Ummmmm...REALLY? Stop for a moment and think about what you just said. Think about how the majority of kids at public school behave. Do you REALLY want THESE kids to teach YOUR kids THEIR socialization "skills" (or lack thereof)? Hmmmm?
Children cannot learn proper social skills from another child. "If the blind lead the blind, they shall both fall into the ditch." - Jesus Christ , Matthew 15:14. "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him." - Proverbs 22:15.
How can someone who is foolish and inexperienced teach your child anything of value? The "rod of correction" by many Christians is interpreted to mean "firm discipline". Proverbs 22:15 could be paraphrased to mean "Proper behavior is learned through firm discipline." Will other children provide your child with firm discipline? I think not.
Proper social skills are learned from caring adults who have the child's best interest in mind. These social skills are then practiced at home, at church, and in the community under the supervision of these caring adults. No public institution, no government-controlled school, regardless of how "degreed" or "credentialed" its teachers may be, can properly supervise or guide a child towards proper behavior as well as a loving parent or guardian can.
I love what you said, Ada. Any child that is fortunate enough to attend your day care is blessed. Thank you for taking a stand on home schooling.
