What I have observed in the last 9 years regarding the education of my children has brought me full circle. To say that I have experience in many educational settings is an accurate statement. I have attended public school, university, community college, vocational school and have learned through correspondence. My children have similarly experienced many styles of school.
Homelearning is a wise educational alternative. Homelearning creates a love of lifelong learning. This year the kids attended a private Christian school. This is an excellent school with many wonderful people and great opportunities. However, what I have noticed is one very important thing. It is still school. When that bell rings learning is done. They have retained some of their joy for reading and learning, but nothing compared to homelearning.
There are many, many reasons why homelearning is a wise choice but nothing compares to a lifelong love for learning. A parent does not need a teaching certificate or a super high level of education. A parent only needs to be resourceful and creative.

How Exciting!!
We are taking the plunge again. Both kids are finishing up grade 7 in a Christian Private School and we will be back to homelearning grade 8. We have come full circle. I have come to learn that homelearning is the best form of education. A resourceful parent is worth all the best schools in the world. By full circle I mean...we are back...after public school, private umbrella school and private christian school. I would love to read your comments on this subject. Do you have any questions?
