Homeschooling Pros & Cons

CAN most ALL ATEST??  I cannot be the only one!

I know for myself, as a Mother of a Kindergartener I had no idea how much fun I was going to have, homeschooling.  After taking him out of Catholic School his first few months as an actual student, I decided I could do this.  

How hard could it be?  

I started to realize that my child could be playing me and wants me to do all the darn work!  As his coach, I feel like what the heck, the assignments are super hard anyway & I just want to breeze through.  

Then, I had to come to realization, I want my son to be kick ass in every which way, not just while he is picking his favorite You-Tube picks.  

I think back to Mommy Dearest and have my son watching the movie now. I never ever want to be that woman!  Now, where the heck is that wire hanger.  

No, I am just joshing.  Imagine that!  We certainly would not be in half as much trouble as we are in today if that were a reality in today’s day.  

But, anyway back to the topic.  

Homeschooling SUCKS!  That was another supposedly funny gesture. 



Another common difficulty is that children often do not want to put forth as much effort for their mom or dad as they would for a teacher who is not their parent. This is especially true of kids who attended traditional school/private school for a while and then transitioned into home education.

I was surprised and confused in the first weeks when my own children– who previously attended school for eight hours a day and completed one hour or more of homework each night– cringed when I asked them to do the simplest of assignments.

They did not take me very seriously at first.  Or perhaps they did not take homeschooling very seriously.  

Now, my two-year old is all game.  And please I am praying she stays as motivated as she is now.  There is nothing wrong with being that cute nerd that everybody cheats off of on their Math/Science test.  

Let me just say, this quarantined classroom thing is more involved than my darn remote job I am getting paid from.  But, let me just tell you.  I refuse to let my kid lose or just stand there and watch him.  With this foundation, we gone make it!  Or at least I am going to die trying!

Kids Stay in Trend

    The challenges of today.. My kids are my world but let me just say that parenting is no joke!  I am ready to pull out all of my hair.  Especially with the toddler girl, testing my patience is her ultimate goal.  I certainly see myself, all over again.  Now, I see what my Mother was talking about. Sheeeesh! It is important to keep children involved with some kind sport or something.  Or the child will drive you or should I say me, MAD!  This is mainly why I got my babies involved in modeling/branding to keep them busy!  Start them out young!
