Why I Should Not Homeschool...

You should home school or you should not home school, that is the question that every thinks is their business. And honestly it is usually "You can't home school because..."

1. Your kids will be weird! (Honestly, I would rather my children be able to relate to people of all ages and be polite and respectful. They are reading instead of watching TV or playing video games. If this makes them weird, then let the weirdness begin!)

2. You can't home school because you have four children ages 6 and younger. (My son helps at home with the dishes, laundry, changes diapers, feeds the 2 month old and helps buckles his sisters into the car. I honestly don't know what I would do without his help. He is also learning responsibility besides how a family works.)

3. You need to be a professional expert in order to teach children. (I really believe that children can be inspired to learn on their own. I can become an expert in anything that I am interested in. So over time, I can mentor my child in anything they are interested in. If I am not the best mentor, I will then find my child one.)

There are a 1,000 other reason why I cannot or should not home educate my children that are told to me everyday. But I can, and I will do it. Why? Because I believe that it is the best education that my children can receive! That my husband and I are the most emotionally invested in our children's well being and therefore, you can not pay any "expert" enough to teach them any better than the people who love them and know them the best. We are the most qualified!
