Just curious...

12. Because I know better about my child

than the school system, and I have her best interests in mind.

I am reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" along with my older daughter who is reading it for English in school. The scene in which Scout is disciplined by her teacher because she can already read is spot on with our local school system (not really that bad).



1. Homeschooling allows you to advance and focus your child's education towards their aspirations and career goals. Seriously you have to start planning in middle school especially if you want to be a doctor.
2. Homeschooling allows flexibility in schedule. My oldest wants to take three electives next year (two Journalism classes and an Engineering class). When you remember you always have to the big five (English, Math, Social Studies, Science, and Foreign Language), three electives just will not work. My oldest is Homeschooling in Social Studies to open a free period.
3. Homeschooling is the ultimate safety valve to avoid bad schools. These bad schools could range from individual classes and teachers (like our school system) to outright dangerous schools. I consider Homeschooling an absolute right for parents, and just because as few abuse that right, the option should not be taken away from the rest of us.
