| If Homeschooling were a bottle filled with pills, it would look like this! Don't you think? |
When used properly, Homeschooling can be an effective treatment for childhood anxiety, learning disabilities, ostracism, boredom, decreased creativity, lethargy, over-scheduling, and childhood depression.
The possible benefits of Homeschooling can be overwhelming, and include (but are not limited to): boosted self-confidence, increase in family bonding, building of community, focused learning, explosion of creativity, increased free time/play time, and additional access to unique educational opportunities.
WARNING: Homeschooling may cause side effects such as (but not limited to) headache, nausea, weight gain, insomnia, heart palpitations, marital conflict, loss of libido, and gray hair.
USE WITH CAUTION and only under the direct care of a seasoned homeschooler and with the support of friends and family.
Homeschooling is not for the faint of heart.
Someone on my FB page just said that "For most, [homeschooling] is just plain drugs." What do you say to that? How does one interpret this statement? I'm interested in your responses...
ReplyDeleteAhhh, I had the explanation from a friend and the person whom I originally quoted confirmed: He meant that "most" people turn to drugs instead of home schooling to "fix" the problem their children are having. While I agree that diagnoses like ADhD are being abused in order to conform our children to a factory education, I also believe there are cases where medication is important and necessary and works. There's my sixty second elevator speech on medicating! LOL
