Reasons my children like homeschooling

Oh so you thought it was just mom that loves homeschooling?  That children are reluctant participants in this thing called homeschooling.  Well you would be wrong.  Happy to say they love it too!  They have plenty of reasons of their own, so I interviewed each one and asked them what they loved about homeschooling. 

Chad (8 years old)

• because we get to be with our mom
• its funner
• we get to do art
• we get to go out with dad and do school later
• reading eggs is my favourite
• like doing my Mandarin
• you don't have to one subject for so long you do lots of subjects
• when its break time we can ride bikes instead of just going to a playground at a school
• that we are not separated from our brothers and sisters during class and we do subjects together

Ethan (10 years old)

• fun
• better than school
• get to bake
• do fun experiments
• get more freetime and don't just ten minute breaks but half an hour breaks
• (my son of few words)

Declan (11 years old)

• when we don't have to work according to the school calendar and take breaks when other people don't
• we get to go on lots of outings
• being with my mom and dad most of the day
• not having to do homework after school
• playdates during the week
• visits
• that we can play with Lego while during our literature read alouds
• listen to audio books while doing art
• no bullying
• because we are at home together we get to enjoy every meal together as a family

Ruthie (4 years old)

• I like doing school with my bwafers (her pronounciation), especially on a Wednesday. (????) Oh well there you have it.

Have you asked your children what they like about homeschooling?  Leave a link if you have to your blogpost, or write it in the comments!

What would you like to read here?

I am writing about 10 posts at the same time and none of them finished yet.  Sounds like the sort of thing I like to do.(just like the way I read my books and the way I approach my crafts)  If you read my blog regularly, you know that my source of inspiration is varied, it can be person, to something that inspires me, to handles on topics that I think might be of value to you. Which led me to this point.

What would you like to read about?  What subject would you like me to discuss?  What's bothering you?  How can I help?  I might not have the expertise but if I don't, I will find someone that does who can do a guest post.  I would love to hear from you.... why not give me your list of recommended topics.  Don't hold back - the one opportunity in a life time that you have to be the boss:)
