Top 10 Reasons We Homeschool

Top Ten Tuesday at Many Little Blessings

Last week I shared Top 10 Places To Take Nature Walks In North GA. This week I am sharing the Top 10 Reasons We Homeschool (in no particular order).

1) We want our children to be able to learn about all religions including the Christian faith.
2) We want our children to be safe. Guns, knives, bullying, school bus issues, sexual abuse yup not something we want to expose our children too.
3) We want to be involved in our children's education and not have someone else raising our children.
4) We want our children to be able to learn at their own pace and not by what State or National Standards dictate.
5) We don't want the children only learning information to pass tests. In GA the school system is very concerned with keeping their funding which means standardized test scores must be high each year. So they cram and prep students for tests even when they don't require a standardized test that year.
6) We want our children to have a love for learning and be able to follow their interests and dreams.
7) We want our children to develop life skills essential to their growth and development.
8) We want our children to be able to have hands on learning experiences and not be sitting at a desk all day.
9) We want our children to be more socialized. Yup I said it. That stereotype that homeschoolers are not socialized is BOGUS. My kids get more socialization than they ever would in the public school environment. Just think back to those schooling days...how often and for how long did you really get to talk and play with friends?
10) We don't like all the political propaganda that goes on at public school.

Thanks for stopping by!
