Belief Statement about Education
Remember when you were in college and you did research for a paper in one class and wrote another paper for another class based on the same research? I’m not saying I’ve ever done that (No way, not me!). But if I had? That’s how I would explain the feeling of posting my homework and calling it a post. Although, I do find your feedback and comments interesting and appreciate those of you who are nice to me. 
So, that being said, I am not fond of this paper. I feel like it doesn’t quite express the passion I feel for the subject. I also tried to stick with the subject of public schooling and how it could be improved. While I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to free my child from public school, there are many more just as deserving kids who must attend for one reason or another. Nor do I even believe that homeschooling is right for everyone. I homeschool for purely selfish reasons: I want to be in charge of what my child learns and give him the chance to pursue what interests him. History and culture and foreign languages and art and a million other things are so important to our family and they are sadly lackng in our local schools. Maybe I should write my beliefs about homeschooling next? Nobody around here ever does that.
