25 Reasons We Homeschool

For 6 days only–if you haven’t seen this, you MUST:

 

  1. Christian parent are commanded to disciple their children.
  2. We don’t have to deal with the disadvantages of peer dependency.
  3. We get to pursue the many methods of education and suit them to each child’s learning style and interests.
  4. Because we believe education is a transfer of a way of life.
  5. Life is simpler and slower-paced.
  6. We don’t have to buy all our kids a car, designer clothes and the latest technical gadgets.
  7. They are more likely to be better socialized.
  8. We can “think outside the classroom“.

  10. A lifestyle of learning affords freedom and flexibility.

  12. We value relationships over any earthly thing.
  13. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter children.
  14. Life is much more like the “real world” than a classroom.
  15. Because learning happens all the time–I want to be there.

    You might want to correct #22 from “am” to “are”. :)

    I home school our kids as well, and find it is has many benefits. My oldest right now is working on an essay about three things he loves most about home school for an essay contest.

    I had to reread Proverbs 3 to figure out the “secret” you were referring to since I don’t have the Bible memorized by heart. I have to agree that there is definitely a lot of good information in that Proverb.

    I most definitely agree with you that our kids learn far more than they would in a public school. ;)
