Just curious what your personal reasons are...I was an elementary music teacher in a public school for 8 years and now SAHM. I always planned to go back to teaching when my kids were in school, but now that I have actually have a child, I'm considering other alternatives (not because I have anything against public education, just thinking about this with a new perspective). So anyway, what were your reasons?
My initial reasons were that preschool for two was expensive, and many of my friends were homeschooling. Now with a kindergartener and a great school system, I'm still homeschooling because I enjoy seeing her enjoy learning. I enjoy the flexib
We won't be HSing because DH is opposed (see post above), but I would love to. I'd love to be the one to impact them most of the day (not their peers or teachers that may "care" about them, but couldn't hold a candle to the amount I care for them.&n

We prefer homeschool because it allows us to tailor our kid's education to fit their learning needs and interests. Plus we are able to give them a way better education than any public school ever possibly could. And the one on one time is good too.
