Life at Brushy Creek

Many years ago, eleven to be exact, I made the decision to homeschool my younger daughter. She had many learning difficulties, was failing third grade and did much better at home. She continued being taught at home until she graduated High school. My son who was a preschooler at the time was homeschooled until third grade. He begged us to let him try the school (we had moved to another county) and he has been there ever since. Our teachers have been great for the most part. My daughter in special ed first grade is doing well and she will still go to her self contained class.

I am really considering keeping 4 of my girls home next year. They are ages 11, 9, 8 and 6. One struggles a bit in reading but is making progress this year and I think she will catch up. My 11 year old would be going to the middle school next year and there are problems there with drugs and the girls thinking they have to do anything to have a boyfriend. My 11 year old is very naive, I refuse to let her go into that environment. Even at our elementary school the girls are trashy mouthed, rude, and crude. I want better for my girls, I want them to feel good about themselves and respect others.

My husband is not 100 percent about this but said if I wanted to try it with the girls, he was okay with it.

He is worried I will not be able to handle too many kids schooling at home

time for decisions

God will provide
