Home Schooling

I am a young mother that is starting to think about her child's first education whether would be home schooling or in class. This blog was started hoping that I can get some advice from other experienced parents that have gone through this process.

Why or why not?

When you are talking about your child's future education it is hard to make a decision. I still don't know which option to choose when he will go to school.

I have done some research that would like to share with everyone visiting this page and at the same time I would be glad if I can receive any advice. What I like about homeschooling is the personalized attention, specific curriculum, flexibility with my lifestyle and that the child has the freedom to explore their interests more thoroughly.

However, I am concerning about the activities for my child to participate in in order to work on their socialization skills.

Are there others factors that I have to consider besides the ones mentioned here?

Famous homeschooled people!

Some curious facts that I consider interesting to point out are some important names of successful people that were home schooled. Take a look to this list of some ex-usa presidents.

George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
John Quincy Adams
Abraham Lincoln
William Henry Harrison
Theodore F. Roosevelt

However, don't think homeschooling is only for old times. Famous actors including the lovely Dakota Fanning and successful sports people such as Venus and Serena Williams.

When Dakota Fanning was asked about her way of learning with almost no free time; she answered:
"I'm home schooled, and I have a teacher that goes with me on all my movies. She's taught me a lot because I've had her since I was in second grade, and I'm in fourth grade right now."

So, there is a portion of proof of that homeschooling does work :)

I will extend this list as I get more information about it. In the meantime enjoy the holidays and charge on your batteries to go back to school soon. Happy New Year!!!!
