Linda's Philosophy of Homeschooling

"After homeschooling for many years these are some of the most important things I have learned......."

  1. I don't have to copy my own public school experience.  There are many ways to teach and to learn.
  2. Academics will fall into place when family and discipline and relationships with God and each other are in order.   Homeschooling forces you to deal with these daily!
  3. Real life experiences are an invaluable part of homeschooling.
  4. Close relationships with your children are a joyful unexpected blessing of spending so much of life together.
  5. Children learn amazing amounts from each other and from just being nearby when  I am teaching their siblings.
  6. There are many opportunities to develop your child's gifts and God-given bents.
  7. There is the spiritual blessing of being able to freely share and impart my values and faith.
  8. Opportunities to serve God and others abound.
