RE: Homeschooling vs. public schools .....

[Guest guest]

Kim,

You are fortunate to have a good school system for your child. My

school personnel just

turned me in for child abuse, after some of them have been a part of my

daughter’s life

for years. It was appalling to me that this could happen, given the

herculean efforts my

husband and I have made on behalf of our daughter.

I have been very open with them about the biomedical interventions we

have used, and

tried to educate them on what we were always doing. One of their big

objections was

to how she reacted to chelation. The main reason for the charges was

her restrictive

diet. (No Twinkies, no candy, no pop, poor kid!) I don’t know how I

can go back to

working with these people now. We are seriously considering

homeschooling. And they

have done a mediocre job at best, anyway.

Just be grateful for what sounds like incredible supports, because many

of us don’t have

them in the public school system. I have a dear friend in Special Ed.

in another district,

and I know she works so hard for her students, but not all of us have

such dedication.

Each district is unique, as is each school, and even each classroom, but

having been in

both private and public schools in my days, I would say my private

school education

was FAR superior to what I got in the public schools.

Take care.

[ ] Homeschooling vs. public schools .....

Ok, for all you who homeschool....

I looked into this option when my son was very young - before we learned

of his " issues " and long before we ever got a diagnosis. Then, along

came autism......!!

I have many talents that God has blessed me with, and I love my son like

crazy, but teaching children with special needs - especially my own kids

is NOT one of them. I can research biomedical interventions until the

late hours of the morning to try and un-do the damage all these

" wonderful " vaccines have caused. But, I must admit to you all, I don't

have patience to even help him with his homework....that's Dad's

department (he has a degree in Elem-ed).

Unless I'm totally blind and niave - our school system has been a

God-send for us. The teachers, aides, and therapists have been so

passionate about helping special needs kids - way more than I could ever

have thought they would...the autism coordinator we have is absolutely

the most devoted person I have ever seen.

Our community has a large, and effective homeschool network too. I

applaud all of you who homeschool, and I envy your talents that anable

you to do that successfully. If my son could attend to his work (like I

suspect my daughter will - she's 4 years old) then I think I might be as

effective as the teachers he has now. But I get so frustrated - which

only causes him to get more frustrated - just trying to keep him focused

on doing what I know he has the capacity to do....

My compliments to all of you homeschooling parents out there.....God

bless! School starts here next Friday, and my son and I are both looking

forward to it!

Marina,

I am so sorry to hear of your experience. I have always felt we WERE

blessed in the school system we have here...and you have confirmed that.

I too have been very open with what I'm doing at home for my son, and

the school has been supportive and interested in all of it. The school

nurse even gives him his chelation meds at school 2 days a week - very

willingly! I'm sure if I were in your situation I would somehow find

some way to homeschool too.

God Bless,

Kim

My husband teaches some of the subject areas. This is very helpful

for my family.
