We were moved towards this decision, from a variety of sources - all confirming that we were doing the right thing for our family.
It really doesn't matter why parents decide to homeschool their children. We had our own personal thoughts, views, reasons which were then and even now - ours alone.
Every family is different. What is right for one, may not be for another.
The most important thing that matters is that there is a love and vested interest in offspring. It's not even about education, but rather - to instil a love of learning in each child.
What we know, without doubt, is that if a child loves to learn, delights in every new snippet of discovery, is happy and well balanced - knowledge and understanding will follow.A child can be trusted to learn, as it is in their nature.
We have no regrets about taking our children out of mainstream schooling - to the learning environment of their home.... Absolutely none.
Non je ne regrette rien
And nowadays we continue in the tradition of instilling the love of learning in our grand-daughter and those still to come, whom we love already....
