Homeschooling

I'm seriously considering homeschooling my son next year I really feel like even with the g.a.t.e program at his school that he still is not challenged enough in his regular class and therefore it is starting to affect his grades. But then I wonder whether i am qualified to homeschool my son , so many questions. I just want my son to thrive he is soo smart and I am worried that the traditional school setting will squash his spirit.  Thoughts?????

R.I.P. Lucille Clifton your poetry lives on...

and here's one of my favorites...

slaveship by Lucille Clifton




loaded like spoons

into the belly of Jesus

where we lay for weeks for months

in the sweat and stink of our own

breathing

Jesus

why do you not protect us

chained to the heart of the Angel

where the prayers we never tell

are hot and red as our bloody ankles

Jesus

Angel

can these be men

who vomit us out from ships

called Jesus Angel Grace of God

onto a heathen country

Jesus

Angel

ever again

can this tongue speak

can this bone walk

Grace of God

can this sin live

Happy Valentines day everyone =)

and some news we have recently found out that my husbands daughter is pregnant, so we will be Grandpa and stepgrandma sometime in october =).
