Does Anyone Ever Do This?
I just got back from the School eating luch with Taylor. My son loved it! I think he would have stayed if I would have left him. He is usually very clingy, but he was so curious about the other kids. I don't think I have ever seen him act like that before. Does anyone else ever have doubts about Homeschooling? I haven't even started yet and I already have doubts. I wonder will I be making the right decsion for my kids? Our school district is HUGE and I am really not that uncomfortable with them being where they are now, its just the next set of schools in our district that I am worried about. We have an upper Elementary School and then a middle school, then a Freshman Acadamy, then the High School. I know that the middle school is BAD! No way around that. When I visit the girls school ( where they are now) I feel like they are okay. But I have so much doubt about everything. I don't like some of the values that I feel like my girls are being taught. I know that my husband and I are responsible for instilling the type of values and morals into our kids that we want to be there. Anyways, Im sorry to blabber, butI just always have such mixed emotions after I come back from visiting the school. I have really tried to stay away this year, simply because I know I am planning on Homeschooling and I guess maybe I don't want to see anything over there that might change my mind. I substituted last year, butI took my name off the list this year. I am trying to distance myself from the school and the people there. Most think your crazy if you mention Homeschooling. I think its a great idea and I am thankful to live in a state where it is not hard to homeschool and ifI decide to do it, I can freely. I wil stop blabbering for now and am going to go check out Rod and Staff curriculum. God Bless!!!!!!!!!

Making the decision to homeschool
Posted by Lachney1
There are some good things about school, but when you start writing down the pros and cons, you see that there are more pros to homeschooling, than cons. I had my oldest in kindergarten and she had some good and bad times. I kept her out for 1st grade, but then had to put her back in for 2nd. After that, we made the decision not to send her back at all. She had some bad experiences in 2nd and her teacher even recommended that I homeschool her. Yes, there are lots of children to play with, but everything that these kids learn at home, is going to be said and did at school. We are experiencing that just being in church. There are even bullies in church. We've met quite a few of those.
Blessings,
