Yep, we do it, a lot of families to it these days.
No I’m not here to convince you that you should. It’s a personal decision and not one to be taken lightly.
There are lots of things to consider before you make this decision, year in and year out you’ll reevaluate your decision as your kids get older.
My grandpa had a saying “Don’t be down on what you’re not up on”. It’s a hard thing to do, that is, not to be down on something you’re not up on. Some things in life you just don’t like and you may not even have a reason so you’re down on them.
I know I can be that way.
What does that have to do with home schooling? Home schooling is often misunderstood. But people are inherently down on it, especially teachers or anyone that has worked in a school system. They are convinced that a classroom environment is the best environment.
Of course they have a vested interest in promoting schools, they work there 🙂 It’s what they went to school for. They love the children, lots of them and the more the merrier.
