New question, ladies: Let’s introduce ourselves and talk about how we got started homeschooling. Was it a friend that inspired you, or a speaker you heard?

Hello all! My name is Amanda and I will start homeschooling this fall. My daughter is almost 5 and my husband and I decided to homeschool her instead of sending her to public schools for many reasons. My family is very supportive so that helps a lot!!! I think with all that is going on in this world....my daughter is safest with me! Period. Not only that but I want to teach her morals and values that she would not get in a public school. Thanks for having me.

Hi, my name is Phoebe and I have two children, one in 4th and one in 6th. We started homeschooling when my oldest was in preschool. Our main priority was in teaching our children the Bible and we knew that sending them to public school, they would not hear or learn anything from God’s Word. I also feel that as a parent it is a gift to teach our children to better prepare them for God’s purpose for their lives. I thank God that He allows us to teach our children. We really feel glad to be doing this.

Hi, all, Anji here. We have homeschooled continuously since 1990. Our six children range in age from 25-5. When my oldest son, Pedd, reached 6th grade at the age of 10, his teacher said that he was so immature for the class! Couldn’t he repeat fifth grade? No, we were firm, he was on the honor roll in fifth grade and making him repeat a grade would hurt him spiritually. My husband brought up the idea of homeschooling.

Chandler has been in school until this year and i’ve been going around in circles trying to find the best way to teach him. It’s been tough becuz the public school has abandoned us.
