10 things to think about before homeschooling

Posted by DAVID BC TAN under: FAQ on 5 Aug 2009.

You say to yourself: With the way things are going, homeschool is beginning to look like a real option. So what’s the next step?

To save from repeating myself to inquirers, I’m happy to report that I have added a new page that tells parents The 10 Things To Think About Before You Take The Plunge.  You can click on the tab that says, STARTING HOMESCHOOL.

A quick look will give the impression that this is something you don’t want to rush into. Indeed.  There’s a quote I picked up from a movie: “Sometimes the hardest thing in life is to know which bridge to cross and which to burn.” That sums up what a decision to homeschool will seem like for a lot of parents. The only thing is, when you’re homeschooling it’s pretty much like burning one bridge and crossing another – at the same time.
