It was the best thing(for me), and it helped me have very well rounded interests. We did a LOT of extra curricular things after schoolwork, and it was so nice to be able to stay that close to my mom while we were doing it. Kudos to you for going through the work for your kids! They won't realize how much work YOU do until they are older... :) but someday they will. I plan(should everything go according to plan) to home school my children(right now I have one, but plan for more)<BR/><BR/>P.S.<BR/>Do you get the dreaded, "What about their socialization?" question every other minute? That's all I heard, as if I had some communicable disease that would hamper me from having friends.*insert eye roll here*T@iy@https://www.blogger.com/profile/13905658959492379459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8878106756907253113.post-74255910384705956772008-05-31T14:48:00.000-04:002008-05-31T14:48:00.000-04:00When I think back to my own childhood, in some way...When I think back to my own childhood, in some ways I think I would have loved homeschooling, because I did love being at home. And I actually got homeschooled by my older brothers and sisters to the extent that I could read and write pretty well before starting school. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I did love most of my teachers, too. The other thing is that I was in school very many years ago, and I know things are a lot different these days. <BR/><BR/>All I do know is, you sure have to be committed to the idea to homeschool! What a lot of work! <BR/><BR/>The National Spelling Bee just completed again--I see a lot of homeschooled kids in those finals.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.com
