Naturally since I homeschool, I have a preference to do so over public schools. I sent my oldest to a private school for a few years, but, started my homeschooling “career: while he was in 4th grade.
Scanning the headlines the past month or so, I am almost inclined to believe that it’s not preference, it’s necesity that will soon keep me teaching my children at home. Where do they get these teachers today?
Read a few examples of recent headlines concerning teachers. People should be outraged.

There are tons of these things going on. What are we doing to our children in these “schools”?
