The responsibility for the education of the children is the parent/s. Parents who decide to home school should trust themselves and their own good judgment.<BR/><BR/>I work as a volunteer historical interpreter in a Minneapolis museum. I am very impressed with the quality of the questions that home school students ask me. <BR/><BR/>I am sometimes disappointed when a large group of school students force me to become a crowd- control- guy more than an interpreter.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and your family.Norman Teigenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13704523935095549165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30467634.post-12294089792511137702007-09-29T18:23:00.000-07:002007-09-29T18:23:00.000-07:00Kim, thanks for posting on this topic.

See, she doesn't have siblings, which sometimes (in my worst moments) makes me worry about the phantom "socialization" when I know I shouldn't!<BR/><BR/>We're not involved in the AMOUNT of stuff that homeschoolers are always assumed to be involved in, either. For us, it's because we all go totally bonkers if we're gone from home that much! Lack of money enters into it, as well.<BR/><BR/>In my best moments, I just shrug and realise that a week at summer camp when she's 13 or so will teach her how to negotiate bathroom usage, etc.Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30467634.post-6180636948990674582007-09-28T21:34:00.000-07:002007-09-28T21:34:00.000-07:00No hurt feelings at all, these are thoughts that h...No hurt feelings at all, these are thoughts that have been rattling around in my brain for awhile and I finally decided to post them.<BR/><BR/>I knew what you meant it was just a jumping off point. I've found myself defending homeschooling by mentioning all the opportunities for socialization many times but our recent circumstances have just made me more aware of the alternatives.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978749642618639273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30467634.post-52187347767731973312007-09-28T21:14:00.000-07:002007-09-28T21:14:00.000-07:00Didn't I mention that I cut my hair? ;)I hope I di...Didn't I mention that I cut my hair? ;)<BR/><BR/>I hope I didn't hurt your feelings with my post the other day. I really need to reword it. No, I dont' see anything wrong with staying home AT ALL. I treasure the days we get to stay here and putter. I just don't like it when people think that's the only way to hs. <BR/><BR/>Although I like our land, I would either like to move somewhere a little farther away and more isolated so we aren't close enough to keep up our old suburban activities or actually move into town. We just didn't move far enough out to cut the apron strings, you know?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359542525529470259noreply@blogger.com
