What exactly is Homeschooling?

Ask five different homeschooling families what homeschooling is and you'll probably get five different answers. Basically, homeschooling is a deeply personal, interactive relationship between parents and their children. There are many different methods, curriculum, schedules, and philosophies used by homeschoolers. The common bond that all homeschool families share is the desire to create the best atmosphere for their children to grow and learn.
While most parents have this desire, homeschooling is not for everyone. It is a decision not to be taken lightly. Homeschooling requires complete devotion. (When you think of it, shouldn't all the responsibilities of parenting be given complete devotion?)
However, it's not as heavy a burden as you might think. With all the resources available these days, the hardest part is making the decision. And for Christians the burden is taken care of already, as are all our worries! Opening our hearts and lives to Christ gives us the power to succeed.
If homeschooling is what God has in mind for your family, then take heart. He will never give you a task without going through it with you!
