Education and Homemakers

When I tell people that I want to be a stay at home mom, they ask "then why are you even going to college." The world today has this mind set that being a mother means you don't need to do anything and that you don't have an education. They don't see how you can use your degree, if you choose to pursue one. A mother's degree can be used to help teach her children and to be an example to them of the importance of gaining an education. If we get into a mindset that a mother does not have to earn a college degree, then when will it stop? Would it get to the point of questioning if they need an education at all for motherhood? What the mother's teach their children is potentially how the world will be shaped. They are shaping the children that will someday become the world's new leaders. A mother's area of interest can teach their children so many important skills and abilities. Our educations can be used in so many important ways and that includes raising children.
