The Familyman 

You want to quit homeschooling? Go ahead and QUIT!!!!

 

But before you sell the books on eBay and stick your kids out at the bus stop, let me tell you a story. Actually, it’s not one story, but several stories combined that I’ve heard from lots of parents. It goes something like this:

 

“I homeschooled our kids for several years, but it was so hard. The kids seemed like they weren’t getting it, and I didn’t enjoy homeschooling anymore. I looked around at everyone else’s children who were in school and they looked like they were learning so much and having the time of their lives. So I put them in school.” Then they pause and purse their lips together and add, “I thought we had problems before, but they were nothing compared to the issues we’re facing now; it was like throwing gas on a fire.”

 

So, go ahead and quit, but before you do, you might re-read the above paragraph. Those aren’t my words. They are the words of moms and dads who did quit, and who gave up because it was so hard.

 

“Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time WE WILL reap if we do not grow weary … (and stop). Galatians 6:9 (NASB)

 

Be real,

Todd

“Only just this past week have I seriously checked into the content of the SchoolhouseTeachers.com site … May I just say wow?!”

  –Janelle Chille

Mason City, IA

“I really enjoy reading all the THM articles. I learn a lot from Todd Wilson’s column. [He’s a] funny guy who speaks the simple truth! Thank you very much!”

–Charlene

Brandon, FL

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”

–Racheal Fowler

 Glen Burnie, Maryland

“So love reading TOS on my iPad from cover to cover every month!!!”
–Leigh Anne McGrady, Dunwoody, GA

“I love the new TOS app! So convenient. So quick. All the encouragement I need at my fingertips … any place at any time.”

–SpunkyHomeschool

“Thanks ever so much. I love the encouraging articles! I really loved the list of 25 all in one place. Nice to have this little bit of “free” encouragement in my mail. I don’t have funds to subscribe or purchase frills and with also working more than half time I don’t have time to search it out. May God bless you exceedingly.”

–Teresa, rural Kansas

“I absolutely love Todd’s column. He always seems to put things in the proper perspective, and it keeps me from getting all stressed and anxious. Thanks Todd, and thanks TOS!!”
