For the record I am a Christian but that is not why I chose to homeschool my children. I homeschooled my oldest child through 4th grade and I would still be homeschooling if were not for the fact that I became a single mom and I, myself, had to go back to school for my degree so I could get a job to support my children. Public school just cannot match the flexibility that homeschooling offers both in regards to academics and personal time. Homeschooling has the flexibility for a child to work at their own pace both at subjects they excel at as well as struggle. Homeschooling has the flexibility to teach to a child's individual learning style so a child can grasp material in a way that helps them to learn best. In short, homeschooling is a tailor made education whereas public schooling for the most part is a one size fits all. And when you have a one size fits all only the people that "fit" get the best education they can.
