Glad you can articulate/summarize the driving force behind your passion for homeschooling. That, in itself, is empowering. I support you wholeheartedly. And without any awkwardness, even as I never intend to homeschool ours. You GO girl! Good for you! Glad you can articulate/summarize the driving force behind your passion for homeschooling.

I wrote a blog post last March revealing that we were going to homeschool. I addressed a little bit why we were decided to homeschool, but most of the post was about a court decision that effectively prohibited homeschooling in California (that has since been rescinded). I had planned to write more posts, but didn't. It was overwhelming, and I can be lazy. Why we chose preschool is a topic that probably deserves its own blog post, so I'll work on that for you, and hopefully answer all your questions! Good questions, Tiff!

Will you share why you decided on private preschool? Why not do preschool at home? Where did you learn about homeschool? Books you recommend, or sites? Sorry for all the questions, but I just want to learn from where you've been. ;) I am still undecided about homeschooling, but right now I’m leaning toward public.

I have never regretted it. And that was about 25 years ago before they had the whole homeschool across america mindset. I did it alone and not in a group - I did it and ErinLeigh and Grant both benefited from it. They learned right along side of Bryce. It was a great time. I taught him math in the kitchen, and taught him how to wash clothes and we did all sorts of science and history... we lived in Ohio and then Connecticut at that time. I did always tell others that if they could do it any other way than do it that way - but for me, for my child, and for my standing before God knowing I had done what I believed right - well, homeschool for that time was the way. So - I'm so glad you have figured out why - now you will go with GUSTO!!!!! Hugs. I homeschooled Bryce first and second grades - why? because of the unbelievable way he was handled in kindergarten.
