We homeschool so my daughter can be herself. I want her to love herself even more than I do (if possible).

I love the freedom that homeschooling allows us and we love the family bonds that develop as a result!

I homeschool because I don't believe in the 'one fits all approach' in schools where kids do not get enough play and hands on learning time. I want to let my children experience the world through play and art, hands on, with an open and exquisitve mind. I want to teach critical thinking and instill a love for learning and life. I want them to experience nature and human connection to the world around us. I want them to be children for as long as they can...

I am not currently homeschooling but am looking at this curriculum for next year! I want to homeschool for the connectedness that I feel it brings with me and my children!

Why homeschool? Because I want to continue exploring the world with my children, in every way.

I homeschool for the joy of waking up to learn and play all day with my beautiful, smelly, magical, curious, creative, silly, wonderful daughters.

The joy that comes when they are in the mud doing sciences, in the kitchen leaning math and best of all they don’t even know it.  Listening to them talk to their friend about things I don’t think many kids their age talk about. The eagerness that is on their faces when we read our books about Greece or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  So way to I Home school my family? I home school them to give them what they need that no one can give them Love of a Mother.

We homeschool for the freedom. Freedom to learn what we want, when we want, where we want, and how we want to. For the freedom to explore new places and ideas, and the freedom to sit just quietly when we need that too. We homeschool because we love our family and we like being together. We homeschool because we want to be able to enjoy our own activities and experiences without sacrificing family time.

Why?  You don't have to get up early. You can start your school day when your children are ready to learn.  You never have to wonder what they are learning about.  Your kids learn how to get along with people of all ages not just the kids their own age.

We home school because I really like the person that my children are becoming and I want to be a large part of creating that beautiful spirit instead of spending all of my time undoing what was done at school.

The last day our oldest son was in public school he came home off of the school bus with a black eye and swollen lip. When asking our son about this he said that at morning recess he had slipped on ice and hit the gravel with his face. Upon contacting the school no adult in the building had noticed or known about what happened. This was upsetting to us, we knew there was no big deal but for no person in the school to notice a child with a bruise and swollen lip, was outrageous.

That day on all 3 of our children have been home schooled.

We teach our children basic life skills, manners, respect, survival as well as academics. In the time they have been home schooled i have been told we have some of the most polite children, they are always asked to visit again, they all participate in their community actively and genuinely enjoy it.

Why Homeschool?

   To understand my son and to instill in him a love for learning that doesn't incude just arithmetic and ABC's, but the very foundations of what brings us together as human beings. To make sure that he is truly educated, not just institutionalized. To make sure that his socialization is just that, true togetherness, and not just recess or the bonding over a shared hatred of standardized test. Mostly though, to be close to my son and know at the end of the day that his character and future rests in the hands of his family. 

Thanks so much for the opportunity!
