Here’s Some Information
Ok, so like I mentioned before, I find these sites, although by no direct research of my own usually, and I want to share them. They come directly out of blogs that I have no idea how I found in the first place and they just happen to have either great links on their sites or great articles on their site that they have written. And, so, today I’m giving you Kristen over at Mom on the Rise who happens to do way more than any one person should even try to do.
She was interviewed by NYC Education Examiner Lorri Giovinco-Harte about being homeschooled herself. And, she believes, like most of the homeschoolers here and that I’ve talked to in general, and I quote, "any parent who can make the time to homeschool can homeschool successfully if he/she is also willing to seek out information".
One of the first things I learned when I had kids was "there’s a lot of things I haven’t question "why" to in a long time". My kids run around asking me why and how things work and I realized that for a long time I’ve just taken for granted that everyone knows how something works or it is too complicated for me to wonder why, just shut up and use it.
And, that was the basis that almost everyone gives me for homeschool …children are naturally inquisitive. Finding the time to dig for the information to answer their question seems to be a big deal and Kristen touches on that.
You can read her blog here and you can read the interview here. Go ahead, go read it, you’ll enjoy it, I’ m sure of it!

Agreeing with the sentiment: You can teach your child.
In fact, you already started by teaching him/her to walk, talk, eat… we’re all homeschoolers–some of us just don’t stop when it’s time for education to be formal [smile].
