...Cogitate: "to think or reflect deeply"<br /><br />Yikes...really need to improve my vocab! Maybe I should cogitate that idea.<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-32380081298975209402013-03-27T09:21:28.829-05:002013-03-27T09:21:28.829-05:00Thanks for the comment, Tammy.

That's why I agree with your conclusion that all of the philosophizing in the world couldn't make me do it if I didn't really want to in my heart.<br /><br />Hugs, and see you next week!<br /><br />RuthHi from Ruth!https://www.blogger.com/profile/04696686601621200587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528470033811673980.post-26045916586596856902013-03-27T07:57:34.500-05:002013-03-27T07:57:34.500-05:00Thanks Ruth.

I usually start off explaining our homeschooling to others by covering much of the things you've touched on in post 1 & 2 and end with something like, "But honestly, the biggest reason I don't send my boys to school is that I just LOVE them and LOVE spending time with them, learning and discovering... and I don't want them away from me for 7-8 hours a day!" I could add, "And it's mututal!" I like the way you've put it 'cause it doesn't sound so selfish, and it's true. (Not to insinuate that school parents don't love their kids terribly - I know they do - but rather to say that all the homeschool philosophizing in the world couldn't make me do this if I didn't REALLY want to in my heart...) Anyways thanks for the posts... always something interesting to cogitate on!mommy besiegedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588755821521839531noreply@blogger.com
