And just in case I didn't make it c...Ha thanks. And just in case I didn't make it clear, I don't think that just cause I pulled my kids that everyone should. Ecspecially those children who thrive in that setting. <br />And with rocking parents like my favorite Paperista standing behind them with a ruler and a timer. lol<br /><br /> My children are different than mainstream public. But there very best friends all go to public. Yes they have homeschooling friends but we have yet to find a family like us. Point being dyslexia stinks when no one wants to help till four years down the road.Sheena Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051514277330009954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072156480723044931.post-45851296308333733672010-09-27T14:57:20.664-04:002010-09-27T14:57:20.664-04:00I am a product of public education and I do believ...I am a product of public education and I do believe in it. I am hopeful that through parent involvement, accountability, funding (haha) and a critical look things could improve. Those are lofty goals! Over the last few years I have come to learn that not every family is a partner in their child's educational journey. I fear for those children and feel strongly that the disconnect for those kids begins and ends there. Congratulations to you my favorite homeschooling mama reader, for taking action into your own hands. Your commitment to your children and their journey is admirable. (I would fear teaching them math from 4th grade on....)Paper Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16039011142270479796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2072156480723044931.post-13323500969492016972010-09-27T13:42:12.013-04:002010-09-27T13:42:12.013-04:00Okay you know I am homeschooling mama. But I am no...Okay you know I am homeschooling mama. But I am not one that thinks that schools are just plain evil-incarnate. So that being said here's my thoughts.<br /><br />Schools will continue to fail because 1)we do not do core knowledge steps (this means while other countries teach a b c and then d, we teach b, d, a, and then c) 2)parents are expected to let the school lead their children instead of the parents leading the school 3)a lot of parents look at it as where the kids go so they can go to work.<br /><br />And the biggest thing is that children do not learn alike. Some are visual, some are auditory and some are mixes. Until they quit labeling children who aren't "cookie cutter" as learning disabled we will continue to lose children to giving up.<br /><br />Okay that's my thoughts agree or not.Sheena Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051514277330009954noreply@blogger.com
