I homeschool because I want to spend more time with my children and I’m confident my kids are better off with their family than in school. I think my 8 year old’s top reason would be freedom. My 6 and 3 year olds haven’t given it much thought yet.

I just found you from another blog.
We homeschool because I’m rebellious. I didn’t like the fact that most families in our small town sent their kids to school at 3 years old. I just couldn’t do it and started teaching my oldest at home. I haven’t stopped.

We homeschool for the safety and mental well being of our children.. So what if my mental well being is questionable..

We homeschool to be free of bullies, to be safe and to be free from the box that public education often puts children in. I also don’t want to miss one thing in my children’s lives.

Glad you found my blog! It is always nice to meet another mom who homeschools for academic reasons!

Great post. I just hopped over here after I found you on Twitter.

We homeschool to maintain the flexible lifestyle that being self employed has provided, and for academic reasons.

I’m mothering a Black boy in DC. DCPS is NOT getting their hands on my child!

I WILL DO BETTER

I always knew I would homeschool my child. Learning should be in a loving and stress free environment…at home:)

I homeschool because I have two kids within the autistic spectrum, and the public schools here are not equipped to teach them. At all. The public schools here are barely qualified to keep them all day, much less teach them.

The long answer involves learning styles, anxiety levels, the rudeness of suburban children, and my last kleenex of the kids’ 2nd grade year. I’ll let you guess the rest.

I love knowing that my daughter is safe & academically challenged. Using K-12 assures me that we’re getting the best of both worlds!!!
