What is Happening to OUR AMERICA??!!

1st October, 2009 - Posted by LocalMommy -

Hi there moms. I haven’t been writing much because I just haven’t been writing. Oh yea life is busy and the kids are going and doing and the laundry is multiplying but those are all excuses because us moms can multi-task and just keep on keeping on. But this afternoon I wanted to write about a few worries that I have and many moms like me have. First it is the education my children and grandchildren are getting or will be able to get. Already just a few weeks into the school year the dark cloud of standardize testing comes floating into the picture. How important it is to prepare your child early for these tests and how important these tests are to the schools in regards to funding and other programs. What happen to prepare our children for life. The basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. Kids are coming out of some schools graduating and reading on an 5th grade level and are unable to make it in todays job force. We have to teach our children I mean really teach. Let teachers follow the curriculum and teach basic skills and build on them. Let children learn in an environment where personal acheivement is more important than the schools’ scorecard.  I am more and more encouraged to homeschool my son.  Another worry is the goverment is trying to take over our jobs as parents. I want to teach my children morals and values. I want to have the “sex” talk with my children. I want to have a say in what my children read and sing. What happened to good old fashion values. What happened to “do unto others as you would have them do unto you? What happened to God in our whole life everywhere, every place. I have been reading and listening to the news, the inernet and the newspapers and it is like what is happening to OUR America?

Until Next Time,
