IP Logged, 68.5.12.x Report Abuse In terms of number 2 about family being more close with homeschooling I would say no; however my daughter has much more respect. Also in terms of moral or religious instruction our situation would be more like not having so much contradictions between our society's morals and the life inside of a middle school. My daughter now has new real happy friends!  From Dawn on January 3, 2008 at 4:35 pm. IP Logged, 69.1.45.x Report Abuse I love the flexibility of home schooling. I also love that I know what my kids are doing, what they might need help with, and what their interests are. Home school is so cool. From Deborah S. Hembach on December 14, 2007 at 3:11 pm. IP Logged, 71.102.158.x Report Abuse We are in the military and we move often. Homeschooling provides continuity and stability. I did not homeschool my oldest and though she did alright I know her experience could have been so much better at home. From Lis on December 9, 2007 at 6:58 pm.

I would add that a main reason we home school is because it is a better social environment for our kids. From Beth on December 7, 2007 at 8:24 am. IP Logged, 68.220.254.x Report Abuse We have been unschooling since the kids' birth. It is the perfect fit for us. I knew we would be homeschooling before they were born. As the daughter of a veteran public school teacher and a product of the public school system myself, I knew full well the limitations of a government-run system. It DOES NOT remotely serve the best interest of children. Public school's purpose is to create workers -drones - sheep. I did not want my children turned into sheep!!!!!!

IP Logged, 71.106.12.x Report Abuse yay! some real, honest answers to the "why homeschool" question! another reason: 30 plus kids to one teacher makes for one-way learning and lotsa crowd control. not to mention the testing, testing, testing! i want my children to have freedom to be themselves, learning through exploration. plus, i enjoy: reading/baking/walking/biking/experimenting/ traveling/adventuring with them everyday!!!
