Maybe you’ve noticed our “We love Sonlight” gadget to the right. Sonlight Curriculum Ltd. is the name of the company where we get a majority of our home-schooling materials. And although it is true that we love Sonlight and we love homeschooling, some days I need to be reminded. Today is one of those days. So here goes….
- We’re free to teach our children about God and his creation from his precious Word.
- Homeschool travels well, and we can adjust our schedule to meet our family’s needs.
- We get to do “field trips” during non-peak times.
- No bullies!
- We can tailor our teaching methods and materials to meet our children’s learning needs without the fear of them developing a complex because they are “ahead” or “behind” the rest of their class.
- We get more time to observe and encourage our kids as they explore interests, and develop skills.
- Our children’s social development involves interaction outside just their peer group. (Who’s idea was it anyway that the best way to develop socially was to stick a bunch of equally socially immature kids in a room together for 6+ hours a day?)
- No hour-long bus rides or school pick-up queues.
- Our children learn together, and we learn right alongside them.
- Our school goes way beyond textbooks and tests. We’re transferring our beliefs and values onto our children while instilling a life-long hunger for learning.
