I went to surf the “blogosphere” a bit today and found a thoughtful entry in “A Woman On Purpose”, sunniemom’s blog. Here’s a short excerpt:
Home education can seriously reduce peer dependency and the sacrifice of individuality to conformity. A parent is able to nurture positive morality, ethical values, and critical thinking.

A teen can realize the pride of ownership, taking responsibility for their own future by focusing on their interests and abilities, even carving out their own course of study. If our self image is impacted by our relationships with other people, how much can we improve our childrens’ (sic) self esteem by enabling them to experience the satisfaction of contributing to someone else’s well-being?
