Comments on: The Myths of Homeschooling #3 http://ceruleansanctum.com/2005/09/myths-of-homeschooling-3.html Looking for the 1st century Church in 21st century America Fri, 18 May 2012 15:18:04 +0000 hourly 1 By: Sarah Oakeshttp://ceruleansanctum.com/2005/09/myths-of-homeschooling-3.html#comment-51437 Sarah Oakes Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:12:20 +0000 http://ceruleansanctum.com/?p=117#comment-51437 Well I thought I'd make a quick comment 6 years later! I''ve tried home schooling my children over the past few months and have enjoyed reading this article I'm currently waiting for my application to go through for a primary school where I'm hoping the children will be very happy. I agree that theres a lot of myth and hype surrounding home schooling, I can't describe how cut off from normal UK community I've felt in these months, how misunderstood by Christians and non - Christians alike I've felt and how rare it is to actually be able to talk sensibly (as this article does in my opinion) with anyone about the pros and cons as people have a militant view either way in my experience. At the end of it all, I'm concluding that involvement with your children and teaching and helping them at every step is the best and the most that we can offer. This is as possible if they attend school as if they do not and in some cases, more so! My three are VERY active children and I'm exhausted. Can't wait to hear back from that school :) Well I thought I’d make a quick comment 6 years later!

I can't imagine any woman taking on the task of homeschooling unless she was absolutely convinced that it was the best possible option. To suggest that this might not be so is to suggest that her efforts have been in vain--at least to some degree. So she wants to stamp out your words. But they are helpful words, nonetheless. I appreciate what you've done here. I'm thankful to have a place to send friends who are considering schooling options. God bless. I’m a little late to the party. :)
