 You can sit back and ask this question to yourself, you first have to go and look at the curriculum that home school programs offer versus public schools. Than factor in all the politics that goes on in the schools upper crust society that decide if your kids will learn about the subjects, or learn how to pass the state tests. Let’s look at some of the issues that some parents have when they think of homeschooling. 

  v      No social interaction with other children.

          v      Teacher available to answer questions?       

      v      What about physical education?

        Those are a few concerns that parents have, I know there are more, here’s some information related to those concerns.

  v      Think about the kind of socialization experiences you want for your child. Your home schooled child need not be limited to the artificial community of his or her peers that’s offered in the formal school environment, but rather, can benefit from a wide variety of interactions and relationships.

  v      Contact your public school about having your child participate in whatever extracurricular activities it offers. Many districts welcome the participation of homeschooled children in sports teams, clubs, theater productions and other activities. (You may have to sign a waiver releasing the school from responsibility for your child.)    

      v      Consider the same kinds of resources you would if your child were in a traditional school environment. Many township organizations, nonprofit groups, and clubs such as bands and orchestras, scout troops and 4-H have chapters devoted to homeschooled kids. If not, your child can still participate “after school,” like everyone else.     

      v      Join a local homeschool group. Most offer a broad range of activities, including field trips, where your child can benefit from group interaction.     

     v      Take advantage of the flexibility homeschooling offers. Socialization could mean bringing your child with you to one of your own church or community group activities, or having lunch with Grandma. 

       Ask local resources such as art centers, skating rinks and music schools about offering instruction and/or use of their facilities to your homeschool group. Often, their staff and facilities are idle during regular school hours, and they might welcome the chance to get some use from their resources.  This is one of many articles that I will be writing for anyone who is interested in homeschooling. So, is homeschooling better than public schools? That is a question only answered by what school your child attends. The differences in curriculums, teacher’s salaries, and the politicians in your state, have a big impact on if you get a warm fuzzy on how your child is being educated

    Do you know anyone with MS (Multiple Sclerosis), if so I recently went to a sight that talks about working out for people with MS. The sight Kansas And Friends In Weight Loss is not actually located with the title and a dot com with it, it is at http://joe.bloggingexpertise.com/.

The sight has a lot of great tips on exercises and keeping ones body in shape. For me it is easy for the job that I have, it makes me keep in shape, but for some people finding time to do some exercises is hard to do. There are  some articles that point out some great ways to keep tone by doing some simple things around the house.  

Keeping up with the latest news headlines can be easily reached at this site as well. There are some helpful links on the side in case you find yourself looking for some more tips on just about anything. The layout of the site is kind of dull but it does the trick.

Junior high school students in Chicago were studying the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to list what they considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following received the most votes:

1. Egypt ’s Great Pyramids
2. The Taj Mahal in India
3. The Grand Canyon in Arizona
4. The Panama Canal
5. The Empire State Building
6. St. Peter’s Basilica
7. China’s Great Wall

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn’t turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet girl replied, “Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many.” The teacher said, “Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help.”The girl hesitated, then read, “I think the Seven Wonders of the World are:

1. to touch…
2. to taste…
3. to see…
4. to hear… (She hesitated a little, and then added…)
5. to feel…
6. to laugh…
7. and to love.

The room was so quiet; you could have heard a pin drop.May this story serve as a gentle reminder to all of us that the things we overlook as simple and ordinary are often the most wonderful - and we don’t have to travel anywhere special to experience them.

Today I was thinking about how I was going to best reach a wider reader base when I started to think how hard I have worked to get my site this far. There have been so many obstacles that have come in my way, I can’t even count them. I actually had a fellow blogger tell me that I would never be a successful blogger because I did not have what it takes to be as talented blogger like  they where.

Sister Support

My family is pretty big, three sisters and two brothers, I’m sad to say that I am not to close to my brothers. My sisters have been my heart that beats in my chest that has family blood running through it. One or the other is always there to show me the pure love that a brother needs, showing me the true potential that is inside me, whether it be the great possibilities in my life or the smack upside the head when needed.

To my sisters, thank you so much for everything that you have given me in my life, you have been there for that young boy and slowly nurtured him to a man. Truly with out you I know that my life would be empty in so many ways; friendship, mentorship, guidance, and most of all love. God bless you in all you do. I love you.

As I stand next to the bed the day my son is born I wait to hold him for the first time. He stands before me five years later a great little man. How many times I’ve  looked at him and thought of how time has gone by so fast. 

When I drive up from a long day, here he comes “Dad” is our daily ritual  as I give him a big hug and ask him how his day was and what he did. Being a father is scary, thinking of how I can affect the balance of the lives in the house.

Family Love And Trust

Have you ever had a phone call of someone you didn’t want to talk to and you told your child to lie and say your not home? How many times do you mention how great mom or dad is? Do the children know how wonderful your family is? By saying these things on a regular basis gives your family some identity. Children feel more secure in a home that they feel is stable.
 

Papa Bear Loves Mama Bear

How will your children react to a mom or dad who does not share a loving spirit with one another? Will they expect this from their parents or will they treat their peers or future spouses the same? Children need to know that mom and dad love each other.

Children’s Space

Do parents need to be in every inch of personal space? Take a step back and ask yourself if this is something that you need to be into, before you invade their space and damage their trust in you.

A Father’s Bubble

When I tuck in my son I whisper in his ear that I will always be there for him and nothing will ever happen to him. This is how I keep him from thinking he will be harmed by something he can’t control. Does this dribble into other aspects of his life, yes, I’m working on it. He has to fail to learn about failing and succeeding after failure.

Encouraging Your Child

Mom says good job and your child smiles and says thanks mom, dad says good job and touches them on the shoulder and they beam. There is a difference and fathers need to step up and realize their roll. Encouragement comes in many forms; a touch, a look, a hug, encouraging words, little notes for you child. These notes can be in their lunch box, book bag, be creative.

Dad’s Booming Voice

Today I was giving my son a talk when I realized that my ton was a tad much for what he had done. Think about what has happened, is it childish, or foolish, then think if you would like to be talked to in the way you are about to talk to them. Works for me…

Have you ever said something to your child and thought yikes that didn’t come out right? Yes, I’ve done it. He had just done something that I got a glimpse of and I used a harsh tone with him, finding out later that I was not seeing the whole story and I had jumped to conclusions. How will this impact my son? Will he take the same recourse as I when chastising his son or daughter?

The Moral Alarm

The time when we hear this alarm is usually before we do the action. This happens when we have had some teachings from our parents on the certain something we are about to do. As we start to do the action we might remember something our parents once said to us and we retract from doing the action.

Filling Up The Warehouse

The instructions to filling this warehouse are located in the Bible. As we are raising our children in God’s ways, they fill the warehouse with information that is taken in on a daily basis when they see their family in action. These are every day lessons for a child.
The parents hold these keys to the child’s warehouse; they hold the fate of a child who might get up for an older person when a seat is needed.

Training Positive and Reinforcement

Positive training is when you can give encouragement, instruction, and will happen when your child is young. When their young you tell them stop doing something and back it up with a swat, than reinforce the action as needed. Giving positive feedback will give them the motivation they need to do the right thing. As they get older the process changes for the more mature child. When you step back from the positive or the reinforcement, the child might look to analyze or pick you apart to gain an upper hand in some situation. They might doubt your strength or weakness as a parent and that could lead to loss of confidence in your abilities as a parent.

Lets find out how many parents out there really care about their childs moral warehouse, tell me how you are helping fill your child’s moral warehouse.

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn’t know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this ” ICE” (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of “ICE” is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you n eed to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name “ICE” ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones w ith patients, but they didn’t know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dia l ing the number you have stored as “ICE”.
Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc.

A great idea that will make a difference!

Let’s spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
