SH #109: Reasons to Homeschool (There are a lot of them!)

SH #109: Reasons to Homeschool ~
Written by Jamie C. Martin of Simple Homeschool and Introverted Moms

PLEASE NOTE: In this episode Jonathan and I chat about some sensitive topics, including our experience with school safety, that I don’t recommend for little ears.

Welcome to a new episode of the Simple Homeschool podcast as we continue a special series with my 18-year-old son Jonathan!

Jonathan was homeschooled from K-12th grade, and in this episode we talk about some of the most popular reasons families choose to homeschool, including our own family’s story and experience.

Reasons to Homeschool (There are a lot of them!)

In Episode 109, you’ll hear us discuss:

• Our personal story of what got our family into homeschooling
• Homeschooling for freedom and flexibility
• Homeschooling for emotional or physical safety
• Our experience living in Newtown, CT in Dec 2012 and its aftermath
• The worst reason to homeschool…or is it?
