    Trey is right on 100%. He could not have stated the reasons for home schooling better. The typical stereotypes such as lack of social interaction or skills as a myth is right on. Thank you Trey for stating and defending the integrity of homeschooling so well.
    I would like to add that if anyone is thinking about homeschooling, you must be called to do it. If you don’t feel called yet, continue to pray and research it until you are called. Once you have a calling and start the process be patient, you will be rewarded with many blessings.

      Appreciate your comments Chris. Trey was also very appreciative and thought your comment about calling was dead on. If you don’t mind, would you share a couple of the biggest challenges your family has faced in homeschooling and how you worked through those? Thanks for listening!
