Ten Reasons for always continuing homeschooling!!!

I have been blessed with a cheerful and mainly optimistic disposition to home schooling! Here are my main reasons
1] God commands us to teach our children.
2] We are the best teachers, as we know our children.
3]Homeschooling enables our children to pursue their interests. School just churns out much of the same.
4] We want our children to live godly lives.
5] We want our children to be able to live successfully for God and manage their families. School doesn't teach this.
6] The sex education taught in the schools is contrary to what the Bible teaches, and in parts is compulsory.
7] Evolution is taught as fact, thus taking the glory away from God. By homeschooling, we give God the rightful place.
8] There is no discipline in schools. Safety of the children is compromised, in some cases even life threatening.
9] By home schooling, our children can cultivate healthy and meaningful rleationships .within the family. School children are encouraged to despise brother/sister/ Mother e.t.c. They have an unhelthy peer dependency and children are naturally foolish.
10] We can be sure knowing that our children are where God wants them and we are fulfilling our purpose of ministry. By sending them to school we are neglecting evangelism and our family is more important.
