If you do not intend to put forth the time and effort to teach your children as they need to be taught then I would advise you not to take on the responsibility. I get very upset when parents say they home school their children yet teach them nothing. Giving us who do home school our children a bad name. If God has called you to teach your children then follow his rules. Eccl. 9:10a Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; I do not believe you should be so stuctured that no one enjoys it. Have fun and enjoy your children where they are now, but teach them while having fun. I agree that home school is a calling.

I think it's a "calling" not everyone is "called" to do. It takes dedication, discipline, and ALL the Fruits of the Spirit in operation in my life!! LOL I wish I had my own coffee cake recipes. Hmm, my daughter Lydia - who was home schooled - is starting culinary school this fall....maybe we might actually get our own recipe for coffee cake!! ROFL I don’t think home schooling is a club or cult. I think it’s a “calling” not everyone is “called” to do.

I was convinced I was just on a procrastinating tangent when I clicked through to your site, my friend! Now I know it is to sooth this momma's heart! After 18+ years, I am "graduating" home school with my youngest (of three) this year. And, I have shed more than a few tears as I reminisce. After reading this post, I have to wonder: "Why didn't you and I meet ten years ago?" That was when I was ready to toss in the towel because I didn't qualify for the "club" on anyone's terms ... http://traciscottage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif Having served as a home-educating, citizen lobbyist and advocate for educational choice, I have learned that stereotypes are detrimental for all concerned. Traci, I deeply appreciate your clarifying comments! (And realize we didn't meet because we were busy learning-at-home with our children! http://traciscottage.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif) ~Blessings to you! LOL!
