Seton homeschooling
Catholic homeschool central
I highly recommend homeschooling. We homeschool our children and we are very happy with the results. Our oldest were homeschooled from day 1 and never stepped in Public or Private School. They are now 18 and 20. Our next two are 8 and 10 and are still in school at home.
Sincerely,
Juan

Juan Thanks Juan, you have been a blessing with resources today. My children started out in public school, then problems arised, we then homeschooled, and then the children had the urge to go back to public school. They wanted to try it again--for whatever reason. Soooo, now they are back in public school...and I have noticed how pressured they are by society to dress a certain way, pressured to act a certain way, and it bothers me. When I homeschooled they did not worry about those things. I HONESTLY THINK SINCE MY CHILDREN HAVE HAD A TASTE OF PUBLIC SCHOOL, IT HAS BEEN HARDER TO JUST KEEP THEM STRICTLY HOMESCHOOLERS--THEY KNOW BOTH WORLDS. I honestly think it would have been easier if they had never set foot in a public school, so they would have never known any difference. What do you think?

| I think it is more the personality of the child. My kids have never been to public school but I have alternated between private Christian school and homeschool depending on my life situation. Daughter #1 has never thrived in homeschool. She is very dependant on group interaction for learning reinforcement. She is now doing well in Catholic school (as a senior next year) with its positive peer pressure to do well acedemically. Daughter #2 is more independant and self-motivated. She has chosen to be homeschooled again next year, her 4th consecutive year and 5th year over all. She will be a sophmore. Daughter #3 is sneaky and needs a lot of accountablitiy and structure. She does well either place and I am sending her to school next year because I don't feel like between a newborn, a toddler and a sophmore being homeschooled I can give her the time and accountability she needs. Daughter # 4 is very physically active and very strong willed. Until she does a lot more maturing, she will need the flexibility of home schooling to direct her ambition without discouraging her spirit. My best friend has 3 school age kids whom she home schooled their first 5 years, then went to public school due to her husband turning into a woman, and now homeschools again. The oldest thrived either place. The second floundered both places and the third is happier at home.

I agree. My sister had her child in public school and took her out. It was so hard on the child that she put her back in to public school. Now she's considering taking her out again, but the child resists.
I've met other families who took their children out of public school and struggled with their children. Some succeeded by persevering. But most succumbed and put their children back in public school.
I am certain that Mrs. Boo is also correct, but my children have never set foot either in public or private school.
Sincerely,
Juan
