There are so many different aspects about schooling (& raising children in general) to consider...and we are each so different. There just aren't any absolute rights/wrongs imo. I think it's important that kids have different teachers to learn from, and my kiddos have def. learned a lot about organization and perseverance at school. I agree that there are upsides and downsides to both. My 13yo son loved how much he learned academically while homeschooling, but has loved all the opportunities for different experiences at school.<br /><br />I think we're getting close to having school figured out for the next go round, but the remodel is going to be quite an undertaking. I get tired just thinking about it!Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151339860580266808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-1997265461956123052012-05-07T19:50:55.430-07:002012-05-07T19:50:55.430-07:00Many homeschooling parents I've known feel fie...Many homeschooling parents I've known feel fiercely that homeschooling is "right" so each child must do it. I think you're brave for acknowledging that homeschooling might not be right for each child each year. Schooling is a hard decision especially when there are options. <br /><br />I was homeschooled from 6-12 and can say it was the wrong choice for me. I was bright and suffered from not having teachers, mentors and peers to learn with. I do not use the word "suffer" lightly. I still managed do do well academically then as now, but can never stop wondering "what if" I'd had the resources of the public school. The more I learn about the way children's brains work the more I realize how important having both teachers and a room full of peers are. <br /><br />Homeschooling is a great option to have and many kids benefit from it. But it is not a panacea. In my opinion, it brings as many problems as it solves. As long as you put your kids' needs first, and are willing to consider just what those needs are, you'll be alright!<br /><br />Okay, stepping off the soap box now! I enjoyed your post. Good luck with the remodel!Chellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04506296443676360367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-74147993759673650452012-05-01T17:43:38.683-07:002012-05-01T17:43:38.683-07:00Me too!

I'm looking forward to getting back to posting. I just read 11/22/63! I'm so glad you reviewed it--it was great! To think I've always hated Stephen King. (He gave me plenty of nightmares in high school, so I swore him off forever.) :)Heidi’sbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647096496574605262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243923798905252664.post-37865700000937126262012-04-30T10:11:11.755-07:002012-04-30T10:11:11.755-07:00Thanks for listening to my ramblings Belle!
