Thanking My Lucky Stars for my Homeschooling Opportunity

As school is ready to begin at most public schools in the area and across the state, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I homeschool! Over the last few weeks, I have been hearing over and over again about different situations that are related to traditional schooling that have caused people I know heartache, headaches, and unwanted stress and with the economy as bad as it is, who really wants or needs that?

Everything from school clothes shopping, school supplies shopping, summer reading lists not yet completed, buying a car for a high schooler that needs transportation, day care issues, scheduling issues, health issues, school sports and extra curricular activities, teacher assignments, meet and greets, kids stressing about going to a new school, parents stressing about kids going to bed early, uniforms, lunch menus, and let's not forget the stress of being separated from your kids after a great summer are just some of the complaints I've heard lately from those who don't homeschool. Because of those reasons and a few more, I'm eternally grateful for my homeschooling opportunity! That's how I feel about homeschooling. It is an opportunity that presented itself in my path of life and I didn't ignore it.

The funny thing is that many people don't consider homeschooling an opportunity for whatever reason. Yet, I think you'll find that most of us who homeschool are grateful for that often overlooked opportunity and we're thanking our lucky stars that we were so blessed as to seize it!
