Homeschooling Do’s and Don’ts

Our homeschool has changed quite a bit over the last ten years. We’ve added two “students” (officially) and I’ve relaxed quit a bit. I’ve grown comfortable in my homechooling skin. From my ten years’ of experience, I offer you ten homeschooling do’s and don’ts (one for each year!).

A lot has stayed the same, too. We’re every bit as eclectic as we were back then. That was back in the days when somebody would ask me what we used for school and I would rattle off a laundry list of curriculum. We never were a one-size-fits-all kind of homeschooling family.

So, what have I learned in those ten years? A lot. From my ten years’ of experience, I offer you ten homeschooling do’s and don’ts (one for each year!).

1. Don’t knock somebody else’s style. I’ve said this before and I’m sure I’ll say it again a time or two: don’t criticize someone else’s homeschooling style because you never know when it will become your homeschooling style.
