Hello all,
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I hope enjoy this post and please feel free to comment.
Lately, I have seen commercials for K-12 a tuition free online school. After so many times of seeing the commercial I decided to do my own research and the tuition free part really peaked my interest. I went to the website and they offer two different programs for students beginning at 3rd grade to the 12th grade. That makes sense to me, I think it would be difficult for smaller children to learn this way. At that age they will have all the basics, they are a little more disciplined and are able to sit and listen.
It looks like a good school, but I am not sure if it's something I would ever do. My concern would be my child lacking the social skills that are learned when interacting with his peers. I believe we learn a lot of life lessons when dealing with people that can only be learned through experience. In my situation, my son is somewhat growing up as an only child so most of his social interaction is at school. Even though he is too young for the program he really enjoys being around other children. I don't believe it would be an effective way for him to learn, he is an extreme extrovert. He will talk to any and everybody, he is very out going. I am working on that trait, making sure he does not talk to strangers when I am not around.
I am quite sure there are circumstances where this would be a good fit; such as, if your child is being bullied or if you child has special needs that are not being met by his school. A lot of parents prefer to home school their children as they believe it will provide a better education for them.
As I stated before it would not work for me. I believe the social interaction with his peers is necessary and I would not want him to miss that. What are your thoughts? Would you enroll your child in an online school?

How Can You Choose a Sex Predator over Your Children?
Hello all,
I hope you have a very good week and thank you for stopping by to read my blog.
Last week, I watched a couple of daytime shows and this was the topic. I could not believe that these mothers were choosing to be with an alleged sex offender. They were not only in relationships with these men, but they chose to put their children out of the home to be with these men. I was in shock and disgusted by the mothers behavior and no matter what explanation they offered it just did not make sense to me.
As mothers our job is to protect our children from harmful people and situations. How can you knowingly bring a man into your home who is an alleged sex offender? One of the mother's believed he did not do it and was being falsely accused even though he plead guilty to the crime. My opinion is I don't have to know for sure you did it, the fact that you are being accused is enough for me. I would not allow him around my children or any children in my presence.
I may seem judgmental and everyone does at times deserve a second chance, but I am not the one to give him that chance. I could not live with myself if I opened that door and he harmed my children. But, passing on a guy who turned his life around I can live with that. As a mom my kids come first, these women are being selfish and putting their wants first.
I can't imagine ever choosing a man accused of harming children over my children. The only reason that came to mind is maybe they were victims of abuse as well. This doesn't justify their decision it shows that they never received the professional help they needed.
I felt sorry for the children who are caught in the middle this mess. I can only imagine the emotional turmoil the children are feeling. I am quite sure they are feeling angry, sad, hopeless, neglected and rejected. How do you recover from this? How do you move on once the relationship ends?
I don't know how they can move forward from such devastation. I hope that whoever steps up and takes care of the children so well that it doesn't have that much of an affect on them. Who knows maybe their life is better without their mom. I learned that being a mother is earned and not given and every woman who has children does not deserve the title.
