Home school?

[votivesoul]

We homeschool.

Homeschooling isn't just teach your kids at home from a textbook instead of in a traditional classroom. It's also about safety, protection, spirituality, and relational bonding between children and parents, WHILE educational learning takes place.

My children are best friends with each other, and are learning very valuable Christian lessons on, for example, patience and forgiveness because by being home with each other, being schooled together, they tend to get in each other's way, and we call them on it and address it immediately, so they can resolve whatever the argument or fight is about, according to the commandments of the Lord.

If we were sending them to standard school, they would be in separate grades and would barely see each other, not something we want for our family.

While it is important for children to have friends and be social (to a degree), the relationship that exist at home are more important. The things we are building here with our kids can't be recreated anywhere else, and we wouldn't, and won't trade that for anything.
