Homeschooling kids is a pretty divisive subject these days and folks seem to have some pretty strong feelings on the subject.

The mom you’re about to meet used to work as a public school teacher and now homeschools kids and, according to her, kids aren’t missing out of much if they’re taught at home.

She said that going to a public school means sitting at a desk for hour after hour every day, and she doesn’t think that’s a good thing.

She also pointed out that only kids who are young get to go outside and have a recess period and that all kids sit during lunch, too…so there’s not a whole lot of movement going on.

She also said that public school is overloading kids with homework and kids are getting two to three hours of homework each night.

Well, it sounds like she has her mind made up…

Here’s what she had to say.

Homeschooling is definitely not for everyone…

But I guess it works for some families!

And it definitely seems to save the kids a lot of time.

Maybe it’s something we should look into more?
