Feeling good...

I'm NOT feeling good today but I AM feeling good about Q not attending public school. :-) Every day lately, I have just had this sense of peace come over me. More and more people are seeing that our school system is broken. There are 4 documentaries coming out now. The War on Kids and The Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America's Achievement Culture, just to name a couple. I'm excited about this, but it seems Americans are slow to realize that these issues are in fact issues and slow to realize when it's time to do something about them. As in, the time is NOW. They are also a bit ignorant in realizing that homeschooling is not about letting your kids sleep in, stay up late and run around doing whatever they want, whenever they want, although there are some families who do that and that is THEIR decision. No one else's. Look around- what we see now is what the public school system has been putting out- kids who bully others, committ suicide, steal, vandalize and disrepect people. Of course there are good kids who go through the public school system, but it seems to be fewer and fewer all the time. I'm excited to see all of the great, intelligent homeschoolers and unschoolers who are going to become adults in the next 10-20 years. I bet it's going to be amazing. :-)
