week. The general public never ceases to amaze me with it's level of moral depravity. I pose that it should be the homeschooling families asking public schoolers why they continue to allow other people take responsibility for their children. There are thousands of cases where teachers have over stepped their bounds with someone elses child.

For example....

There was a teacher in California (which as we know is the moral center of this country), who taught English and Social Sciences. This obviously moral and upright person (all "highly educated" people are) was having a somewhat recreational relationship with one of her students. This was not a Berkeley professor (surprisingly), it wasn't even a high school teacher (as you would expect). This 33 year old "educator" was having a physical relationship with a 14 year old MIDDLE SCHOOL student. The principal goes on record as saying "She is a great teacher, and this was a big surprise". I'm surprised only by the fact that they didn't add "Phys Ed" as one of her classes. There will be some long drawn out explanation as to why she continued it. She was molested as a child, mommy and daddy didn't love her, whatever. I'm sure that the BOY was a VERY mature 14. He was WAAAY past his Hannah Montana crush, his comic books and baseball cards. He was prepped and ready for his portfolio to take off and set his nest egg for the rest of his life. He had one paid off mortgage and another property the rent on the first one was paid for. NOT TO MENTION that he was fully prepared emotionally to handle all the garbage that comes with a physical relationship. 


Seriously, there are 30 year old MEN out there that aren't ready for a physical relationship. There is nothing that anyone can say that would justify what happened. how ludicrous.

ANYWAYS...


Why in the world would I risk the possibility of this happening to my sons or daughter? I know for a fact that this will not happen in my house. I also know exactly what my kids are learning, who they're learning it from, and how well they learn it. This is one of the many reasons we keep our kids at home for school. There are so many reasons to NOT put your kids in public school, and only to do it. needing a break from them before you go crazy? How fair is that to your kids that you are gifted with? Think about that.

"I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... you're afraid of homeschoolers. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell you how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then I'm going to show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a school without bells. A school without classes and desks, without buses or boredom.  A school where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you."
