Have your family and friends put you through the ringer about your homeschool choices? What about other homeschoolers? As a secular homeschooler in a very small town I find myself answering A LOT of questions. Questions about why I homeschool, why I allow my faith (or lack there of) to rule our homeschool, and why I am using certain curriculums. Check out my {Guest Post} When a Homeschool Mom Says Your Curriculum Isn’t Good Enough, and find out how I handle this particular question!
Sneak Peak…
At some point, I am sure you have dealt with homeschool naysayers—folks lurking behind the corner, questioning your decision or making bold statements, such as:
- How will you know what to teach?
- Only teachers are qualified to teach kids. You should just put them in public school.
- How will your children socialize with others?
- Your children are going to fall behind their peers.
Facing homeschool naysayers is an unfortunate yet expected part of being a homeschool parent. If you know your why, it is easy enough to face these questions from outsiders head-on and continue on your happy homeschool journey.
However, every once in awhile a fellow homeschooler may catch you off guard with skepticism and criticism. Their critique will probably take on a different form, perhaps along the lines of, “You are using thaaaat curriculum?”
