So I while back I was using a random topic generator... I was just curious about what it might suggest to me as topics to blog about. I was impressed at first and then I started plugging in different words and discovered that it really wasn't all that impressive. It just had a bunch of sentences and then just plugged the words you gave it into the different sentences. So I got "why I love homeschooling (and you should too) as well as the variation of rabbits, guns, babies, boys, places etc... so it was a bit of a let down after that.
Anyways, I put this suggestion into my drafts folder just in case I ever felt like doing a "why I love homeschooling post" and since I'm needing a reminder I thought I'd talk about why I love it.
1. My son. I adore my boy and I love spending time with him. He's a bright, inquisitive lad with a firm love for critters of almost all sorts. Tonight when we were reading we were learning about a fish that spits water at bugs to make them fall into the water and I asked him "did you see that when we were at Ripley's?"
He was shocked.. they had them at Ripley's? "Where, where were they mom?"
"In the same spot as the mudskippers son" was my quiet response. "You may have been off with J looking at the sharks or something.."
He was so upset to have missed them and wants very much to go back so we can see them again. So I told him I'd go see if I could find the picture I took and he was somewhat mollified.

2. Time to learn at one's own speed. This is important you know. To be not rushed or left behind or held back. It's good to savour the learning you know?
Like when we went the Elgin County Museum. It was such a nice visit and we had the place virtually to ourselves.

taking our time at the Elgin County Museum last year. We so enjoyed our visit there.
3. To learn new things together. Did you know there was such a thing as a eusocial animal? This was actually something hubby and son taught me after they learned it. Rather neat eh? To think of a mammal living much like an insect. Just blows me away the creativity of God.
I know that there is much more to homeschooling. And I could list the whys and the wherefores of why and what we do....but what I wanted to do here was just talk about what I love about homeschooling. My son, time and learning. That's what's good to me.
Tell me please my reader... what do YOU love about homeschooling? If you don't homeschool, what do you think you might love about it?
