Someone once told me it's good to write from your heart your reasons for homeschooling when you first start - and then look back on this each year. In today's post that is exactly what I am doing. This is a post from July 6, 2010. None of my feelings have changed. In fact, they have only grown stronger over the past year.
I don't mean to offend by speaking poorly of the public schools - I realize from my own experience that it is difficult to affect change in the bureaucracy we call public education. I know so many well intentioned and hard working teachers and administrators, and my hats are off to them.
