Homeschooling —

Homeschooling was first brought to my attention by my daughter's nurse. Since early childhood my daughter has had health issues that made attending public school a true hassle. When her nurse questioned had we ever considered homeschooling I immediately went to the library and checked out many books on homeschooling. I also searched the internet for anything associated with homeschooling. I thought it seemed like something interesting and maybe just what we needed to give my daughter the eduation she needed. I found a homeschooling group in my area and called them. I paid the membership fees and immediately began homeschooling. That was 6 years ago and I'm still homeschooling. I have a newborn that we're also discussing homeschooling when the time comes. There are many benefits to homeschooling, some of which are safety from as much crime, being able to vacation and still do school while away, no set times and really early mornings, being closer to family, and the list just goes on and on. I wouldn't recommend homeschooling to all families because many families have much too busy lifestyles or it's just not for them but the families out there that are dedicated to making it work should greatly consider homeschooling. It has wonderful benefits!
