RE: Raising Leaders Instead of Rulers

I also feel that I would like to homeschool my children someday if the opportunity arises.

Homeschooling provides children with the ability to learn the way that best suits them. (I cannot stand to learn just through lectures and am a very hands on learner). You can tailor your teaching to accommodate your child's learning style because you can be one on one with them.

Taking time as a family to explore nature and go on vacations together while still teaching a curriculum, affords a whole new realm of freedom to teach your children. I would much rather learn about the environment by being immersed in nature than with pictures in a textbook.

There are some homeschooled children that are not socialized and are kept in a bubble by overprotective parents, but that is not the norm. I have quite a few friends who are homeschooled, and they tend to do better later on in their schooling because they already know how they learn best.

As much as I love the teachers that made an impact in my life, I personally feel that as a parent I would rather instill my own values and time into my child. For all the good teachers out there, there are plenty that could make a negative impact on the future of my child's life.

Hope your children continue to follow their dreams as you can offer them opportunities that just aren't available to those in public schools.

Thanks we mean to provide all the knowledge to bolster my two boys dreams, whatever they may be the sky is the limit!

That's what good parents should do :) Even though I attended public school, my parents have encouraged me to follow my dreams too. I hope they will look back one day and realize how blessed they are.
