I’m taking a little break from writing this week. School is starting up and things are very busy around here. But
that doesn’t mean I won't give you anything! I’ll be featuring a few reruns of some of my favorite posts you may have
missed. I wish I was cool enough to ask some of my favorite bloggers to guest post for me, but I'm way too shy to ask. Anyway, maybe I'll get all caught up and be back later in the week, but in case I don't, enjoy some oldies, but goodies.
I follow one blog as a guilty pleasure. I know this person "in real life" and I've promised myself NEVER to comment on her blog. It's caused a problem in the past and now our relationship is broken. This wasn't my choice, but there you have it. Anyway, she has a DONATE button on her blog and has been collecting money to buy an old yellow school bus to pack her family up and travel the country. She considers her family "unschoolers" as she is supposedly allowing her children to learn at home at their own pace and desire. Evidently, or according to her blog, she and the family have BOUGHT THE BUS. But, now her son doesn't want to stay home and unschool, he wants to GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL. I read all this on her blog. I understand her dilemma. How can you live your life the way you want to live your life when your child won't let you? But this isn't my problem. My problem is this. I want to comment on her blog, and I can't. So I'm commenting on my blog. Here it is.
So will you be driving your son to school in the bus?
513. A great weekend for catching up on a few things
514. Cooler temps reminding me that fall is on the way
515. Anticipation of a trip to AC to see an air show
516. A freezer and pantry full of summer goodness to take us into the winter months
517. New co-worker
518. I can give back the part of the job I've been covering during the vacancy
519. Still enjoying the antics of the folks in this blog topic (guilty pleasure)

ha. hey if you leave it up to the kids and they want public school...well, which is more important your wishes or theirs?
ReplyDeleteI chose public school over private myself (back in the day - a looong time ago.) :) My sister went to the private school and had a much better high school experience. She is still close with all her friends from there - they all came to my mom's funeral home visitation in February.
ReplyDeleteIt's our job to guide our children. If we gave into every whim our child "wants" at the time there will be no structure whatsoever. It's also our job to understand and know what our child needs and desires and try to give them that as best possible without compromising on our plan for our child.
ReplyDeleteInteresting Post. Very well written and shows a new perspective
