Why homeschool????

Why homeschool? That is a good question! Because I am crazy, because I want to be crazy, because I want everyone to think that I am crazy! Maybe but not really. After teacher for 9 years there are lots of reasons why I don't want my kids in public schools but I won't even mention them. After missing the last 4 years of days with my children while I was teaching all of the other children, I want my babies with me! I am selfish, what can I say. I love my babies and the thought of dragging them out of bed at 6:30 and sending them off to school is enough to kill me! Not only that, I really think I can do a better job at home then can be done in the classroom. Don't think for a minute I am trashing teachers. I know lots of wonderful teachers out there that dedicate themselves to their students. The system is broken, not most of the teachers. So this year is a trial run in a way. I am going to homeschool Nadia 3 days a week and let her go to the preschool that she has loved for the last two years. Maile will still be in school. I want to try it. My goal for this year is to get Nadia reading a bit and to build our relationships within our family. So here we go!
