Literally stopping house work to write this blog & go with the flow.
I had a bit of a sombre moment in these early moments.
I went to my old junior school (my friend’s little one goes there & i offered to give her a lift).
Walking around the old playground brought back a lot of memories for me.
I remember the old trim trail & the climbing equipment.
I remember lining up & smiling at the boy i liked back then.
I remember running in & out of the hedge row near the pond & hiding from teachers when playtime was over.
I remember Lucy Locket getting stuck up a tree near the big dome shaped bush.
Out of all my years at school, time at Junior school was my favourite.
I was looking around at the old grounds today, watching my little one (who’s home educated) running around happy & i couldn’t help but think.
Maybe she was missing out?.
Missing out on meeting that boy & having her 1st school crush.
Missing out on the talent shows & sports days.
The buzz of shopping for the new school year supplies (bags, stationery, new shoes etc).
I know deep in my heart home education is for us (my intuition screams at me whenever i second guess & start to doubt myself).
I don’t trust the current system & secondary school was a bitch for me (and i did come across a few bully bitches through the years at secondary school also).
I don’t agree with extortionate school uniform prices.
I don’t agree with school holiday prices sky rocketing just to take your little one’s away on holiday.
I don’t agree with the competitive curriculum.
I don’t agree with the school fines for lateness or absence.
I don’t agree with the lax bullying policies.
There’s no freedom or encouragement for kids to follow their own interests or learning path.
It’s all very 1 path for everyone & if the path/way of teaching doesn’t suit you, then you’re going to struggle. Then you get labelled the problem child (with many different stereotypes attached).
Even some of the playground parents are competitive (“my child’s doing this, that, going to xyz” etc).
And don’t get me started on the bitchiness
/gossiping (I’m sure we have observed many parents doing this & thought wtf?).
I’m very much a freedom fighter/rebel. I’ve always felt i never fitted in growing up & now i know why. I wasn’t born to fit in. I was born to stand out.
My path is unique to me.
Just as your path is unique to you.
I’m not sure if this blog has turned into a bitch/vent or if somewhere you might find something insightful.
All i know in these moments is that my intuition is stronger than ever as I’m breathing deeply & fully listening/trusting myself.
Also 6 planets are in retrograde ๐
(Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, & Mercury.)
I best get on with the housework/clutter clear out.
Wherever you are in the world/Great Mother Gaia. I hope you have a blessed day/night.
