Sharing the PassionIt never ceases to amaze me how different a homeschooling family’s approach can be from other families. Armed with the same information and same curriculum choices, two families can make radically different decisions on the best way to educate their children at home. Each has one eye on what would work best for their child and another on what would work best for them as the teacher.

I love to hear about these differences. For me it’s like attending a lavish buffet of elegantly presented food. The ingredients may be similar, but they’re put together in interesting, beautiful and delicious ways. And the result? Children whose parents work hard to provide the best education for them.

I sat down today to talk about something else—a fun resource that I found—and I’ll get to that soon, but for now, I’m asking visiting home educators to drop me a note. What makes your home school unique? What method do you use—unschooling, Charlotte Mason, Classical, Principle Approach or something else—and why? What’s your favorite curriculum that you’ve used and why? What gives you the most satisfaction as a homeschooler? What fun tidbit, activity or bit of advice can you share with other homeschoolers?

Those who take on a leadership role in educating their children at home should be applauded, and I’d like to do that right here. Tell me your story. I’ll choose a few to profile on this site, Homeschool Passion. Hopefully, this will encourage and give some fresh ideas to the rest of us. So please, start sharing!
