Here is a post from Artful Homemaking. I just had to share this post because it is the heart of why so many of us home educate our children. Many people do not understand why we choose to take on this responsibility. For me, it requires so much of my time, emotions, and physical strength. It is a loving sacrifice. You will, in time, see the fruit of your labor.
Home education is about relationship. It's about love. And if you have
that, you meet the requirements for teaching your children at home.
You are qualified.
"Show me a mother with an enduring love for her children and I'll
show you a mother who meets the requirements for home teaching. With
love comes the self-sacrifice, daily discipline, kindness, patience, and
determination needed to set her children's feet on the paths of
righteousness, skill, and knowledge. She who sows seeds by home
teaching, over time will reap the fruits of her labor."
