I was led by God to homeschool my children. My family travels A LOT, so homeschooling the kids gives them the consistency that they need and they do not have to constantly transition into new schools and various levels of curriculums. Homeschooling (in my opinion) when done right can be very enriching for children as they get one on one attention from their parent during learning activities versus competing with 30 other children in a typical classroom. We have been homeschooling since 2006 and my children are doing wonderfully. In fact at last years testing they all scored above average when compared to children who are tested in the public school setting. Another primary reason is that my children are not being exposed to the secular humanistic approaches (evolution and the like) that public school children are exposed to, making them question God and His creation. If you are not for God you are against Him. In addition, a lot of people have the first assumption that homeschool children are not socialized- I can assure you that if anything they are over-socialized : ) Though they are not exposed to the daily negative social setting, as in a traditional school setting, they know just fine how to deal with the bullies of this world without having the first hand experience that has been taken as the norm in today’s classrooms : ) In other words, I can teach my children that fire hurts and the proper management of fire- without exposing them to the hot flames- if you get the metaphor : )
