Well unlike most of the other commenter...Hey Sarah,<br />Well unlike most of the other commenters I worked with kids with special needs before I had my own. Sometimes this took me into the school system and it was then that homeschooling first crossed my mind. Once I had my first son, I really started thinking about it more and more. Now we all find so much joy in it (sometimes it is hard too of course) it is hard to actually imagaine the other - him being gone from 7:30-12:30 every day, and next year a lot more. He is smart, happy and has lots of friends ;) I like the blog simple homeschool and if you want some book recomendations, I could tell you a few of my favourites as well. But no rush, you have lots of time to decide :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-24328490212204945122011-02-18T14:44:53.634-08:002011-02-18T14:44:53.634-08:00hi

( I found you through Gigi's blog; neither does she know me...another story).However, two things grabbed me from this blog posting - that you were not and now are considering homeschooling , and also that you dream about living in the country in community ( my husband and I have been dreaming that one for years..). We came from the UK 7.5 years ago. In the UK you just don't homeschool - it is almost unknown. Here, I thought people were wierd to even consider it. We have 4 blessings, 3 boys (13,8,4,) and our daughter (10)...and yes,you guessed it, we home-school. This is our 5th year and it gets better and better.......not that it is the easy option at all, but we tried school - our eldest had finished gr.3 when we brought him home to school...it is a whole life-style of difference, and teaches (me) patience, and the need to practice Prov 15 v.1 !! Bless you in your mothering of your boys and your discerning if God is calling you to this adventure :-)Ruthynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-58180347750590233352011-02-16T21:14:39.389-08:002011-02-16T21:14:39.389-08:00p.s.

Did you know Finland has been known to have one of the most successful school systems and they don't start school until they are 7 and they spend a TON of time playing and running around once they are in school.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712205243314649106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-56632288272972344372011-02-16T21:05:17.394-08:002011-02-16T21:05:17.394-08:00Sarah - this made me smile.

But the more I looked into it (and starting it now), the more I love what I see. I also don't know how far we'll go with it, but for now it feels like a great direction for us. <br /><br />I remember a while back reading study in brown's books that the KIDS were choosing to read for the year, and her daughter's choices AMAZED ME!!! I was so impressed at the breadth and depth of topics she was interested in - and how cool that she had total freedom to pursue those topics.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712205243314649106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-50563847602352790192011-02-16T19:05:38.533-08:002011-02-16T19:05:38.533-08:00Those reasons are some of the ones that have lead ...Those reasons are some of the ones that have lead us toward homeschooling too!

That is not what school should be like. I think that schools need to adapt to what the kids need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-23268745885452068112011-02-15T17:11:16.654-08:002011-02-15T17:11:16.654-08:00Hmmmm...

And I also wanted to go back to work when our kids were all in school. <br />BUT, those quotes also appealed to me.<br />I guess you never know where you're going to end up, hey?Aveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550445905918750157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649386831616551800.post-8628238835974781592011-02-15T14:55:23.868-08:002011-02-15T14:55:23.868-08:00Oooh I was wondering who suggested that!
