Why homeschooling?

just a quickie: I have talked this over so many times with Jared, and with my immediate family, I forgot I hadn't explained it here :). I haven't been happy with the schooling my kids receive here- even in the advanced class [which both my kids were in], they are not working up to grade level. And while Walker and Morgen both read well, their math was abysmal. I was trying to decide whether I wanted to enroll them in one of the charter schools in the area, or if I was brave enough to homeschool them. Back in February, while I was in the temple, I prayed about this and received an overwhelming assurance that I needed to homeschool them. So, I set about researching what I would need to do/have in order to accomplish this, and after I checked w/the kids, we decided to let them finish out the year at the elementary school. I used those months to accumulate textbooks and advice on how to teach, and once they were out of school, we began working on Math and English. We added Science, History, Spelling, and Book Reports last week, when everybody else started school. We had a few rough days, but have settled into a good schedule now.
