The decision to home school your child has a significant influence in his or her life. In a two parent home, both parents should be onboard or the experience may become fraught with tension. Having a home school is a whole family experience. It is not play school; your home school becomes the educational vehicle for your child or children. Because making the decision is so important, many factors must be discussed.

First of all, parents should discuss their reasons for deciding to home school. Maybe the decision is a religious one. Many parents want to give their children a Bible based education rather than a secular one. Today many churches encourage home schooling as a way to keep their children away from education that they deem too ‘progressive.’ If religion is the reason for home schooling, parents must decide which Bible based curriculum they will follow or whether or not to create their own.
