I really like this quote:
"...Excellent post. I really like this quote:<br /><br />"being children, there are “those days.” We all have them. When you were in school or in the workforce, didn’t you have “those days”?"<br /><br />Yes, we have those days!!! And yes, I had them when I went to public school and when I worked! :o)Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657494502096028283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-43575397620216803182010-01-07T01:30:49.213-05:002010-01-07T01:30:49.213-05:00Wonderful post.

I usually only spent $300/yr. to educate four children. So many books can be re-used. The early grades are so simple...a good nature book(for nature studies/science), a math book, a writing book(like the italic series), the library for reading(english), and of course the Bible. The upper grades get more expensive, but by then you really know more of what your doing and can choose wisely. It really is crazy how much money our nation spends per child for education. <br /><br />My last three children now know the differences between Home-education and public school gov. education. They all agree that they receive a better education at home. Child #1 graduated homeschool early and has never had any other form of education. He has been a carpenter for 2 yrs now. Child #2 graduated homeschool 2 yrs. early and now attends our local junior college. She loves it and has learned that her homeschooled education was an awesome foundation and has advanced her. She is a top student in all her classes. Child #3 wanted to experience public school mostly for social reasons. She has a 4.0gpa and enjoys the challenges and diversity of the classroom setting. Child #4 misses homeschooling but has a dream to be a football player. And so he is at the public school to play football...and he loved his first season of football. It is so important to know our children and to continually give them over to God. To listen carefully and to always keep a tender mothering heart. One thing I've learned in 19yrs. of mothering and 15yrs. of homeschooling is that the home needs to be a refuge...a place of rest, acceptance, love, compassion, understanding, and grace. <br /><br /><br />PS I left you a response in my comments to your comment...which cracked me up!Seawashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00299816851144887705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-85747370077272872182010-01-05T10:50:55.546-05:002010-01-05T10:50:55.546-05:00Kim, can you come to my house?

Bible study, Lang. arts and math are no brainers. Science and History is where I stumble around with the most!<br />I've learned from the beginning not to compare our homeschool with others'. I do admit though that I flip-flop around with the different methods. AGHHH!<br />Anywho....wonderful, wonderful post!!Kelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074115439003700205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969468832602521879.post-8237394440599556472010-01-05T10:35:39.269-05:002010-01-05T10:35:39.269-05:00Thanks for this post.
