There are benefits and downfalls to all choices. I think your children have their own gifts and talents... and unlike SOME (not all, but some) of the home schooled children I've encountered, your children are very social. HOme schooling is not for everyone. :) OMG BJ I think I would have eaten my young if I'd even TRIED to home school! LOL IT's not just about the kids.. but it takes the right parents too! And it's certainly not for everyone.
for me it's purely economical. if i had the facility, and didn't have to work doing a daycare at the same time, i would have. i have it in me...and i wanted to. FQ and i butt heads but the other two i could work with. anyways, it wasn't in the cards. i have to earn and it's great having a houseful of kids and my own kids love school.
You are so truly blessed BJ. In so many ways, although you struggle to keep your heads above water, your kids ARE seeing what it is to work hard and have a good work ethic. That is not a lesson taught in schools. And that they love school! Mine do NOW.. but it was always a struggle, as it was for me.
He's a good talker, for a kid. Part of me can't help but wonder how much adult help he got though. :p I think it's really great that he wants to be an organic farmer instead of a football player. I don't see how he can't do both, seeing an football players probably retire early. And he's young yet, he may change his mind. Anyway, he's made good choices and he has a the spark of a talent for public speaking.
I feel like showing the video to my daughter. I wonder how influenced she will be.
of course you should show it to peanut. it's good for kids to see that they can speak in front of a crowd, they can speak well and they have important stuff to say sometimes... aside from the message the little dude is actually getting out. -regardless of his future choices (they may change 10 more times) it's just his thought process and education about his food that impresses me. bj
