***post from 2012***
I have always had a problem with "validation" from others. Whether needing it, requesting it, or running away from it. It's crazy, you have to teach people have to treat you. The same is true of the notion of once bitten twice shy. Where am I going with this? As a 42 year old single mother of 4 kids ages 3, 5, 7, and 18, I should know what is best or what is better for them with regard to education and the like. My 7 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD. He just wasn't doesn't doing well in a rigid setting. His current elementary school has a rule that during lunch time, yes lunch time, you cannot talk to your peers or anyone for that matter when the "music" is on. Now. for an adult that would be torture, can you imagine an ADHD or even a typical child? So, I have given up on the public school system. I will allow God to order my steps and let my children learn from their life experiences and use a biblical based curriculum at home, with yours truly, a teacher that loves and cares about my kids as individuals and not statistics.
