Some of you know that we decided to home school our kids last semester. If you want to know why (and why not) you can click on those links. This year we decided to send our middle son to public school Kindergarten. Our oldest son had the option and decided to return to public school. Before I tell you why, here are a few reasons why not!
1) Because we don't really love our kids enough, if we did we would home school.
2) Because we didn't like the leisurely pace in the mornings, everyone getting enough rest and starting the day off nice and slow AFTER my second cup of coffee.
3)Because our home schooling was a terrible, torturous experience and we would never do it again.
4) Because we hated spending so much time reading together on the couch and all those pesky trips to the library.
5) Because we know that they really can't learn social skills they need to survive with home school.
6) Because they were starting to act so introverted, stopped speaking to anyone outside our family and started speaking in Latin.
7) Because they hated having so much free time to play legos and go on "adventures" in our house with their imaginations.
8) Because I really do believe the government should decide what my kids learn and when and how.
9) Because those taco snacks and chicken nuggets for hot lunch are so much more nutritious than my home cooked meals.
10) Because they were driving me crazy (okay, that one might have been slightly true some of the time).
11) Because all that time doing family devotions and scripture memory with them was such a drag.
12) Because I couldn't teach them as well as some total stranger could, and it isn't really school when you do it at home for just a few hours a day!
I'll post again soon with reasons why we went this route this year...and some first day of school pics.
