HomeSchooling all 3

So, after years of not agreeing with how the public school system runs things, we have decided to homeschool our children. Caitlin has already been attending an online homeschool program for about a year, and so this is what we chose to do with the other kids. They are all attending a school called Connections Academy. This is internet based, but kept more inside a private system than other online schools. Caitlin had attended one where she had to view things on YouTube. I did not like this. There are so many OTHER things that kids can find on YouTube than just school. The other school also had her attend "live" classes that took up much of her day. Connections Academy has become a great fit for our family! The kids are really enjoying the way they are learning, and that they are done with school by 11 just about every morning. They all still have "live" classes, but only if they want to attend.
  I am so glad that we made this change. I am in control of what my kids are learning, and what they are not. I can make their schedule to fit what we have planned for that day. It took a couple weeks for everyone get used to the new schedule and being together all the time, but it has been SO worth it. No more 7 hours of school and then another 2 hours of homework. YAHOO!!
