The past few months have been labelled the worst days of my daughter’s life after being enrolled into the public schooling system, yes she is now in the โmiry clayโ. Previously she attended a private pre-school then was home-schooled, and partly online schooled which was another episode because she was struggling to be noticed among the โone-percent’sโ.
I spent years showering her with love, teaching her respect, discipline, manners, Godliness and so much more, having her now enter an environment where none of the above mentioned has been thought caused her to be in so much pain emotionally. Why should a child have to be so stressed?
This experience has really opened my eyes because it shows that the lack of love in our society starts from home, parents are coaching their children to be mean to others, they are breeding criminals, wicked, disgusting mean, disrespectful little children surround my daughter on a daily basis hurling insults without reason, but how can we blame them? when this is the norm within the walls of their various homes. It is most likely what they hear and see. Their parents probably have never held their hands and prayed with them not even one day in their life, nor have they instilled any type of values or ethics into their tender minds. Wickedness is all they know.
Whilst there are good teachers who are fair and very assertive in the way they address the unruliness, they are far and few and clearly outnumbered by the ones who are a major part of the problem.
My prayers are going up on a daily basis for all schools at all levels that there be an uprising of discipline and love so that wisdom can take root. What can a child learn in an environment like that?
There is already a pattern in progress, but I am not the parent that will sit around and wait till my child becomes a punching bag at the hands of another child. I will sue the parent of the child that takes God out of their thoughts, for failing to be a proper parent and Sue the Ministry of Education for their dysfunctional facilities and all its attributes, then I will take it to the Lord in Prayer.
I have already arrived at the conclusion that the less time she spends around the children in the school the better for her so I made a sound decision for her not to partake in any activities apart from mandatory schooling and academics going forward. Watch her rise from the dirt and become somebody valuable in society because God is in these details.
We do not need favour from man, watch the Lord Jesus make her the head cornerstone for his Glory.
Happy Eight years to my Princess ! I speak Life, Love, Wholeness, Peace, Joy and Wisdom over your life in the mighty name of Jesus, Hallelujah ! The love of a mother and the love of God is more than enough.
