Reasons for Homeschooling

Okay, I dont know what happened to my post on Rude People but if you didnt get to read it oh well. If you did then you know how i feel. I said I would post a list of reasons why we want to homeschool. I was struggling with how to post them with out sounding harsh or hurting peoples feelings when I found this. It was like God was telling me to just put this on here and leav eit at that because all the other reasons i have while still important are not a important as this. This explains alot of why i want to homeschool my children.

Dr. Benjamin Spock said> we shouldn't spank our children> when they misbehaved> because their little personalities> would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem.> And we said,> an expert should know what he's talking about> so we won't spank them anymore..>> ------------------>>
Then someone said> teachers and principals better not> discipline our children when they misbehave.> And the school administrators said> no faculty member in this school> better touch a student when they misbehave> because we don't want any bad publicity,> and we surely don't want to be sued.> And we accepted their reasoning...>> ------------------>>

Then some wise school board member said,> since boys will be boys> and they're going to do it anyway,> let's give our sons all the condoms they want,> so they can have all the fun they desire,> and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.> And we said, that's grand idea...>> ------------------>>

Then someone said, > let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, > and they won't even have to tell their parents. > And we said, that's another great idea... >> ------------------>>
