I have a series of questions that I want to put out there for home-schooling moms. We are starting a ministry her in our area for the dads. What we are experiencing is dads that do not support their wife in home-schooling, do not have anything to do with home-schooling, are not believers, want to put the kids back in public school, do not understand what their role in the home-school family is, and so on. So, in preparation for ministering to these men we are asking a series of questions to help us with that if anyone has any thoughts or comments we would appreciate it. Please, only serious contributers.
- Explain why you home-school and what prompted you to home school?
- Does your husband support you in the decision to home-school?
- If the answer was yes, in what ways does he support you?
- Does your husband understand his role as a home-schooling father?
- Is your husband a Christian?
- What kind of curriculum do you use? Is it bible based or driven or it for educational purpose only?
- Is it easy or hard to get your husband to be involved in the home-schooling activities?
- Is your family a member of a local and/or regional home-school support group?
- What are the biggest frustrations you as a home-schooling mother have during the school day?
- If you attend a local church, do they support your decision to home-school and if so, how do they support that decision?
- Is it easy or difficult to home-school in your state?
- Do you have friends and family that support your decision to home-school? If so, how do they support you?
- Do you fill that you are home schooling alone or have full support and freedom?
- How many kids are you home-schooling?
- What are some questions that others outside the home-school community ask you about your home schooling?
- What is the reaction from most of the public that you hear about home schooling?
- If there was a ministry that came to your area that would help dads understand their role in a biblical way, help encourage them, let them express their heartfelt concerns about home-schooling and really would minister to them for two or three days, do you think your husband would attend? Why or why not?
- If you think they would not attend, what would it take to get them to the conference?
- If you think they would attend, what topics would you want covered so that it addressed each home-schooling families needs from their dad?

we have no need to know who you are. Our hearts are being pulled in this direction and we feel deeply that there is a huge need out there for this type of ministry and want to see what the heartbeat is out there concerning this. This may seem totally off the wall to you, but believe me there are many home schooling families out there that are hurting because the dad is not taking any part of it or feels he is totally left out of that part of the family. Thanks to all who participate.
