Telling Tales ~3: #Homeschooling

Each week I'm going to try to bring a little of my experience with homeschool right here. Some of you may have experienced it, some of you most likely will...some may be fortunate enough to have everything run smoothly. In any case, I do hope you'll join me each week for some tidbits.

(Please feel free to send me your myths...I'll see if I can prove them correct or incorrect in upcoming features - socratesisdownstairs@outlook.com)

Myth #3: In order to homeschool, you must be a teacher/have college degrees.

INCORRECT -- The most important thing to consider when homeschooling is having the best interest of your children in mind. A commitment to their education and the ability to know and work with the different learning styles and needs your child(ren) may have. There are also opportunities to co-op with other homeschool parents (in person or virtually) and share teaching opportunities. You aren't good at English? Maybe another homeschool parent is great at it but doesn't do well with History and you do. Make a swap :) (and possibly gain a life-long friend for both you and your kids)
