Five Reasons Why Homeschooling is Crazy
Is homeschooling a crazy idea? Yes. And no.
Five Reasons Why Homeschooling is Crazy
- Your kids are with you all the time.
- Your kids are with you all. The. Time. It bears repeating.
- You are completely responsible for the education of your children.
- Your kids won’t spend a lot of time around other children the same age.
- Your children may not learn what they are “supposed” to for their grade level.
I don't know what this picture has to do with this post, I just thought it was funny.
Five Reasons Why Homeschooling Makes Sense
- Your kids are with you all the time. You get to experience the good, the bad and everything in between together as a family.
- Your kids are with you all. The. Time. It bears repeating. You have the opportunity to protect tender hearts and teach by example.
- You are completely responsible for the education of your children. You get to decide what they learn, when they learn and how they learn it. You can include or exclude the things that don’t mesh with their individual learning styles or your family’s values.
- Your kids won’t spend a lot of time around other children the same age. They’ll make friends with kids who are older and kids who are younger. They’ll learn to treat people of all ages and races with respect – from babies to the elderly. They’ll be better prepared for the “real world” when they find themselves working alongside people of all different ages and ethnic groups.
- Your children may not learn what they are “supposed” to for their grade level. They will have the ability to work ahead or take more time with what they are learning and the freedom to explore their unique interests.
Homeschooling is not for every family. It is one of many choices for educating your children. But for MY family, it has truly been a blessing.
