This is proof once again that schools do not have the families' best interest at heart. An unsympathetic principal turns what should be a joyous reunion Into an administrative nightmare. Instead of looking forward to time with their father, these children have to wonder if they’ll pass their grade this year.
Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about this happening to us, because we educate at home. For example, we decided to take off this week so we could concentrate on other efforts. Next week, we plan to do a special project focusing on the constitution, government and our country’s unique role in the world. All of it counts as school time, and hopefully, our children will come away with a deeper appreciation for what God has done in and through our country.
We don’t have to worry about attendance sheets, averaging test scores or sick days. We find that our children learn much better under the home education model anyway. Not having to sweat some principal’s order is just the icing on the cake.
