By the end of the 4th grade, she was only reading at the rate of 10 words a minute and struggling every day. UNACCEPTABLE!!! We started at the 4th grade level, but she was really way below it. It took us very long hours that first year to Dianenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212362335710617960.post-43657101770216580552012-10-23T14:03:36.453-07:002012-10-23T14:03:36.453-07:00Thanks, Marie!

It's a great time to discover if it is something that would work for you & your family. :-) Earning-My-Capehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619658633285029097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212362335710617960.post-76308135698356192012-09-02T08:38:23.553-07:002012-09-02T08:38:23.553-07:00Great topic.

I went to school and so did he. I definitely don't want to send her to a public school, I know that much.

The way a child learns is an important factor in deciding how to educate him/her. :-)Earning-My-Capehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619658633285029097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212362335710617960.post-64427088090522724112012-08-28T20:46:19.633-07:002012-08-28T20:46:19.633-07:00In all honesty, I have been guilty of some of them...In all honesty, I have been guilty of some of them too!

I think what it comes down to is finding the right way to educate EACH child. For some, that would be a public, or perhaps a private, school, and others would do better with a good homeschooling program.

There may be one right choice for THEIR family, but it may not be the right choice for the other family. <br />Homeschooling is the right choice for my family. I expect others to respect that as much as I respect their right to make the decisions that they feel are right for their families.Earning-My-Capehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619658633285029097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212362335710617960.post-75995974760551825602012-08-28T13:26:26.772-07:002012-08-28T13:26:26.772-07:00Thanks Maryanne!Thanks Maryanne!Earning-My-Capehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05619658633285029097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212362335710617960.post-73639552879731980142012-08-28T05:04:56.567-07:002012-08-28T05:04:56.567-07:00This was great!
