This has definitely been our biggest challenge. The desire to learn MUST come from within. Inspiring that when it has been beaten from a child is... shall we say... monumentally difficult

I hope your hubby is feeling well! :-( I've been so busy myself and the new school year is bearing down on me like a tsunami! Piano program? Do tell!! My mother bought us a piano that has ports and connectors and such for a computer hookup but I haven't found the time to do the research into...

I should keep a journal. When I look back to where we were when we came out of school (my first grader crying every single day and shoving my second grader into the school building...) I know we have come so far. And my girls love school and love learning now so I should stop looking at...

:-) Thanks!! My husband and I really prayed a lot about homeschooling and definitely felt the call to do this. I need to have more faith that God knows what He is doing! Thano you for that. I know I feel this call so it can't be wrong.

Thanks!! I appreciate the links. We have to move in the next couple years and TN was such a good choice for many other reasons. I did not know about umbrella options. I guess anything is "more" for me since I literally do nothing regarding the state. No attendance or grades or anything. But I...

I also want to note that I love New Jersey for homeschooling laws. Essentially I am as free as I can possibly be. I am free to educate my children in the very best way possible for them. It's fantastic. It is enough to keep us from wanting to move out of state, despite my husband's plant closing...

OK I decided to take a chance and jump in. Hi everyone :-) I homeschool my two school aged daughters aged 10 and 8. I also have a 3 year old son, a 1 year old daughter and a daughter due in November :-) My 10 year old is very bright and wasn't being challenged in school but was being bullied...
