Public Education.
In colonial times, the Puritans had started a town school system financed by local taxes in parts of New England. In the 1840s, Horace Mann (1796-1859) promoted the idea of public primary school for all children. As the first secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education, Horace Mann also founded the first school for the training of teachers Soon, the idea of public education caught on.
By 1850, most children in the well populated parts of the North attended public elementary schools. Most states in other sections of the Country had at least a couple elementary schools. Many people called the new schools free schools because parents did not have to pay tuition; but all taxpayers had to pay taxes
to help support the schools. The public schools of the 19th century gave students a good foundation in Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, History, Literature, The Sciences, and Basic Morality. Many of the teachers were Christians, and the textbooks were usually written by people who understood and believed the basic teachings of the Bible. Students also read and memorized the works of many American poets and authors.
Today in the year of 2011, they continue to leave out even more of proper morals in schools. They leave out the most important thing, which is trusting and believing in the Bible and Jesus!
So that's why there is such awful things that happen in some public schools like, bulling, suicide, unplanned teen pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse, homosexuality and Shootings.
They now teach Sex Ed and Etc.....The schools are no longer like they were in the 1850s,
God and the Bible were thrown out because the U.S has become more liberal in their thinking, without concern for Biblical values and morals.
That is why, my parents Home-school me so I don't pick up any of that junk!
I am very greatful that I do not witness those horrific things or tragedies first hand.
Thank you, for reading!!

The history of Farm Families and Plantations.
Hey Everyone,
Today I am, going to talk about my subject's in History.
Which are Family Farms and Plantations.
Family Farms.
In 1850, more than 80 percent of America's 23 million people still lived on farms or in small towns.
A farmer faced many challenges in the farming life. But thankfully for the inventions it made plowing and farming a lot easier, Some of the inventions are the Steel Plow, Reaper, and Combine.
Farm Families worked hard to make a living, and each family member did his share of chores
Farm life, though busy, was seasoned with fun and laughter and offered many rewards, including
abundant food, safe surroundings, close family ties, and the satisfaction of a job well done.
At the close of the day, families often read stories and sang together; many families finished the day with Bible reading and prayer time.
The farm provided a number of places for children to romp and play after their chores were completed. When wheather permitted, they played outdoors in the orchards, pastures, and woods.
On a rainy day, they might play hide-and-seek in the barn. Between work an play, farm childern never ran out of things to do.
Steel plow
The Reaper.
The combine.
Plantation.
Though most lived on small farms, some Southern families managed large plantations
which used slave labor to produce cash crops such as Tobacco, Rice, Sugar cane, and Cotton.
Whereas farm famliles did all of the physical labor themselves, the plantation family supervised
the labor and managed the production and sale of their crops. Most plantation owners valued their slaves and treated them well.
The men managed the slaves in the field, while the woman supervised the household slaves.
Why do, you think it was great to live in that time?
Leave me a comment anwsering my questian.
Thank you, for reading have a great day!
P.S
It would be great to live in those times because everyone worked with eachother
and had bonding time!
And there was never a moment of boredom, for the children they alway's kept busy!

My Health book and it's surprises.
Hi Everyone,
Today is about my Health book and how it likes to surprise me.
I am in unit 1 it is called Physical Fitness: The active life..Aka Chapter 1-2.
The Cell Membrane is the part that surrounds and protects the other parts of the cell.
It forms the outer most layer through which nutrients and oxygen maybe transported
into the cell and waste such as carbon dioxide maybe removed from the cell.
The Cell Membrane is very selective, allowing certain substances to enter the cell;
if the membrane shall ever malfunction, the delicate, vital inner part's of the cell could
easily be invaded by harmful substances from outside the cell membrane, and the cell would
die in a short time.
This is it alive.
A dead Cell Membrane.
Lymph Nodes, enlarge bunches of lymphatic tissue located at various points along the
lymph vessels, in which the lymph is cleansed of debris and microbes.
Lymph nodes are somewhat bean-shaped and may come in a variety of sizes, though
most are about 1inch long.
Lymph Node.
Heart and Aorta.
Cardiac Muscle.
Thank you, for reading have a excellent day!

My favorite thing in History that I studied.
Hello today,
Is all about History and what my favorite thing was that I studied about.
So it "The Pony Express" that really got my attention on what it is about.
The Pony Express was looking for young, skinny, well trained on how to ride a
horse and to always be ready for death. They must be expert riders it first started
at St. Joseph, Missouri where they would have young Men and Boy's try out, they mostly preferred orphans. The paper in San Francisco ran this ad in March 1860, to attract different riders and see what there experience was on a Horse.The rider most have a mail bag over his/her shoulder at all times to be able to carry the mail. After 10 miles they came to a relay station where he/her would mount a new fresh horse. When the rider has reached 8 such mail transfers he hands the mail bag to a new man who continues on a new fresh horse.
Those would be the poster's you would see for a man/boy wanted for work. "Not over 18 must be expert rider, willing to risk death daily.Wages is $25 per week".that's what the tiny writing says.
This is a stamp from the Pony Express mail that they would put on the mail. These are very important without them the mail can not go any where.
This would be the map they travel.
Thank you, for reading have a nice day.

Hey Yall,
Today is another Blog day so ill tell you guy's some more about some interesting thing's I am studying. Here are a list of the Subjects ill talk about.
1. Science.
2. History.
4. Reading.
Okay let's start with Science if you have read my most recent Blog you know
that I have been in my test, book on chapter 9 well say goodbye I did chapter 10 and I completed my test book!!! Yay!!!! So now that I finished my Science book I am going to start my Health book soon. I will tell some of my favorite chapters
and what they are about! I will have to go with chapter 6 which is about Bird's.
I am going to tell some interesting fact's about these creatures.....Most bird's have very sharp hearing like the Owl, for example, they can hear well enough to hunt for small rodent's by sound alone, even when it cannot see them. Some other bird's, such as the Cave Swiftlet, use their sensitive ears to "see" in caves; the birds produce clicking sounds as they fly and navigate by the echoes.
Alright now time for History! Hmmm today I did Time Line Test which was very
fun and interesting like in 1807 First successful steamboat, 1815 Miner's safety lamp was invented, 1831 the Reaping machine was developed.....With out a Miner lamp alot of Miners would have not been able to see or probably would have made it very difficult to mine.
Now finally but not least Reading one my favorite subjects, The book I just
completed is Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen....This is about a Boy named Brice and a Girl named Julianna and they love eachother in the 9th grade but they dont relize it untill there lives
are turned around.
Thank you, for reading have a great day!

My fun life as a homeschooler.
Hi Everyone,
Lately Ive been studying some pretty neat thing's in some of my
Subjestc's so ill share with you guy's what some of those thing's are.
Okay here's one of the subject's and what Ive been doing,
Math I'm doing Pre-Algerbra and I'm studying about Multiplying-Subtracting
with Fraction's and it's pretty cool when you think about it really well.
Like some of them almost trick Me and I'm like WHOA who would have guessed
that!!!! Then other times I study about Sides of shapes and there angles,
Some of the angles are Obtuse, Acute, Right Angle, and Left Angle.
One of the other Subjects is History, today 1-24-11 I studied about
Cyrus McCormick and how he became a millionaire with his invention's
He donated alot of that money to the gospel ministry of Dwilight L Moody.
Only 6,000 families in the entire South had over 50 slaves in 1850.
In Science I completed my book so I'm doing my Test Book and I'm on
chapter 8 in my test book. That is about the Earth's magnetic field, it is
awesome to know all this stuff about the Earth. Like that a vast doughnut shaped bands that consist of protons and electrons of the solar wind is called Magnetosphere.
Spanish I am doing different times of the day,ill give you guy's some examples. At 9:00, At 10:00, At 11:00, At 12:00, and At 1:00 now let's
see them all in Spanish. A las nueve, A las diez, A las once, A las uno, and
A las douce.
Last Thursday we went on a field trip to Table Stone Mountain.
It was really interesting and neat how it form's which I will explain to you guy's. Table Mountain is an example of inverted topography. Topography describes a formation that is a mountain or a hill that used to be a valley floor. An example of
how this happens is when a lava flow flows down a canyon and fills the bottom and forms basalt is left, forming a plateau with inverted topography. Table Mountain.

The wonders of homeschooling
Hi Everyone,
I'm going to talk about what I do as a Homeschooler...So what I start with every day
is Bible Study, and prayers.
All my subject's are Bible Study, Science, History, Grammar, Reading, Spelling, Math, Spanish, PE and extra curricular activities. Like Art and other fun stuff.....
I am also a part of a Homeschooling group, where I go to play sport's every Tuesday
at 12:45 pm....We play Basketball, Softball, Dodgeball, and Broomball...I do not really
like Broomball, I prefer Basketball though because I am best at it!!! Lol.
My favorite thing to do in my free time is go to youth group on Wednesday,
our group is called Awake And Alive!! Hehe I came up with the name!!!! :)
My leader's name is Jeremy, He is one of the best leader's I've met!
One of my favorite outdoor activities is that I enjoy going outside to use my Ripstick, I'm not perfect at it, I have fallen a couple
of times but I can pull off some sweet moves. I have used my Ripstick so much that I have worn down my back wheel to the plastic!!!
Now that is TRUE use of it!!
I love going on field trip's and such...My favorite place was Yosemite.
Here is a picture.
Isnt it beautiful??? I know it is haha!!!
Wow look at the view??? Whoa, that is a HUGE WATERFALL!!!! :)
Thank you for, reading have a great day!
