15 reasons to homeschool your children

\\\\THREAD\\\\
1. Your Family Reclaims First Place

...not second...not third...first

Family is the single most important influence on a child's life and offers unrivaled support, security, encouragement, and affection that is clothed in unconditional love

*Nothing* can compete with family
2. You Can Prioritize Your Kids

Homeschool prioritizes kids by giving them an education (and childhood) built around THEIR unique abilities, talents, passions, interests, and dreams

Public education is built for the collective, not the individual...significant difference
3. You Can Liberate Your Kids

Homeschool frees kids so they can pursue genuine knowledge and happiness in their educational journey (rather than being trapped in a building)

It naturally cultivates creativity, virtue, critical thinking, and individuality

It's beautiful
4. You Can Prioritize Virtue

Cultivating virtue is crucial for sound moral development in children

Sound moral development is crucial to human life and human progress

Children need more than good fortune and training in core subjects

They need their character developed
5. You Can Avoid Government Overreach

Homeschool enables parents to reclaim education from the government (filter it through the lens of truth, beauty, and goodness) and give it back to their children

Parents are fully qualified and equipped to raise their own children
6. You Can Protect Their Hearts and Minds

Homeschool is designed to protect and prolong that divine spark in children; that raging curiosity; that insatiable hunger for discovery; that innocent and pure desire to always seek the good, the true, and the beautiful
7. You Can Give Them Greater Access to the World

Contrary to popular belief, homeschool kids have greater access to the world at large than kids confined to a classroom all day

This is crucial to their overall social development and the formation of their unique worldviews
8. You Can Be Flexible

Homeschool offers incredible flexibility built around the child

If the child can't learn the way you teach, then you can pivot and teach the way they learn

You're able to work at their pace and ensure they are successful and growing (and happy)
9. You Can Prioritize Literature

Homeschool enables you to saturate your kids in classic literature

This is one of the greatest educational gifts you can give them

It forces kids to think deeply and concentrate, breaking them free from the hyper accelerated 21st century life
10. You Can Cultivate Crucial Life Skills

Homeschool cultivates strong critical thinking skills and problem solving skills so children won't be easily carried away by the cultural waves of stupidity, ignorance, and unhinged ideologies
11. You Can Encourage Individuality Over Conformity

Since when did we want kids "conforming" and "sitting quietly" and merely "regurgitating learned information"?

They are the next generation of "society makers" and "innovators" and "pioneers" and "trailblazers"

Set them free
12. You Can Give Them An Adventurous Life

Children should be free to explore and engage the beautiful world around them (not trapped in a classroom)

You can work diligently to provide an education that is exciting and invigorating; that fans their raging curiosity into flame
13. You Can Reduce Anxiety

Adolescent anxiety, depression, and suicide decline during the summer, but Vanderbilt University researchers found that suicidal tendencies spike at back-to-school time

There's a high correlation between school attendance and suicidal thoughts
14. You Can Teach About Money and Business

These topics are virtually never taught in public school

Having an understanding of these topics is crucial to survival and future success

Instead of producing cogs in a machine, you can produce individuals ready for the real world
15. Better Social Development

Kids learn best from adults who love them, not from kids their own age who know as little as they do

Public school is an artificial reality that has no resemblance of the real world

Reality is being surrounded by people of all ages/backgrounds
