Time Text
Is it hard to homeschool a child?
Great question.
And Dennis, for me being not a patient person and having four children in four years and still traveling, speaking, having a radio program, writing books and blogs and everything else, it absolutely is not as hard as I thought it would be.
Sam Sorbel is a dear friend of mine.
I thought about putting my kids in public school, and I did for one month just when I moved from Missouri to Nashville.
And she and I spoke at the same event one weekend.
She's like, you did what?
I said, you know what, Sam, you're so right.
Why am I? I know that I was able to easily tackle the homeschooling.
Is it difficult some days and you want to quit?
Yes, but I'm a fighter.
And like one of my friends who is also a homeschool mom, she said, Tina, the...
Worst day in homeschooling your kids will always still be better than the best day in a public school.
And she couldn't be more correct on that statement because of what information your kids are ingesting.
I'm a perfectionist, and so I want to make sure that I don't mess up their reading.
I don't want them to be 10 years old still not reading.
That was not a problem.
All my kids are excelling in their subjects.
Just because they're going at their own pace, they're not held back by other kids in the classroom.
With the drama we're already seeing happening in Europe, with six feet apart for these kids going back to school and they can't talk or hang out or...
Even play on the same football team.
They're not letting people even pass a ball to each other on the playground.
That is communism.
And there's no way I would ever send my kid to a public school from this day forward just from what we see coming down the line.
And is it easy to homeschool your kids?
There's days, like I said, you want to quit, but it's definitely, definitely doable, very rewarding, because the time we have with our kids is so short.
I have people when I go see places that don't homeschool and say, I don't know if I could do it.
I'll just teach them the right information once they're off the school bus.
I said, hang on a second.
So for 10 days, you're letting your kids learn that they came from Iraq, how to put a condom on at the age of 10. They're having condom relay races in their sex ed classes in the country.
And then you're going to spend, what, 45 minutes to try to deprogram the lies we were just taught, even on the school bus on that hour drive to and from school?
Most parents don't even spend more than 10 minutes checking out their kids' backpacks without having a deep conversation about checking out their textbooks, what they read, the classes that they had, what the instructor said.
There's no way you can combat what they're learning in schools.
And for the argument of the parent saying, well, my kid's going to be a light and a dark place, you are basically telling the child at 10 years old, here's your backpack, here's your lunch, I'm going to throw you out into World War III, getting shot at from the enemy, 24-7, good luck.
I'm praying for you as a hide behind this rock.
Most people at 30 can't fight.
You expect a kid to tend to?
Absolutely.
Absolutely not.
So we have to homeschool.
I think this is a blessing in disguise with a chance to have to set that parenting button again.
All right, counterculturemom.com.
We'll talk again.
Keep fighting.
And we need you.
Dennis, thank you so much.
If I could tell the parents to download our Counterculture Mom app, that is where we have thousands of positive entertainment options for the families from the Action Bible, Pure Flix that has thousands of positive TV shows, cooking shows for the kids, how to talk to your teens about what is currently going on regarding racism in our culture from a...
Good perspective.
That is what they need to download, the Counterculture Mom app, and we also have a lot of specials on our website.
I have a four-hour CD series exposing the Hollywood agenda, and teens are texting me, Dennis, saying, this has changed my life.
That they can get for 15% off by putting in the quote at the end, teen.
You can also sign up for our newsletter.
Everyone keep in touch with me, Dennis.
I love what you're working on, and I greatly appreciate the time that we have today to expose what the Hollywood agenda is all about.
It's all towards demoralizing our country.
That's right.
Literally and figuratively, that's exactly right.
All right.
Superb.
Superb.
I've got to bring fighters to your attention.
