My Kids Are Deprived…

As I write this, Bene, our 10-year-old, will be Grade 5.
Let me share to you something shocking: To this day, he has yet to step into a regular classroom. He’s a deprived kid!
Check out this list:
· He’s never ridden a school bus.
· He’s never lined-up for a flag ceremony.
· He’s never eaten lunch in a school canteen.
· He’s never had to raise his hand for recitation.
· He’s never had to do assignments at night.
· He’s never had to go to the principal’s office.
· He’s never played basketball with his classmates.
· Because, technically, he’s never had a classmate!
Poor kid. Some of the experiences above are really good stuff.
But life is a choice. We chose that he experience OTHER things by homeschooling him. And my son loves homeschooling. He won’t exchange it for the world. Here’s why…
· He’s able to spend more time with his Daddy and Mommy each day. His relationship with us is tight—and for this alone—I thank God for homeschooling.
· He loves his younger brother and cares for him a lot.
· Because he can has time to read any book he chooses, he reads five books a week. He loves to read.
· Because he’s not trapped in a classroom, he’s learned so many skills: He’s a gymnast, a musician, a song writer, a painter, a tennis player, cartoonist, short story writer, magazine columnist, TV host, and blogger. Oh, he started preaching now, speaking to large audiences. At ten years old!
· Together with other homeschooled kids in Catholic Filipino Academy, he’s rappelled from a 30-foot hanging bridge and swam in an underground river! With them, he’s also visited zoos, parks, and factories.
· He has lots of friends. He meets them each Sunday at the Feast, our weekly prayer gathering. They play the whole day! During the week, he invites them at home. And believe me, his friends are the coolest bunch of kids you can get on the planet.
· When he was 5 years old, he started a business selling Bangus and earned enough money to buy his own toys.
· He hosts a kids’ TV show each week. He’s having so much fun. (Catch him on MustardTV, every 7am, Saturdays, on TV5.)
· He also writes for a kids’ magazine, Mustard.
· Because he’s not tied down in school, he travels with me a lot in my mission trips. He’s been to ten countries so far. Again, it’s not so much the places we go to, but the fact that we’re together—that’s the incredible gift.
· He’s great with computers and the internet.
· He’s writing his own book now.
· He loves God. He wants to follow Jesus.

Hey, I’m not putting down regular schools.
There are great schools out there!
But what I’m doing, perhaps for the first time, is making parents consider homeschooling as a valid alternative. That it can be a great option for your kids.
Because for the longest time, homeschooling wasn’t even in the radar of most parents’ thinking. It was unthinkable. “Give the education of your kids to the experts,” we were told.
I repeat: There are great schools out there. So do your research.
With your research, why not study this option—Teach your kids at home.
I’m not going to kid you. It’s not easy. The sacrifices are huge.
But I think it’s a wonderful option to consider.
