Free Homeschooling Book - Free Today!

Our newest book is free today in honor of our youngest son's 22nd birthday. David, Jr., was homeschooled until college and is now in the US Marine Corps and doing quite well there.

Many people question whether or not they should homeschool their children. A book entitled 27 Reasons Why Homeschooling Will Damage Your Child’s Life Forever has attempted help parents answer that question.

In our book Is Homeschooling, or is it Home Schooling, Right for You?, we address those reasons and provide counterpoints to some of the arguments listed.

To homeschool or not is a question that should be answered after much prayer and research. David and I seek to aid in that decision.

David's New Book is Out!

Several years ago, David read a book about how homeschooling was bad for children. After posting a review on Amazon.com about that book, various people suggested that someone should write a rebuttal to it. David took on the task and his rebuttal book is now live on Amazon.com.

Monday Morning Musings

We have been a homeschooling family since 1997. Our oldest two children spent some time in the public school system. Our two youngest children were homeschooled from the start. I read an interesting article earlier today called Homeschool Myths Revealed. Here is the comment that I posted there:

The socialization question has always been a funny one to me. Generally, my children had just performed at a church and would be out conversing with various people (adults and children alike) in the congregation. Someone would bring up the question of schooling and socialization. My husband would challenge the person to find any one of our children that had not been out and about talking to the people. Some of my children are bold enough to initiate conversations without any prompting and one of them is like me, shy and reserved for the most part, but even he didn't shy away from talking to people of any age group that talked to him.

At one church, one of the state senators in South Carolina sought two of the children out to speak with them and was very impressed. The heart of the former mayor of Anderson, South Carolina was won over by our youngest child when she walked up to my husband at the podium during a presentation and carried on a conversation, then apologized to the people for interrupting and returned to her seat.

All of my children were home-school graduates, one in South Carolina and the rest here in Texas. The one that graduated in SC had no problems getting into the US Navy. We provided his transcript and he breezed right in. The other three had no problems getting accepted into the local college and a major university. All three have been on the Dean's List. The youngest graduated a year early, was the youngest student at the college when she entered, and is in the honor society called Phi Theta Kappa.

I think that, although many people think homeschooling limits their opportunities, the exact opposite is the case. It opens the world to them. They have developed the skills necessary to pursue what is important to them because we allowed them to study things that were of interest to them, not forcing them to study the same things in the same way as every other person in town.

Homeschooling helped them to better develop themselves as individuals.

I would love to hear about your thoughts and/or experiences concerning the way that you chose for your children to be educated, whether it is/was homeschooling, public schooling, or private schooling.
