My mom wanted to homeschool us because of public schools and others are getting so bad. They don't teach anything about the Bible and the kids are so out of hand. And then they teach kids stuff that the parents might not want their kids to learn at that age. So she wants us to be safe and not hear and be taught the stuff they teach even though you will know when your OLDER... not in like the 5th and 6th grade

I chose to homeschool my oldest because of the lack of care and compassion some teachers exhibit. Moreover, the local school was doing nothing to really help him, so I felt the need to step in and take over his education.

Too many kids slip through the cracks these days, and if a child has a health problem, learning problem, home problems....many teachers don't know what to do with them. I was sick alot and nobody knew what to do with me....so they made alot of bad mistakes!

All 3 of my kids are learning in unique ways, and at their own pace. When you see how differently they all learn....you realize why so many kids just don't flourish in public schools. Everyone is expected to learn at the same pace and in the same manor! But the kids are all unique! They aren't mass produced clones! Homeschooling is the greatest and I'm thankful that we can do it!
