She Really Isn't As Old As She Looks!

My wife and I homeschool one daughter and also homeschooled the other daughter up until a few years ago. My youngest, Erin is now attending Jackson Christian School in Jackson,Tennessee. This is a private Christian School that teaches all the normal classes but from a christian prospective. It is fully accrediated but after looking at this picture you probable wonder how.

This week is homecoming week and as such each day has its own theme. As you have probable guessed today is senior citizens day at JCS.

Let me make it perfectly clear that none of these clothes belong to my wife. She ain't that old! My wife is a homeschool teacher so would correct that ain't for sure.

We have 2 great school systems here in Dyersburg,Tn but sometimes the federal government insists that certain things be taught to our kids that we teach differently in our home. Enough said on that subject.

Every morning the kids get on a bus sent from Jackson(45 minutes away) and we have to have Erin at the bus by 6:45 am or we drive her ourselves. The academics are pretty tough and there is always lots of homework. Many graduate from this school and go on to higher learning and fields such as medicineErin, engineering and teaching.

So cute, Mike.  Great old granny clothes!  And how fortunate you guys are to be able to send your daughter to a school that teaches things the right way.

Mike,  That is an adorable picture. I know folks who home school and do it very successfully.  I'm glad I never tried it.  I don't have the focus for it.

Good for you and your wife for choosing to teach your children what the government will not allow public schools to teach them! Love the costume!
