So, I took my daugher out of regular school and wanted to try this "homeschool thing". WHAT HAVE I DONE??!! I know it's the right choice because she wasn't getting the help she needs. There were too many kids in regular school (25 to be exact) and it is only going to get worse. I truly don't understand where my $6500/year goes to for education purposes. I really don't get it! Why can they not afford to add another teacher to try and make the classes smaller? But, I guess it's not for me to worry about any longer!

I've been toying with the idea of homeschooling for 2 years and it finally felt right to take her out ASAP. I loved her teachers very much and thought they were the best ones for her, but with the added pressures of teaching to the masses it was too much for them.

Now, the new testing that is required in the state of Texas is ridiculous and that is all that the school district is focusing on. Why? Because the school gets a rating that says they are SUPERIOR or better known as,"The school that everyone should send their kids to because we scored the highest on some stupid test!".

Well, we got her room ready today and I must say that I am excited about this journey! Maybe that's a little over the top, but I feel good about knowing that if she's going to be screwed up that I did it and not the "perfect" elementary school.

Bring on DAY 2!!
