If you did, how did you decide to homeschool?

Thanks you tatianna for your wonderful posts. I’ve been thinking seriously about homeschooling since I was pregnant, but I’ve been so busy teaching Marina things that I haven’t had a chance to learn how to homeschool her!
:laugh:

I have done some looking and cherry-picked resources, but a lot of what I’ve come across is faith-based, which I’m not interested in. With your lists and advice in hand, I feel more confident and capable of making a plan. Practically serene!

Dear Tatianna,

thanks so much for your assurances…

Like Longtalldrink, when I got pregnant, I had wanted to homeschool my kids instead of sending them to formal primary schools. Now’s my chance to try this out and see if I like it enough to do it full-time!!!

Kharma to you!

Tatianna,

I can’t give you enough Karma! (literally). Your posts are very informative, encouraging and inspirational about homeschooling. You’ve given me some great ideas on subjects and activities to pursue with my son.

I look forward to reading more of your posts.

Tatiana,

Did you take a training course or study to become a home school consultant? What is your training or credentials, I am interested in becoming one as well. I will be homeschooling my daughter (now 5 months) and I have taught public school for the past 13 years. Although I am no longer teaching due to health issues.
Thanks!

Anita

Thanks Tatiana,
I have been considering home schooling my daughter myself as i am a stay at home mum and am currently doing a foundation course at uni to get into early childhood education.
Your information was very helpful.
Thanks :slight_smile:

One of the main reasons we are homeschooling is because we do not like the direction the school systems are going, for examples:

  1. Teacher comes up short in student-filed lawsuit, http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=519126
  2. School sued over lesbian lecturer ,http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=522194
  3. Legal battle over mandatory sex ed in Germany, http://www.onenewsnow.com/Legal/Default.aspx?id=509324
  4. Mass. lawmakers push for ‘gay’-friendly school programs, http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=511392
  5. School website promotes homosexual agenda, http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=514310
  6. ACLU demands LGBT website access for TN students, http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=498342

School has gotton away from the main purpose to educate the children in Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. It is becoming a political indoctrination play ground.

wow,so much information to take in

Can anyone recommend a good program or a book about homeschooling a toddler?
I’d love to homeschool my son and my future children, the sooner I start the more comfortable I’ll feel about it :slight_smile:
