Says Sara at Shower of Roses, who homeschools children through eighth grade and then sends 'em on to a private Catholic high school about which she says "while excellent, has not been perfect:"
And if you're worried about being a bad teacher, imagine how it feels to pay for one!
Heh. I admit to occasionally being struck by fits of hyperventilation about what I'm taking on. Can I really do this well? I have always calmed myself down by reminding myself that I don't have to do it perfectly. I only have to do it as good as, or better, than a school!
(And then I remember how things were for me in elementary school, and I realize that it isn't going to be all that hard to meet that minimum.)
(Sara's commenting on Jen's very edifying post-discussion about "12 reasons people say they can't homeschool even though they may want to" in which she invited comments. 59 and counting, and a very good post to visit if you're curious about how — or why — homeschoolers do it.)
