My daughter has been in a dance workshop this week, and all the talk from the other parents was when their children were going back to school. Thay would ask me, and I would tell them we homeschool and that we don't usually take a summer vacation. In just about every instance, I was then bombarded with questions concerning our choice, how we know our children are learning at grade level, etc. It wasn't so much the questions, but how they were asked that bothered me. It seemed these ladies were asking me these questions to make themselves feel better about their own choice to send their children to public or private school. Thank you for building me back up after this challenging week. I really needed to read this today.

We're entering our 8th year of homeschool. We are homeschooling a high schooler (and a 4th grader) and I felt just the opposite as these people. The high school years are the time I wouldn't want my child in school outside the home. I think they need even more training and support at this time. The article is wonderfully written thanks for sharing it. This is a great article. We’re entering our 8th year of homeschool.

We get emails and personal notes, but by commenting on the blog you are an encouragement to other parents out there who may be struggling or will struggle in the future. My pastor just said this morning, "Sometimes you are the only form of Christ that anyone will see until they truly know Him." With Him, you can do all things! In His Grip, Beth Marye,

We have been homeschooling since 1989 and we have graduated two, have 2 currently homeschooling highschool, and 4 more behind that...We continued, even when it was causing me to bite my nails for one reason. God said. Once you have that down then there is really no alternative, is there? Thank you. I wrote on my blog about lacking in confidence, and here is a boost to my sagging enthusiasm. :) this is really awesome.
