Homeschool is about educating the whole child.
I recently came across this graphic and it’s spot on.
It’s taken me a long time to break out of the public school mold.
I want more for Jackson than just mastering math facts and memorizing important dates in history.
Homeschool allows us to meet Jackson’s unique needs. We work on math and reading each day, but it leaves time for the therapy appointments that are so important – speech, OT, horseback riding. We get to learn about science and history and all the extra stuff in fun, hands-on ways.
Homeschooling is a privilege because I have the opportunity to give him more than a one-size fits all education.
I want him to have experiences.
Like the breathtaking view of a whale shark at the Georgia Aquarium.
I want him to have adventure.
Like snorkeling in the emerald ocean or hiking in the Grand Tetons.
I want him to spend time in nature.
I want him to pursue his interests.
But most of all I want my son to know that I am in his corner.
I want a healthy, whole relationship with him.
