I found a group of homeschoolers in my area and yesterday. A diverse group that plans outings, trips, and other gatherings. I am really excited because some of them I have met round and about at certain places and didn’t know they home schooled.
I think I am going to treat myself to a trip to Barnes and Noble in a little while to see what if I can find some updated material about home schooling. I have been given some books but the information was a outdated. I gave my old books to my neighbor.
The books I have read astounded me. The failure rates and the poor education in the 90′s were astronomical at least in my eyes. They quoted it cost millions of dollars to train people to do skilled manufacturing jobs. Applicants have very little grasp of english and have trouble following simple written instruction.
Sure I could send my children to fancy, expensive private school. I’ve heard the same complaints about private schools. People are so caught up in the name that they have lost sight of the real goal…quality education. Why should I pay big bucks to send my kids to strangers. It still bothers me that I have sent my kids to people who I don’t know and don’t even like. What kind of message is that sending. I don’t voice my opinions around my kids. My husband and I have the same opinions. We are both on the same page when it comes to the care of our kids. Thank goodness…without his encouragement I know I couldn’t embark on home educating my kids.
Anyhow…I must go and get ready to go to Barnes and Noble. I have to work over the weekend but I will try to write a few paragraphs. I have an app on my iPhone to update this blog…I love technology.
