wahmbrendamh I agree that homeschool shouldn't be about shoving your nose in a book all day. There's more to life than that. Of course, there are also homeschool groups that divide themselves on these lines. If you take some time you'll find 1 you like.

wahmbrendamh I think that groups are good even if you aren't doing this for religious reasons. I really wish that I had a group around here but there aren't many homeschoolers in my area. It would be helpful though. I'm part of some Yahoo groups now though, which have been...

We are considering homeschooling, and I wanted to hear from the other parents out there who also homeschool. What are the advantages and disadvantages of homeschooling? Also what made you decide to homeschool?

wahmbrendamh I totally agree with you. While I'm not trying to brag, everyone comments on how smart my dd is and can't believe she's only 5. I don't think she'd be this way if I didn't homeschool her though.

wahmbrendamh There's a book called "Piano For Dummies" I've been using that to teach my 5-year-old how to play my keyboard and it's working well.
