Thanks for posting this question! I have read a ton of stuff on the net about home schooling and Government oops Public schools. I really think we will do the home schooling. My wife has some reservations and of course Grandma is worried about the social issues. I can talk with my wife but Mom well.. shes Mom LOL. I would have to urg anyone thinking of home schooling to read John Taylor Gatto's book, History of American Education. It was a real eye opener. I had no idea where our modern idea of school came from or its real purpose. The more I read of other studies of learning I was really pushed over the edge. I have bin thinking of home schooling since the children where born but it really came to the service again when I saw a storie on TV the other night showing the negative social enviroment of modern school. I dont want my kids in that. Well I could go on and on. Thank you again Shalinara for getting me started on the web search. I am off and running with it. Once I get the wife convinced I will talk it over with the kids.
I would like to hear from all of you that do home school how your kids first reacted to the idea of giving up public school? my youngest starts next year and wants to do everything brother got to do this year in school. So I will have to explain why we are going to home school in a way that little ones will grab onto. I dont want them to feel I am takeing something away from them. They can't understand the reasons I have to give them. Any ideas?


AND SO IT GOES...
