(Morgan falls asleep reading her book)
It always amazes me to hear people's comments when they hear that my girls are home schooled. It is a 50-50 reaction. Some people agree and some disagree with homeschooling.
Those opposed to homeschooling, usually site the social aspect of staying at home. My children will become freaks of nature- not able to communicate with people outside of their family- is usually what they say.
I have had people so adamant that I am wrong tell me stories of children they know who were home schooled and turned into quiet children. They are so sure that if the children don't go to a school building, they will not develop skills to socialize. Maybe they will turn into hermits! Like the lepers of Jesus' time, they will live separate from society, never to see or talk to anyone!
I tell you, they must not know my children! If you meet either of my girls, you would never look at them and think those things. They are faced with more activities than many children their age. We have a calendar full of them!
I am making this post for the people who are bent on thinking home schoolers are unsocialized. Follow my blog, and watch all of the fun we have! In addition, you will learn some things about what you can do with your own children. Children are meant to be cherished! They are only little for so long!
