Where does she get this?

I completely agree with you. And thank for being bold, yes, bold enough to say it here.

@AmbiePam *tips hat, smiles*

@Vikingswest1 I say a morning prayer and the Lord's prayer at night

I’m glad you think so too.

@RasmaSandra That’s really cool.

@AmbiePam I was taught the Bible in both English and Latvian

Amen.

I so agree, George.

@AmbiePam Thank you for agreeing with me since it is true that learning how to live a happy life through the Lord is the best way.

@AmbiePam

It reminds me of when Amyra was seven and she told my sister that so many things she said were wise. Mindy asked what wise thing has stuck with her. “Life is too short to buy cheap toilet paper,” Amyra said approvingly.

They’ll get a better education at home than she will at the local public schools (they looked into it and also a local Christian school). But Hudson has to be homeschooled. Once he graduated special needs preschool there was nowhere else for him to go. His health problems prevent him from going to a regular school. And that is why Amyra was originally homeschooled. Up until around aged 7 she was in and out of the hospital. She would never have had good enough attendance to qualify to move on in grades. I’d put Amyra and Annelyn against any other child their age, and there’s not a doubt in my mind they’d test just as highly right now. Believe me, I didn’t want Amyra to be homeschooled. My dad and I both shut our mouths because it’s not our business. I STILL think Amyra would be better off in a regular school, but not because they’re lacking in getting a proper education. That being said, I understand a long tenured public school teacher feeling that way. A lady in my dad’s neighborhood started homeschooling their teenager when a piece of candy given to her at school turned out to be laced with something, and they ended up in the hospital. Funniest thing I heard my dad say about Annelyn last year. I showed him a picture of her in a plain, utilitarian dress, and asked my dad, didn’t she look cute? He raised his eyebrows and said, “Well, she certainly looks like a homeschooled child.”

@AmbiePam No one can competently homeschool their child in all subjects once they hit middle or high school. They can't. I couldn't do it and I have a college degree and am a teacher. Nope. Parents have the right to do what they want. Go for it. Let your kids be less educated. Not my issue.

@NJChicaa Thank you for the permission!

Luckily, she’s a crazy perfectionist. I’ve never seen anything like it.. She got her diploma at 16, her bachelors at 19, got a full time job teaching, and bought her own house. Then got her Masters at 21. I had hoped she’d put Amyra in school, but after seeing the curriculum at the local public school? She was like, uh, nope.
