Quick? Easy way out?

Let me clue you.

You pat yourself on the back for your "involvement" at your kids' school. Fine. Try this:

Stay home, for YEARS, get up every day and try to teach 4 or 5 kids in different grades......simultaneously. Keep meticulous records. Each child has about 12 textbooks, no matter the grade. Figure out ways to do without lab facilities, etc., and still prepare your kids for college. No sleeping in, no soap operas.........you and the kids......for hours every day.

Try that with seven kids for over 18 years as my wife has (I assist as needed; I'm the one who works outside the home so that she can do this).

TELL me about "easy way out"..............

:) It is so worth it though. LOL, I have not even watched a soap in years nor do I care to any longer. Kid's are wonderful. We only get them for a short while. I am going to enjoy every minute of it too.

I know, I have a friend that does it in New Mexico because the school systems sucks there, she homeschools 4 children all different ages also. I commend her for it. She has to be there because that is where her husbands job sends them. But it isn't that easy for everyone to drop everything and do, not to mention the fact that unfortunately I myself could never homeschool because I don't have the patience or organizational skills. My point is that it isn't for everyone, just like public school isn't for everyone, and private school isn't either. Every child is different. You see something wrong my first reaction is to try and get it fixed, so that no one else is hurt. And yes I do pride myself and so do my children, and my childrens schools want parents there and there is nothing wrong with that.
