  1. @ 9:12 my principal just hired a brand new first grade teacher who grew up and was homeschooled one block away from our school. I have worked there 19 years. She would come in and participate in 5th grade when we had the 4-H presentations, and she was also able to receive community-based speech services. She holds her bachelor's in Early childhood education k-12, has both a Gifted and ELL endorsement as well as a reading endorsement. She is a first responder and is also bilingual. She turned 22 this year. Yet I work w 22+ yr veteran teachers who refuse to even look at doing anything more (and does it SHOW!) than their bare minimum of just showing up 😤. As the data management person who has to enter all info, I see reports of 5th grade "team" teaching where they release their kids to wander the halls at least 15 minutes ahead of the class change, yet admin doesn't realize that most of the discipline referrals that happen are when the students are released into the hall at that time and the cameras have caught vandalism, inappropriate activities, or wandering the campus unescorted...what could possibly go wrong🙄. That's just one example where the negative is outweighing the positive. I strongly believe that parents are and always will be their child's first teacher. They ought to be their best teacher as well. My nephew is a first-generation fully homeschooled young man. My brother, his dad, a Marine, and my sister-in-law decided from the beginning that they would homeschool him. Especially with the onslaught of having to switch every few tours and move around all over the place. This became the very best constant that could ever have happened. He is now in intelligence for the military, living his dream. You have a right and indeed an obligation to ensure you give the best foundation possible. And, speaking from 1st hand experience, it's beautiful to see what you've put into your child that will enrich her and give her the best of foundations: nature and hope! ~best to you always! 🚐☁️☁️
