Good morning Steemians!
Boy, I don't know if it is this time of year, or just this season in my life, but I have not had the time to devote to Steemit that I would have liked.
This morning I was planning on making a post on making lotion... or homeschooling.
Hadn't decided.
But I checked my facebook page, and in a local group, there was a lady with a problem. Her daughter was being mercilessly bullied in school, called racist names, molested by a fellow student, and treated poorly by her teachers.
In third grade!
What?!
Apparently no one would help her. She wanted to start homeschooling and did not know the laws or where to even start.
So, rather than spend my morning on Steemit as I was planning, I spent the morning helping this young lady, informing her of her options and getting her set up with reading material, so she could learn and figure out what she needed to do. Lucky for us, the homeschooling laws in Georgia are simple and easy to comply with.
My heart bleeds for people like this.
The school system nowadays is broken.
This kind of thing happens all the time.
It is not even surprising anymore.
I wish more people realized that they have options. They do not have to allow the government to take their kids and do with them what they will.
No offense to teachers out there. I personally know public school teachers who get very offended that I would say anything against the public school system.
I also know of teachers who would never put their own kids in school. They homeschool them!
Public school teachers have their work cut out for them and I have nothing but respect for them.
That being said, the system is broken.
Many are choosing, (and rightfully so, I believe), to remove their children from it.
Have a blessed morning all! Thanks for reading!
