Why Continue to Homeschool?

A neat post that resonates with my reasons for not assuming my own insanity and throwing in the towel. Fave quote:

For the first five grades Mrs. G. focused on reading to her kids, having them read to her and learning the basics of elementary math. All other subjects like science and history were explored through good books or books on tape, good PBS shows, good magazines, good cooking, good yard work, good playing and good cleaning of bathrooms.

Yesss! Score!

Pretty much how I do science and history! Though since I'm a writer I make them journal almost everything they read! They definitely remember more that way.
