I was so discouraged by comparing the wonderful activities of the public classroom with my off days. I had the public school entry form for my child filled out. After my husband's thoughtful discussion and encouragement and your blog entry, I think I can keep going.Cherylnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429829204803687958.post-19880399200637096892010-09-24T02:07:26.105-07:002010-09-24T02:07:26.105-07:00Wonderful post!Wonderful post!Leciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797629211503809046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429829204803687958.post-20993788318740923802010-09-22T13:05:36.215-07:002010-09-22T13:05:36.215-07:00I really like how you made the message a personal ...I really like how you made the message a personal one from your own experience rather than an accusatory one to the world in general.

I think it is always hard to go "counter culture" but so far, its been worth it for us. Although I do wonder if it is inevitably going to change as they get older. I really hope not, I sure am enjoying our life now that we have slowed down.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054586181460710807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429829204803687958.post-76699234686389673842010-05-05T22:39:13.727-07:002010-05-05T22:39:13.727-07:00Great post!

Ironically, if your children end up being homeschoolers with busy schedules, their schedules and lives are much more manageable because of homeschooling. My two children (now young adults) were both competitive figure skaters. Even though they skated 6 days a week, we still had a lot of time together as a family because of homeschooling.Deb Chitwoodhttp://livingmontessorinow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3429829204803687958.post-51300013506955098822010-05-02T17:21:28.767-07:002010-05-02T17:21:28.767-07:00Thanks for sharing that Tiana.

I pray that this way of doing things, most of all, encourages wonderful, close relationships between my children and us.Jodi Tutenhttp://www.firsttimearound.netnoreply@blogger.com
