I have home schooled my son, Christian from the very beginning. I have always believed that homeschooling is the best alternative to public school, or any school for that matter. Because no one knows him or loves him or wants him to succeed like I do. But this year at the earging of my son and Husband and especially because we are overseas in South Korea and he could go to a DODEA school and they are some of the best in the country, so I decided to let him go. After having been in school for 3 weeks I found out that he did not have a history book, in fact they were not doing anything in history except watching movies that I would not have allowed at home and playing bingo, (that he enjoyed because it was just regular bingo and he won candy, Whoopers.) In his literature class it was basically 4th grade you read a couple three page story and take a multiple choice quiz. His other classes were Algebra and Biology that I left him in those classes because 1. I am not and Algebra teacher, and 2 I don't have a lab or funds to make one. After 3 weeks of public school I removed him from the majority of his classes and now he only takes 3 Algebra, Biology, and his favorite Ceramics. But after having talked to Christian over and over about things in school I felt really torn. I wanted Christina to go to public schools so he could be around other kids more often and have the prom, basketball, football, dances and other clubs. And then I realised that everything that he is telling me is that his science teacher is an evolutionist, she believes that she came from a monkey, I am not the result of a mutated monkey I was created with a purpose on purpose by God. Then he started telling me that this one was Hindu, that one was Buddhist, that one was Agnostic and that one was atheist., and I was like OK Christin where are the other Christian kids, surely you are not the only one. And come to find out there are only like 10-15 Christian in a school of approximately 450 kids. I thought to myself , he will never get the experience that I got in High School. Maybe it is just me maybe it is because I am not in the bible belt or maybe it is because we are as a society going farther and farther away from God and the truth. It is just really scary. I look at my sons school and I see things so different from how they were when I was in high school in Texas. We didn't argue over who to serve. everyone followed Jesus, Our biggest argument was wither to have a piano in the Church or not. Everyone I knew was in church on Sunday morning even the call girls. (I lived next to one and went to church with her) Everyone knew they needed a savior and somehow we have fallen away from that... It is sad that my children will grow up in a society that doesn't honor God. It is sad to me that my family lives in a society where we are not fighting over baptism, or pianos but instead of how to worship God, What god to serve? It just makes it harder to parent in today's society knowing that 95% of the people that my family has contact with outside of our little home-church bubble wont be in heaven. Makes me want to work harder to see who I can help to get to the savior, My prayer for my children is that they will be a light in the world for someone else can see Jesus shine through and possibly be able to change their fate. Pray for the Children mine, yours and theirs that God will protect them and show them the way.
