homeschool

"...we [Susan Bauer and Jessie Wise] have come to one simple conclusion: if you want your child to have an excellent education, you need to take charge of it yourself. You don't have to reform your entire school system. All you have to do is teach your own child." (p.xx, The Well-Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home)

Homeschooling started for us because it was our only option but as we've continued to homeschool our reasons have become so much more than that. There is not a school around here where I would agree with every text book used...but with homeschooling, I get to choose every text book and teach from a Biblical worldview in all that they're learning. For us, (as long as God allows us to continue) it can't get any better than that.
