Why homeschool?
In a word, freedom! Freedom from and freedom for! Freedom from arbitrarily imposed standards, freedom from a life based on comparisons to other children and the pressure to conform intellectually, physically, and spirituality. No thanks! I envision my children living a life free from such constraints. Homeschool is the gift of freedom - freedom to have a life where knowledge is truly experienced as individuals without timetables or restrictions.
Homeschooling for us is not an activity that takes place from 8:30 until 3:00 in the afternoon. It is all day, every day, every season. Learning is not something to be found in a workbook, but something to live and breathe. This is only our first official year of homeschooling, because 6 is the age of mandated reporting in Massachusetts, but really we've been at this for 6 years already. Let the rest of our journey begin!
