The Future and Goals for Homeschooling

November 16, 2006

In a lot of books I’ve read, they’ve said to determine what your goals are for homeschooling. Why do you want to homeschool? Why homeschool and not some other method of education?

Part of this is so you can explain it to others (especially family members) when asked. But another reason is so when times get to be rough you can look at your goals and focus on your goals.

My main goal for wanting to homeschool is so my kids get the opportunity to maximize their learning potential. I want them to know how to learn and enjoy learning.

On 20/20 last night they were talking about myths and lies. One of the myths on their list was “Outsourcing is Bad”. On 20/20 they said that outsourcing wasn’t bad, because it lowers prices for products and services. However, outsourcing does make people lose jobs and I think people losing their jobs is bad thing.

Organizational Strategies

I was wondering what other homeschoolers do to keep organized. My kids are still young, but I still want to keep everything organized. I think they have more toys than I ever had.

I feel like I’m cleaning up room after room all of the time.

Thanks,
