Agreed, they are trained to become robots and follow instructions and nothing else. They'd be awesome at putting together an IKEA wardrobe but they're crap at anything that involves thinking for themselves. I am preparing for the worst if they keep going with this. Fortunately the home education network here in Ireland is quite extensive and there are people who know all the ins and outs of homeschooling. The thing is that it is our constitutional right to educate our children at home and there are steps one can take if they are removed from the register. But it will involve court etc. so I hope not to get there at all. Just before I started homeschooling my eldest, there was a woman here who was detained for some time because her child was not on the register and not sent to school. Luckily she won her case, but there are enough people who aren't that lucky.
My mind hasn't been in a good place the last few weeks so I started a detox a few days ago. This usually helps me put things back in order in my body and head. Yesterday I experienced flu like symptoms and this always means (for me) that a good clean up is in order, so I was right starting the detox. It helps me to think a bit cleared and leave the ego out of the equation and act from the heart instead. I am amazed by the wonderful community here on Steemit and it means so much to me to have so many people here who care and support me and others in these crappy times. I've only been here a couple of months but it already feels like my extended family. Thank you @markwhittam for listening and all you do here. It is a great and important project and hopefully in the near future I'll be able to lend a helping hand to anyone in similar situations too.
