so with all the school shootings, and bus hijacks, and teachers with guns how many of you are now considering homeschooling over actual school?..

Placing your children in bubbles is always the solution. Just don't forget to feed and water them.

We homeschool, but we consider it actual school  

We have many reasons though, not really the ones you listed. I don't plan on sheltering my kids from life.

I was planning on buying those hamster water bottles. Give them a few meals a day. Sounds like a plan to me. LOL

That's like keeping kids out of cars because of all the car accidents that occur. Bad things happen, we can't choose where, how and when.

I wasn't offended, I thought it was kind of funny - I knew what you meant.

For many reasons, I know I'll leave some out.

I'm not satisfied with the quality of education that I've seen come out of the public schools in our area, and we cannot afford the private schools. I value academics very much, and I am thankful to have the opportunity to select what I feel is the best curricula for my kids. Our faith is also important to us, and I do plan on factoring some of that into our day -- but not entirely, I don't want to raise children who are ignorant to the world around them. I also value the homeschool co-ops, and additional opportunities we'll have. Tomorrow we're going to an elementary school with our co-op that is for the visually impaired. The kids will learn about braille, and what it is like to not have their vision...we'll also be taking donated items/etc to them.

I was totally unsure of myself until I sat down and wrote our homeschool goals. Once I got my priorities in line, I started to really look for co-ops & got involved in the homeschooling community. I started to research different curriculum and just tried to find people/things that lined up with what I wanted for our school (which we've named Living Grace Academy  )

In a perfect world we'd homeschool them, but life doesn't always work like that. We'll re-evaluate every year to make sure we're still putting them and their education first. I'd like to, and I've looked at various curriculum and it seems very challenging & I feel it would fully prepare them for college/etc. So, we'll see what is best for them at that point.

  thank you for talkin with me about this. i was considering the early years prek-3rd grade home school then the summer between 3rd and 4th grade teaching her how to use the computer and siging her up for an online home schooling school. its online and has a teacher right there.. i would of course sit with her while she did it and helped her with working the computer and communicating wiht her teacher/class mates. have you looked into things like that and if so do you have any opinions for or against it?.

I'm neutral on it. It isn't the direction I'd have any desire to go, but I've heard of others who love it. Homeschoolreviews.com has really great reviews of different programs, I recommend it!
