Still been working on slimming
down and loving myself as I am
(which is a work in progress)
Nothing new really
Still loads of stress and running
errands, making doctor appointments
for the kids and homeschooling now.
That's probably the biggest change
lately... Mommy-nurse-manager-of-four-super-mom
is also adding the teacher hat to her headfull
of hats. I decided to do homeschooling
first and foremost because I feel like putting
kids in public school nowadays is basically like
this poem...
FIRST DAY OF PUBLIC SCHOOL
by: Stephanie Josiah 9/20/2011
"Congratulations, your kid is now a statistic...
65% more likely to succumb to peer pressure,
snort crack, produce offspring as a tween, sell reefer,
bully other students and/or be bullied by other students,
cuss like a sailor and become jaded before the age of
twelve! Oh and did I mention run into teachers who hate their jobs
hate God, and all His little creatures especially children... yet
the students only crime is being stuck there for what?... seven hours
a day only to get squeezed out of the cold
heartless institution that is public school with a passable
grade point average... leading to the crumbling moment of
having his/her dreams crushed when those far away, unattainable
college goals get shut down and he/she ends up kickin' it in a two-year local,
whilst flipping burgers for the King... or Pancakes for IHOP.
Or maybe let's say they DO get into a four year university somewhere
and graduate Super Suma Cum Freakin' Laude... get an apartment that
they can barely pay for because all their degrees in Physics or BioScientoWhatever
that sounds really super awesome on paper (that framed piece of paper above the mantle)
can't even keep their heat on and flipping burgers was the only available job.
I'm just saying."
I believe that education is essential, but honestly, there has to be a better way to set people up for actual success.
