I also don't have the confidence I could meet my girls' needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2467728 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:20:05 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2467728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I could.<br /> I was homeschooled for 10 years and I am quite involved with many large homeschooling resources for my job.<br /> I don't plan on it, because I plan to work full time while my kids are in school, but I definitely could and I think my kids would turn out just fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2467720 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 11:17:24 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2467720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could do it, but I don't have any desire to. I think the school/classroom experience is important for kids as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2467088 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 21:11:20 +0000 Mrs. D 2467088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could if our kids needed me to for whatever reason.<br /> I'm a certified Elementary teacher.<br /> If we had to move for hubbys job to a place we didn't like the schools, I definitely would! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2467062 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 20:54:01 +0000 LilSprinkles 2467062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could I? Yes, I am a certified K-12 teacher. Do I want to? No! I love teaching, but the idea of homeschooling is not something I want to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466997 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:56:07 +0000 LindsayLou 2466997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could. But I won't. I think the social aspect of school is important, and I also think it's beneficial for kids to be exposed to both teachers and peers with different backgrounds, perspectives, views, and ways of thinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466954 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:17:51 +0000 808love 2466954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: Yes, I could.

I started out in college wanting to be an elementary school teacher and quickly changed my mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466941 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 19:09:07 +0000 mrs.kiwi 2466941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm torn bc I love many aspects of homeschooling (play based, far more efficient, And I love teaching and watching kids learn and connect!) but as a former teacher I also have a romanticized view of the "class" and "classroom experience" that i would love for my kids to experience!!</p> <p>So if there was a co op or something where t could be half-half that would be super ideal?</p> <p>Or at least a way my children can be "in the classroom" and with peers even if it's not every single day.</p> <p>By the way I am only confident homeschooling full or part-time for elementary.. For sure not higher </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466421 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:17:41 +0000 autumnlove 2466421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I want my kids to attend a traditional school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466419 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:16:58 +0000 yellowbird 2466419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope !!!! </p> <p>I have no patience in that setting </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466410 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:13:10 +0000 BKCaribBaby 2466410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I'd want to do so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466402 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:11:48 +0000 MrsSCB 2466402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't feel qualified to homeschool. And also I don't want to :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466400 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:11:04 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2466400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to public school, private school, and was homeschooled. I preferred being at school by far so I will send LO to school. I also think I would get bored SAH. I watched my stepmom fight with my siblings to do their schoolwork and I'm just not interested in doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool/page/2#post-2466390 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 14:07:38 +0000 Torchwood 2466390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan to, but we'll see how it goes and reconsider if it doesn't seem to be working. I HATED school after about 4th grade, and it caused me a lot of issues. I don't want LO to get to that point. Homeschooling will mean letting her learn in the way that works best for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466359 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:52:48 +0000 nana87 2466359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a teacher (though in higher education) and have a strong interest in child development so I probably COULD homeschool, BUT I definitely wouldn't want to--I think there are very real, tangible benefits for learning in a school environment that I wouldn't be able to provide on my own. Also, that would preclude me from pursuing my own career goals </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466342 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:47:22 +0000 Ash 2466342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heavens no!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466340 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:46:43 +0000 Chuckles 2466340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would kind of love to for the younger grades, especially if we could join a co-op, but, as a teacher, I know how important being in a classroom can be for kids. I just worry about all the pressure and sitting at desks. If you're at all interested, or want some inspiration for kids activities, <a href="http://www.aneverydaystory.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.aneverydaystory.com</a> is an awesome blog from a homeschooling mom in australia. She's not at all religiously based and focuses on the arts. Her photos and descriptions make their days look so fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466332 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:41:46 +0000 avivoca 2466332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I definitely don't have the patience for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466325 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:38:01 +0000 Alivoo01 2466325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! He would think it's play time all the time or wouldn't listen to me/behave as well as if he was in school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466235 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 13:01:05 +0000 Cherrybee 2466235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I probably could if I had to, but I wouldn't enjoy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466223 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:54:31 +0000 deerylou 2466223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel relatively confident that my background in education would serve the academic needs of my children. However, I have zero motivation or desire to homeschool; not the lifestyle or experience I want for myself or my kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2466215 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:51:16 +0000 PawPrints 2466215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have zero training in education, so no I could not. I mean, with a tremendous amount of work I possibly could, but I would consider it the equivalent of starting a brand new career. Not something I'm inclined to take on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465986 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 11:33:47 +0000 Happygal 2465986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work in education and have considered homeschooling just for kindergarten. But it could be she is socially ready for something more structured by that point, so we will see! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465725 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:07:12 +0000 Aimed121 2465725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never! Educational achievement is incredibly important to me so I would not take it on - it is best left to educational professionals. That said, it is a good option in broken school districts, provided the one doing the homeschooling has some training or knowledge. Except for extenuating circumstances it would not be for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465721 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 10:05:39 +0000 youboots 2465721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's very common in the religious/farming/somewhat rural community where I live. So there are shares/co ops/lots of support. I am qualified enough, I have considered it but it's unlikely I would actually do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465698 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:57:55 +0000 Pumuckl 2465698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yes I am. I can definitely see benefits of homeschooling for some children and I think that with new technologies like online learning/testing etc. that it could be a good thing and maybe policies will change here. But I also see the benefit of making sure that no child can be left behind by their parents etc. just because they don't want you to go to school. So basically there is a right for each child to be generally educated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465692 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:56:31 +0000 MrsKoala 2465692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I don't think I would be a very good teacher and to me, the socialization factor that comes with going to school is just as important as the academics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-homeschool#post-2465683 Thu, 18 Feb 2016 09:52:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 2465683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I have the patience. I'm sure I could in terms of knowledge and finding the right resources and plans. I am very unsure that I could in terms of patience and energy. Plus i see a lot of benefits to regular school. </p> <p>@Pumuckl: you are in Germany, right? </p>
