Homeschool Education: Is It For You?

I homeschooled our older son from grade 5-12; our younger son from pre-K through 11th grade (one more year to go).  Beginning in high school, they each have taken two courses each year from outside teachers with quite a bit of independent work during the high school years.    The most time consuming parts of homeschooling for moms is the younger years, grades K-8 and even then, it's not all day every day.  A bit of organization, a lot of prayer and a love for your children are the main requirements.    

I have several blog posts about homeschooling and education in general.  Check them out if you are interested.

Homeschooling is not for everyone but the plusses outweigh the minuses in my book.   I highly recommend it for all families to at least give it a try, especially when the children are younger.  Do the research and ask questions of other moms who have walked this road.    You won't regret it.  :)

Virginia is a  good friend of mine and a prolific blogger, author and teacher.  For those who homeschool, or those considering it, check our her free e-book, The Real Life Homeschool Mom, now offered online at THIS LINK.
