This is a subject I feel very strongly about, we who have children are so incredibly blessed. Do you remember how much having children changed you? It’s a connection and a love that simply cannot be explained to someone that doesn’t have children. It’s an instant life changing connection and a bond that is so special that I’m kind of tearing up just writing this, it changed my life for ever. Why on earth would I want someone random person shaping my children’s lives for me? No person will ever have the connection with your child that you have. These are your children they are a product of your love, your experiences, your hard work, they are your responsibility, it is your responsibility to shape them to educate them help them become good, caring, hard working, honest, Loving people, to help them become better versions of you by admitting your mistakes and explaining consequences to them, by loving them to in a way that it is impossible for them to be loved in a public school setting. Think about, public school is the biggest slap in the face to the gift of being a parent that there is. Public school says that all kids are the same, and should be taught the same thing to prepare them to become wage slave in a forced work force!!!! By doing your job as a parent and accepting responsibility for your kids, you get to see what they excel at and help them build on that instead of forcing them to learn the same as everyone other kid. Public school does not create people it creates something else, it’s toxic, and let’s be honesty almost everything in those text books is a lie, how can we tell kids that things happened if we were not there ourselves to witness these things happen? You can’t sugar coat that, if you didn’t see it for your self you can not know the details, you can read what is said in those textbooks all day but can not call it truth, because you don’t know that it is for sure. This is another major problem with public school, all facts are subject to change upon examination from a different perspective. There are not many real facts, what is most important is to teach our children what it means to be honest, and the responsibilities that come with being in a family, the importance of hard work, also how to be passionate about everything they chose to investigate, how to question everything, how to do there own research to narrow down truth, how to problem solve, how to watch for people who want to take advantage of them, how to defend themselves, how to do the the right thing, the truth about what government actually is, capable of destroying everything, responsible for genocide, responsible for planning, executing, and funding wars, constantly researching new ways to cause death, responsible for all forms of debt, entitled to take as much of anything they want from you, land, money, mineral rights etc, entitled to control every aspect of your life and know exactly where your are every second of your life, never willing to accept accountability but always willing to hold you accountable, oh and they say that they have to lie to you for your protection, and they mandate school curriculums!!! Again it’s our job to teach our children the importance of honesty, lying is not ok?!! Oh and the most important part things we can teach our children, there gut instinct is a gift from the one and only God, and his son Jesus Christ came to teach us the truth and save us from our sins!! He gave the ultimate sacrifice out of pure love to make us a path to heaven by dying on the cross!! This is where I stand on public schooling, god bless!!!

My son missed third grade. Same story as you, but I couldn't teach him well. My child is ADHD and refused lessons at all.

I want to homeschool through high school or GED is acquired. Junior high is rocky so far, but the special ed classes help so much. Is there homeschool special ed?
