I'm not sure what happened to our 60+degree weather, but its GONE and in place is some snow. It's not bad tho and really not sticking to the ground. Just about 60 miles west, (Nebraska) and North, they are predicting 6 inches of snow. Sorry NE people, but you can HAVE IT! I want to be done with winter. Even tho it doesn't last long, the snow, it'll be April 1st tomorrow, I don't want it!!

Today was a busy AM. I had 2 moms come over that home school. Then a friend of mine who home schooled their 3 children back in the day when it was really unheard of. B/w the 2 moms, and me, we had 12 kids here!! This place was a rockin. It went good tho. The mom with 7 kids, they are all so well behaved and really everyone had a blast. But I think the person who had the most fun was C'man. He was in his glory with so many kids to play with. There actually was only 3 boys out of the group.

I tried to keep everyone at bay so the mom's could talk, listen, etc. I did pop in from time to time and try to listen. I'm so on the fence about this home schooling. My friend Shannan told me yesterday that she heard a radio program where a mom just couldn't do some subjects herself. She found a retired teacher who she traded cleaning her house, for teaching subjects she wasn't comfortable in. Hmmm...how cool. i wonder if anyone would teach for purses???

I know we're NOT going to home school this upcoming school year. We are sending C'man to Pre-School. But we are staying open minded on both sides. Time will tell I guess. The main thing we as parents must do is stay vigilant in what our kids are learning. We need to read the books, study the material and really understand what they are learning AND if it meets our morals and ethics. Shannan told me that 75% of high school students loose there faith in HS. 95% loose it in college. That is absurdly high!!! But it makes sense. The public schools are taking every aspect of God out of there curriculum. They can't say how would God respond to that kind of behavior? Or do you think that was the right thing to do??

These thoughts of mine are NOTHING against the teachers. Let me make myself clear on that. As stated earlier, I have a BIL and SIL that are both teachers, and my other BIL is a College Professor. But what's happening, I feel, are the books are changing and the teachers are just teaching what's in the books. Not realizing what it's really saying, or noticing the direction things are going. The Government is becoming more and more involved and telling them how our children will be taught. It's no secret that many teachers/administration/etc are Democrats. Probably WAY more on both coasts then here. The Liberals are driving 99% of what are children are learning.

So yeah, the thought process in my head continues on. I want my kids to keep there faith and I will need to be more vigilant then EVER that every opportunity to talk about God and faith is discussed. When I subject my kids to 8 hours of 'learning' in a public school and as our country turns more and more away from the belief of that this Country was founded on, I may find it best to educate my kids right here at our kitchen table.

Not to mention that I guess now the big thing is teaching kids how to FEEL vs educating them!
