Kris Kardashian Jenner against homeschooling?

Not that it matters to any homeschoolers I know, but I am sitting in a hotel room flipping channels and came across the Kardashian's show.

The two younger girls are apparently doing some modeling and such and said they were behind in school. They asked their mom ( again) if thy could be homeschooled and she forbade it and said that she wanted them to have the typical highschool experience.

But here's the deal. Typical high school students aren't also models. If they are going to be models and travel as much as they do then they need to be homeschooled. If school is going to come first and they can't be homeschooled then they shod quit modeling or at least save it for summer vacations. Period.

I think Kris is being ridiculous.....errrr. I take that back.

Edit... Update... Spoke too soon. They hired a homeschool teacher service. Should have known if they brought it up they would resolve it one way or another.

If you don't homeschool your kids, you don't love them

I came across a Huffington Post blog where the writer/parent listed the reasons she would never homeschool her children.

I found it mildly disturbing that each and every one of her reasons started with I.  I-I-I-I-I.  I need time away from them.  I am afraid of math.  I don't like refereeing my kids when they fight. I like dropping them off at school.  But here's the deal.  It's how she feels.  It is her truth. She is being honest.  I sense an inability to see things from her kids side, but considering her reasons for not homeschooling, her kids
definitely belong in public school.

However, just as I disagree with her reasons for not homeschooling (for me and mine), I also disagree with the peanut gallery... the homeschoolers-in-arms.  Many have gone as far as to say that this woman does not love her kids. Chances are she does love her kids- a lot!  She just isn't the homeschooling type and cannot envision herself our shoes.

But even for myself it took a jarring, traumatic, life-changing realization to make me see the value in homeschooling.  I don't love my kids more now than I did then, do I?  I understand them better, but I don't love them any more or less.

I remember back when I started homeschooling, I went to a co-op meeting where women took turns telling the audience that unless GOD told them to homeschool, they should not do it.  Maybe GOD hasn't dubbed her as a homeschooler.

So let's stop being so judgmental, OK?
