There is a method to this maddness!
If you haven't done so already please add your comments to the post below as the 'poll' seems to not be functioning. Thanks, we want to hear what you have to say:)
The term most of us use is 'homeschooling' which is essentially what we attempt to achieve. However, we think the work 'home-discipling' better describes what the Lord calls us to do. All of us as individuals will live that out in different ways. The one thing we can all keep in mind as a goal, however we employ our homeschooling is; We live to please the LORD. It is desirable to keep up with the super school Jones' or, it is easy to covet the easy going Gonzales'... but how has the Lord called you to live out your faith by being obedient to 'train up your children in the way they should go'?
One reason why we are STRONG advocates of home-discipling aka homeschooling is because that is one of the most practical ways in which you can obey the Lords command to train up your children. How can you do that if they are in school over 40 hours a week? The Bible states that 'Bad company corrupts good morals'. Can we not also add that good company enforces good morals?
The Lord gave your children to YOU. That is an indicator that He has chosen the best one suited for the job of raising/training/discipling that child.
Please take a minute to comment and share how you 'homeschool' in your home! God bless!

Since I can't vote in your poll for some reason.....I will attempt this!
My method is a mixture of both. I find I have to be very strict, disciplined about doing certain subjects every day. We have school usually Labor Day-Memorial Day from 8:30-12, we sit and do bookwork and structured school. The next couple hours we do other subjects that are not in our books, that are more hands on, less structured and learning activities. Our school is wrought with many educational things, that are not always books, but books are a huge part of it.
Thanks so much for your input Martha! Im not sure why the poll isnt working. I like hearing what folks do better anyways. God bless!Dana
