Why are we choosing to homeschool? I have gotten this question quite a few times from all kinds of people. We are not trying to keep our kids away from certain situations or for religious reasons, we are simply homeschooling because we think that it's best for our children.
Now for a little background. I grew up in public schools where I did well. Kellen grew up in public schools were he did great! I went to college were I received my degree in Education. I became a 5th grade science teacher for a year before I got pregnant with the twins. We made the decision that paying $1000 dollars for daycare was not for us. The school I worked for was a wonderful school and in one of the best districts in MS. Overall is was a wonderful experience. Then I stayed at home with my kids. Never in a million years did I think I would be a stay at home mom. Never. Staying home was the best decision we ever made. When the time came to start thinking about schooling for our twins the more I researched homeschooling. Homeschooling gets such a bad rap. Why??? The people who do it, love it and the people that don't do it, think it's crazy. I understand the whole....your kid needs to be around other kids for socialization. Blah blah blah....Needless to say, I am excited and scared about what next year holds. So here we go....
