I have been pondering home schooling for a good year and a half. I have researched as much as I can find. This past week I have really been trying hard to hold on until the christmas break, but when I saw my little 4th grade daughter sitting at the table this morning with tears running down here face I knew it was time to take action!! I have to admit I am scared I have a 4th grader who struggles and has special needs and a 6th grader who Academically test out at 8th and 9th grade levels but has special need as well. I am so happy to know that thier is so much support out there for people who home school!! Thanks for the kind reassuring words! Suicide: My Thoughts on One Case - Blog Entry25 Nov 2007 11:50 PM WOW! I found this to be so powerful! I am so glad to hear you talk this way about suicide and your thoughts on it being a selfish act or not. We are not to judge others and this was put so perfectly! We are to love one another! Thank you for this. I hold this topic dear to me! Gospel Questions: Why Don't Mormons Use Crosses? - Blog Entry25 Nov 2007 11:04 PM I really like the way you put this! I have had that question thrown at me 100 times! I am going to read this to my children. My daughter had been given a cross for a necklace by a friend, now it was beautiful but my daughter seemed confussed and didn't know what to say to her friend and their family. I felt bad because I didn't want to hurt their feelings. Thank you for this wonderful blog! Tips for Teachers: Pencils - Blog Entry25 Nov 2007 10:36 PM I must say I can understand the frustration of pencil sharpening in the classroom. However I have a son who is very OCD and has to have his pencil sharpened very well and for some reason he needs his pencil to be very small. I use to try to "fight" this battle, but have come to realize if we leave it alone and allow him to do this his work is always perfect. He is in 6TH grade and in all academic areas he test out anywhere from 8Th to 10Th grade level. We have given him a small sharpener for him to keep at his desk and that seems to work well for all. |
