As a retired teacher (35 years teaching first grade) I am glad you made the decision to try public school. Most people become teachers for a reason – because it is their calling. And teachers attend college for a reason; to learn how children learn and how to support them. School provides more than just an education. Children learn to cooperate, appreciate another’s point of view, and to communicate their thinking. I feel I need to give you 3 pieces of unsolicited advice. Do with them what you will. First, If one of your children comes home and tells you something that doesn’t sound right, please ask the teacher BEFORE you go to an administrator. Children, especially young ones, only see things from their perspective. They may tell you what they think happened and how they feel about it. Chances are there is at least one more side. If you talk to the teacher and are still not happy with what you hear, then speak with an administrator. Sometimes things have a very simple explanation, but your child did not see it because they are still developmentally unable. Second, children – even very well-behaved children, can act very differently in front of an audience of their peers. Parents who say, “My child doesn’t do that at home!” are telling the truth…because they don’t generally have 19 other six or seven year olds at their house. Your child may indeed behave very differently at school than at home. Finally, if your child tells you someone did something to them and the teacher didn’t do anything about it, please check with the teacher. If I had a dollar for every time I spoke with a parent and explained that, just because your child did not see me do something, it doesn’t mean I didn’t, I could have retired years ago. Issues are often addressed privately, as not to embarrass children. You would not want a teacher to discipline your child in front of others, and neither do other parents. I wish your children well. First grade is the best age to teach! 😊
I hope public school works out for them and they enjoy it ❤ keep us updated. My kids have always gone to public school and I really wish I would’ve homeschooled them in their younger years but now that they’re teens I think it’s kinda too late to consider once they hit highschool. My sisters homeschool and I think it’s a common worry for parents that their kids might be behind but I don’t think it’s usually the case so I’m sure you’ve been doing great.
🥰
Mrs. Barons was my kindergarten teacher she made a difference in my life, she was amazing. She went out of her was to make every child special. I'm 61 and still think of her often.
At the end of the day the right thing to do is the thing that is best for Your family. If this feels like the right thing to do right now then by all means. If it doesn't work out for you and your family then you can always change the plan again later. ❤
There will be an adjustment period, so don’t be too upset if they struggle with the transition. I am sure they will do great because they can articulate very well. As a teacher and parent, you will definitely need to advocate for them if you feel any of them need help. Put all your concerns in email to their teachers especially if you are requesting additional services or testing. I know you all will do great!
And the fact they will make lifelong friends and can cope out in the real world with piers
Exciting journey 🙂 I’m still in touch with my art teacher after 54 years. Do what’s best for your family ♥️
Carolina, I think this is a Wonderful thing for you and the kids. Social interaction is super important and being a mom of twins, I saw a major difference in my kids once they started school. It gave them independence and allowed them to identify as individuals instead of one. You also deserve a break in the day to get done the things that you need to get done for you and for your family in a reasonable amount of time so that you’re not so exhausted physically and mentally. They will do great!!
Were the children tested for grade level or did school just pick grade for them?
I have that same nightgown lol
I got pushed along in k, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th. One of the first teachers that made a difference was the teacher in a different school district. He flunked me. It didn't seem like it at the time.
I remember asking my dad what he thought made the US great and he said natural resources, public education and democracy. 🤷🏻♀️
Your the volunteer person. Do that. Keep involved. Work at home to supplement there learning. I get you. I did both. Home and in school. Their young it will be fun for them. Your smart. You will know if you need to pull them out.
My niece struggles with her kids they are your kids age in Utah, she puts them in and then pulls them out. You have choice.
Caroline great decision. You sound like a busy lady. You will know if the children are enjoying themselves and learning. You can always take them back out and homeschool them. Best of luck and don’t be to hard on yourself.
You dont know until you try , but look at the time you have now for awhile to catch up on your busy stuff ,, i like your idea of working at the school pt possibly " it helps the momma heart " to see our kids in action with others ,,
It can't hurt to try
Very proud of you!!!!! When my son was young the trend was no daycare!!! My husband and I both worked and the guilt was tough but it was the best decision for my son, so always listen to your gut!!! Hope all works out!!! Socialization really is important. You got this!!!!😊
❤❤❤
Everyone goes threw feeling like that failed there children or others I think you and your family will make the right decision
❤❤❤🎉 hellos Mel's here
So seems like you don’t like public school but yet you are sending them!!
How old are your children?
schools all depend on the individual school.
I hope it all works out for you guys!!!
I think it is great that they are going to public school( not that were not doing a good job )but this lets them socialize with other kids and make friends. I remember some of my teachers but I also made friends that I am still in touch with, just give them time to settle in and get used to going to school Please do not feel like you have failed, you are only one person and can only do so much. I really think this will be good for all of you.
Looks like everyone is ready to embrace this new adventure & I think your precious children will do great in school. You definitely given them a steady beginning pre–school.
They will make great friends.
My kids had always gone to school but when my youngest was in 9th grade I decided to home school, she’s not the school type of kid and it’s the best thing I’ve done, so happy your kids are happy 😊
First, I firmly believe you have been a WONDERFUL, active, caring, patient Mom! 👏🥰
But I wondered how you EVER had so much patience with all the things you were juggling. I thought you MUST be WONDER WOMAN!! 😂🤪🤣
Secondly, I think the same as another viewer stated, you have given them an AMAZING start in life and taught them well. Now time for them to put all those skills and attitudes into practice and soar like eagles! 🤩😉
And . . . you will be an even BETTER Mom, wife, friend, YouTuber, all around!!! 😁👌
You will be SO much LESS stressed with all the time during the day to get household chores and projects done. You will be able to run errands and shop in a much calmer atmosphere.
So when the children come home you will be able to completely focus on them without distractions. And all evening you will be a less stressed wife and Mom. 😎🤘
You've got this! 👏👏👏
And just imagine . . . an even BETTER Carolina! 🎉🎈🎊
And your children will flourish with their new social skills! They will now learn to interact with other adults and activities in a way that you just won't believe! You'll be SO proud of them, even much MORE so than you are now! 💖🤗😁
I hope that all 3 of your children enjoy going to school and make some good friends there .
Carolina, I am a Biologist who quickly learned that I had limitations: I found that I WAS NOT an educator. Consequently, my sons attended public ( and private) schools. A parent must do what they feel is best for their children. ❤️
I am so glad you decided to try this. Like you said, you can always pull them out if you feel a need to. I think the key is to keep in contact with the teachers and ask questions if you have them. I think both you and the kids will enjoy it.
We had a season of home schooling, Our son has autism so I get it. You stay on top of everything and just get involved in school. Communication is always key!!!!!! Love your channel! <3
Awww congratulations
I sent my kids back to in-person school this year for the first time since COVID. My younger one had never been in person because covid hit and the next school year she started Transitional Kinder. Her reading has VASTLY improved since being in person. She’s in 2nd grade ad really struggled but now is doing really well. Math was not hard for her so she excelled in that during homeschool but the reading, man that was a struggle. I think every child is different but I know that having the foundation on in-person learning has really helped her this year, more so than any of the years she was homeschooled.
Not all public schools are bad there some very good teachers in public schools but its you to you to make sure the kids are improving by joining them on homework staying on top of what there doing and how there improving i hope it works out for you nd the kids ❤
I have mixed thoughts on homeschool vs public school. My kids went to public school. I think it is up to each set of parents.
I am so proud of you ❤
I've head good things about the school in Florence. My granddaughter went to a Pre-K center near there. She would have gone there too but unfortunately they had no room for out-of-county students. But 11 of her friends are in that Kindergarten class. Good luck!
Take it one day at a time! Do what’s best for your family and don’t feel bad or guilty…it’s your family your choice.
Teachers in my day were CONSERVATIVE (Thank God ) and had conservative values and didn't have Rainbow colored hair and nose piercings like they do now .and teachers in my day made a GOOD IMPACT on us in many ways ..if I had kids in this day and time I'd work two full time jobs if need be to send them to a good private conservative based school or find a parent who's a stay at home school conservative teacher to teach my kids if I had to work..I would NOT send them to a public school..
Thanks for another great family video. I appreciate how honest and real you are! I think you will find good changes in public schools over the years. I am 72 and too had traumatic experiences in school due to undiagnosed and portly understood learning disabilities ( I went on to earn top grades and have two Masters degrees). My children ‘s learning issues were barely understood at the time and I had to fight to get them special services. Now they are successful middle aged professionals. I think you will find teachers now better trained and able to help all kids on a wide spectrum of abilities and talents as well as respectful versus punishing of differences. God bless!
I hope it works out. I did well in school, but hated the cliques and popularity BS. Only 2 teachers stood out for me. Biology and choir. 1 teacher was the football coach and I learned absolutely nothing from him. 2 guess what he talked about. I don't even remember what he taught. Another was a math teacher who told racist jokes. (Predominantly white school) I was a good guesser when it came to tests. Made the honor roll all the time. Graduated early. Went to the 10 year reunion and nothing had changed. We were just older. Boy, you got me thinking!
AHH< IM SOOOHAPPY THE KIDS ARE HAPPY<<<LOOK AT SWEET GIDDY HOW HE CAME FORWARD ALL HAPPY<< ITS TRULY BEAUTIFUL…at first I got a pit in my stomach,,how sad for you…but also its a great choice so far,,IM SOOO HAPPY FOR YOU ALL THAT ITS WORKING OUT…I always has great teachers , i had personal memorable relationships with most of them, very positive friendships I created and fun times that I xonsider some of the most happiest days of my life.
