Homeschooling Turn-Around

I love the article below! As a Youth Minister years ago, my experience with 2 homeschoolers from very different families totally changed my opinion of homeschooling. I later met another family with 5 kids who had been homeschooling for years, and they blew me away too! All of these young people were leaders, some were out-going, some were shy, but all were articulate, incredibly balanced and bright. They were liked and admired very much by the other kids in our program, they had many friends from all different walks of life, had developed many interesting talents, were curious about the whole world, could converse in the most amazingly poised manner with adults and peers alike, possessed sharp humor and insight. I went from thinking homeschooling was pretty horrible, to thinking it was amazing, even fantastic. Little did I know that God was readying me for the son I was going to receive after 5 yrs in ministry, who would be ultimately be too ill to go to school...and the daughter who would blossom and benefit from having years to bond with me and grow into her own, beautiful person. What a revelation this schooling journey has been. I'm incredibly grateful to live in a country and state where we can live this life. It's such a privilege and blessing for our family.
