Interested in getting to know other home-school families here on MyLot. We have been homeschooling for the past three years and have not looked back.
I suppose what I would like is to find a few homeschooling parents that can offer encouragement and ideas on ways that I can improve our experience.
If you do homeschool, what does your school day/night look like? How many hours do you spend schooling each week? What have you found to be the pros/cons of homeschooling?

I have been homeschool for about 24 years. I have graduated my first 3 and our caboose is in 10th grade. I wouldn't choose any other way. The pros are 1. no federally mandated curriculum 2. your child's learning style and personality are in the forefront 3. the parent imparts their values to their child 4. your child can excel where God has gifted them and follow their dreams. The cons, for me, have been selfish family members who think, because we homeschool, we have no schedule or demands and they want us to change our responsibilities and time to accommodate them.
As far as the time we spend, each day differs. It is dependent on the assignments, field trips, and extra curricular scheduled for each particular day.

Homeschooling seems to be a good idea if you have the training to do so. But the children might have some issues with socializing with other people as they grow. You can check other sources regarding that.
