the only thing i got home schooled in was making illegal booze, and running numbers for my uncle..

LOL Min

I think the people should be able to decide what type of education they want their children to have. Homeschooling was definaltely not for me I had to work 3 jobs to support my kids while they were young  even if I would have had the opportunity to hs I would not have been confident in my ablitities to do so.

CC- Homeschooling isn't for everyone. Some families that I knew should not have been HS because they weren't doing justice with their kids education nor let them out very often.

 

I love hearing everyones opinion on it. Also just because I homeschooled doesn't mean its right but it was right for me back then. Make since? LOL!

i do not feel that it would be in the best interest of the families who choose to homeschool, to change the laws, to step back in time ...

 

to those who are conscientious about homeschooling, i am all for it ...

 

i never have homeschooled ... for awhile, i did seriously look into homeschooling my children, but they didn't want to be homeschooled ... they knew how i felt about their education, how important i feel it is, and how i would not take the task lightly ... they used to joke that i would probably be a harder teacher than any of the teachers at the school they attended ...  ... so, the next best thing was for me to get a job at their school ... i could get to know their teachers, what they were learning, from a distance, see who the hung with ... it might sound kinda overprotective, but it really turned out to be fun for all of us to be together during those years ... they, and their friends, would come visit me often in the office where i worked ... when my son got into a goofy stage (kinda rebellious you could say), his teachers used to kid him that they knew where his mom was!! ... hehehe ...
