I have yelled at my son lots of times. I can't make decisions anymore because I married a man I thought was godly, but turned out to be treacherous. Because of my apparent lack of discernment and countless failures in all areas of life since, and advice from "experts", I put my son into the local public middle school instead of homeschooling this year. I had no idea there would be so much opposition: legalism and apathy from staff and administration, an increasingly urban atmosphere and emphasis on not thinking. My son did not want to go to this school, but I could'nt decide what was best. So having no confidence in myself and no direction for homeschooling, I took him to that place. He's smart and I felt I was keeping him at an academic disadvantage, but according to testing done at school, last year he learned as much with me at home, having no experience, as the other kids learned in public school. We used to have time to go to the gym and take walks in the park. We don't now. There's more tension because of all the meetings and phone calls and lack of cooperation from the school. I know there are times when parents must take their children to a public or private school (We also had a bad experience with one of those), But my fear made me send my child somewhere icky...more guilt, shame, self-loathing. I just wanted to thank you for the insight and let others know our experience. One question: Have you ever completely given-up on God? I have become afraid of many things.

I so enjoyed hearing your heart. Your motives behind the HOW Approach are in alignment with things I have been taught over the last few years; I am quite interested. I would also like to know how you approach Math. Thank you for your faithfulness. Oh please definitely do more podcasts. I so enjoyed hearing your heart.

This sounds like a very interesting podcast. I am a homeschooler of 6 children and enjoy anything that pertains to that. I wanted to listen to the podcast (well, actually download because I have turtle-net) but it is telling me I am at a broken link. Is it just me or is the link truly not going where it should? Thanks for any help! BLessings, Mona Hello! This sounds like a very interesting podcast. I am a homeschooler of 6 children and enjoy anything that pertains to that.
