School Days: My response

I almost always respond to homeschool questions with grace, kindness, and honesty.

It's the right thing to do, and it's what I genuinely want to do.

 I try not to go too far into detail, because I've learned that most people don't want the details. 

There are times though that I feel hurt by the never ending questions that seem more like accusations that I'm somehow hindering my child by even considering educating them at home.  I keep a smile on my face, respond kindly, and in my mind, feel like a total failure.  Sometimes I even have a good cry when I think about how rude people can be. 

People, I do NOT know everything there is to know.  But I do enjoy learning, and I know how to learn.  I want to teach my children how to learn as well.  I feel led to do this, and I have nothing against anyone else who doesn't feel that way. 
My homeschool choices do have a whole lot to do with God, as do all decisions I make, the decision is not based on religious reasons alone.  And it's not an easy decision. 

I'm sure you aren't able to read this from the snapshot, but please do click here to read this post, and if you homeschool and face the same struggles that I do, I hope you can find humor and some comfort in words.
