I supppose if they gave their question just a little thought, they might withdraw it. Anyone who know us, knows that we are not hermits, thus are out socializing!!!! The person who questioned it the most was my Mother-in-law, a former secondary teacher. She has seen, however, the benefits though as my children work at THEIR level and pace as opposed to the whole groups level. She does not have as big a problem with our decision as she did at first. I think, though, that maybe she could read this book and benefit from understanding what I try to express.<BR/><BR/>Natalie<BR/>mom2scone@comcast.netUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08140680919875347945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800170706364664665.post-73439780755522198792008-12-16T08:43:00.000-05:002008-12-16T08:43:00.000-05:00Thanks for the positive and encouraging personal e...Thanks for the positive and encouraging personal examples of how homeschooling has benefited your family.<BR/><BR/>I think it is important to point out to the uninformed that homeschooling is good for ALL types of personalities and can be tailored to the learning styles of each child's needs. That's the glory of personal tutoring (which is what homeschooling truly is), and the success is often easy to measure.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the opportunity to share!<BR/>Heather Autry<BR/>summer82199@sbcglobal.netHeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16513559007107098839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800170706364664665.post-11225299319834706492008-12-12T06:54:00.000-05:002008-12-12T06:54:00.000-05:00sorry i forgot my e-mail address this belongs with...sorry i forgot my e-mail address this belongs with the above comment signed SJM j-smorris@comcast.netendurancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177303133307674239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-800170706364664665.post-30895966806819667772008-12-11T08:37:00.000-05:002008-12-11T08:37:00.000-05:00Grear Heidi!

First, sociologists and many studies have shown that socialization begins at home, within the family unit amongst siblings. All which happens long before they enter school. Secondly, most people are just plain misinformed. They simply use the "S" question because that is the best shot people have taken at knocking home schooling. They really haven't done their homework! Next, I believe that parents think that their job is half over once their children reach school age. They blindly throw them out there in the public school rat race and say,"they'll be okay!?"<BR/>Lastly, I think that many times people attack socialization due to regret that they are not receiving the benefits of home school.
