Is Homeschooling Easy?
I admire those who have chosen the path of homeschooling. Homeschooling is a tough undertaking and is not for the faint of heart. I used to think that those who taught their children at home did it because they were lazy. They simply shoved a book in front of their child and they expected that child to learn. I was so wrong. People who homeschool put so much time and effort into choosing the curriculum that is best for their family. Whether they choose an online curriculum or join a local co-op of other families who homeschool, they put a lot of thought into what information they are using to educate their child.
From reading the blogs of friends who homeschool, I have gained so much respect for their effort. It seems to me that everything they do becomes a chance to teach their children. They visit historical landmarks, museums and zoos. They are very involved in everything they study. I want to go to school all over again and be taught at home. I would be one of three million children who are being taught at home.
There are many reasons for choosing to homeschool. Whatever reasons each family has used to reach their decision, I wish them success.

Yes, Karen, I quite agree and the proof is in the pudding! That which the government-run system is producing these days is, in my humble opinion, largely a disaster.

Home schooling is tough. It requires proper knowledge and skill of the parent in order to teach her children the right way. I bet parents who do homeschooling had put on so much effort for the child. I could not help but admire their perseverance and patience regarding the child’s ability to learn.

Home schooling is hard. I prefer my child to go to school rather than home schooling. School is also better because of the child can make new friends.

Our son went to a public charter school from 3rd grade on. Worked like a charm, and since Nevada is absolutely horrible in terms of education at least I was on hand for the whole experience. Not only does he write like a dream, but his vocabulary and reading scores top the charts. He would not have gotten that attention going to these nasty (Nevada) public schools, I’m positive about that…!
