I read an article the other day that really got me to think. I love it when articles or books to that. Here is the article

One of the comments was actually what got me thinking. The person commented that there is no difference in a mom going to work than moms sending their kids to school each day, all day for someone else to care for. This actually perpetuated my decision to homeschool. I don't think this was the person's intent when he commented.

I think a bigger issue is more about "being there" than "staying there". There are a lot of "stay at home moms" who can't wait to send their kids off to school each day. The idea of having their kids home all the time is ridiculous to them.

Ezra Taft Benson counseled that moms should be at home with their kids. He also stated this “take time to always be at the crossroads when your children are either coming or going — when they leave and return from school, when they leave and return from dates, when they bring friends home. Be there at the crossroads whether your children are 6 or 16.” I think some of the crossroads are learning to read, figuring out their Algebra, ...well learning in general. Education is full of a lot of political agendas these days. I'd like them to learn my beliefs.

Here is a funny Youtube video.
