Things My Kids Like About Homeschool

During lunch yesterday, my kids got on the subject of homeschooling. My little girl said her neighbor friend told her, "I wish I could homeschool with you." I asked her what her other friends thought of her homeschooling, and she said most of them just reply with, "LUCKY!!!" :-)

So as we were eating, I asked what are some things they liked about homeschool, and below are some of the things they said in their own words.


My 11 year old boy said:

• Bigger and better lunches.
• You learn more. (My favorite)
• You can get done with school a lot earlier.
• It's not noisy when you're trying to do your work.
• Better curriculum.
• Mom doesn't have to fight traffic or worry about being late.
• I don't have to wear a school uniform. I get to wear what I really want.
• At anytime we can go play outside, well, after our work is done.

My eight year old girl said:

• You can play fun games as part of your school work.
• I get to stay home with Mom.
• You can snack while doing school.
• You get to pet your dog.
• You can go to the bathroom whenever you need to.
