JnK (Or Anyone Else Into Homeschooling)

in August 2011 Moms

I am also toying with the idea of homeschooling. I feel really inept, but a homeschooling mom encouraged me with, "Nobody knows how to educate a child better than his mother." I am going to a conference next month, I think. 

Do you know what curriculum you're going to be doing? I hope to join a co-op so somebody can help me with the subjects I feel weaker in. It is surprisingly common here so I don't think I will have a hard time finding anybody to join up with, but it will mainly be more of an issue when he is older. (Math makes me stabby and I feel incredibly insecure about it, despite working in finance for 12 years.)

    We are already part of a 4H co-op.  Their values fall in line with ours, and it's nice to be able to get the kids out on the land and working with families who do own dairies, farms, etc.  We're not talking child labor, we're talking side-sho
