Irony Of This Qoute

Sahara is just a tiny little thing is this pic from a couple of years ago. 
 

"America's future will be determined by the home and the school. The child becomes largely what he is taught; hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live." - Jane Addams

I recieved this via email from a school supply source. The email newsletter is mostly geared toward public schools, so the irony of this comment is a bit comical to this homeschooling momma. ;)  It is a great qoute and one that can not be overlooked.

"America's future will be determined by the home and the school. ..." This does apply to us doesn't it?! I am sure this was probably a qoute about public schools, but it is so true about homeschooling isn't it?! It is a GREAT responsibility to bear. It is also a WONDERFUL thing to know we can shape "America's future" in a Biblical way.

"... The child becomes largely what he is taught; ..." They do.... that says it all.

"... hence we must watch what we teach, and how we live." Hmmmm... back to that GREAT responsibility part I mentioned above.

Just a little something to think about....
