In my sc...LOVE....I have strong opinions on it too. In my school, if parents didn't like how we did things, they'd threaten to home school, finally do it, and the kid would be back in 3 months, much worse off than he started. There are some families in my ward who home school too. I had 1 as a beehive and she could barely read. Made me sad. Another in my Mia Maid class now is brilliant. Anyway...I've read some interesting blogs about people who homeschool and model their lives after Little House on the Prairie and teach their kids the way Jefferson was taught. Weird. (yes, I'm judgemental too) I'll send you the links. Just interesting.Troy and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298666441434679099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1989586293877971034.post-45817022990941578662012-04-02T20:54:11.318-05:002012-04-02T20:54:11.318-05:00I never really used to think about homeschooling u...I never really used to think about homeschooling until I moved to Texas. There are atleast 4 families in our ward who homeschool, maybe even more. I see pros and cons from both sides, but have decided that I will never homeschool. I didn't send my 4-year-old to preschool this last year, mainly because of the cost, but it has been really fun. I would even consider homeschooling Kindergarten, but would go no further. I have enjoyed doing preschool from home mainly because it is what we would do anyway! Make a craft, sing a song, go to the library, play with friends, bake cookies, etc. It is the hands on experiences that little ones need to have. Anyway, I am excited to hear your view on homeschooling. I would really appreciate to understand it from an educators point of view. All I know for sure is that it's not for me :).Jodi Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02642289364060488499noreply@blogger.com
