You got to ask yourself, why would anyone be crazy enough to homeschool, in fact, I think most people want to know why wouldn’t you send your children to school, they need socialization….
Homeschooling children have many different facets to it, most superficial, but the ones that go deeper are the ones that I would like to talk about.
But first, how about we get the most common thoughts out there for discussion.
- How are your children socialized?
They are socialized the same way your children are, with other kids of cause. The difference is that they see a larger variety of kids and adults than their building school counterparts. They also travel to many different places to see their fellow homeschoolers and do activities that their counterparts don’t get the chance to do very often.
2. How do your children learn all the subjects they need to survive in the world we live in today?
Well, again the same as their in-school counterparts, they do set lessons (some by schools other by parents, depending on the schooling system used). Our children go through Nepsode ( North East Public School of Distance Education) .
3. Why would you want to have your children around ALL THE TIME, it can’t be healthy?
Hmm, you know this question really gets me both confused and a little vexed, I usually have to ask, why did you have children again?
The truth is it is healthy for the children to learn from their parents, they learn how to socially interact, behavioral practices and how to live within the world that we do.
They get this along with the love and support of their family and community as they travel through the homeschooling educational system.
Our children have been offered to go to school (yes, they have been inside a school before) and they have asked to stay with homeschooling. This isn’t because they feel pressured to stay, but because they genuinely love to be at home and with us.
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.
4. Does this mean that they don’t drive me NUTS??
Of cause 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 apologize 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..?
