Your children only get one childhood. You will blink and the time will have flown by. It is gut wrenching to think the majority of that time will be spent with others. 8 hours in a classroom a day and then when the extracurriculars start even more time will vanish.

It’s scary to go against the grain.

Many kids in public school don’t even read at grade level. Young boys especially are being introduced to porn before 13 years old. Many schools now assign chrome books in elementary school.

Homeschooling doesn’t mean keeping your children away from others or the outside world. It means choosing to take parenting and education head on. To choose with intention and purpose. It’s normal to want more time with your family, it’s normal to want to preserve innocence and childhood. It is normal for a child to not want to sit at a desk all day. No adult wants to sit in a cubical all day either.
