    #02 Reasons why you should NOT homeschool your kids!

    Are you considering homeschooling but not sure if it's the right choice for you? In this episode of "Homeschool Made Simple," Angela, a homeschooling veteran of 12 years, shares candid insights into why homeschooling might not be the best fit for everyone. Angela starts by dispelling the myth that homeschooling is a cure-all solution for every problem a child might face in traditional school. Next, Angela discusses the necessity of having a willing heart and spirit when embarking on the homeschooling journey. Flexibility is another key attribute Angela emphasizes. Homeschooling demands flexibility in schedules, routines, and expectations. Parents must be prepared to embrace change and adjust their plans as needed to accommodate the dynamic nature of homeschooling. Angela also touches on the need for parents to adopt a learner's mindset, being open to relearning concepts and subjects alongside their children. Additionally, Angela discusses the inevitable messiness that comes with homeschooling, both in terms of physical clutter and emotional challenges. Parents need to be comfortable with occasional chaos and understand that it's part of the homeschooling experience. Lastly, Angela addresses personality traits that may hinder a successful homeschooling journey, such as perfectionism and a reluctance to relinquish control. She encourages prospective homeschoolers to examine their own tendencies and assess whether they align with the demands of homeschooling. Throughout the episode, Angela offers practical advice and reassurance for those considering homeschooling. While homeschooling may not be the right choice for everyone, Angela's insights help listeners make informed decisions about their educational approach.
