Randi over at I have to say.. is posting different questions this week for everyone to answer regarding homeschooling questions..  Today's question is What led to your decision to homeschool?".   

Well,  I had my kids in public school up until March of last year.  My daughter and son had always  did great, advanced classes, student of the month doing great etc.  except things changed last year.  I wasn't to crazy about the school my daughter was in.  This is a title one school, which not to say they are bad or anything but the children that went there were clearly out of control.  Not all of them, but MOST of them.  I noticed this on several occasions when volunteering in the class room and having lunch with my daughter. The things that I heard come out of those kids mouths blew me away and I am talking elementary kids!!  The children in my daughter's class were totally disrepectful to the teacher, and she let them walk all over her.  I did not want my daughter exposed to that kind of behavior day after day after day. Our little neighbor girl was in the same class as my daughter and some little boy told her to.. well lets see how can I put it.. do something to a part of his anantomy?  !!  What!!??  These kids have to learn this at home and we are subjecting our kids to learn all this wonderful stuff from these children when we send them off to public school with.  We have not idea what goes on in these children's homes and what they are teaching our kids.  My daughter would come home and do these "dance moves" that she had learned which I did not think were appropriate.. okay.. dancing is okay, but this kind WAS NOT!  Also the little neighbor girl was subjected to teasing every day because she is very overweight, she also was a trouble maker, loved the attention she got from it then would get in trouble, when she would complain to mommy she would come over and question my daughter to see what "really happened", I got tired of my daughter being questioned all the time, it was stressing to her.  I wanted my kids home, where they belonged, and I can teach them about God at home, :::gasp:::  LOL.  When my son saw how much my daughter enjoyed it, he wanted in on it, so he is being homeschooled now as well.  So thats it, just tired of the public school system.  My daughter has learned so much being at home anyway.. like how to do math the good old fashioned way, not the public school systems "new" way..
