One of the craziest things about homeschooling is realizing how much of the school day is fake.

I was a classroom teacher for 20 years.

99% of the time in the classroom is spent correcting kids, waiting for the class to calm down, and giving procedures.

And then when they finally get to the work, it's is busy work and test prep.

None of it is real education.

Your kid can learn more in two focused hours at home than he learns in seven hours inside the government school machine.

And then he gets his childhood back.

That’s the part nobody tells you.

Pro tip: if you have 52 million people on welfare/government assistance you don't have a labor shortage.

Cockpit video from our opening flyover of @Freedom250 last night.

Thank you America for all that you are and all that you will be. Thank you for trusting me.

I'll have more to say about it later. My college roommate and one of my best friends Joe Pitts was on my wing for this one.

God Bless America and long live The Republic.

Fairfax residents continue to feel the @FairfaxDems & @vademocrats tax heat. Look at all the taxes on food in Fairfax City - FOUR separate taxes for the chicken, plus tax for the plastic bag.

1x chicken with 5x taxes adding OVER 10% cost = Dem affordability

Reminder for all young parents:

You only get:
- 1 Summer with your baby
- 3 with your toddler
- 9 with your child
- 5 with your teenager

This time is precious. Don’t rush it.

Refuse everything that would lead most people to give up.

Refuse it.
Rise from the dead 1000 times.
Commit to never stay down & never give up.
Everything you want is on the other side of struggle.

Still insane to me that the Red Sox simply posted an old video of opening day in America and it was so radicalizing that they had to turn off replies

[Kevin | Large Fam Dad @LargeFamDad]

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.

Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.

Great guy, I'm happy for him.

But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.

What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.

Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.

Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.

Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.

Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.

Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.

Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.

-----------------

When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.

Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.
