Why I chose our homeschooling method: ECLECTIC
- I HATE being told what to do, what order to do things, and what to say. I'm pretty childish about this, actually!
- I LOVE being about to explore anything and everything that interests us.
- There is NO kid who is exactly "on grade" in every single subject. That's just silly talk.
- I refuse to let someone else decide what my kids need to learn.
- I will not pay those prices. The internet and the library are FREE.
- I am not impressed with "kits" as a whole.
- We can reassess and try something new without wrinkle in our journey.
- I don't have to participate in the endless curriculum debates. (Perhaps this should be #1!)
- Less boredom.
- We can unschool anytime, anywhere.
The top 10 questions people ask you
- What curriculum do you use?
- What should we do for science?
- How do you teach math?
- Don't your children miss school?
- Having a problem? Maybe this is the time to try "school".
- What grade is he in?
- Doesn't she miss having friends?
- Don't you care if they can get in to college?
- Are you homeschooling because YOU had a terrible schooling experience?
- What do you do for subjects that you are no good at?
10 Pieces of Advice You Would Give to a New Homeschooler
- Don't buy anything yet.
- Have your little ones around when you are working with the big ones.
- If in doubt, relax and see what happens.
- If you are interested in a Typical Course of Study, Worldbook offers this "by year" break down or suggestion.
- Find some other homeschoolers right away if possible.
- Remember to fit materials to your child's interest, rather than the other way around.
- Critical Thinking and Character are important things to learn by living.
- Spend less! Use used materials whenever possible.
- Appreciate the moments.
- Keep on loving!
