Yes, yes I do. Our youngest son and our daughter are homeschooled. There are a number of reasons behind our decision to school at home, which I won't go into right now. I know there people in my life who wonder what we do all day. I can tell you that our days are quite different from what a child experiences in a public school classroom. Some of the things we work on are: Math, History/Geography, Language Arts (this includes Reading, Spelling, and Grammar), Good Citizenship, Bible (and more Bible), Science, Life Skills (to include cleaning, cooking, baking, etc...), just to name a few. We go on field trips. We meet with other homeschooled kids on occasion for parties and the like. We are involved in a local 4H group for homeschooled kids. Our son and daughter are socialized. They have friends that they hang out with after the public school day is done, and on the weekends. We "school" in our pajamas...hey, that's how we're comfortable. Their learning never ends. Just because the clock strikes 3pm, does not mean our learning for the day is done. Learning occurs ALL THE TIME. There is something to be learned in every aspect of life. You just have to open up your heart, mind, and spirit to see it.
