[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you homeschooling your children?[/quote]

OP here

We started because we lived in an area with terrible schools but loved the area otherwise. We have since moved. We now live in an area with decent schools and a great local Catholic school but continue to homeschool because:

a) Homeschooling is giving my children an excellent education. They receive a rigorous classical education that is just not available in schools. They learn things like diagraming sentences, memorizing capitals of countries worldwide, and receive a history education that is truly global.

Are they good problem solvers? How do you foster critical thinking? Do they have opportunities to participate in academic discourse?[/quote]

Yes, they have regular opportunities for problem-solving and critical thinking. There are ample examples of lesson plans, writing prompts, and discussion questions for the classic works my children read. We also analyze historical events on their elementary-school level, such as understanding the impact of geography or finding patterns in history. Co-op classes also provide opportunities to discuss ideas with classmates.
