Disney corporate president Karey Burke says, "as the mother of one transgender child and one pansexual child," she supports having "many, many, many LGBTQIA characters in our stories" and wants a “minimum of 50% of characters to be LGBTQIA and racial minorities.”

Homeschooling isn't that hard, although obviously you need someone available to do it. Takes about 3 hrs a day for an average middle schooler (less for younger ages), and highschoolers have a lot more self-sufficiency. There's tons of resources to help.
It definitely does NOT take anywhere near a 7-hour typical school day. Both my kids are flourishing in college now, on scholarships.
there are reasons that make homeschooling harder. the list is too long to get into. you are correct that most ppl overestimate the work required and fail to focus on the goal -- thinking the public school process is the way.
fortunate you found a college you can trust.
my daughter was on 2 scholarships (military and engineering) but unfortunately, her UW experience was horrid. Shocking the amount of insanity in the military and hard science classes ......
One of our daughters was very pro-life, and a seemingly strong Christian, until she went to college at a liberal state university (I guess that's redundant :) ), and the three years there managed to undo the previous 18 years. The effects of peer pressure are tremendous, and I believe a lot of people cave to peer pressure their entire adult lives.
I am so sorry! Just keep praying and she may come around when the real pain hits her. It's coming and there are no atheists in a foxhole.
If you've ever had the luxury of "fitting in," it is very hard to let go of that.
Fortunately, hearing loss, asperger's (and the associated moral rigidity) spared my daughter from conversion. No same aged friends most of her life, but never converted.
Peterson talks about the failure to make friends with your peers in childhood being problematic -- but he should have added -- "it depends."
Prayers to you and your daughter that she may see the Truth.
As a newly retired educator, I support homeschooling.
I was a squeaky wheel in a very large machine that seldom heard me. There is so much to fix (starting with school boards GET INVOLVED) before we subject more of our most precious future to this institution.
KEK, I love this response because it doesn't take into affect all kid temperaments. Not trying to be ugly, but our kid is super strong willed and is actually doing very well not being homeschooled.
My mom attempted to homeschool me, also super strong willed, and she vowed to never try that again. 😆
That said, my sister has two chill kids and would do just fine if they were homeschooled. Ours tho would fight you tooth and nail and it'd be an all day affair to get just a little schooling done.
And before there's a "maybe he just watches too much TV" or some random stuff like that, we've been very diligent about not setting him in front of the TV or video games and such.
Tv/iPad can be used very effectively as a teaching medium for certain types of knowledge. But it requires a lot of filtering
Helps if you can pool with friends.
