Hi iluvkids.  :) Welcome! 

This is going to be weird but I am going to tell you something my hubby said.....

They're only BB's until their teens. Then they're full grown bullets. And I am the pistol who will fire them off into the world.  

*chuckles*  lol

Hi!

My name is Kim.  I am curious about homeschooling and what it takes.  I have an 11 month old BB.  I am trying to see if homeschooling is an option in the future for him.  

Thanks!

Now to answer your question....

When your child is 20 years old, do you want him/her to propagate the views, ideals, morals of what you grew up with or do you want them to propagate what society propagates today?  Watch tv for 2 hours before you make your decision.

Well Hi mommathea. Welcome to the group.  :)  

We do some book work and some unschooling and some structured schooling as well. It just depends on what will work with the current mind set of the day.

I have a 4th grader, who age wise is a year ahead in school A 2nd grader A kindergartener And preschooler We do a combination of bookwork and unschoolling. Math and language are our main book work with everything else being much more relaxed.

Hello SagaMom. Welcome to our group.  :) 

I have seven children who also have never stepped foot inside a public school and never will - God willing. 

Quoting SagaMom:

Hi

My name is Robin and I have been homeschooling since 2003 when my daughter ended up a teen mom and the public school she was in said she had to go.  Technically I began homeschooling when my youngest son was born in 2001, he has never been in public school. 

I have 3 living children, Josh 26, Kelsey 23 and Curtis 11.  Miscarried my 2nd child, Justin who would be 25.

I am married to my wonderful husband of almost 15 years, Roger.  Roger is my 2nd husband and we have one child together, the youngest.  Our 2 older children are fom my previous marriage.  Roger and I have 7 grandchildren, 6 girls and 1 boy.  They range in age between 8 to 1

Our youngest son, Curtis is on the Autism Spectrum, he has high functioning autism or Asperger's Syndrome.  We only found out about this when he was 7.5 years old.
