So this morning I got the boys on their bus (have I mentioned before how much I hate putting them on that bus), came home and put some touches on our first 12 weeks of science (we will be studying animals), and decided to catch up on some favorite blogs. Well the new CM blog carnival was posted and although the whole thing looked great their was one blog that really caught my attention. It is by Weird, Unsocialized, Homeschoolers and it talks about sheltering your children. Now I am going to admit openly and honestly the number one reason I am taking my boys out of school is because I don't like the influence that they are receiving. Their education is fine but socially my boys are at the age of 5 and 7 already becoming boys I don't like...yes I am saying that! Now I am hearing all the time from friends that this is not a good reason to homeschool. If they are doing well in school why am I pulling them out etc. Well this is why!!!
I truly think everyone should read this blog first then her newer blog post of the same theme and realize that our children are worth sheltering!

Denita, I totally agree that our kids are worth sheltering (but, you knew I would, right?). With a few crazy exceptions, I think just about any reason a parent chooses to homeschool is a good one.
And, I may come back with some ideas for your science question, as well. One thing we did (and I'm not sure what availability would be like for you) was we bought some cheap biology textbooks at a local used bookstore and used them for the pictures. We could always find something relevant to cut out for making some great notebook pages.
Great idea! I can always find cheap text books at boot fairs! I typically just pass right by them but now I will have to start keeping an eye out for them! Thank you!
And Thank you for commenting on my blog! You were the first one to do so and it has really made my day!
