I homeschool my four children becauseit is the best education for my children. I have moved three times in two years with my husbands job. I used to have them in a Christianschool, where I taught. I have an education degree. The christian school was pretty good,except that there were parents that had their children in the school for other reasons than of a good christian education.
I went to a public school when I was a child. I was so mistreated and had no socialization. My children are active in church, soccer with our county, boy scouts, girl scouts and many other things. I have more time to be with my children and they have more activities now than they would if they were in public school. I work a full time job from 11 pm until 7am, so I can be with my children to give them the best life.
My childrens state tests; tests them a grade level higher in every subject. They are the most friendly and outgoing children. I would have never been this way, and I was exposed to "the world".
I do not like parents that homeschool for selfish reasons. I am held accountable for my childrens education and I will not let my children suffer in any way. It works best for my children, because it gives them stability in a unstable work world.
This is how I am with my homeschooling. I agree that there are people who should not be homeschooling, but they have the right to do it.
You cannot put all homeschoolers is a tight group. There are many people out there that have problems. I think society today needs to take account for their own actions and quit blameing everyone and everything for their problems.
The parents who homeschool out of an isolationist philosophy raise self centered children who can't make friends.
The parents who homeschool out of laziness (want to sleep in) raise lazy, uneducated kids.
The parents who homeschool because they feel its the best education for their children, and they have a routine, and they socialize at every church function and go on field trips with others usually raise well rounded, intelligent children....the only thing is they also should be trained that other kids who are not homeschooled can be just as godly as they are because sometimes there is a pride factor there that should not be.
