I wrote a post before about some homeschool truth bombs. But to be honest, I have more positive things to say about homeschool. Below are some of the reasons why we love homeschooling our special needs twins. And why we think homeschool is AWESOME!
20 Reasons Why Homeschool is Awesome
- It isn’t time-dependent. You can work it around your family schedule to suit everybody.
- It’s quiet. Kids can learn in a quieter environment.
- It’s cheap. You can create your own lessons and use things around the house to teach your kids.
- It’s fun. You can do activities that are fun and engaging for your kids. And you can also take part!
- It’s safe. You can protect your kids from various things and know what your kids are doing at all times.
