As long as you catch up your children conversation with other kids(they all must not see you or know that you are listening...OK not suggesting that you spy your kids ) where they say something about you that really makes them proud and that they are loving you because you are their dad... then you really make something. You are making them become men or women...and that is a tough job .

[Peace of mind]

Teachers do make a difference, unfortunately much of the material being thought in these organize learning institutes may be detrimental. And it also may be the (disruptive) students subconscious protecting its mind from absorbing the inaccuracies that’s being programmed into the minds of the youth. What’s being cultured in these schools is how to stay confined to their system.

There’s an influx of young bright individuals (probably Indigo and Crystal Children) failing in today’s school systems….ever wonder why? Well, most of us know the body heals itself, so maybe the brains deterrence of this info is seen (by so called professionals) as having a predisposition …therefore naming the child un-teachable and a distraction instead of a thinker or innovator. Something to ponder…

As far as teaching morals, responsibilities and respect for self and others…teachers can, and often do play a big part in that.

That's funny...I had a long conversation with my 5 year old last night about how the dinosaurs really did not die out entirely and that Daddy thought there were still smaller Brontosaurus' in Africa and Pterosaurs in Texas.

Of course when she repeats that in school she'll be laughed at and "corrected" by the teacher.

I'm wrestling with all this as we speak because I'm getting to enroll her in kindergarten.

A great question...
Honestly, i have very little faith in the public system here in Canada...

i am hoping to help pay for my grandsons private education...which is a step up...but... Homeschool seems to be the best choice if you want to teach your children to follow in your steps...

I am the product of the private school system (catholic) and I have never suffered more abuse and false teachings in my entire life...

Home School it is then....

Thanks Celine....that was easy...lol

Hmm i am very sad to know that happened to you...

Yes perhaps the private school suggestion is not as good as the Home school one...though i am sure there are many horror stories about that as well...just do your best...

I am sorry for you and Catholic schooling... makes people puke on the very idea of God and Christ and rest since you wanted or not, connect God to beatings in school or sexual abuse...

I hope that they did not do any of that things to you ...
I hope my friend...



I am maybe a bit off topic here but I had to say my bad on that kind of "schooling" you wrote.

I am sure you are being good dad!

I got the beatings but not the sexual abuse...that was saved for home.

All gone like a long lost nightmare..Peace friends

Thoughts???

1)homeschool?
2)or counter act with evening conversations to correct (internet treasure hunting)
3) or bolster up creative thinking with lots of praise and support for individualism.
4) weekend arts and crafts projects (imagination possibilities -what if?)
5) history timeline
6) (find old books/articles for accurate info) ( http://www.accelerated-achievement. com - $100 for full school curriculum k-12 CD)

Thanks XBM...I'll check out this site!!

[Céline]

i am so glad you found some answers on this thread StarGazer...

That is what i believe poetry is for...create a difference, make you think and feel something

[xbusymom]

Stargazer,
I also just remembered the free PDF "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" that gives loads of info how we got to this point... and why

http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com.../DDDoA.sml.pdf

[Céline]

i am so glad this thread went in this direction.

i wish i had home schooled my kids..Not many teachers out there like Talor Mali.

How old, would the oldest home school graduates be at this point do you think?

[Céline]

this video is worth sharing with any teacher, student...or lawyer ..that you might know

[THE eXchanger]

we know quite a few people,
who choose home schooling~and, it did make a huge difference

most of the knowledge out there ~ is incomplete/and, is missing

which means, the mother/or the father ~ are always, the best teachers

as, celine says ~ if you can put your truths, into the making,
of the ones, who, when we are old, will be handling this world,
imagine, what a great world, we could be in

we are all for home schooling

my cousin, successfully, home schooled 4 children

and, all of them, are 3.5 out of 4 (in universary today)

1 graduated, and, 3 still going

(also, we believe, continuing educations
like college/trade school/universary, etc.,
should be FREE to everyone)

also, we think, there are a lot of things
kids, should be exposed to
art/music, etc.,
learning to do things with their hands
woodworking- crocheting, knitting, sewing, cooking etc.,
learning how to interact with others
lots of lots of activies, out in nature / as, well as, team sport etc.,

so much, parents can do

when was the last time, you took your kids
out into nature,
or, stopped to listen to crickets/or, loons on a lake,
(who make 3 funny sounds)
or, just stopped to listen to the sound of rocks/and, stones
in a brook/river/or stream

yes, parents can do, so much more, than anyone else can do

your kids, celine; and; richard, are so very lucky
to have the two of you, as, their parents

pretty amasing, we are sure, to become grandparents, etc.,

so much the grandparents, can teach, the children

yet so many of them, are stuffed alone, and, into old age homes

what a world, we are in !!!

ps; once in awhile we go up the street to the old age home,
to take books, etc., locked in there, are some of the greatest people,
one could ever meet - if you ever have idle time on your hands,
go to a place like that, for 1 or 2 hrs

ask at the front desk,
is there anyone in here, who never gets guests,
and, that you would love to go visit them,
we can tell you, some of these,
poor dear old souls ~ will be very happy you stopped by
and/or volunteer a few hours a week, in an old age home
just to help them out

Thank you dear..and yes it is a great pleasure to be a grandma as well... and it is a very different role then being a parent...

[Shaynard]

My daughter attends public school and she is very quick to question much of what she is being taught. She has been termed a "problem child" at the school because she ''asks too many questions".

This happens because she is taught at home as well. Together we often go over what she's being taught in class and encouraging her to question it. I offer any different points of view I can come up with.

So a combination of home and public schooling seems to be working well for her.

In light, of love
Shaynrd

Public school is a mess...worse then the health care system...and i am Canadian!!

speak with conviction

[Céline]

Anyone else out there like slam poetry? i find it has such passion

[aroundthetable]

The world is in great need of teachers, teachers of true reality, of the existence and eternal nature of the soul and not the teachers that take our children and mould them into corporate fodder for the system of greed and materialism.
