Randi over at i have to say is hosting Back To Homeschooling Week. She has questions for each day this week...

Here is today's question...

Monday, August 6---What led to your decision to homeschool?   
Why do you do what you do?  What brought you to homeschooling?  What factors played a part in your decision?

And my answer...

We decided to homeschool our children long before we had children..or were even married. We met a few homeschooling families in our church. We were quite impressed not only with the education they had received, but with the family dynamics. The youngers and the olders all played together. They were respectful of each other. They could hold conversations with us adults whether they were 3 or 13. It was encouraging to us!
My Honey did not have a good public school experience. When he saw home education,  he determined then and there that he would be able to spare his children the "experience" he had.
We began our journey when our oldest child was born in 1993...and officially started schooling in 1998. We have never looked back! This child is now beginning high school...and we also have a 7th grader, 3rd grader and Mary beginning her schooling. Should be an exciting year for all of us!!!
