Miss Beadle, the teacher from Little House on the Prairie, could teach everyone from youngins to "get–out-there-on-the-farm" age kids all in one room. She had only a chalk board for modern technology. How come we can’t achieve the same with millions of dollars in resources? I am battling the decision to take my child out of public school for the next school year. I don’t know what I am going to do but I have resulted to considering homeschooling. I never saw (still don’t see) myself as one to home school. I could never understand how parents have the dedication and time management skills needed to teach their children from home. Not to mention the energy, patience and…dare I say it out loud…the will to be around your children for 24hrs a day*. It’s just not my thing. I am however, willing to make it my thing for the sake of my child.
