Homeschooling is certainly not for everyone, and I have seen many failures and disasters.
I had reservations about even attempting it -- who would ever thinkyour children could learn more at home??? I couldgo on forever about the benefits that it has had for our family, notonly educationally, but emotionally and spiritually. It iscertainly an amazing lifestyle.
What is amazing is that there are no boundaries or limits. Mydaughter is taking everything from French to Bible History and isexcelling in math and grammar. Every homeschooling program isdifferent. I believe in a strong emphasis on math and grammarskills while building a spiritual foundation on studies of the Bible asit applies to character and ethics in todays world. My kidswill be able to graduate from homeschool with diplomas and will beprovided with college transcripts from Abeka Academy, where I purchasetheir books and video tapes.
Socialization? If you saw my 5 year old -- you'd neverquestion that homeschoolers lack social skills LOL He has noqualms about getting up in front of an entire group of people to talkabout his beloved rabbits. He's the etiquette expert and canflawlessly pledge his allegiance to our great flag.
Sports? Not a problem there either. My daughter hasparticipated in JV volley ball and basket ball and we also go up to therec center to "shoot some hoops".
The kids volunteer, earn money, are active in church and are well rounded citizens.
Our local public school has been impressed with my efforts and has been very supportive.
