Home School Rant

Keeping it short and sweet here.

My wife and I decided to homes school our three daughters. At first, I resisted but eventually, I relented after hearing her our out. After our twin daughters graduated, I was so thankful of our decisions to home school. I was so proud of my daughters and both soon left to make their their mark on the world. One went to Japan, China, and Hong Kong where she spread the word of Jesus to those who did not know the Word of God.

The  other twin remained at home and endured a two year internship at our church and became a successful photographer and eventually became a successful photographer and started her own corporate branding business.

My third serves at a server at popular restaurant. I am so proud that all three of my daughters are self supported productive members of our society.

Our decision to home school was not based on religious reasons but solely on the the principles that we wanted our kids to live by. As Christians, we wanted our kids to grow up on and live by those same principles we grew up on, love, no hate, no discrimination, or political beliefs, period.

I am so glad we made we made that decision. I am also thankful for the sacrifices my wife made to take on that commitment. We now get to travel throughout the US and the world to visit them where we now learn about our world from them.

For proof, here are a few links by our daughters.

HOPE: Home Oriented Parental Education.

Homeschooling Curriculum: Christian Curriculum for Home school Families. https://www.aop.com/curriculum The curriculum we used.

We also used https://www.abeka.com/homeschool/

We even used https://www.aop.com/curriculum/monarch occasionally.

Whenever we took our kids out on daily errands, we took advantage of daily life skills like price comparisons by volume, or  price and demand.

On vacation to the Mexican ruins in Tulum, We had them write essays on Mayan culture based on what they saw. You can't get out of that from a book. They experienced that first hand as well as all of the the other stuff. That is how they learned, by experience and seeing for themselves!
Every experience we had, we turned into a learning experience for our kids. Everything from a shopping trip to an oil change on our SUV, they learned something.

I'm proud that my kids can school you from everything from the Incan Empire to changing a flat tire in on a 1985 Mercedez Benz. They can do that because I can proudly say, my kids were home schooled. BTW, they can probably do your taxes and save you some money. Not because I taught them math but because they continued learning on their own.

That's how we rolled.
