Homeschooling Reason # 1

Teacher Applicant

After being interviewed by the school administration, the prospective teacher said "Let me see if I've got this right."

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.

You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.

You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.

You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the final exams.

You also want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents in English, Spanish or any other language, by letter, telephone, newsletter, cell phone, email, and report card.

You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.

You want me to do all this and then you tell me. . I CAN'T PRAY?

Homeschooling Reason # 452

Kindergartners pledge

This woman should lose her job.

California needs Jesus.

"How do you teach a 5-year-old to sign a pledge card for lesbian, gay and transgender issues without explaining what transgender and bisexual is?" asked Sonja Eddings Brown, a spokeswoman for Protect Marriage California.

My question exactly.

The district said the pledge cards were intended for middle school and high school students.

I wonder what would have happened if one of those middle or high school students decided to NOT sign the card.

California is voting on overturning the gay marriage law on Tuesday. Pray for them.
