I have spoken of the reasons that we homeschool here, and I stand by those reasons ... but one thing I didn't really speak about in our philosophy of homeschooling is that I LOVE teaching my children! I can't imagine handing over that privilege to anyone else. I love the wonder in their eyes as they grasp a concept. I wouldn't trade those moments for anything in the world. I am enjoying the children so much while also being able to develop deep and abiding relationships with them that are priceless.
