My daughter asked me today why I chose to homeschool my children. This made me think about all the reasons that would make sense to her and might actually seem important to my children. Here's what I came up with...
1. I don't like packing lunch, a picnic is totally different.
2. I like spending the day in my pjs and so do my children. (We did this today in fact)
3. It is important to me that my children know how to do the laundry, the dishes, and other household chores. I can make these part of school if we are at home doing school.
4. I like to take 4 week long vacations whenever I can, I don't want my children missing school to do it, but I don't like to travel during the summer when everyone else is traveling.
5. I feel it is important that my children understand the Pluto debate.
6. I don't want to miss the times when my daughter says things like, "That's a magic cloud that turns into a flying moose when it rains."
7. I like Disney World in November.
8. FIELD TRIPS whenever I want, usually days when I don't want to do the dishes.
9. School everyday, even sick days, but not if the snow is good, then we ski.
10. More ice time!
