Wow – passing on your ignorance and prejudices to your children via home schooling. I suppose what I believe to be Christian beliefs and attitudes and what you believe, are two different interpretations.

We have very similar reasons for homeschooling. Though I can say that I do have some bias having already put two older kids through public school. I didn’t have many choices back then, but I do now. And you’re right… you do become strangers. PLUS, one of my biggest pet peeves is homework.

I just enrolled in a charter that offers on-site electives and labs. Perfect for me to be able to do some errands or just have some me time. It works out great for us.

Glad I came by for a visit!

I enjoyed your post about why you homeschool. I could have written the same words, myself! Especially the, “because I can” part, and the “rebel”. Were two peas in a pod in that regard!

I homeschool for many of the same reasons you do. It’s hard to believe these things are really happening in schools without alot of protest. If it was a statue of Jesus, wow, the smoke would be filling a courtroom even before any dust settled onto the statue of Jesus….America was at one time, at Christian Nation, based on the bible. Look at the mess we are in!!!

Can you imagine if it was a Christian bookstore across the street of that school that tried to gift a bible in another language for use as an educational tool? Imagine the uproar. Oh, that’s right…the Christian bookstore owner wouldn’t have even been invited to speak at the school like this particular store owner had been.

Many Blessings,

Oh my, oh my Now what would have happened if someone would have brought in a 8 foot tall Jesus into the school? Somehow I doubt that would have went over well or stayed in the school. Something really wrong with our country. I have so many reasons I will homeschool…one day I’ll share them on my blog.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I read through your various posts on Eat, Pray, Love and I must say, I’m impressed! I really did enjoy this book (even though I thought I’d hate it) but her belief system just made me sad. What really made me sad is that so many women are raving about this book and (I believe) they are completely soaking up her beliefs. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a book like this were written by a Christian? This book is EVERYWHERE – bookstore, blogs, book clubs, news … just imagine the impact that a Christian book could have, given that level of national attention.

I’ll be posting my own review after my book club meeting in early August. I hope you’ll come back over and check it out.
