Why Do You Homeschool?

I enjoy reading Principled Discovery because it helps me keep up with what is happening in the homeschooling world…That may sound odd, but I really am pulled in so many directions these days that I tend to take life one chore at a time, and use what is left over for sleep.  I suspect there are alot of us like that.

Well, I don’t keep up with alot of other homeschooling blogs so I don’t always know what the current news, or prevailing home education winds are…. and Dana keeps me informed.

As you have seen I have been away a few days due to family things…and I went back to catch up and read her post about Death to (Christian) Homeschooling.

I will not rewrite her words..she has done a lovely job of expressing herself..I will add though, that unless the Lord builds the house its builders build in vain.  You are  hopefully not homeschooling because your friends are, or because you were, or because it looks like fun…I hope you are not homeschooling just because the public school system stinks, or our society is becoming very Roman in their antics…In fact, I hope you are not homeschooling because the education is better.

I hope that you are homeschooling because God has called you to it, and you know that you know..that you know…that you are doing what God has called you to do, in the way he has called you to do it.  If He has said to homeschool your children then everything else is just add-ons.  It doesn’t have to make sense, it doesn’t have to be accepted by your friends.  Obedience is better than sacrifice.

Thanks Dana, for reminding me….

And if you need to be reminded that you are doing a good job..and you don’t have to be perfect, check out Homeschooling with Grace..I love this post..

So..why do YOU homeschool?
