And what you said is very true...there is so much more to educating our children than merely the academic part of it all. "Educating the whole-hearted child" is more like it. Educating their whole person...not just the mind. It's a daily endeavor, for sure.Bringirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17887106906876198260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834716166446403155.post-2929564221704095592009-12-17T20:50:24.570-05:002009-12-17T20:50:24.570-05:00Good points Angie, I am not picking on schools or anyone here. This pierced my heart as a mom who teaches her children at home. Am I only worried about checking off the academic boxes or am I discipling these guys, which has to start with a change in *me*!The Amusing Redheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03210773972329679902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3834716166446403155.post-22757333876320175352009-12-17T20:43:54.281-05:002009-12-17T20:43:54.281-05:00Those are great points. As a teacher, I knew that the way to get the children more interested in school and/or their own behavior wasn't to put them in another club or invent a new program that costs more money. The problem is in the heart (for all of us), and until that is dealt with in the schools, they're only going to get worse.Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03079351241495960304noreply@blogger.com
