I was inspired by Molly at Countercultural School to share a reason we love homeschooling.  I, too, love the way you can "do school" wherever you go. 

My reason to homeschool is simple....IT ISN'T BORING!  It  has been a challenge to find things that interest Pickles but are appropriate for him to learn.  We struggle with the gap between his ability and his maturity but with homeschooling we can bridge it beautifully!

Learning from REAL books and putting our own thoughts on paper.

As a former Early Childhood Educator and now a mom I've always held the opinion that little ones can learn about BIG things as well as older children.  I think that is why I love Charlotte Mason and Classical Education so much.  You share the world with your children and they learn that grown-ups are still learning too!  What an example we are to our children when we show them that learning never stops.
