The biggest advantage for the twins is one on one teaching. This has helped immensely. They are doing well in spelling with almost straight 100s for both. They have greatly approved in math with their grades averaging in the low 90s. They are also getting much practice in cursive writing which is getting less and less attention in the schools. The biggest problem we have faced so far is keeping the girls focused. It has improved but it still has a way to go before we are satisfied. When the girls are focused and not tired they excel. When they have not had to sleep they need we groan a little. We are working on their mom and dad in that area.

The public school system is a failure as far as I am concerned and this is because of the control from the Feds and state government with little control at the local level.

The girls can have their education in a relaxed atmosphere here at home and it is impossible for that to take place in a crowded school room. The teachers can give scant time to personal teaching and therefore load the kids with homework with the idea their parents will take up the slack. In many homes this does not happen.

Also in public school the teaching of evolution and the removal of all aspects of Christianity is prevalent. It is getting even more so with the forbidding of prayer and removal of Christ from books and teaching. Political correctness is also a great problem in the schools as is the major push toward liberalism at all levels of school.

Dale and I have decided to dedicate a major part of our lives for the next 9 years to seeing the girls will get the education they need. Our day starts with prayer and Bible reading. If God will bless us with health and patience we will finish this that we have started.

We realize that our age will be a great factor as well as Dale's health but we are putting our trust in our Saviour to see us through. We are not trusting the "arm of flesh" (2 Chron. 32:8) but in Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

How's that grandbaby of yours doing?
