As for why I would want my children to stay home, the same reason I love my husband around, my dog around… because I love their company and truly enjoy the experiences that we share.
Does this mean that they don’t drive me NUTS??
Of course they do, in fact, some days they drive me fair up the wall and back again more than once. But, the joys of homeschooling outway this ten to one. The kids get to travel around, learning as they go. They get to meet and be with homeschoolers, whether they be travelers, isolated, un-school or homeschool. The kids get to be and do what they need to become the best person they can be in life.
May I ask, which of these two pictures look more appealing?
I don’t know about you, but, the outdoor area looks better than the desks to me….
I am pro-homeschool and don’t apologise for being so. I see our children confident and happy. Unaffected by peer group pressure and enjoying the freedom to be themselves, grow and learn.
If you can see a future for your child or children to be happy, have a deep connection with you as a parent and learn along the way. wouldn’t you be in it..?
