All of us are witness to the conditions of society today…would you send your kids to school?
Schools are where they pickup culture, and learn all the wrong things you can possibly think of…and I’m not talking about classes, those are ok…its the interactions with other people, and kids.
Although people claim its critical for one to interact with other people, to develop some social skills, but is that the only venue through which you have to learn this skill?
Why not home schooling? You can save em from all the filth they encounter in schools (fitna) and allow them to learn the same thing…
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with the education they’re getting (wait..i do, but thats another topic..) but with the system of school…especially the people my kids will have to interact with.
P.S. I don’t have kids … yet. I’m just thinking ahead in the future, I don’t see society getting any better in the near future…and my kids are the only way I can plant new seeds for a better society…
Would you send your kids to school? Or find other ways to get them knowledge and education…
i know! it's called emotional blackmail. There really isnt much u can do. Just be patient with them. Talk to them....but never go against them. Their blessings mean everything.
Because once you start saying something, trying to explain the situation...they start saying "you're hurting us".
Something I realized when I turned (older than I'd care to admit) is that....
yes they DO know, they DO understand. You will all come to this conclusion too but it will take some time to travel down the road of life before you are actually able to understand. I'm sad now that I did not see back then what they were trying to say to me, what they were hoping for me to understand. Things DO change, progress progresses...but people are people. The elders know this...the youngers do not. Sometimes this can cause tragedy and sometimes triumph but it is what it is...the fact of youth denies the fact of age yeah?
i agree....although im not married nor do i have kids but i do see so many things that my parents were right about now that im in my 20s but didnt understand back when i was younger.
on the other hand there are somethings that my mom views differently NOW that she didnt view back than. she has changed in her thinking as well.
It isnt that you have to agree....its more that the parents have a better handle on life, its ups and downs, turns and twists of life...they know people better. And thats what most of life trials and tribulations boil down to....the interactions between people. The most important thing you can EVER remember is ... NO ONE will ever love you as unconditionally and completely as your parents. There is no one on the planet who better has YOUR interests at heart....be a parent and you will begin to understand this. You dont need to agree with them all the time but even when you feel their advice is unwelcome, they DO have your best interests at heart.
i really like the idea of home schooling....however you dont want to shield them from the harsh reality of life. you can keep them home but for so long. when they get out in the real world they will get a major culture shock...which could in turn damage them.
with that said....our masjid has a "home school" program where they arent literally home-schooled...but they are "home schooled" with other home schooled kids as well. It is a joint effort that was collaborated by the mothers of these children.... who decided that they wanted to home school their kids but didnt want to isolate them either.
Nope. couldnt do it. Its shielding them from everyday things. While I never want to see my kids hurt, emotionally OR physically, its a part of life that they need to learn about. Home-schooling keeps them from interactiing with fellow humans and that is not a good thing. Interaction is the most important part of life and what we spend most of our time doing no matter what profession we choose.
