Top 40+ Reasons for Homeschooling

I remember when I first started homeschooling that the reaction I got from some people was skepticism,  I even had an ex-teacher roll her eyes at me.   I think I felt guilty about not having him in school & concerned that I could even do a good job at it.

My son is the one who asked to be homeschooled so when people asked "why do you homeschool" I put the blame on my kid in a way.  "Well, he wants to be homeschooled" & I would spout off the reasons why "he" wanted it.   He was really distracted by the unruly children in the classroom, couldn't concentrate because of it...., & I left it at that.

So, I homeschooled him from second through fourth grade.  Then he asked to go back to public school for fifth grade.  I thought well, it is the last year of elementary school & if he is going to go back, now would be a good time so he could adjust before going off to middle school.
