This year I sent a charitable donation to a group after receiving interesting and pleasing “free” gifts in the mail from this group. For my birthday, the charitable group sent me a birthday greeting card. I was annoyed and wondered how this group discovered my birth date and also thought about other information that this group may have accumulated about me.
Over the course of the years of my home and property confinement, I believed it necessary to maintain a daily schedule to provide for a sense of accomplishment, satisfactory mood, and disposition. With the arrival of granddaughter and on the days’ daughter worked, the early part of the day was scheduled to teach the child about shapes, alphabet letters and sounds, counting, vocabulary through story time, opposites, sorting, patterns, calendar, science topics, and religion for some examples. Granddaughter learned this preschool curriculum well and progressed nicely. I was pleased with the results of this instruction. At this time, I contemplated, investigated, and decided to home school granddaughter provided that daughter approves of this kind of instruction. After moving to Florida in 1995, I thought about home schooling daughter and son but due to the fact that we did not have internet service at that time, I was unaware of how to acquire different curriculum for this endeavor. The assumption was that textbooks and other materials were supplied by the school district to the homeschooling parent and so the only perceived benefit to this situation at that time was to remove daughter and son from potential adverse social situations in the public schools. Later, I discovered on the internet many accredited home school curriculums available for purchase. Combining this discovery with my own observations of granddaughter’s rapid progression with letter recognitions and sounds, arithmetic concepts, religion, and science and health curriculum, I decided that homeschooling would be of great benefit to granddaughter’s intellectual development. On the other hand, there were concerns about social skills regarding interactions between other children in her age group to provide for socialization and to prevent self centeredness. However, this concern was countered with the acknowledgement of possible attacks launched by evil in the schools against children (by other children or adults), in today’s immoral society. It would be ideal to instruct two or three other children of the same age to provide for socialization, empathy for others, and increased motivation in today’s age. Another thought considered was that perhaps granddaughter would not be prepared to survive in an evil society after completing years of home school studies. It is a pity that a parent should have to consider this circumstance. Also, when reviewing assessment requirements for home schooled students in the State of New York, I realized that some immoral curriculum would be necessary to teach to granddaughter in order for her to pass the secular school tests thus subjecting her to evil influences. A possible solution to this problem is
