Hello and welcome! If you are reading this blog, then you are probably considering homeschooling or already are homeschooling.
I’ve been homeschooling my daughter for about five years now. And the reason I homeschool is probably completely different than the reason that you are considering homeschool.
The reality is, we are accidental homeschoolers. I never intended to homeschool, and yet, in the middle of my daughters 1st grade year, public school was no longer a viable option. I homeschool because my daughter needs an education that is tailored to her. She is ADHD and gifted, which might seem like a blessing, but both issues cause problems.
She did not get along in a public school classroom. She needed the instruction to move faster, and she needed to learn it while jumping up and down, or hanging upside down off of her chair.
As odd as that seems, she just can’t sit still in a desk, and study spelling words for four days before taking a spelling test. She doesn’t learn that way, and since learning is the whole point of education it was an exercise in insanity to have her to do the same thing every day, and expect different results.
Come back often, and I hope something I write will make your homeschooling life easier, or mention an idea you would like to try. Happy homeschooling!
