Home Schooling – Heaven Or Havoc
Home schooling can be viewed in one of two ways, sometimes both at the same time, heaven or havoc! While we are firm believers in home schooling, we understand of course, how these two conflicting feelings can come about during a stressful situation.
The key here, is to prepare in such a way, so as to avoid the, havoc part of this equation. You will only experience havoc, when you are not prepared for the upheavals that can take place in the life of the home school setting.
Though there is no perfect world here on earth, we can make it as near perfect as possible, then deal with whatever comes up after that. Learning how to avoid havoc, by preparing ahead, will prove to be a valuable addition to any organizational planning or skills.
Research is one good way to avoid some of the pitfalls of home schooling. Seeking the advice of others who have already experienced the home school processes, can be a good source of information. Reading materials related to home schooling can provide you with additional information and ideas you may institute in your plans for your own home school processes.
Planning your home school before your children reach school age, will help you to be prepared at the appropriate time, just as planning the nursery helps to alleviate last minute details, by being ready beforehand.
Whenever you become aware of the need to home school, however, is the time to begin preparing. If you have already had your kiddos enrolled in a public school, it is never too late to start.
Believing that once a child has attended public school, the home school idea is no longer an option, is like believing you have already gained too much weight to begin exercising and watching your diet and attempting to lose those extra pounds.
So long as you have children of school age, it is never too late to home school to protect the foundational beliefs you want to see instilled in their lives.
The blessings you receive from home schooling your children, far outweigh the negatives attached to this form of education.

Home Schooling and the Status Quo
We need to change our Educational System, it is not good enough and just like other major problems like our political system and health care system, it’s broken. We all know the educational system is not working and most public schools are nothing more than glorified baby-sitting, rote memorization centers of indoctrination. What value is this to our society or civilization really?
Interestingly enough everyone freely admits the educational system is broken and that it needs to be fixed and yet trying to get anything done with the current barriers of the status quo is a little unnerving and who has the time to deal with it all?
Indeed, this is to be expected, you know the Status Quo, it’s everywhere. Let me tell you a little story. I had brought forth a “Neighborhood Watch Patrol Plan” which has been successful, everywhere we have instituted it. Yet, every time it is suggested we hit a literal brick wall due to the status quo (local law enforcement agencies). Amazing, that they are not interested in solving the problems, making it better or winning, only in their fiefdoms.
This is human nature of course, still it is unacceptable, surely mankind is better than this? It takes a lot to be a change maker, and it is worthy, but you have to be willing to go the distance, few are. But they finally did instituted my Neighborhood Mobile Watch Program in NYC with the Taxi Cabs, so eventually if you press on, you can get it done.
So, it is possible to change things that are broken and solve the challenges and problems of our day, but it takes time and there are emotional costs and some hard headed people in the way. Many people have just given up on their local school systems and turned to Home Schooling and the Status Quo is worried about the rapid growth in home schooled families as well they should be. A little competition is good for them.
