Yes Christianity is the path I have chosen but it doesn't have to be their path. If it is- wonderful- if not - wonderful. I love them all the same.
I also teach them not to judge anyone for any reason. Their baby sister is biracial. Racism is not allowed in my home and neither is homophobia or any form of prejuidice. I am a sinner just as much as anyone but I have asked Jesus to forgive me. | Great comments jenilouise! |

One thing we have in common is we all love them.

 | Re: Homeschool | | Benefits of home schooling are found in multitudes if you have the right teacher! Your child lose the socialization time and skills by homeschooling, but gain a greater education. you have the ability to expand on education, have more direct instruction time. Homeschool kids are often protected and sheltered and when they leave home for the first time, they sometimes experience problems dealing with other kids. I homeschool my kid for the first three years then send him out to school to learn how to socialize.

Children: Savannah and Hunter | Re: Homeschool | | Out of curiosity, I was wondering if some of you lived in one of the great school systems would you still choose to homeschool?
I'd love for my children to attend school in Radnor Township, but the housing in that school district is  . I would just feel like a hypocrite not sending my kids to public school because I went to public schools, and I'm *intending* to teach at the public school level. |

I discovered I love it though.

 Children: Two sets of twin boys, aged 5 and 9. | Re: Homeschool | | Well, since curriculum is one of my big issues w/ the public schools no, I probably wouldn't send them.  I'm stubborn that way.
My first year teaching was in a city school where many of the teachers there sent their own children to private schools or made sure their children were in the gifted program. Not a real big vote of confidence for the district. |
