I tell my friends that *I* am a better mom because I homeschool--better than I was when my kids were in public school--but not better than anyone else. It works well for our family, but other choices are just as valid, depending on each particular situation.tawdrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04387924582172199235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342678514217403434.post-88168962105759045882010-02-18T14:10:49.086-05:002010-02-18T14:10:49.086-05:00This is the greatest post ever.

We are part of an awesome co-op that is very eclectic in its membership, which is awesome cuz there is so much to learn from every style. <br /><br />I briefly put my son into school a couple of weeks ago for 2 days. It was the worst experience ever. He hated it and said it was his worst day ever. And he's never said that before in his life. Now I am not against school, but I just couldn't make him continue after that. <br /><br />Now I am more convicted about homeschooling than ever. I think there are good schools out there and some chidlren may thrive in them. But at least around here, the education being offered is sub-par in my opinion, unless you pay for private Montessori or Waldorf education. <br /><br />That said, the most important thing to me is respecting people's choices about education. Education is just another arm of parenting. You can either choose to be really involved in it or not, regardless of whether you are a homeschooler. <br /><br />I love being involved in my children's learning. It is so much fun and that is a big part of the joy of homeschooling. Yay for homescool!!!

It's a possibility I've been considering even though my children are in elementary school already and one is about to head to middle school.Kim Crouch (AWIN)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07011570791989454319noreply@blogger.com
