However, I like knowing that you are in control of the agenda and they will not be subjected to some students that can make the experience a living hell. People often debate that it is good for a child to have 'other views'. It is my experience that many graduating with degrees are not educated, they've just mastered test taking. <br />I know you will do a wonderful job teaching. You already imparted a strong love of learning. <br /><br />Your Friend,<br />DeborahFairfield Househttp://fairfieldhousenj.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700566518354161220.post-82727335656236623942011-04-05T18:36:08.636-07:002011-04-05T18:36:08.636-07:00I really think it will be the answer.

Public school systems now have become such a sad place and the scary thing is so many people are okay with it being that way. My mother has been teaching for over 15 years and to this day she still swears by homeschooling. <br /><br />I am so excited to read about your adventures with teaching your wonderful children. I know you will do a fabulous job!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09820981396988839535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5700566518354161220.post-42857060067538782242011-04-04T10:12:44.982-07:002011-04-04T10:12:44.982-07:00I was home schooled from 6th grade onward (and 2nd...I was home schooled from 6th grade onward (and 2nd-3rd). I spent my senior year doing jump-start at the local college. Home schooling really is ideal, especially for even remotely gifted kids. I think you're all going to love it. <br /><br />Going back to public school after two years of home schooling was like being submerged in some kind of sticky gooey slow-moving mud, so we went back to the home schooling, and I couldn't be happier as an adult that we did. It really fosters a lifelong love of learning.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05439596686404878123noreply@blogger.com
