Schooltime.
we made the decision to:
wait for it.......
send our boy to Public school.
collective gasps all around.
Why public school?
don't you know homeschooling is an option?
don't you know christian schools are an option?
do you know what they teach in a public school?
i know.
we're the minority - or at least it seems as though thats the fact these days.
especially in the Christian circles.
i know great people who were homeschooled, and attended Christian, and even, public schools..
i also know weird people who did each as well.
Sure, my son may be taught things in the public school curriculum that i do not agree with or goes against our values and beliefs.
i have to remember what my husband reminds me of:
i have to trust God.
I need to give our kids into God's care as they leave our house and go out the door each day.
I need to be pro-active in knowing what our kids are learning at school.
i am their mother.
I am their caregiver.
but
i am also their teacher.
and just because I send my kids 'to the wolves' it doesn't mean i relinquish my role as teacher too.
i can't back off and expect them to learn everything they need to know from their teachers or friends.
i need to be involved. I need to teach the Biblical Truths so they are able to make wise decisions and choices as they grow.
i love my kids.
we have decided to send them to public school.
who knows, maybe homeschooling might be an option, but currently it is not.
Good for you, Michelle! I've always been a huge fan of the public school system partnered with active and involved parenting.
ReplyDeleteSomeone wise once said, "Assess your kids schooling every year, per child." Meaning, schooling might look different for each of your children, depending on where they're at and from year to year.
But yay you! And yay Elijah!
you can't take all the christians out of the public schools. what kind of a ministry would that be? Just my opinion- Kristen
