I...Sorry about the "some random stranger" comment. If you will notice, I did say it was fine to comment, though. After reading your comment, I thought I had better clarify my feelings on things. I tend to sound ungrateful and witchy. I'm not always that way. <BR/>I guess I have yet to witness the whole wants and desires things. Someday, I suppose. Unfortunately, I can only vent and can not tell my entire story to the public so it is hard for people to understand where I am coming from. Life sucks right now really bad and it will hopefully get better in time.<BR/>Ok, from now on you shall be known as Keli's weirdo cousin-in-law! I like that title! It's a good one!Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594100399154692262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748368674215581724.post-2762231404666620882008-09-18T01:15:00.000-06:002008-09-18T01:15:00.000-06:00I will have to admit that you are the first person...I will have to admit that you are the first person ever to refer to me as "some random stranger". <BR/><BR/>I definitely agree that it is important to do "due diligence" on all of life decisions. I will also agree that the quality of education in public schools is waning. "Father knows best" (or mother in your case) is always a good philosophy.<BR/><BR/>My point is that if a person feels that passionate about something then they should stick to it and try all necessary avenues to accomplish what they want and need.<BR/><BR/>Some of my favorite passages in the BOM speak of how God will not only bless us with our needs but also with our wants and desires.<BR/><BR/>BTW my name is Jacob Kerksiek. I am related to Keli Noorda's husband. I grew up as a child in Riverton. Back in the good ol days. So in future posts I hope to be referred something along the lines of Keli's weirdo cousin-in-Law.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00165531075179603951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748368674215581724.post-77307602734197116992008-09-15T08:46:00.000-06:002008-09-15T08:46:00.000-06:00I agree.

I found one that people told me did the same curriculum as the private school I like (but can't afford) So I started asking around. I got mixed reviews. The parents with older (jr high) children love the school and the teachers, but the parents I found with younger kids were not all that happy and most had taken their kids out and put them in the local public school. So I have decided to not try to get Joe in. <BR/><BR/>I think you have to try to do what you can for your kids and I also believe that sometimes ther are reasons for what happens. Good luck and keep trying. I think you are a great mom.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07057967997415667353noreply@blogger.com
