An old friend just told me(in an almost yelling tone) that she feels that homeschooling is wrong because her dc are getting so much out of ps. Those were her exact words. She said that her dc learn team spirit, how to act in a group, they get 45 minute art lessons, music...she went on and on. I replied "that's great, I'm glad you are happy with your choice. We are happy with our choice. Everything you mentioned...homeschoolers can have as well." It was a long and somewhat heavy conversation that has me totally drained.
I have had some insecurities floating around in my head lately(about homeschooling)and her words just made them stronger. I know that homeschooling is wonderful, I see the benefits, I love it(most days:glare:)
....but I still worry that my kids may not be prepared for the real world.
Even as I write this, I'm telling myself of course they will. Could you share a bit of encouragement for me? :bigear:
