Tears. Frustration. Doubt. These are often the feelings that accom- pany homeschooling families who wish they could change
their approach to education mid-year. If
you’re;like;many;families,;you;dive;head-first;into;homeschooling;with;big;dreams
and;a;plan;of;how;to;make;them;all;come
true. You picture your children eagerly
devouring curriculum. You see yourself
conducting science experiments with
your children that bring ho-hum material
to life. Instead of being bound to the rigid,
faithless public education system, you see
frequent;field;trips,;music;and;art;appreci-ation, invigorating discussions about faith
and values and so much more. You never
expected to hear so many suspicious questions about your choice to homeschool.
And then;reality sets;in.;Your;kids are
tearful, frustrated and maybe even wondering if life would be better if they went
to school elsewhere. And so are you.
You’ve;come;to;a;crossroad.;Something
must change. Because your homeschool
dream is fading away but something inside
of;you;thinks;there;must;be;a;way;to;make;it
work;better.;That;something;is;right.;You’re
not stuck. Changing your approach to
homeschool mid-year is actually easier than
you;might;think.;In;fact,;it;might;just;be;the
easiest;and;best;decision;you’ve;ever;made.
