I much appreciate your sharing what you have learned on the subject of homeschooling.<BR/><BR/>Also, I read your bit about being "skinny" and have to say its nice to know I'm not alone in the frustrations. I know that many people who appear skinny can be harboring dangerous fatty tissue around their organs particularly the heart. Women need to be especially careful no matter their outer appearance because our risk of death from a first heart attack is significantly higher than it is for men. I much appreciate your candid sharing on the subject of being skinny.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818299736856843173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32100773.post-75199833338796042172009-01-26T07:51:00.000-05:002009-01-26T07:51:00.000-05:00Christa,I'm so glad to hear that you are thinking ...Christa,<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad to hear that you are thinking about homeschooling. I can completely understand that you are being careful not to share you thoughts with family and friends because you have to be ready for some negative feedback.<BR/><BR/>I think a lot of the problem is that people just don't understand anything about it. I think they base their views off of stereotypes. I'm sure they might know of some bad examples of homeschooling too.<BR/><BR/>You are right, your average parents does have their children's best interest in mind....and that may be homeschooling for a lot of parents. <BR/><BR/>As Danita commented in Part 1, for her son, it was best for him to be out of a public institution and to be taught at home. I would encourage you to read her comment. She brings about some interesting points because she has been there.<BR/><BR/>Also, the great thing about blogging is that you've got some great homeschooling parents at your finger tips, who I'm sure would be happy to talk to you about it. It would be helpful to have a group of mothers behind you who have been there...and know what ridicule you might be under. There is also a lot of resources available to you via the web so you can really do research and know just where to start. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for commenting. I will pray that God would show His will to you. <BR/><BR/>Melissa :DMelissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729217616060227200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32100773.post-65416195659823629862009-01-26T06:53:00.000-05:002009-01-26T06:53:00.000-05:00We are thinking about homeschooling next year so I...We are thinking about homeschooling next year so I am finding this article to be both helpful and encouraging. We have not yet publically announced our decision since we are not sure yet, but I do anticipate some negative reactions from family and friends. Those reactions and the stereotypes are the very things that make me second guess the decision. I think that most parents truly have at the center of their heart a desire to do what is right for our children, we just hold different values and go about achieving those values in different ways. Thanks, for sharing this.Christa Haglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216732379533018264noreply@blogger.com
