Re: Why did you choose to homeschool - or why do you continue?

We started homeschooling because our daughter wasn't going to fit well into the standard age/grade divisions of our public school. We were also alarmed by the anti-intellectual environment of school and how ill-prepared local graduates were for college. (I work at the local state University) As we...

Re: Why did you choose to homeschool - or why do you continue?

Hello, I'm new to this board, but thought I'd jump right in! There's so many reasons why we chose to homeschool. We were very diappointed with the bad things our children were taught (by their peers) and not being taught (by their teachers). The schools out in my area are not good at all...

Like you, I don't know whether it is labeled "homeschool" when your child is under officil school age, but our home has always been a place where learning is not only encouraged, it is embraced and celebrated. When my daughter was born, my mother's girlfriend was showing her how to...

Re: Why did you choose to homeschool - or why do you continue?

The reason I give my family is one that basically sums it all up. I feel that they don't teach what they should teach, and do teach what I don't want taught. One thing that you always hear is how homeschool children are deprived socially. Well, that happens to be one of the reasons we homeschool...

Re: Why do you homeschool?

Hi! There are several reasons we decided to homeschool our two boys. First off, I had a hard time getting pregnant, so I couldn't just hand him off to a complete stranger for 8 hours a day, five days a week. Next, I didn't have children for someone else to raise. Also, I have been teaching them...

Re: Why do you homeschool?

Actually, Christine, Bree (short for Brianna) has been my goddaughter for all of her life so I didn't just meet her. Because of this, guess what?! At our last court hearing, the magistrate asked if I would like to adopt her and I smiled from ear to ear! We begin the proceeding on Jan. 22nd. So, she's...
