And you know what? God made each of them the way they are, and I'm learning to accept that. God has a plan for each of them, so I'm trying to focus on that instead of "oh my gosh my 12yo is still learning his times tables."Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073494749323285769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-17809457480623148342009-04-28T14:24:00.000-05:002009-04-28T14:24:00.000-05:00Chun Wong, I appreciate the encouragement!!
Julie...Chun Wong, I appreciate the encouragement!!<br /><br />Julie, I had to ruefully laugh at your comment. You know, you're the type that would probably tell Joe Public to jump in a lake. You've been through so much with Marissa that I imagine you must have super-thick skin by now.<br /><br />Luke, your mom's newsletter was awesome but couldn't find a link to pass on to others in the "grandparent" section of my post. :]<br /><br />Zimms, that's just it. Whatever works!! <br /><br />Tammy, sorry, you don't. You are awesome in your work with Pamela!! Awesome.<br /><br />DF your kids and mine have somehow been hanging out secretly. Except mine pronouce words they've read but never heard spoken... very... very strangely.<br /><br />Ganeida, if you pay shipping, we'll take her!<br /><br />Sue, I wonder if Tono has ever been to the US to experience being the weird foreigner for himself? That would be fun!

But, Joe Public has never, ever confronted me. That job is left to my mom and younger sister. They think I should send all my kids to school and go back to work -- cause apparently keeping my house clean and teaching my children isn't work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-51074784769091251482009-04-28T09:22:00.000-05:002009-04-28T09:22:00.000-05:00I was almost concerned for a minute there, and the...I was almost concerned for a minute there, and then I read "...homeschoolers in the news are..." and realized everything was okay. The news is--to quote one reporter--just there to kill time between commercials, so they have to come up with the most titillating stuff. So it's no surprise that they don't report about us. We're too boring.<br /><br />Abusers and six year old professors? Now that's <I>interesting</I>.<br /><br />And so we end up with a rather skewed view of the world.<br /><br />Here's to us completely abnormal normal homeschoolers [smile].<br /><br /> ~LukeLuke Holzmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799632321310461828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-31600281243948911722009-04-28T09:14:00.000-05:002009-04-28T09:14:00.000-05:00Us too!

I think we would fit right in. Over here I have the advantage of being the "weird foreigner". Everything about me is different, so why not education choices too? Oh, and I am so much better prepared to educate my children because I used to teach English conversation. Yeah, that's it.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09508033779758406137noreply@blogger.com
