if iñigo will have home as school...

then it will be less expensive for daddy and mommy than sending him to the best school (because he deserves this) in our place;

then mommy doesn't need to stress herself and her little boy during exam weeks;

then learning will be more fun for iñigo as he can devote more time on his interests, aided by more field trips than the usual once a year;

then he doesn't need to compete with the other kids and he will learn that success doesn't need to go along with competition;

and he doesn't need to deal with bullies, sick classmates who'd share viruses with him, and boring teachers who make learning a not-so-fun thing to do;

then he doesn't need to mingle with kids that were raised with different values;

then daddy and mommy will be the main influence on his life;

and so daddy and mommy is forced to devote more time with him everyday...

to teach lessons and more importantly values, to motivate, to know first-hand of his strengths and weaknesses, to play and enjoy life...

so when it's time for him to go the big school we know that he's MORE THAN READY.

 

p.s.

homeschooling seems to be so ideal so we're doing all the research and preparation. we're not yet 100% sure on this but as of now, it's the best education that we can think of for our son from preschool to primary education.

  1. go, go, go Marie!!! i am also still thinking of the idea :)
    although, i dunno if it will really work for us.
    but i still think it's best... bdw, i have this books Mommy Teach Me and Mommy Teach Me To Read both by Barbara Curtis...she is a homeschooling mom who used to be a Montessori teacher. I havent finished reading it yet, but i do recommend the book. Daming insights and ideas esp. on the preschooler activities. :-)

  3. thanks for the reco sis. pero may nagsabi naman na the book "slow steady, and get ready" is a good start. nahihilo na ako sa dami ng titles and nangangatog na rin bulsa ko... hahaha. but my problem with the title i mentioned wala akong mahanap dito, sa amazon meron. my problem is i don't know how to order online. hahahaha. but again sis thanks for sharing the book you're reading. i'll try to ask that sa NBS.
