I homeschool so that I, not the public schools, can lay a moral foundation for my children. So that I can teach them right from wrong and guide them through the day's challenges.
I homeschool so that I can be with my children and know their hearts, and so they can be with me and know my heart.
I homeschool so that our family is the number one influence in their lives, rather than peers and teachers.
I homeschool so that my children can "have a life" outside of school. Eight hours spent traveling and in school, 1-3 hours doing homework, chores, dinner ...when do they get to climb trees, curl up with a book, collect rocks, draw pictures...
I homeschool so that my children can learn at their own paces, not be pulled along or held back by 25 other dear children.
I homeschool because my heart and my God tell me it's the right thing for our family, and I am thankful every day that I can.
