Pro's of Homeschooling ~Better social skills ~Custom fitted curriculum/spending extra time when she doesn't get it/moving ahead quickly if he does ~Enhanced family relationships ~You know exactly what your child is being taught and when ~Specific to my family: no bullying; no catty Queen Bee girls teaching my daughter to treat everyone else like dirt ~Can include your religious beliefs in curriculum ~Not as many kids (if any) to compete with your child for the teacher's attention ~Studying in-depth the topics that your child is really interested in; participating in gardening/animal husbandry at home or with relatives or friends ~Employers really like homeschool kids because they are polite and take direction well ~Colleges really like homeschool students because they are usally more advanced than the average freshman and they have such great study skills Cons ~Sometimes we have a little TOO much togetherness ~You either have to spend a lot of money to buy curriculum or a lot of time to create a curriculum. ~I get so tired of my elderly grandmother bringing up socialization over and over again! But she can't help it! I have a website with my experiences, opinions, and a bunch of links to homeschool resources: http://kellylee.info and another member of this group, Cassandra, has a freebies page at http://educationalfreebiequeen.com
