People who don't home school some times have a hard time grasping what it looks like. Some think we sit around at home, all day long and do nothing but study for Bible Bowl, right!
Others don't realize there are home school sports, choirs, bands etc., just like any other private school. What makes 'home' schooling such a great for our family is that very little of it is done at home.
For our family, our kids do much of their school work on the computer. A professor will introduce the subject matter, if it’s Science and they are studying volcanoes, then the professor will discuss the hot magma, ash and gases escaping from below the surface. The kids will also see video of a volcanic eruption and the professor will demonstrate the baking soda & vinegar volcano. Because all of our subjects are from a Christian point of view then the professor will discuss the importance of information learned from Mount St. Helens to the Creation vs. Evolution argument.
Anyway because this is done on the computer every lesson involves a quiz, is instantly graded. If there is something the kids don’t get, they can re-watch the lesson. The awesome thing is, they can do ‘school’ in the car on the way to Tulsa, sitting in the waiting room of the dentist, or while the other sibling is at the batting cages.
Very little of our ‘schooling’ is done at home!
