Question: For homeschoolers, why did you choose, or why will you choose, to homeschool your kids? My oldest is only three and I teach him pre-school lessons, but I will be homeschooling until he graduates, and any more that I may have. But I'm curious as to why other parents decided to homeschool? My reasons were many, but a few were school violence, too much focus on socializing and not enough on learning, agreeing with a lot of what is being taught, negative peer pressure.

Answer: Wow, this is a loaded question!  Well, we decided for many reasons.  #1 reason is for faith based reasons. #2 reason is that Texas schools teach to the standardized test called TAKS, so kids are only learning to improve scores and that means more money for the school, #3 is because we wanted to be the main influences in our kids lives not the folks at school, #4 we have read numerous studies that children who are home schooled are stronger academically and morally.
