And yet I had four older children who did go. <br /><br />He was so interested in the world around him and asked questions non-stop, day and night as most children that age do...BUT he truly wanted to know the answers and he absorbed it all. <br /><br />It led to even more questions and further connections for him. From the night sky to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to ancient civilizations to mathematical puzzles to the natural world around him, he was fascinated and interested and wanted MORE and MORE. <br /><br />I decided I wanted MORE for him too and knew that if he went to school his enthusiasm for learning would be squelched and he would *have to* follow their narrow agenda of topics to learn about...not to mention being in a building all the day long.<br /><br />It was after reading a parenting article about homeschooling that I realized it was even an option and I felt confident with my decision. <br /><br />We have never looked back. Both kids are entering their teen years and life without school is, and always has been, GLORIOUS!<br /><br />www.childinharmony.com<br />http://livefreeinharmony.xanga.commarciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123606108378816441noreply@blogger.com
