Patience is a skill that I am still working on, and I’be been doing this homeschool thing for a while now!!!! There are definitely benefits to having someone else teach your kids. We chose to have our kids take music lessons from other instructors because they seemed to respond better with the coaching of someone else in that area!

I struggle in science, so it is really helpful to me that the boys have teachers that they can ask now in high school. That was one subject I really needed help in for their education. It is great that there are so many choices now for educating at home, and through the public school systems! And for us, the mix of public education and the freedom to learn at home was just the right balance.
