Home Schooling, is it for You?<\/h2>\n

Living in an urban city, I have heard more conversations about education\"home<\/a> since becoming parent, that I am sure can last a lifetime. I grew up in a suburban area where everyone pretty grew up with the same group of kids going to the same public school.<\/p>\n

Whomever I knew from elementary school, even if they moved, we\u2019d probably reunite somewhere in middle school or high school. Fortunately, the school district had a great reputation and most kids went to college. It was a very natural progression in high school.<\/p>\n

Boy, have I discovered what a difference people have had! Living in an urban city now, of course I see more private schools, independent schools, but also a growing community of those who have chosen home schooling<\/strong><\/a> for their family.<\/p>\n

\"home<\/a>Now, I personally always imagined those choosing this path as stay at home moms who wanted to give, or had the option to give more personal attention. Wrong again! According to Kathleen Berchelmann, M.D.<\/a> this is what she discovered at her first first home schooling<\/span> parent meeting:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026and so I timidly attended a home school parent meeting last spring.\u00a0 Surprisingly it was full of doctors, lawyers, former public school teachers, and other professionals.\u00a0 These were not the stay-at-home-moms in long skirts that I expected.\u00a0\u00a0 The face of homeschooling is changing.\u00a0 We are not all religious extremists or farmers, and our kids are not all overachieving academic nerds without social skills.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is Home Schooling for you?<\/h2>\n
