7 Unexpected Ways Life Changed When We Quit Homeschooling

For the past two years, I home-schooled my four boys.

Let me stress here that I am not anti-homeschool or anti-any kind of school! I’ve tried just about everything over the years. Each family must choose what works best for them and their children.

  • Homeschooling has to be ridiculously stressful I can’t imagine homeschool four boys you are one brave woman April. 🙂 My favorite part of this list is the fact that you started washing your face again, I laughed out loud when I read it. It sounds like you made the correct choice for your family and the boys are thriving!
