I remember when I was in the fifth grade our math teacher would make us do these entire worksheets of division and multiplication problems and we had to complete it within a time limit or we had to keep staying after school every day until we were able to complete it within the time period
I never saw how they served any purpose except to stress me out
The last one day someone holds a gun to my head and demands that I quickly solve math problems I don't see how this is useful

It is exhausting being in the classroom and a good portion of it is classroom management. Over here in NZ it is not uncommon to have classes of 25 plus children and in that mix there are children who have diagnosed special needs and those who have behavioural issues. But I love my job and my relationships with children comes first or the teaching and learning part goes wayward.
Parents who properly discipline their children at home do not need to worry about discipline at school. Most parents I know physically discipline their kids to keep them in check and it works, they just do it on the down low so their children are not taken by child services. The children you see that are misbehaving at schools - many factors for that of course but mostly because parents have been told they are not allowed to smack to correct and so the children know adults cannot lay a hand on them. Children know they can get away with bad behaviour at a young age and that is not good for society.

Any scratch, scrape, bruise or abrasion is felony child abuse in many states, there is no lesser charge. Let that sink in.
Your 10 year old boy getting a little big for his britches, starts yelling at mom when dads not around?
Mom has enough, grabs him by the arm and leads him to his room.
“Concerned neighbor” in the apartment next door dials 911, they find a hand print or scratch on the boys arm? Mom’s going to jail, 1 count felony child abuse.
The way the law is written if she goes to trail she will be found guilty and likely do 2 years in federal prison.
Happens everyday.
This world (which belongs to satan) doesn’t want disciplined children. Children who think before they act, who contemplate their actions.
All Christians should be making arrangements for their sons and daughters to be separate.

I did not, but my kids and grandkids go with out things so they can homeschool. Both parents working out side the home has its expenses . Work clothing for both, Daycare. take home meals because they are tired. Auto expenses gas tires insurance normal up keep.
some folks will have help in the home yard care or housework. The system has our kids for 6-7 hours we spend time with the home work and telling them to listen to the teacher.
Not a class room....

This may be true but maybe not. I was single with 7 kids homeschooling 4 while working 50+ hours a week. I didn't know how I was going to manage, but God worked it all out.
I agree that as things are presently in many homes, homeschooling seems impossible. But I have seen God do so many incredible things that I know what is possible.
Often, when we view our problems, we view solutions in terms of our present reality and change seems impossible. But if we would view them from God's perspective, we would find ourselves more inclined to believe He will bring things to pass.
I know that you know all this. Just a friendly reminder.

Proverbs 13: 24 "Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him."
As Christians, we have a responsibility to instruct children in the ways of the Lord. Discipline is a necessary tool to ensure children remain on the narrow path that leads to life. In the first instance, discipline should take the form of structure and religious instruction. If a child does not adhere then there is certainly a biblical precedent for stronger action.

Or not. Proverbs 23:13. The rod is not for "guiding". Most versions of the Bible use "strike" or "beat". Children are not sheep. They are rebellious sinners. The modern way is to avoid any consequences for bad behaviour. If the world was a better place as a result, I would agree. It's not. My daughter has raised her kids according to the world's way. She has four obnoxious brats. It does not have to be like that.
