Not Another Homeschool Blog

I've spent much of the last month reviewing with the kids for standardized tests... Jackson is scoring 90% on practice tests, and Jordan still has a few things to review. we are coming down to the wire.... Jackson will get the real test on Friday, and Jordan will probably next friday... Then we move on to our summer schedule, Reading, reading, reading, reading comprehension, some math for Jackson to be sure he is prepared for Algebra next year and penmanship for Jordan.

I came across this article today on the internet... http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art31319.asp My daughter once told some college friends she had been homeschooled. Someone said, "Your mom must really love you. My parents would never be willing to spend so much time with me." My son, after listening to moms talk about how they couldn't wait until summer ended and the children went back to school, said, "I feel sorry for those kids that their mothers don't love them."Homeschooling is about a lot of things, but most of all it's about love. wow!.. Now I love homeschooling my kids, but I would never jump to such assumptions about non homeschoolers... that is just as bad as the articles that say all homeschoolers are child abusers. The writer had a nice intent, but it sends a negative message.
