I know what you mean about feeling like the children aren't learning anything at school. I sometimes wonder what it is that the schools do all day!<br /><br />I have a very active 18 month old, so it's fair to say that I never get all the housework done either!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03050098322558700410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044342873919250442.post-13073587238155425662011-02-17T21:16:06.918+00:002011-02-17T21:16:06.918+00:00Hello Paula

If we continue, we'll probably take a more classical lean, as our children get older.<br />I could relate to your comment about the house being tidier with children in school! We started off we our eldest in Christian school, but withdrew her because of teasing, and the fact that we didn't think she was really learning anything.Homeschooling isn't always easy, and I never get ALL the housework done during termtime, but it's very rewarding, worthwhile, and saves a lot of money, even when compared with free public schooling.<br />ClaireFather's Grace Ministrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04681216281555397172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044342873919250442.post-89917494696113733742010-09-25T23:14:32.297+00:002010-09-25T23:14:32.297+00:00Hi Paula ...

If you doubt the education system that much and feel your have the skills to educate your child then go for it. I do not feel that we, as teachers, can give every child the time and individual attention that they deserve. I have followed your blog for quite a while and think you would make a pretty good job of home education... the only thing they would lack is socialisation with a wide variety of children from different backgrounds (but that may not be a bad thing). I will be interested hear from you and what you decide.
