HOMESCHOOL HAPPENINGS PA

Should be read with a sense of humor 
 
Home Economics: We were informed that the US Postal Service 
will not deliver fried egg sandwiches, so have declined to send you 
learning samples from this curriculum.
 
Physical Education: Please see the included dance and tennis 
shoes.  To test for progress, insert nose and inhale.
 
English: Unfortunately, our budget does not allow us to send you a 
copy of every book that our son used or read. We would suggest you
 take a trip to Barnes and Noble and avoid, if you can, the 
"juvenile fiction" the section which most of your students are 
accustomed to.
 
History: Archaeologists being the stingy people that they are, 
objected to the idea of use bringing home samples of the earthworks
at either site, so we unfortunately have nothing more than a few 
samples of the kinds of things he studied in a historical context. 
However, we did learn about men like George Washington, 
Patrick Henry and John Hancock. These men were willing to give
up their lives and riches so that we could avoid the tyranny and 
dictatorship of England only to have those same freedoms lost 
to what is now the Public School System. (case in point, the PSS
does not get the idea of 4th amendment rights....hum. go figure.)
 
Science: We were also informed that students are not allowed 
to take home animals from the zoo, and therefore have nothing 
other that we could offer in the way of biological samples, 
unless you would accept fecal matter excreted by living and 
over-productive members of the F. catus under his care. 
We intend to start a comparative analysis of the Federally-financed 
Public School system to that of primitive parasitic cultures, and
would appreciate any insights which your office might be 
able to provide.

It is not my work.  

• In a perfect homeschool world, your children would greet you with a smile each morning and help prepare breakfast and clean up afterwards.
• In a perfect homeschool world, there would be no sibling fighting, lost workbooks, or unprepared students.
• In a perfect homeschool world, your children would learn their lessons the first time, eliminating any review.
• In a perfect homeschool world, you would have brilliant applications and visual aids prepared for every subject area you are teaching each day.
• In a perfect homeschool world, the laundry would clean and fold itself, so you could enjoy the evenings with your spouse.
• In a perfect homeschool world, there would be enough money to buy all the curriculum you wanted.
• In a perfect homeschool world, you would find encouraging notes from your children thanking you for being such a wonderful parent and teacher.
• In a perfect homeschool world, you would always have the right answer to every one of your children's questions.

Unfortunately, this world is not perfect. We live in a fallen and sinful world that tempts us (1 Corinthians 10:13). Every day I must go to the One who is perfect for strength, wisdom, and guidance to live my life as a shining example of His love to my family and to the world. I am not perfect, but He is (Hebrews 7:25-26)! I rejoice that although my homeschool world is not perfect, I know the One who is. He goes before me each day and prepares the path in which I will walk. Today, I trust Him again to take everything I experience as a homeschooling parent and cause it to work together for good (Romans 8:28).
