Cup No. 3

Here I am skipping the gym again to go and induge in internet and coffee before I pick Parker up from preschool. It is amazing the things that I choose to look at and read about while I am here. Todays bright topic: Home School...triggered by 3 random conversations that I have had throughout the course of the last week...well one was a converation that I was easedropping on. Once a public school teacher I always have had such negitive feelings about homeschool, but now as a mom who is one the other side I am def. rethinking some of my preconcieved notions. Not saying that I am going to homeshchool Parker, but now I am so unsure. At times I feel like it is unfair and that I would feel guilty for making him miss out on some of the great things being thrown into a classroom with 20 other kids means, but at the same time that is one of the main reasons that I would want to homeschool...I believe that Public Education is a good education don't get me wrong, I will always stand by that BUT the exposure to things that some kids know too early and the abundance of crazy people trying to get into the schools to hurt kids intentionally....WHOA! Background checks are great, but so many crazy, mean, sick people out there have never been caught and the thought of them hurting my baby just scares me to death. I want Parker to be exposed to all different types of people and learn how to make his way in this world but at the same time I want to shelter him from being "overexposed"! I don't claim to be super mom, but I just want to do what is right for my son and family...not sure what that is right now as it relates to this topic.... So for now...off to get the man (Parker), and enjoy all the great things that having a 2 almost 3 year old means!!
