Sex ed for my daughter was an abstinence program, and the teacher was obviously pro-life and told the students the truth about how early the baby has a heart beat, brain waves, etc.) <BR/><BR/>There has been some homosexual behavior that she has seen at school, but then we have already seen it at a restaurant and WalMart, and the Comcast.net homepage this summer, so I still had to explain it to my children... yuck. <BR/><BR/>So what I always tell them, is that the world or school will tell you xy&z, but that is a lie. The truth is this, this, and this. I still hate that they are in a classroom hearing who knows what for so many hours, but the world will tell them nasty stuff eitjer now or when they're older. So either way I know I need to nurture my relationship with them and earn their trust so they will believe me when I tell them what I know to be true!!! I still hope I can homeschool my baby and any other kids I might have, though!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954183568187404211.post-14907518914009044182007-06-29T17:07:00.000-06:002007-06-29T17:07:00.000-06:00"I want to raise children who know how to think, i..."I want to raise children who know how to think, instead of children being taught what to think."<BR/><BR/>Great, and to the point, post once again.<BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954183568187404211.post-2962450142355417122007-06-29T14:10:00.000-06:002007-06-29T14:10:00.000-06:00From one homeschooler to another,,,VERY GOOD POST!...From one homeschooler to another,,,<BR/><BR/>VERY GOOD POST!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder of why to homeschool. lol it's always needed :)Theresa's Noteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928558505389698075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4954183568187404211.post-11353485305936600752007-06-29T13:17:00.000-06:002007-06-29T13:17:00.000-06:00P...Point well taken, I will try not to apologize ...P...<BR/>Point well taken, I will try not to apologize again!

The evidence is clearly there for all to see that they were wrong – and when evidence suggests that many parents are taking their own children out of main stream teaching in favour of home schooling – this alone should tell those Establishments they have many ‘failings’ which need to be addressed as a matter of urgency. <BR/><BR/>I have one criticism – and that is of the following:<BR/><BR/>You always say the word ‘Sorry’ in your posts.<BR/><BR/>Never say ‘sorry’ for something that you believe within your own heart and mind to be both right and to stand firm in your principles both as a parent and as a Christian.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
