I am mentally exhausted! Trying to message a lovely home-educatin' mum on facebook today i could have gone on typing forever, and I realised THIS is the place for everything I was writing.
My Ruby (13) is only going to school this week & then she is going to be off school - ostensibly til February next year - that is 10 months, during which I hope to help her work on areas of life such as organisation skills, confidence in everyday lifeskills and Most Importantly - preparation for what each day brings by reading the word & prayer.
The plan is that in Feb she will return to school better equipped, to choose her GCSE options & then get on with it at school.
I am open to her not returning to school. She would probably find GCSEs easier at home (IGCSE's).
I am hoping / expecting that the two younger brothers, age 8 & 9 , will go into Secondary school at the allotted times (Sept 2013 & sept 2014)
But I don't know. I got into this whole situation by praying desperately to hear God's Will & do it.
Seems like I am desperate to get out of the situation HUH?!
It IS tiring, stressful and confusing so far. But this is teething troubles.
And the peer pressure (on ME) of taking a teen out of school is quite heavy.
Even as i write this I can see it's FEAR OF MAN getting to me again.
LORD GOD, I have seen how you faithfully lead people through much worse confusion than this!
Thanks that I KNOW you have all the answers in hand. Maybe I won't know them for ages. But YOU DO!
I like the idea of the chillen getting their education at home - I was looking at TEACH / ACE christian curriculum & I actually really liked the idea. Let's throw that into the mix!
One of the complications is that my BSF & church work seem to be rivals with home ed - crowding the week. Those responsibilities I do not take lightly - I only do them cos I believe GOD wants me to.
Let us Pray!
