***Homeschooling works!***

Not necessarily! For some it is great! I’ve known several that have done well.

But not all. My wife’s cousin home schooled her kids. When they left home they immediately went wild and into drug addiction, crime, in trouble all the time. Now they are older adults and have not done well in life.

When our kids were young, we taught them how to make decisions.

We explained that by the time they were in High School they would be making nearly all their own decisions.

Because they had choices, and were responsible for the results, they never became rebellious.

They are all adults now and a delight to be around.

They are teaching their own kids the same and the grandchildren are a delight.

It took some work, but it was worth it.
