Why We Homeschool
Homeschooling is not the norm. Why have we chosen the path less traveled, especially when the government will educate our children for “free”?
- Public schools – Why they aren’t an option for us as followers of Christ.
- Before the beginning: Our homeschool journey – God used cancer to cause my parents to homeschool when I was 11.
- Goals
- Homeschooling vs. the classroom
- Socialization
- Academics
- Homeschooling and single moms
- Why teach Greek?
- Family relationships
