| Homeschooling Hall of Fame The following famous people were homeschooled! Homeschooling works! |
| And You!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Children require guidance and sympathy far more than instruction. - Anne Sullivan (Helen Keller's teacher) Homeschooling and public schooling are as opposite as two sides of a coin. In a homeschooling environment, the teacher need not be certified, but the child MUST learn. In a public school environment, the teacher MUST be certified, but the child need NOT learn. - Gene Royer |

the curriculum recommended for children in grades 4-8. So take a little time, play with your child, and
watch how quickly he/she learns.

Can Be SUV! And of course, you'll want to try to avoid running into the Truancy Officer lying in wait to
send a homeschooler to court! Don't worry, you can use your "HSLDA Member - GET OUT OF

15 Reasons to Homeschool your child
1) One on one education by someone who deeply cares for your child.
2) Education tailor-made for your child; not too fast, not too slow.
3) Ability to explore educational interests with your child that he/she enjoys
4) Avoidance of state-sponsored evolutionary teaching, which does not come from God, but the devil.
5) Avoidance of poor peer influences which can lead to rebelliousness in your child. The Bible says that
bad company corrupts good character.
6) Flexibility for your family to take days off and vacations that are convenient for YOU.
7) More time to spend with your child. They only stay young for so long and then they grow up.
8) Opportunity to forge lasting deep relationships with your children beyond what you have now!
9) Avoidance of state socialistic pressures, like mandatory vaccinations.
10) Your child will learn to grow into a Godly adult by exposure to Godly adults like you and those in your
homeschool co-op group.
11) Freedom to teach the Bible, biblical principles, and to pray in school.
12) Less stress because of greater flexibility.
13) An opportunity for you to learn with your child.
14) Avoidance of school violence, temptation to engage in sexual activity, temptation to use drugs, and
peer influences to disrespect authority figures.
15) Homeschoolers often excel far beyond their public-schooled and private-schooled peers.
