Is It Time to Homeschool?
Do you have concerns about your child’s education? Have you started to ask yourself if it is time to homeschool? We’ve gathered materials that can help you make the best decision for your family.
A good first step is watching the “Should We Homeschool?” video in which Charlene Notgrass explains how and why their family made the decision to homeschool. A good second step is listening to "Homeschooling an American President: The Making of Theodore Roosevelt" (48 minutes). This podcast with Ray and Charlene Notgrass tells the story of how Theodore Roosevelt’s parents successfully homeschooled the future president.
Parents choose to homeschool for many different reasons. Next, we suggest that you think about your reasons and read “3 Reasons to Homeschool” which provides a birds-eye view of three important features of homeschooling that are rarely found in public school. If you’re struggling with fears about homeschooling, read “Are You Afraid to Homeschool” to remind you that God gave you your children. He trusts you and will provide what you need and when you need it. Finally, let God help you put first things first with the simple prayers in “Lord, Help Me Put First Things First.”
