Your name: Lacy M.
Your children's age and names
(if you feel comfortable): Mikinzy 3 1/2 and Emma 2 months.
How
many years you have homeschooled: none yet really unless you count
the preschool I'm doing with Mikinzy.
What you love about homeschooling:
I love the fact that I'M in control of my daughters education, and
I don't have to worry about things being forced on her that I wouldn't
want her to
learn about. IE. I know in some public schools now
they are only teaching evolution and nothing about creation, and I
find that wrong. I don't want my daughter to have Evolution pushed
on her in schools. Among other things. Like children who's parents
say bad words in front of their children then they come to school(the
children) and say those bad words in front of my daughter and she
then picks them up. I like that I get to control her learning environment.
To me that's the most important.
What you hate about homeschooling:
As of right now nothing because I haven't done it yet. I have a good
friend of mine that was home schooled and the only things she didn't
like was when she got into high school she missed out on a few things.
Do
you have a business or interest you delve in on the side: I love to
scrapbook.
Your pet's name or most interesting animal you have
ever owned: Well I have two pets I have a dog named Bridget who is
a Scottie. and I have a Maine Coon Kitty Named Lily.
Your favorite
color :Purple
How would you describe your homeschool style: Well
I don't really have one yet. But when I do the preschool stuff with
her I will work on things with her until she seems bored with it then
move on to something else.
Schedules - thumbs up or thumbs down:
that's a hard one to answer actually, I mean some schedules are good
others are not. In education though I think some sort of schedule
is necessary, but not to strict of a schedule. one of the things I
don't like about sending children to school is that sometimes the
teacher is to strict with a schedule, and I think if your child
needs more help in one subject then another maybe spend a little more
time on it. Or if they enjoy one subject more then another and they
don't want to stop doing that subject right away go ahead and continue to
let them do it for a little while longer. I think as long as you are
able to get everything done in the day that needs to be done, then
spending more or less time on something is okay.
