Sometimes I really want to write in my blog, but I have no idea what to write about. Or, more accurately, I have too many ideas that take too much time to write about, and I get stuck because I don't have that time to spend. So in a moment of rare insight, I decided that making lists out of my favorite topics would be a quick and painless way to say what I want to say with little fuss and no transitions needed. Thus, my very first ever "10 Reasons Why" post. I hope to resurrect this idea often, and you'll know I have a lot on my to-do list when you see it ;-)
Why I am a homeschooling mom:
1. I always know what's going on in my children's education.
2. No rushing around like mad to get ready in the morning.
3. One-on-one instruction is priceless.
4. I actually like my kids and enjoy spending the day with them--and spending time together is the best bonding there is.
5. We can go places without the burden of the school day schedule looming over us.
6. We can take advantage of a nice-weather day at whatever time it arises.
7. They can wear leotards, pajamas, cat suits, whatever to school and no one minds.
8. I can wear my pajamas too, if it's going to be one of those kinds of days.
9. The kids get to be with their dad during the day when he works nights.
10. Choosing curriculum is actually pretty fun for geeky people like me!
One of the reasons I got my degree was thinking that someday it might come in handy if I ever wanted to homeschool. Good for you guys for doing it and sticking to it! :)
ReplyDeletewe, of course, think all the same things. i'm amazed at how much more we get done in a day than a teacher with 30 kids could! i mean, wow, our kids are all going to be wicked smart!
ReplyDeleteglad you're loving being with them all day!
Woohoo for homeschooling!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post! I know a lot of people who are either homeschooling or planning on homeschooling and I've always been curious why.
