I like this article a lot, and I agreed with most of what the author had to say. Here's the beginning:
Quote:
When I first began home educating ten years ago I was very nervous. In part this fear was because everyone was always so positive about home education that I sometimes felt like I was buying snake oil. I searched for the negatives and couldn't find anyone to talk about them (well, other than the NEA, whom I didn't trust anyway). This is, in as honest a form as I can say it, what I wish someone had told me. My advice to new homeschoolers is as follows, take from it what makes sense for your family, leave the rest.

Love it. #10 is a personal favorite. It is so easy to get caught up in curriculum "ohhh shiny"

I liked it too. My fav is #2 -- I don't "teach" my oldest, but facilitate. Oh, and the paragraph about how it is reversible. That is what got us here to begin with. I convinced my dh by reminding him that we can take it a year at a time.
