OK - this is a question that has been bothering me since I started with MyLot, and have read so many posts where people say they can't afford to go to a Doctor. Tonight I read a sad thread started by sunnypub, who has suffered a...

lol, sorry, I've just got reading several posts about teenage pregnancies and how much people despise the fact that this happens. So I figured I'd give you a teenage mom to yell at, since so many feel the need to do so. I'm not...

okiesoandso Home schooling is a privilege and a right of parents. The mandatory testing of home school parents wouldn't prove anything about their ability to teach. Teachers in my state have taken their mandatory tests and FAILED; teachers who have been teaching for...

if both your kid and your husband demands attention from you at the same time and you can only cater to one of them, would you be a mother or a wife first? sometimes it's really exhausting being both...

Hi, I was wondering what the general consensus is about homeschooling children. I have a one year old now, so I have plenty of time to decide. I know that there are a lot of co-op groups available now that help the kids...

littlemissmistress I'm not a parent, nor have I been home schooled, but I am seriously considering it. I have many friends that have been home schooled, and they are some of the nicest people I have ever met. You know why? They haven't been exposed to bullies and cliques in...

I keep running into people online who claim that Harry Potter is teaching our children witchcraft and necromancy. Having actually read the books (which I note many of these people have NOT) I find nothing could be further from the...

Kareng I loved the books and enjoyed them more than the movies. They are fiction and should be taken at that. The movies were great and had good action and special effects. I really don't see any different in comparing them to some of the Walt Disney movies. I...

Destiny007 No I don't think people who homeschool should be test to see if they are "qualified". My nephew was home schooled two years ago because the school here didn't think he was mature enough to continue with his class although he had passing grades and had met...

WyldPnut I have a computer and laptop at home. Before I go through this additional expense to send my child to public school I will home school them. The amount I would save in clothes and supplies could be used for trips and vacations.

Paw Paw Public Schools has introduced a new initiative. They want to start charging parents 36$ a day to take their children out of school for anything not excused by the FMLA. WTF!?!? They say that it is only fair, to pay back...

mzbubblie I believe if you have other parents not familiar with FMLA, you need to do more research. I am an employee with FMLA, you have to be an employee not a student, furthermore, if you have to take time out of work, the company has the right to pay you or not pay...

juls2me2 Wow....I have to agree that even if the parent isn't completely knowledgeable about a subject (as public school teachers aren't all knowing either) that doesn't make them a poor teacher. Some parents may not have the formal education, but do have the education...

Modestah no, I do not. The parent is the first and most important teacher a child has. It is the parent who teaches the child to walk, by encouragement - even if the parent is in a wheel chair. It is the parent who teaches the child to use the potty. (even if the...

michellesmith0 The idea is that everyone gets an education. If they choose to opt out of the public school system then that's their choice. They already know their own abilities. Who cares I say!
