Our number one reason for home educating our children is that it is God's way of fulfilling the command of Deuteronomy 6.
- We desire the best education for our children and that can only come from the Word of God. Thus our main textbook is the Bible.
- We pray for our children to gain a heart of wisdom. That would only come from learning God's ways and not the wisdom of the world.
- We have no time to waste. Too much time is wasted sitting in classrooms listening to teachers trying to keep order in the class. Education is far more than just academics. We teach about life.
- We are the primary responsible for our children so we need to discipline their actions. We cannot do that if we don't know what they did or said all day.
- We are the experts when it comes to our children because we know them best. We know what they need and what they don't need.
- Age-integrated teaching. Children are not age segregated like in school. The older ones will learn love, kindness and patience when it interacting and teaching the little ones. The younger ones learn better and faster from the older ones. No room for selfish attitudes or immaturity.
- Nutritious, homemade food, rather than cafeteria food.
- No peer-presure, no humanistic teachings, unstructured
- Go at our own pace
- Te tell you the truth we just love being together and learning together about God and life all day.
The list goes on and on.....
Which other reasons do you have for home educating?
