...How Sweet the Sound...: Fly on the Wall

Fly on the Wall

Here are some cute sayings from my precious boys:

BUB: "Mom, I'm going to marry you 10 times when I grow up. You're my best wife!"

BUB: "Mama, this pencil's out of lettuce."

BUB: "Mom, did people get baptized in the Old Testament?"
ME: "No, it was pretty different back then. They didn't have churches the way we have now, but there were other ways to show faith in God."
SETH: (obviously not satisfied with my simple answer) "Bub, the main difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament is that they didn't have chairs in Old Testament days and they all had to stand up to listen to the preacher."

BUB: (getting ready for phonics lesson). "Mom, remember I had a hard time with this yesterday.....(thoughtful pause)....Boy, it's a good thing it's not yesterday anymore!"

SETH: (just learning a new objective in his Singapore Math): "This is quite possibly the easiest thing I've ever done in my entire life!". (I, Tara Stringer, have a kid who loves Math!)

My boys are growing up so quickly! I know these hilarious moments will become less and less frequent, and I'm enjoying every minute of them being "little boys"!

Why do I homeschool?

I love the company and fellowship it allows
I've learned more since I graduated than I ever learned in school. If I can just pass on a love of learning and a good work ethic, they'll be fit for whatever the Lord has in store for them
At 7 hours per day (conservative estimate), for 180 days per year, that's 1,260 hours per year, times 13 years, equals 16,380 hours of their childhood that would be spent under government supervision. The Bible says, "Children obey your parents [NOT UNCLE SAM] in the Lord." God gave them to me, not the U.S. government. How can I expect them to embrace my ideals and my faith, when I let someone else hold a position of respect and authority over them for 16,380 hours of their childhood?
"Mama, who is Mar-tin Lu-ther King, J R?"
I can never forget how my own faith was shaken by teachers whom I greatly respected
Age segregation is something foreign. Playmates come in all ages and sizes, boys or girls, and some of my children's best friends are adults.
It is so much fun!
My children pity the fools and scoffers who believe evolution
We study real history, not the revised politically correct version
FIELD TRIPS!
My kids don't even know what a "nerd" is, and believe me, they would be labeled "nerds" in public school. Nor does either of them know a curse word, and they think a dirty joke has something to do with passing gas.
I don't have to wonder if some pervert is having his/her way with my babies while I'm not there to protect them
I can control my children's environment, keeping their hearts and minds pure for the work of the Lord
NOTE TO OTHER HOMESCHOOL PARENTS: All of the above reasons are completely NULL and VOID if you give your child a laptop or computer and hours of private, unsupervised access to the internet. He or she would be better off in public school.
