njambert: Sacrificing your career to homeschool one or two kids is not living. It will adversely affect the economy. A teacher teaches up to fifty kids or more a day in different classes and if it is a class teacher, it can be twenty permanently, if a high school teacher, it needs specialization and one teacher will teach several classes a day. Therefore a parent teaching only one kid is a drain on the economy, a waste of human resources. What are you afraid of?. A child needs also to mix with other kids in a community of kids as it is part of growth and development and no one parent can teach all high school subjects efficiently especially in the sciences but also others. There is nothing bad in day school. Let your kid go and return everyday since you pay tax too and if there is a good boarding school it is also okay since it is a community too and whatever is agreed to be taught to kids by the majority should be acceptable because majority carries the vote 2 Likes |

lawani:see yarn... Who made you an authority on the definition of what constitutes purposeful living and/or sacrifices?? If majority carries the vote to put hand inside fire, and he decides to exercise his right not to, how does it stop you from going ahead to put your own hand inside fire with the majority?? He has a choice, he is exercising it. EOD. E no suppose bother you or majority at all. Njambert, it would interest you to know that when I saw your post and the research/planning you have done on this homeschooling concept amongst like minded families, I was very encouraged, and infact shared the posts with my wife. A very lovely and practical concept. We need to protect our kids and raise them well as they are our real legacy, and the whole point of all the sacrifices we have made and still make. Indeed, we can have it all, with God's grace and direction. If ever I do emigrate, I am sure gonna be toeing the same path 💯 4 Likes |

Hello House, I am about to get a package of foodstuff from the US to Canada; A friend was heading to the US, so I had him bring me a bag of local foodstuffs. I am worried about the dried periwinkles because of the way they look. Please, has anyone sent dried periwinkle before now? if yes, I would appreciate you sharing your opinion Thanks |

ExcellencyFSA: Hi everyone, so I got another Qatar ticket that will land in Montreal Trudeau (not yet paid). Has anyone taken this route before? Any condition attached to landing in Quebec first? Will the layover time in Montreal Trudeau be enough for all the necessary Port of Entry documentation? Thanks. 1 Share

Lawani, you are looking at it from a purely economical perspective(which is even erroneous economics IMO), and I look at it from primarily a biblical perspective.I'm a huge proponent of biblical economics, and in biblical economics women don't have to be at the workplace but true homemakers in every sense of the word.Our decisions aren't only self gratifying motivated decisions, but kingdom-minded decisions.This world isn't my home. What has been the fruit of an overly focused career life? If anything, you can see an increase in moral decadence and slow destruction of the family.You cannot want to build a good society while neglecting the family, that will be like trying to solve Nigeria's economic problems by handing out palliatives to everyone.It'll only get worse! This is proof that human 'wisdom' is a farce: "There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." Prov 14:12. It is in our place to educate our children.You can't expect your children to spend 8hrs per day at public school, and think the few hours you spend with them in the evening will undo the bad things they picked up at school.That's wishful thinking at best. Before I got married with my wife, we had agreed we would go down the homeschooling route.But she was very reluctant and skeptical to accept.She was a government teacher,and just after 2years of working she vowed she wouldn't let her children go to public school, because what she experienced those kids do in school is absolutely dire! lawani: 6 Likes |

lawani: It's not your business if he chooses home schooling. Many kids have been successfully homeschooled without any issues in their future or their career. In fact, he's better off with that choice. What's grossly improper is for you to think you have an opinion on the subject 6 Likes |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NuCypher: 11:27pm On Sep 26, 2023 |
njambert:While I support your decision and think your initial foundations for it make some sense, I think you are carrying with you too much expectation. Homeschooling a child does not guarantee that they are absolutely going to toe your so-called biblical line of reasoning. You should be taking care to not indoctrinate the child and actually make him/her develop core critical thinking skills to enable them perform handsomely well in the future. I fear you are full of too much expectation in thinking that you are absolutely going to dewean the child from some of society's base ideas, and I fear that you will fail at this. Firstly, you are in Canada, not Nigeria. Your kid is ultimately going to grow up in an environment where critical thinking is encouraged, and with the combination of nature and nurture there's no escaping what the future may hold. It's good to have expectations, but it's also healthy to temper them with the realities of your society, because when it hits, it hits. No go suffer heart attack asking yourself where you got it wrong, when in fact you never got it wrong. 9 Likes |

At the start of this discussion,I wrote this; "If you are considering homeschool,I highly encourage you.Though it is no guarantee that our children would turn out upright, but it gives us greater chances to mould our children in the ways of the Lord,and we hang unto the promise that if we train our children in the way they should grow,they would not depart from it" So yes,there isn't any absolute guarantees,same way there's no guarantee that hardwork will lead to success, but we all know in perspective that hardwork leads to greater chances of success.This is same with homeschooling.Actually,our decision to homeschool wasn't made as a consequence of our move to Canada, but this is what we were going to do regardless of whether we were in back home or here.There's alot of evil equally going on in our schools back home,and our children need shielding everywhere.

olalekan9320: With the current interest rate? And furnished? Probably all inclusive? This is a great deal!!! Do you know what utilities cost these days? The other day we paid $640 for gas, water and electricity - and it’s not winter yet. Last winter our enmax bill went up to $1050. So before you comment about someone trying to rip people off, think again!!! Check out how much property taxes are now. Research current interest rates Confirm rate of utilities Then come back and apologize to poster. SMH |
