This is my first post. I read a post today that I could not find again about this page and how it's no longer Q. I did not find Q until last year and I'm learning as I go. My truck holds the American flag and WWG1WGA, my home bears the American flag and I love Trump. I may not understand all the drops but this is the place I come to make sense of it all. I see the connections drawn by those who do know and I find comfort in that. I can spot when there is a coverup or a distraction now and I know I've seen evidence come out slowly. I may not be an anon but I would be completely lost and alone without this webpage and without those of you who know your stuff. I don't post nonsense but I read and look into things. I'm absorbing what I can. Without Facebook anymore or social media, homeschooling and going against the norm, I feel so alone. Thank you for helping me hold the line. NCSWIC

I am with you. I got off social media 8 years ago and have been homeschooling the same amount of time. It does feel lonely at times, esp when you walk the walk. Boy does it feel like you're alone! I used to have a very public life in what seems now like another world and wanted privacy badly...but the last couple years has felt too isolated at times so yeah, your words resound with me personally. My kids tho. They get it, they have conceptual understanding of everything--their faith, politics/gov, media, h-wood--they love Jesus and see thru everything. Its so worth it when our kids know what it means to BUY THE TRUTH AND DO NOT SELL IT. I love your post, can 100% relate. God bless you and your family
❤️ giant hug! I would love to somehow have a homeschool support network not on social media that supports the way we believe. I'm going into my second year. Last year was rough but at the same time so incredibly wonderful. I still have worries and concerns for the futures of my kids and struggle to let go of the "supposed to" mindset. I've done better hopefully at picking curriculum this year but last year we didn't get through as much as we "should have." My kids talk often about how they want to go back for middle school and high school and I'm like...... Let's worry about that later, hoping by then they will accept that it's wonderful to take this opportunity to be together and do school our way. I fail daily and am grateful for grace and knowing that tomorrow we can start again and try to do better.
You just described pretty typical homeschool concerns, you must be doing a great job! Its against the grain, a narrow road, and having concerns is what drives us to make sure we do whats best. The bible is my refuge bc I always feel like the worst most epic fail. Also my kids are like no mom you do a great job we know this, this, this bc of you! They know how math is in everything, how algebra teaches you to solve problems, balance, and organizes your brain. No wonder the clowns want to do away with it. At this point, my kids can also can cook, REALLY cook--weve got 3 chefs rotating dinner now here. They can clean, repair things, have solid self defense, know the importance of exercise, treat basic illness and injury, grow veg, have situational awareness, compassion for people, can train animals, care for little ones, (2 little siblings) what credit is, what debt is, stock market-everything pertaining to life.
Theres a decompression stage that may last a cpl years, but believe me your kids will see it and thank you for what youre doing. They will thank God for it. It took awhile for me to realize, and its always developing, that homeschool is not 'school' as we know it and thats the whole point. While they learn what is appropriate for their grade level but the method and time its learned varies. I try different curriculum and have a friend that follows it exactly which I feel insecure about bc I never do. I end up printing online worksheets or find other things based on what works. I just dug out an older algebra textbook that Id used years ago bc I thought my 9th grader would like it better than the current program he was using. He did. Im teaching one of my little ones to read and GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY how I pray my heart out bc THIS is tough. My high schoolers learned in school so its new to me but to my shock we are doing it! In Jesus name bc believe me Im crying out lol. What I love best tho is my precious kids and I--we talk so much. When daddy gets home, we talk to him too haha. But me and the day crew we spend. time every day just talking and laugh a lot. I woudnt trade that for anything. I still have never joined a HS group, it just hasnt worked that way. Weve had other events and life circumstances that it just hasnt played out that way. But theyve played sports, weve always done things, except the least few years. Overall, its made us very close to each other.
Your kids are going to more than accept it, I believe they are going to LOVE it. The need for decompression is real, its a compressed state and total brain change but suddenly it clicks. You are 100% doing the right thing! I hope you stay with it! ?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you just said! Thank you! I too am teaching one to read and it's rough. He would rather do anything other than read. He loves to be outside and is extremely active. I know how special he is and he is smart! He just would learn better in a way I haven't figured out yet. The schools told me two of my three are failing and need two more years of failure and medication before they would get any help. I was done! The system is broken and how I love being away from it. My kids are becoming friends again and we learn about scriptures and prayer. They have seen their mom be depressed, having anxiety attacks, be happy and learn to solve problems differently. They get lessons on how to be kind to others and I love the tuttle twins! Looking back on pictures the other day I remember the sweet phase of life when all of them were home with me and little. I thought I'd never survive that time but as soon as they went to school I missed out on being with them and knowing them. It's almost like they didn't belong to me anymore. Sadly, I had a moment after pulling them where I thought I would be in trouble for breaking some unknown rule or something. I truly believed they HAD to go to school and do exactly what everyone else was supposed to be doing. It was the law! I knew people homeschooled but it just clicked to me all of a sudden that I had been brainwashed about schooling. Teachers know best. They have the education to do what I can't. They get paid for a reason. The schools know what the kids need to go to university. Kids have to go to university or they will fail at life. NOPE! I now know none of that is true. In fact universities ruin kids most of the time and push their sick agenda. God gave me these children because I can raise them to hopefully be good people who love Him. Everything else will work out. Now if I could only remember that every second of the day! ?
my niece really enjoyed bob books, they are progressive,, each book introducing new sounds / language constructs, and tells you at the start what the new concepts are. each time they can read through one book beginning to end on their own they can earn the next book in the series. although my niece tried to cheat. 'you read it first' then just try to memorize what you said and ignore the writing, LOL! it makes reading much less intimidating to the young ones though as it is less overwhelming they jumping into most other books.
Our youngest viewed reading as a punishment for the longest time, it was so frustrating. He could, he just didn't want to. Luckily he eventually snapped out of it and now we can't get him fresh books fast enough.
It gets better.
I love this. Some of what you said could have come from my mouth! I will never forget when I took my kids out, it was 2012. and it just seemed like things were getting too crazy. I felt it was Gods will tho I didnt feel confident in myself, I was is Him. The false ideas that you described well are such a big part of awakening when we realize what lies they are. Ive been reading Q since day 1 but have been awake in other ways a long time, maybe my whole life but the school thing is developed more all the time.
I am impatient at how long it takes to see justice for their crimes, for elec fraud, all their hoaxes, just all of it but also know for it to last its got to be right. And if nothing else I know for sure God sees and knows their day is coming. I will always love the Q days and remember clearly from the beginning bc that month was overwhelming, the Oct1 shooting in LV (where I lived). I was also 6mths preg and 2 weeks later found out my baby was in trouble and had to be delivered 12 wks early. So when Q started at the end of Oct I was fighting for my baby and the days were hard. And keeping up with the posts was kind of break from the battle. (My baby is fine btw, Jesus is our healer, He did the impossible) BUt yeah never will I forget these times. GA is a great hang out, def the feeling here is belief that NCSWIC and I love that! God will never let these evildoers off the hook. In the meantime, we shelter our kids from their evil agenda and lies, use wisdom, and trust in Him as it plays out. Take care! Hope you keep posting--you have a lot to share that will encourage others.
