My daughter is only 7 months old right now but my husband and I are already trying to decide which type of schooling is going to be best for our family. We are leaning towards homeschooling, even though neither of us have any experience with it! I'm a little nervous because it seems like quite an undertaking (we are planning on having lots more kids!) but ultimately I think it is going to be best so we can raise our children up in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord."Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05015697963619328064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757977229023040876.post-27921642129629589772010-01-07T06:58:24.094-05:002010-01-07T06:58:24.094-05:00Amen to that!

There are days when I think to myself, "Man, this would be so much easier if I put her in public/private school", but then I remind myself of the bond we have made, and the fact that she is so stinkin' book smart and "life" smart, and it makes it all worth it. Plus the sleeping in isn't too shabby either! ; )Amanda K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09024030075638226851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757977229023040876.post-73732996839563661372010-01-06T21:50:38.372-05:002010-01-06T21:50:38.372-05:00Thanks for commenting on my blog!

I had my kids in a small charter school for kindergarten, we let them finish and have homeschooled ever since(they are 2nd grade now) our family is so much closer and the flow is so nice. We are going to try for another baby come May and I don't know if I would have done that had the situation been different...<br />Blessings,<br />TanyaTanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03020729440753617457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757977229023040876.post-39882210346249931182010-01-06T19:19:10.328-05:002010-01-06T19:19:10.328-05:00I applaud you in your decision to homeschool.

Because I do get to teach them how to read, write etc.) but for our family it only works because I am part time. My children grew up in "our" school and have a different appreciation being a "teacher's" kid then I think most do. <br />It is something that takes patience, love and faith!<br />Way to go Gap Girl!Jaymeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301886789580314861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757977229023040876.post-28801886732946268672010-01-06T19:05:52.502-05:002010-01-06T19:05:52.502-05:00You just wrote my story, leading up to my decision...You just wrote my story, leading up to my decision to homeschool this year. My husband is a childrne's pastor, and last year, Jan. & Feb. he spent doing Upward basketball. Friday was the only day he was home, and my kids were at school. We were a mess! And between homework, housework, church, cub scouts, bb, and all those meaningless activities, our house was divided, miserable, and dark. This year, we are stuck indoors, and I watched as my 6 year old cuddled the baby today while she had a fever. That never would have happened last year, becuase she didn't know her older siblings. I love it too. There is no other way for our family, and our world would be a better place. I know, we are on the front lines dealing with cookie cutter, public schooled kids. My heart breaks for them.Amy Mykytiukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680202877451610913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757977229023040876.post-8130905144237306722010-01-06T19:00:33.400-05:002010-01-06T19:00:33.400-05:00I loved this post!

When I say small... I mean 11 people in my class and we still hold the record for the "biggest class!" It was almost just like a homeschool. So... GOOO Homeschools! <br /><br />I am so proud to hear about you homeschooling. No, We have never met, but IT makes me happy to hear that there are STILL Christians standing up for what the believe in! :) God is so faithful! <br /><br />Keep doing your thing, girl!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006450397935500997noreply@blogger.com
