"Hillary Clinton says it takes a village to raise a child. I've seen the village; and I don't want it raising my child." - unknown
I saw this on someones blog today and it just gave me more confirmation that homeschooling is the only way to go for us. I do not want this world raising or educating my children. The Lord didn't bless me with children to ship off to other people to raise. I don't want someone else teaching my children their morals and values, religious beliefs and their idea of what an education is. That is my job. But then I got thinking about something my friend Monica posted on her blog about what a speaker said at a homeschool convention: We aren't the only ones raising our children or being their only teacher (something along those lines). The village is. Meaning, the minute we walk out our front door, our children are learning. Well, I shouldn't say just outside but also what we allow in our home meaning the computer and tv and friends. Our children are constantly learning about their surroundings and other people. Whether at the park or at the food store or on tv or from friends or even at church. They are learning!! And we need to be aware every minute of what are children are looking at or listening too or learning. The 'world' is tempting and I strongly believe in what the Maxwells - titus2.com says about sheltering our children. I don't agree 100% with everything they say but for the most part, I agree with a lot of it. They obviously are doing something right if ALL their children are following the Lord. I just saw a copy of Time magazine and on the cover it stated, Is homeschooling good for America? It should say, is America good for our kids? Don't even get me started. Alls I can say, if the family would come home again meaning, women would be willing to do as they were made to do and not try to be independent and if they learned to submit to their husbands and if husbands would love their wives with all their heart and be the provider that God made Him to be, this world would have less problems and not to mention a lower divorce rate.
So many people say: what's wrong with today's kids??? Well, the problem is their parents because they aren't raising them, other people are. Mom and Dad aren't home anymore. It's sad!
