I have been a homeschool mom for ten formal years. Aaggh! I have a sophomore in high school! I seriously need to get my house in order for graduation in three years…because it will take me that long!
Homeschooling is a challenge, but it is also the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. To see my oldest son LOVE learning is so incredibly rewarding for me.
I have a child with cognitive delays and another with three learning disabilities…and both of them are incredibly smart! My oldest son is so out-of-the-box in his thinking that he would be absolutely miserable in a public school setting.
And there are so many rewards! I cannot tell you the number of benefits kids get when they are homeschooled!
YOU know your kid best! YOU know your child better than any teacher knows your child! That is what qualifies you to homeschool! We all know the teachers in the public school who have a teaching license and are there to fill an opening. Do you really think you can’t do better than they are? It doesn’t take a teaching degree to teach your kids! It takes love, time, and commitment. All of which you have already made and taken in order to parent your kids! You’ve already gotten a head start! You can do this, Mom!
