We homeschool our three children 17, 14 and 12. Mothers all the time ask us “how do you do that?” or “That must be so hard”. I always say to them, if their children are doing well in school, that is public or private, it is because they are homeschooling. Who after all is making sure that they are getting their homework done right and on time? Without parental involvement kids will almost always fail. This is why innercity schools struggle to produce high quality kids. It’s not that they need more money or better teachers. They have some of the best. It’s just extremely difficult to teach kids when mom and dad are careless or clueless to their own child’s needs. Any way, way to go! and also, you will find out homeschooling is a great way to continue your own education as an adult.
