What a day... woke up at 5am today from an event that ended past midnight last night in Cebu. We headed to the airport and as soon as we arrived, we went to Ultra for The 1st ever The Masters Academy (TMA) Fun day. Over a hundred families went and i would say it was a big success. We had lots of fun!
Yes, we've been homeschooling our kids for the past 2 years and we are very happy with the results. Our Kids are more confident, what they learn are filtered and we spends load of time having fun together. Here are some frequently asked questions about the program:
- Yes, tuition is cheaper but we spend more on practical projects and books.
- We follow an international program set by TMA to make sure our kids learn. Its also accredited by DepEd.
- We meet every other wed with other parents so our kids interact with each other, and yes, they still have music, art & physical education. Its cool cause were learning too. :)
- What makes us proud is that we know this is what the Lord wants. Deuteronomy 6:6-9 says "These commandments that i give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
Clearly God wants parents (specially fathers as leaders of the family) to step up. God doesn't want us to pass on the obligation of teaching our kids to others. We are the experts because we love our kids. The most important thing we can teach to our kids is fear of the Lord.
