The Importance of Independent Homeschooling

Many non-homeschoolers ask why homeschoolers who are doing a good job are opposed to stricter regulations regarding homeschooling. Here are some of the reasons.

• Homeschoolers have seen time and again how petty Department of Education Bureaucrats and Public School Officials have misused and abused existing homeschool laws to harass homeschoolers.
  
  
• Independent Homeschooling allows parents the ability to be flexible and adopt a curriculum that is suited to their child. The freedom to use the education method and the curriculum that works best for each individual child is what has made homeschooling the success that it is. We have no reason to believe that bureaucrats wouldn't try to impose the current educational fads on us if allowed to. See Why Homeschool: This sounds like a classic reason why public schools are having trouble.
  
  
• By being freed of the constraints to keep the public school calendar homeschoolers are free to travel with their families, homeschool at the times best suited for their family, and adjust to accidents, family emergencies and illness.

There are many more reasons and I encourage my homeschool readers to leave a comment or a link telling their reasons. But as we are on summer break and today promises to be a beautiful day I am headed outside to work in the Whiskers Memorial Butterfly Garden.
