First let me say, "I'm sorry!" I know most of you have given up on me. My blog has not been updated since April. I've had technical difficulties that I think are now figured out.
Secondly I'm feeling a little introspective so I wanted to share. But let me give a disclaimer. This is not a pro-homeschooling post. Nor should you feel bad if you experienced these things today or you send your child to school. You'll see what I mean. These were just MY thoughts today.
Today was the first day of school. But today I stayed at home. I did not put my oldest child, my first-born daughter, on a bus and cry as it pulled away. I did not drop her off at school to take her to her kindergarten class. I did not cry and weep as I watched her walk into her room. I did not wipe away my tears as I saw her try to hold hers back. I did not wonder what would happen to her at school or what she may be taught. I did not give up control of her to someone other than myself. I did not worry about the education she will get (actually I am worried about that) or what she may learn that I didn't expect her to. These are all things that I thought I would do. Things I always imagined would happen on her first day of kindergarten. But I did not do them. At least not today. Today I stayed at home. For tomorrow we homeschool...
