    "I don't like to homeschool my kids." It took me 10 years of homeschooling to admit this to myself. 😂😂😂

    I love this especially the truth you shared. I LOVE my children, but being their teacher is driving me nuts most days and I love having them home with me. But I am finally ready to sign up for online schooling. This just helped me be ok with whatever decision my husband and I come too with The Father's leading.

Moved the basket to the afternoon and now call it Tea Time and its been a hit for our read alouds. Your so right! Try new ways all the time.

But I push forward because I want better for them than what they were getting in the ps system, and I love them. Isn’t that why we all do it??

    Ya I learned too. I thought it'll be great couple hours at the table doing book work and doing crafts and stuff. That method involves lots of tears. My kiddos definitely prefer the online methods. They thrive with it. It's also easier on me. Nothing wrong with electronics as long as they do other things. I feel the electronic disgust comes from people who don't enjoy them.

    • @myersfamilydiaries
      @myersfamilydiaries  3 года назад

      That's more dependent on the state rules. In TN I can't use a non-accredited curriculum, but my friends in Florida use it just fine. So find out the rules for your state.
