I am so excited to find out that my SIL is going to start homeschooling again next year. Two years ago she went back to work as a private school teacher and put her 3 kids in the same school where she was teaching. Although I was bummed, I always supported her decision because...well, because it was her decision. Now she says it makes her sad to be missing the time with her kids. She has her husband's blessing to quit at the end of the year and homeschool again. I told her she just realized homeschooling was so great, she couldn't stay away.
Oh how nice, I hope that it works out better for her and her family this time also. It can be hard sometime but I'm glad she's going to give it another shot. Maybe she can do some "tutoring" for children in her kids age range, that way they have someone to do school with?
Thanks. You are right, it can be hard sometimes. I think the 2 years of back in a school setting really gave her a reality check that she WAS doing a great job. My other SIL and a cousin that live close to her homeschool too...7 other kids just in the family, not to mention about 12 church families. She sounds very excited this time around, I think she'll be fine.
