#Homeschooling and the #Pandemic

I can't believe, but I can believe it's been over 10 years since I've posted here on this homeschool site.  I wanted to come back and at least share some inspiration even if it's a very short post!  We are going through the #pandemic and into about the fifth month!  I hope you all are doing good, in spite of the most amazing and strange times!  I will just leave this, for you, that I am praying for you.  If you are homeschooling, then I hope you are having fun with your children and making it as exciting as possible!  This is important! 

Home School Teacher Coach Mom

I home schooled my son off and on throughout his early life.  It started when he was in grade school.  I was a single mom.  I didn't want my son to be brainwashed with "their" agenda.  At the time I did not know anything about politics.  I was a Christian though and knew I wanted my son to not be a guinea pig for what the school system was doing to the children.  I had been to public school of course and knew what it felt like to be just a number, a part of a bigger group of about thirty kids and to feel like a nobody.

Being shy my whole life didn't help but I felt intimidated by the school system, their rules, their way of doing things.  It didn't feel right.  I was lonely.  Yet I did okay in school.  I didn't get all A's off course but I don't remember doing terribly bad in school.  But I do remember it was a struggle.  Well, it should be a struggle, but the struggle was coming from more on the inside, like fingernails on a chalkboard.

I'll talk more about that later.  I am not here to put down the public school system.  Maybe I can help find answers for all our hundreds, thousands, millions of school children everyday as they are hauled away, MADE to go to school by the system.  Obedience is not wrong, but let's take a deeper look into what is really going on here.

In the meantime.  I home schooled my son so that I had complete control over what was going into his brain.  Of course I didn't have complete control and didn't want that type of control.  A controller is a bad person that wants to take freedom away from the individual.  I did not do that with my son.  I allowed him to be his own person much of the time.  I allowed his natural talents to develop.  If he was going to be anybodies experiment he would be mine.  After all I was his parent.  I gave birth to him.  God gave me the responsibility to raise him.
