Debated on whether or not we should do a homeschool blog. Truth is, there doesn't always seem to be enough hours in the day to keep up with another "to do" task. Another truth is that there are definitely some major advantages as well as some major disadvantages to hosting a blog of your own personal homeschool experiences. After carefully weighing them all, and knowing that we are conducting Sisney H.O.U.S.E. well within the homeschooling laws of Illinois, I decided that we would blog to give ourselves yet another source of written records pertaining to our homeschooling. This blog will give family and friends (especially those who remain skeptical on our decision/ability to homeschool) a way to stay up-to-date on what's going on at Sisney H.O.U.S.E.
If you are considering whether or not to blog about your homeschool experiences, the following article may help in your decision making: http://heartofthematteronline.com/should-you-start-a-homeschooling-blog/
We homeschool because we believe "There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings." (Hodding Carter, Jr.) In order to help our children establish roots and spread their wings, we believe in...strength in family relationships...an intimate relationship with God...being socially active...networking within the community to make our town a better place...excellence in academics and life skills...and that we are never too old to yearn for knowledge.
