How I Homeschool
by The Old Schoolhouse

Everybody who homeschools has their own style, and yet it all comes out okay. This is the message I got from The Old Schoolhouse' newest e-book titled How I Homeschool. That's a pretty encouraging book if you are looking for some affirmation on your homeschool journey. (And aren't we all?)

In this book, 12 homeschoolers describe a day in their life. Some of these ladies get up at 5:30, some of them get up some time between 8 and 9 a.m. Some of them work for extra pay at home, some do not. Some of the ladies use the classical method, some unschool, some love Charlotte Mason.

What I found most fascinating about this book was the number of times the women mentioned being called to homeschool even before they had school-aged children, or any children at all, or in one case before they were even married! I found this fascinating because it mirrors my own story. I first heard about homeschooling in 1994, a full 4 years before my first child was born. I thought it was a great idea; but God had a little convincing to do with my husband!

At any rate, if you are looking for some encouraging insights into the homeschool lives of other real moms this will be a great read.

About Me

The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
