Are there days when I think they would be better in school? Absolutely. But it's that next day, when we are all snuggled on the coach sharing our hearts and dialoging about issues that I didn't touch until college, when I have confirmation that we made the right choice for our family.

For most of human existence it was not done this way. The reasons we chose to homeschool are myriad, but one main point is this: Children will be indoctrinated during their education in some form or another; who do we as parents want influencing the minds of our kids? Of course I say that that is "one main" reason we have chosen home-education, but all the others (which would take too long to list) are equal in weight. I do acknowledge that public education is fine for some, and God bless them.
