“They are only 7, 9 and nearly 13, all know about their teachers and every night we go over what their teachers told them today”
Good for you!
“Having a gun store is not as more powerful or as influential as being a judge, Lawyer, professor, running for president etc.”
Very true. If you are suggesting professions of influencing the *law*, we badly need elected officials from non-law backgrounds. Most politicians are lawyers. We need business people, doctors, scientists, engineers, etc. to run for office. Running against “the system” would be a good platform to campaign on. Having a law background only means they are in the club already.
If you’re thinking of suggesting professions to influence the *mind*, I would think media. Writing, public speaking, broadcasting. Traditional journalism is on the way out, but there will always be a place for people who can get up and speak to a crowd. Look at the influence Glenn Beck had with that rally.
If I had kids the ages of yours I would get them into reading US history like crazy. Especially reading what the Founders wrote, the primary documents. The correspondence between Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams is wonderful. Jefferson’s writings. Washington’s writings. I would get my mind into the Founders’ minds, and then bring my kids into that.
The only way the liberals can tell their lies is because very few people have ever read what those men wrote.
I’ll bet you’ve got pretty good kids.
Thanks and good post I see your post.
I know many parents say this with a bias but every time we go oiut etc we get told it is nice to see kids with manners and how to behave in public.
all A’s honor roll students, never been in trouble with any teacher, always go to parents night which sometimes I’;m the only father.
Oldest was in the boxing state championship
Youngest has been picked to play in the best of the best in the state north east soccer and daughter is just starting to take music and learn guitar.
Most of all all of them know the dangers of indoctrination by teachers.
They know their manners and treating people how they like to be treated are important though they sometimes forget when it is to each siblings.
They know what a proper family is about and about kids who do silly things for attention or girls who do not respect themselves at my oldest sons age.
As for history, well I love history and my oldest has been picked many times to talk to the class about certain historic subjects like the founding fathers.
Right now he takes the constitution to school every day and gets it out for school, thankfully he has a great history teacher unlike last year where he had to correct her a few times respectfully.
LOL Even the intern in his class from college has said my oldest knows more than most of his college pals.
The other two are being taught off me the war for southern independence right now before they get taught it at school.
