I want to share some of the pros and cons of homeschooling as I see them now so that you can help make an informed decision on what is best for your family.
For me, the pros of homeschooling far outweigh the cons. Otherwise, I would have put them back in a public or charter school long ago! Here are some of the things our family loves about homeschooling.
There are a lot of adult issues, including abuse, that become glaringly obvious in a public school setting, even for children as young as kindergarten.
If they were in public school, this age gap would mean they wouldn’t get to spend much time together. Because they are home together all day, they have become each other’s best friends.
You and your child have to work together not just about chores or sibling relationships but also for their education. Just like you don’t get a break from them, they don’t get a break from you.
