I follow a Facebook page called Simple Homeschool. One of the things that I love most their page is their reoccurring Facebook statuses answering the question, "How has #homeschooling changed your family's life for the better?" Their followers submit their answers as well as Simple Homeschool features 1 of the answers. I love reading all the reasons why people love homeschooling. I love reading most how people's lives possess got changed for the meliorate because they homeschool as well as feeling encouraged yesteryear their answers, peculiarly the answers I relate too.
We lately took a long trip-- a piffling over three weeks away from the house. We spent a calendar week at the beach alongside my parents as well as thence drove from the beach to my parents' house. While at my parents' house, I drove from in that location to a friend's trouble solid as well as and thence dorsum to my parents' house. Then I lastly made the trek from my parents' trouble solid dorsum to our house. We did a lot of outings field visiting all these dissimilar places, saw a lot of cool things, as well as saw a lot of familiar (and dearly missed) friends as well as family. It was thence refreshing to mix things up, possess got a alter of scenery, as well as pass lineament fourth dimension alongside people nosotros love.
While away, I oft was grateful nosotros are homeschooling. There were many moments where I said, "I am thence glad nosotros homeschool!" to my friends as well as family. I loved that trip. I loved that nosotros could pass almost a calendar month traveling inwards the middle of the schoolhouse yr as well as that schoolhouse traveled alongside us. When I left my parents' trouble solid to acquire take in my friends, I did schoolhouse over the weekend thence nosotros could possess got the kickoff pair days of the calendar week off. Homeschooling is thence flexible. Being a armed forces trouble solid unit of measurement (a submariner's wife, nonetheless), flexibility is key. My confidence inwards our determination to homeschool was most definitely boosted on this trip. I felt that nosotros would possess got the liberty to move when my hubby gets dorsum on a submarine inwards the adjacent pair months as well as that nosotros would also live able to accommodate our school schedule to my husband's schedule, guaranteeing nosotros acquire that trouble solid unit of measurement fourth dimension nosotros need.
After the long trip away, I drove abode alongside the boys on a Sunday. Mon forenoon I woke upwardly feeling horrible. I completely lost my vocalism due to a pitiable cold. I realized pretty quick that I wouldn't live able to produce schoolhouse without a voice. I decided to possess got the days off that I was sick. It wasn't until today that my vocalism came dorsum along alongside (most of) my energy. Because I was taking it pretty slowly this calendar week as well as putting a lot of things off, nosotros were totally off schedule all day. By early on afternoon, it was apparent that schoolhouse was non going to go on today-- thence I didn't brand it. I decided that nosotros would destination out the calendar week inwards our "unschooling" mode as well as resume structured homeschool on Mon when we've had fourth dimension to acquire dorsum on schedule later the trip as well as my cold. How awesome is that? No tears, no fuss, simply doing what plant best for us. If you lot possess got e'er forced to a greater extent than than 1 tyke out the door inwards the forenoon to acquire somewhere on fourth dimension when you lot don't experience well, you lot volition know how amazing it is to avoid all that.
With each passing twenty-four lx minutes menstruation of homeschooling, I taste it to a greater extent than as well as more. I taste the fourth dimension nosotros pass learning together. I await forrad to doing kindergarten alongside my oldest as well as that fourth dimension of twenty-four lx minutes menstruation nosotros possess got together. I taste how excited our preschoolers are to produce "school" (they produce non possess got whatever structured schoolhouse yet, but they love pulling out notebooks as well as pretending to produce what our oldest is doing). It has been a approbation for our family. I became fifty-fifty to a greater extent than aware of what a approbation it is later this trip.
Why produce you lot love homeschooling?
