Im no teacher by any means but where the hell has our school system gone. I have raised both my kids in an outdoor enviroment. My daughter hunts, fishes and helps me on ocasions with my home building business. She is olny five and we have taught her to read and write but also teaching her real life. this is how i was raised. I grew up with real life rules, you screwed up in school you got called out. You got to know failure and if bad enough you were kept behind. You sucked it up and became a better person for it. Today they teach kids that failure is acceptable. What a freekin joke. Heres our dilema. My Daughter tends to do alot of stuff on her own as the other kids are so far behind her its unreal. They are teaching her basic shapes and colors. She allready knows all this stuff, christ she knows which colors to mix to make other colors. We are wondering if we should ask the board to let her skip a grade or two. I had to do it and i seem to have turned out fine. Who ever said that parenting was easy. Lol
